Topic: Eli Allen is best player in the state

[Herd2believe]

Have seen neither Nutter of Allen play. But people I know and respect have and say Allen a lot better. Has offers from VMI and Radford? Have to admit, I?m favorable to #304boys

[herdfan2015]

He can?t play here at this level IMO.  Although neither can pretty much our entire bench so he would fit right in at least.

Eli Allen was named the winner of the Evans Award as the state's top basketball player.

It is ignorant to even think multiple years down the road at this point in time. Building a team is year to year with portal. By this time next week our team could look completely different if a couple people leave after their meetings and we hit the portal

You should tell that to DD. Otherwise don?t mention DD and portal in the same sentence.

I?d like to sign him.  We?ve had several WV single A basketball stars do quite well for us over the years.  Off the top of my head:

1) Andre Cunningham- Matewan
2) Andy Paul Williamson- Harts
3) Joda Burgess- CK
4) Jarod West

Its ignorant to think that Dantoni will use the portal. Lol

Would we waste our one scholarship on someone that couldn't jump in and immediately help?

[miltonherdfan]

As opposed to wasting 5-6 on several that will never help?

WE wouldn't waste our 1 scholarship on someone as you suggested, but the 1 making that call doesn't ever see a sense of urgency like WE do. If he did, we'd have a lot more than 1 to give...

The real Herd fans expect a coach that puts winning above making the fans love and above getting players from 304 area code.

Dan seemed to have the most success when he was getting the better kids in wv

I?m sure he?s looking to add a 6? 8? 160lb guy who averaged 6pts and 3rbs a game.  I guess one good thing about Dan?s recruiting is he never has to worry about not getting a player he wants.  Because nobody else does.  I will give him an A for that!  Go Herd

Allen announced he is headed to play at Moravian Prep School. A good move on his part. This is some one our staff should keep an eye on this upcoming year.
