Re: Center of the High School Universe

DeMarcus Cousins i think is just a flat out stud. I dont know if anyone can stop him but just slow him down. I wouldnt want to see him coming down the lane full speed.

Re: Center of the High School Universe

derrick favors can stop him. It is going to be a great game. Leflore has power and favors is more agile. Going to be a great matchup.

Re: Center of the High School Universe

Favors is a beast. I saw him play against Duncanville and he had 30 points and 20 rebounds against Duncanville who was preseaon number 1 in country. He was 6-6 the first half and had 20 pts and 10 rebounds. At one point he dunked on 4 duncanville players. Favors is the real deal Holyfield.

Re: Center of the High School Universe

They do. Jrue Holiday was the winner last season. I think Derrick Favors is the front runner this year. Greg Oden won the award twice in consecutive years and so did Bron Bron. Other winners inclure, Felipe Lopez, JR reid, C-Webb, and Corliss Willamson. Just some interesting names I thought I would throw out there.

Re: Center of the High School Universe

thats some good history marion. JR reid and corliss williamson are two old school names. To win it two years in a row is an amazing feat considering lebron was one of them is not a surprise.
