Who's getting Jack the ball. Best ball handler I've seen Charlie was probably the best guard in the state last year. Why would it be different this year. It'd be really interesting to see how Jack would do with out Charlie. Cuz I believe Charlie's success wouldn't change if Jack wasn't around. Can't say the same about Jack without Chuck.

BH, Give it up. Your theory is bunk. Yes, Charlie is and has been the best point guard in the state for some time now. He is borderlind D1, but only because of his height. If he were a few inches taller, there is no doubt he is D1, and I believe he will have a shot at D1 if he wants it. But to say Jack wouldn't be successful without him is , like I said, Bunk. McGillis has created much of his own success and worked very hard in becoming the top recruit in the State.

IN my opinion Cox is the star of Helgate. In the game against Helena High in Helena, Cox made the three to send the game into overtime, he made a runner in the lane(at the buzzer) to send the game to a second overtime, and took another runner at the end of the second overtime that ended up getting tipped in for the 80-79 win. Cox ended up with 35 and 7 or so assists in the game and I think McGillis had about 15 points. In a tough game Cox is the go to guy. If Helgate wins the title this weekend, Cox will have three good games. If Cox struggles in one of the games I think that Helgate will get beat.

I would be curious how good Hellgate would have been without the 2 Sentinel area kids playing for them. I do believe the Hellgate coach is a better teacher of the game, so it was a good choice for Cox. But it would have been fun watching him play with Sentinel on last years team.

As far as this poll goes, I agree that McGillis is D-1. As far as Hasquet, I wouldn't be surprised if he went D-1, but only because of his name and his height. At 6-7 he can shoot the ball when open, but that is ABOUT it. Mark my words that he will not be an impact player at the D-1 level. I think that Cox and Morris do have the potential to play D-1 ball, even if Juco is the route they have to take. Cox is also 6-0, the same height as Matt Martin and Casey Durham, so I don't know if his height is the issue. I just think no one wants to take a chance on a couple of Montana guards>>even though I think they can play at that level.

I would tend to agree. I really think Kellen could make an impact eventually with the right D-1 team, as long as he was able to be a role player. I think he could eventually be a guy who hit some key 3 point shot, get some reounds, assisits, plays good defence and makes those around him better, but he just does not have the personality to be a guy who takes over games. AND do not call him Lazy he is not! McGillis has potential to star and take over games, he is not as well rounded as Kellen but has a better varity of offencive moves and is much more agressive. I think Charlie Cox has the same problem Casey Durham had coming out of Highschool too short, too small. I had a friend of Casey and Mick Durham tell me once when I was talking about Micks recruiting. "Hell Mick did not even think Casey was D-1 material!" Basically Casey had to go out and prove it to his own Dad.
