Word for Word what I was planning to post before even reading this thread....

 

[Baller1]

On a positive note.... from that short video link.... VERY impressed with Will Cherry.... I think that was him dunking off the steal(how long has it been since we've had a guard do that?? not since Virgil I think)..... but more so how well spoken he is for just a Senior in HS.... seems like a kid who will come in and lead from day 1.....

Here is something from Rivals.com related to the above post.

Will Cherry is the floor leader and steadying force for the McClymonds Warriors

5. Will Cherry, McClymonds

12 points for this 6-foot-1 Montana-bound senior guard in a winning performance. It seemed like each of his buckets was a crowd-pleaser, though. He is lightning-quick, as no one on Monte Vista could stay with him. Two people on McClymonds took more shots than Cherry, who finished 5 of 9 from the field. In order for McClymonds to win again next week, I think that Cherry has to take the most shots out of anybody on the team. Cherry seems to be the team leader on the court. Damon Powell seems to be the emotional leader, but Cherry seems a bit more rational and under control. Another very significant stat is that he committed zero turnovers against a very disciplined Monte Vista defense.

I watched this kid tonight on TV down in LA...he is a real time player....they won the California Div 1 championship against a legendary outfit down here...Dominguez High....and it was not close....Cherry was probably the 3rd best player in this game, and that is saying something! The announcers were impressed as well......if he actually shows up in Missoula, mens basket ball is going to have a revival...this kid is good......very good.....

if nothing else, he's already brought us a ton of publicity. you don't ever see his name in the paper without "montana-bound" attached to it, and we'll be mentioned another dozen times on tv saturday during the state high school championship game.

I hope the California GRIZ fans can help me out here. Are the CA State Tournament basketball games on any regional sports networks? I would love to watch Cherry play, if all possible. Thanks

The game last night, played in Sacto was the Div 1 championship....and, you are right, Montana was mentioned in connection with Cherry....the real star here is on his way to San Diego! Apparently, academics are highly valued these days in Oakland...the "Obama effect" as a friend calls it......

For those with DTV, I found this game listed for Saturday 8pm Mountain Time on channels 694 and/or 696. I will be watching it.

 

[LakGriz]

Is DTV Direct TV or Dish?
Thanks..

 

[mtgrizrule]

DirecTV. Those with Dish will have to post it here.

Every video i see of this kid i am more and more impressed. Very well spoken, inteligent and seemingly mature beyond his years. Just seems like a really good kid especially considering where he came from.

Oh yeah, he is also a very good prospect and player. Big time athlete, very quick, can really get out and run, can throw down in traffic and breakdown the deffense to create for himself and others. But i think the most important things are he is an intense but cool headed leader, a winner, and a staunch defender who really takes pride in it. He also plays for a program that really stresses defense and is used to winning. Looks like the best high school perimeter prospect we have brought in since at least the 02 class. Just hope everything works out.
