  • Max B. again

    Same song - different verse



    Hard to deny his stock is rising.

    He is clearly among the best of the left-over top players who have not committed.

      Saw Max play last night vs Central...there were at least two college coaches in attendance..Max had a brutal game inside...Central was really physical and played some intense defense all night...not a pretty game, but entertaining to say the least...I think Max had 21 points..not sure about the boards...but Central did not get too many second chances...

      ND has a nice balanced team...big 3 pint shots by Reynolds and Matthews....a couple of nice drives by Dmo as well..late in the game...Lane is a fiery kid...scrappy group of players...

      Really liked #25 for Central .....Hate to say I forgot his name..but that youngman can play...is it Kellum?

        We are really missing the boat on this kid. IMO

          saw Max play last night for the first time and I was not impressed at all. The kid would get dominated in the valley IMO. He was getting pushed around all night by Central kids that were 6'2-6'4. He didnt make a shot over 5ft. The refs were pretty brutal and favorable to him as he shot 20 free throws!! He did make 15 of them so 75% is pretty good for a big man. I'm sure he probably had 12 boards and 3 or 4 blocks but its only because of the competition hes playing against. I was not really impressed by ND. They are ranked no 1 in state and are still undefeated but there just must not be any real elite teams out there this year. Central was much more quick and better on D than ND IMO. ND has a nice couple of shooters like David Molanari who compliment Max very well. I would not offer Max after last night performance.

              I'm not sure there are many people in the country who know more about Max's game than Jim Les. Coach might not think he is good enough, or there could be a million other reasons why either BU or Max are not interested. The little I have heard from people around PND is that the disinterest is mutual.

                This was the 1st time you saw him? That game was ugly and I am sure you came away with a bad impression...you were right when you said he was getting pushed around by Central kids(pl) because he was double and tripled teamed all night...something he will not have to face once he is in College playing...I did think he got some favorable calls a couple of times, seemed like the Central defenders had arms straight up and still got called for a foul...glad you aren't a recruiter one night can not be the judge...

                  A smaller, slightly more athletic Sam Singh I think is a good comparison. He dominated the HS ranks too ya know.

                    So better than any BU post player not named Jordan right now?

                      He's local and I understand why there is talk of the kid but we all know that the chance of him playing at BU regardless of talent level or our interest one way or the other is going to happen. The reasons have been hashed over more then a late night meal after a night of going out with with the guys.

                        From what I have seen, this is an excellent comparison for Max!

                          Except Max has the ability to step back and hit the occasional 3 and has a really good mid range jump shot. He just doesnt need to with the team that surrounds him at ND since he has good shooters around him.

                            I'm glad you arent a recruiter either. The times when he didnt get double teamed he was taking fade away 12 footers and wasnt ever close. How can you say he would play in the MVC if he was getting pushed around by a kid that was 3 inches shorter than him?? A weak 6'6 kid cant play the 4 spot in the valley and I havent heard anyone say the kid can shot the ball good enough to play a 3.

                              Heemy not sure how many times you've seen him but he can play at BU no doubt. I don't think he wants to though. Just hope he doesn't go to another Valley school.There's a guy up the road by the name of Rice that some on here wanted but don't think we were interested and look how thats worked for us.
