Dang. I missed this. I might go only to see Chicago Perspectives....because that has to be the same Chicago Perspectives Anthony Davis plays for right?
 
Yes, Anthony Davis plays for a small high school in the Chicago Public League, Chicago Perspectives.
They played tonight (not in the TOC) and Anthony Davis had 41 points, 21 rebounds, 8 steals, and 3 assists in his first game. Not a bad night. He should be fun to watch. He plays at 5:30 pm Wednesday.

Here is the schedule for the games in the State Farm Tournament of Champions-
http://www.sftofc.org/schedules.html
 
By the way, Max Bieldfeldt's 39 points was a record for the tournament.
Here is a PJ Star rundown of the games-
http://www.pjstar.com/preps/x196681...ores-39-in-victory-at-Tournament-of-Champions

Max's TOC record of 39 points and his 13 rebounds and 5 blocks are even more impressive considering he played against 6'9" Jay Simpson of Champaign Central. Simpson is regarded by many as the top big man in the state of Illinois in the class of 2012, and is already committed to Purdue. Max helped hold Simpson to just 6 points on 3 baskets, and no free throws, while Max connected on 18 of 19 free throws.
http://www.chicagohoops.com/articles1/2012rankings.html
 
35 shot attempts

35 shot attempts

Heck if it takes you 35 shot attempts to get 39 points then thats a problem..Simpson is over rated and will have a tough time getting into the Purdue line up anytime soon.
 
Note that Peoria Notre Dame plays again tonight, while 6'10" Anthony Davis (the #1 rated player in the country) and Chicago Perspectives HS plays this afternoon. Like most Bradley fans, I will be at the Bradley games, so if anyone can give us a report from any of today's games, please do so.

Where did you see that Max took 35 shots?

And I have talked to people who have seen Jay Simpson, and there is a reason Purdue went after him and got a commitment this early (he is a class of 2012 and won't play at Purdue for 2 more years). He is a very talented and skilled big man. As I posted above, he is one of the top couple big man in the state of Illinois for the class of 2012.

Here's the right link for the report in Max Bielfeldt's game (via chicagohoops.com)
http://hoopsillinois1.hoops247.com/...erful-39-point-13-reboud-effort&catid=40:news

I also have nothing that says Max took that many shots..and Max also had 5 blocks...
Here's Max' AAU coach...
http://twitter.com/PeoriaIrish/status/7248009121234944

Oh -- and btw -- for anyone who said that Coach Jim Molinari's kid might show some D-I talent if he's playing at Notre Dame with Max Bielfeldt...
David Molinari missed all his shots and was 1-3 from the FT line for a game total of 1 point.....


BTW -- Anthony Davis' 41 points and 20 rebs was against Timothy Christian, a school that has an enrollment of 397 -- roughly equal to Fieldcrest, Dee Mack, El Paso or Petersburg-Porta....
even tho I know Davis' perspectives school is even smaller...

I've never seen Jim's boy play so I can't comment on his play, but this was just the first game of the season and with a new team, so I wouldn't pass judgement yet.
 
Max Bieldfeldt scored 26 points and had 9 rebounds in Peoria Notre Dames second win in the State Farm tournament yesterday. PND beat O'Fallon 63-46. Teammate David Molinari had 15 points and 4 assists.
ChicagoHoops.com had O'Fallon ranked as the #4 team in the state of Illinois in their preseason ranking!

Very, very disappointing...
the local media has had almost no coverage of this nationally recognized tournament...

Here's just a little more...

--Anthony Davis of Chicago Perspectives..
"..His supporting cast, to put it mildly, isn’t great, and with that Davis has to
do everything. He is a one man show out there at times. In recording a
ridiculously impressive triple-double, Davis hit threes off the catch and off the
bounce, scored off right hand and left hand drives, rebounded out of his
area, blocked shots, and made excellent passes. All of that and with two
minutes left and his team down 40, Davis was still diving on the floor after
loose balls. His motor never quits, and his skill keeps getting better."


-Max Biefeldt...
"Make no mistake about it, if you are looking for an athletic big guy,
Biefeldt is not that. He is a below the rim scorer, but in a win over O’Fallon he
was very impressive. Biefeldt hit a pair of threes, added another mid-range
jumper, and scored on a variety of crafty post moves over either shoulder.
He is probably closer to 6-foot-7 than 6-foot-8, and doesn’t have great
length which limits him on defense, but at the mid-major level he could
become a pick and pop matchup problem if he can prove to get stronger and
become a better rebounder."

Hey the Findlay kids were on my flight on Wednesday night...

They were bigger than our Braves....

Made me wonder what in the heck is going on at that Prep level.
 
Donivine looked awesome -- had the crowd buzzing...too bad they faced a team whose superstar went for 42!! (Kedren Johnson - Vanderbilt commit over heavy recruiting push from Louisville & Tennessee)
Marshall Co. 80 - Limestone 70..was tied at 37 @ half..
Marshall Co. is one of the elite teams in the nation and Donivine helped his team play close all the way!!


Findlay Prep & La Lumiere tied at 23 at the half
 
Limestone and Marshall County were tied 55-55 after three quarters, and it stayed even until the last 5 or 6 minutes. Then Marshall Co. made a run and Limestone had to take some bad shots and foul to try to catch up.
Donivine had a great game with 22 points, and he made several threes.
I sat near several college coaches watching the game, and the consensus among them was that Bradley is getting a steal.

Kedren Johnson, the 6-5, 220 lb all-everything point guard for Marshall County had 42 pts, 14 rbs, 9 asts, and took at least half the shots for his team. He is a ton.
 
Without seeing any of the game or the type of defense ran against the kid from Vandy, the numbers suggest DS didn't play great D. Does anyone who was there have thoughts on this??

I know that the kid is basically a linebacker playing PG, and I'm not trying to knock DS whatsoever..just trying to get a feel for how the game went on the defensive end. I also think it's a good sign that when he drew the toughest matchup on defense his offense didn't seem to suffer.

Like the coaches in attendance, I think DS is a steal. I love the fact that he has pride in and wants to play for his hometown team. I haven't seen him play in person since his freshman year when they played Washington and Matt Roth..but, I was with two guys who played significant college ball (one at BU) for that game, and they said they would both be surprised if DS wasn't a top 150 recru

Looking forward to seeing him, Remy, and Sean in a BU uniform.
