Jballer-of the teams you listed in the GMC, no one had more than 3 players playing another sport. I think that verifies what I have been posting about.
I seen A. Robbins play at the freshman level not the JV level. He is a good ball handler but he did absolutely nothing at the freshman level. He put up more airballs then any player I've ever seen. It seems in Hamilton certain player receive alot of hype for no reason. I did see him play at garfield and he did well. But if he plays varsity next year Tim should just announce his retirement after the season.
Nothing at the Freshman level? Probably led the team in scoring every game.
You do realize Tim started 3 sophmore guards this year right? So if Robbins plays varsity as a sophmore you think Robinson should just retire, that is funny. He would be their best option at point guard next year and then maybe slide over to the 2 spot when R. Robinson is ready to play up.
Don't know what your issue is with the kid to blast him on a High School thread, maybe because he plays over your child and you don't like that.
I love the in "Hamilton certain players receive alot of hype for no reason" comment, that just shows you are a disgruntled parent.
Just because someone thinks he should start does not mean they are hyping him up, they just feel he is the best option at this time.

I agree with everything you said about Robbins but the problem (which is a good problem to have) is Riggins, Robinson, and Robbins are all good point guards. One of those three will be next years point guard which I would prefer the ball to be in Riggins hands as much as possible. That kid just sees the floor so well and with Jones, Robbins, and possibly Robinson spotting up for threes this team should be fun to watch.

Very good point, I was thinking of Riggins as more as a 3 for this team due to lack of size. But you are right, he would probably be best at point. Hopefully one of these kids grow 6" over the summer .
Myers-White was the third best player on Hamilton's title team. Lampley and Williams were the best two players. And all those GMC guys you mentioned only one is a baseball player. Baseball is the one that hurts the most in terms of being able to develop at basketball. Again, playing AAU is huge. You get to see much better competition and have to play at a much higher speed in AAU. When you come back to HS ball everything seems easier after having played AAU. Lots of football players are still playing AAU. Baseball players don't play AAU. AAU runs primarily in April and May.
Best example that I can use of not playing AAU being still beneficial is the '04 class at Moeller. Andrew Brackman was a big time baseball player, and thus played a limited amount of AAU. He was D1 player of the year as a senior. Josh Duncan never played AAU, instead choosing to work on his game on his own. He was D1 player of the year as a junior and developed into maybe the best player on a very good Xavier team. Yes, these guys were very big, but they were also very skilled and competitive and, most importantly, played at their best within a team concept. That last part is something that I have never seen AAU develop in a player.
Oh, boy. I was going to keep quiet but I have to defend the Robbins kid. His presence was immediately felt on the JV team when he came up. He never seemed to be plagued with ball control or turnover issues. He is great at ball handling and control, and he's especially good at driving down the sidelines when you need him to. He's not a bad shot, either. The Guard position will have a veritable GLUT of kids coming up.
Very good point, I was thinking of Riggins as more as a 3 for this team due to lack of size. But you are right, he would probably be best at point. Hopefully one of these kids grow 6" over the summer .
I know some people think Riggins should play off the ball next season kind of like he did this year. I do think that would be okay with the other guards they have but he is such a play maker I would want the ball in his hands. I could see Jamil being that kid that sprouts up a few inches this summer.
Robbins starting..... What??? Why wouldnt Jones still be starting??? you've got to be kidding me lets look at the factors here Robbins who plays baseball, basketball, will not be able to find a aau team to have the time to work on his game. On the other hand Jones will probably be playing basketball till it starts back up again...
Starting line up for next year will be like LaSalle's when they won the state tournament last year... small but quick
1.K.Sims
2.C.Jones
3.A.Riggans
4.Q.Bailey
5.J.Daniels
--Bench Players--
K.Frierson
D.Francis
M.Snyder
M.Oliver
T.Denton
Z.Bane
A.Robbins

I didn't blast the kid,I was just stating what I saw. I don't believe he led in scoring every game. I believe Keene lead in scoring. And for you to put Robbins and Robinson as the best options as PG shows you know nothing about Hamilton Bball, Riggins will be the PG. My son is an 8th grader so that blows your little disgruntled parent theory out the water. I seen the kid play alot he did good at the jr. high level but didn't produce much at the freshman level. And not just him there are a whole list of players that Hamilton fans get giddy over who I don't think are the best players around

Robbins is already a better ball handler is he not? And Hamilton's biggest downfall this season was a lack of a ball handler. I like what Jones can bring as a shooter especially on a team with good ball handlers who can get him open shots. Much like Merz did for his brother.

Robbins will have to beat out Sims from the the point guard position he is much stronger than robbins and has more experience .

I agree with that Robbins may not start but by the time the season ends I would guess they would be close in minutes played. I would still rather see Robbins more. Sims decision making is questionable at times he's a good ball handler but plays timid.
This will be a young team again but i think this team has so much talent and potenial from Riggins , Daniels , Davis, Jones , Bailey, Robbins, Robinson tht is talent and it seems to be a bright next couple of years for the BLUE!

So if Davis is back do you still think Jones will start? I think that would move Robbins to the bench and I would go with
Wow..you guys are still stating info that is not true... that just let's me know most of you should stop while you are ahead..... Middletown has a litany of 2 and 3 sport ath... Vince (played fb), Jalin, G, Chance, Zach, Jordann, EJ Colson, EJ Junior, Kyle Junior, Brad Carr, Andrew Burton, Cody Quinn... all of these guys and more... Jalin actually was three sport ath(track, bb, fb)
So if Davis is back do you still think Jones will start? I think that would move Robbins to the bench and I would go with
Riggins
Davis
Bailey
Daniels
Oliver
With Davis coming back i still see Jones starting. I would like to see them play at the same time two shooters on the court will spread the defense out and more driving lanes
To answer a question earlier in the thread....There are at least nine players in the Big Blue program participating in AAU basketball and perhaps more. So Coach Robinson has done a good job making sure kids are getting year round activity if they are so inclined. Some of those kids are balancing baseball as well, but they are playing hoops. Roster spots should be competitive next season, and that's a good thing.

I really can't wait for next season to get here I think they should be a really fun team to watch. Plus I want to see what it is actually like for the new gym to be packed during some competitive games
