JTFAN99 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I'm sure I am late to the party, but I just found out that the number 1 recruit in Texas (and a 5-star player according to 247) resides in the East Texas....Daimion Collins from Atlanta, TX. It made me wonder when the last time East Texas had a 4 or 5 star basketball player. According to 247, Damion James of Nacogdoches in 2006 was the last one. There was a kid name Victor Iwuakor from Sulphur Springs in 2019 that went to OU. He was recruited by tons big schools, but I think he was originally a 3 star.

DeKlabBeers Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Kentucky is currently 5-13 and lost to Arkansas last night. Hardly a good place to go play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time, Longview had like 6 freshmen on the roster which obviously has dwindled down since the others arrived. Believe there's 2 now.

frozeng03 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Atlanta was also without 4 players (3 starters) when we lost to Tatum 62-53 at your place . Which we had to clear the gym. So you pretty much played Collins and Dickerson and our JV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texlov Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Tatum has a great team, but the best player in East Texas is from Atlanta. If they played again I'd take Tatum, but the best player is Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You (I assume it's you...and other Tatum fans) also made several comments/cheap shots about him on the FSW Friday Night Lights app back in the fall. Calling him "the Stick". If that Tatum kid is as good as you think why isn't he being recruited/scouted by large basketball programs? And like I said on the FSW app...once he's out of HS and gets into a college conditioning/strength program we'll see who has the last laugh.

BlackShirtD Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 They don’t make them 6’9 everyday and with a little athleticism he should be the highest recruit in the state. The ATL team is good but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ATL team is good but not great. Exactly. People can't seem to grasp that colleges are after him for his potential...not just for what he currently is. They see what he can become with another 50-75 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
