IU/Butler/Notre Dame

You are very spot on! If you had an opportunity to view this kid’s routine and work ethic outside games and his overall disposition off the court I think you’d be even higher in him. Head and shoulders above anything I’ve ever seen from a perspective or intestinal fortitude and determination.

Thank YOU. I was a little surprised with Burris because they appeared to have 3 quality varsity caliber players...especially number 5. They should be much better than their record.

Amen

Really appreciate the time you put into the review and overall fair shake you’ve given the kid but I do respectfully disagree with one assessment/observation. Your statement that Parker was Browns responsibility the entire game isn’t quite fair. Blackford inexplicably started the game in a strange match-up type zone ( presumably to keep Parker and their taller player from owning the paint as Blackford isn’t a big team ) which lead to a 25-7 start to the game and Parker racking up 19 of his 41 in the first quarter. Once the bruises switched to man to man brown actually did an admirable job ( I felt Parker was bored in the second quarter thinking it was a run away but he picked it up when it got tight down the stretch). Rewatch the game after the switch to man to man and then subtract the free throws at the end of the game when Blackford was forced to foul and I think you’ll find brown held him to about 11-14 points over the three quarters of man which is as good as anyone has done against Parker all year.

Great assessment by you AND your brother and great pick up on the way he handled the personal milestone. If you had any opportunities to observe this kid in non-game situations and off the court you’d be even more sold I promise.
