Who wouldn’t take Queen if he wanted to come there? He basically has an open offer anywhere

[Demo]

Another video demonstrating just how developed Queen’s footwork is. After watching Queen and Reneau, the coach who works with Montverde’s bigs needs a raise.

On an OV to Maryland this weekend.  Hopefully he comes away very unimpressed,

The South Walnut Dairy Queen is 3.6 miles from Assembly Hall. There isn’t a Dairy Queen within 20 minutes of College Park. I’m feeling pretty good here.

In the 80-55 win over IMG, Queen only played 5 min.  Unsure why.

Double double for Queen

Montverde participating in the Iolani Classic in Hawaii and won its opening game 92-49 over St. Louis, a local Hawaiian high school.  Queen did not start but I had him finishing with 17p; 2r; 1a; 2s; 1b; 0t.

In their second game at the Iolani Classic, MVA steamrolled Iolani 84-26.  The led 25-5 after the 1st Q and never looked back.  Queen had team-highs of 17 points and 13 rebounds. 

MVA is back in action on Wednesday morning at 1:00 am ET (Tuesday evening at 8:00 pm in Honolulu) for a semifinal round game against Mount St. Joseph. The game can be seen via YouTube live stream free of charge.   NOTE:  MSJ is where Bryson Tiller played last year before joining Overtime Elite.  MSJ does still have Amani Hansberry, an Illinois commit.  I watched several of MSJ's games last season and Hansberry will be a load in the B1G.  Plays hard, rebounds, can shoot the 3.

Mount Saint Joseph didn't get the memo.  They trailed 23-12 after the 1st Q but ended up winning 56-55.  Montverde looked tired and played sloppy ball.  Queen does not start and played less than 7 min. today and didn't see any action in the second half.  He finished with 6p; 1r; 1b.  IMO his physical conditioning is sorely lacking.  MVA plays again today and then heads back to Florida.

MVA defeated Milton (GA) 79-45 in the 3rd place game of the Iolani Championship.  After only playing 7 min. yesterday, today Queen got the start in place of Asa Newell and logged 20-25 min. recording a double double.       13p; 12r; 4a; 0s; 2b; 0t.

Sometimes it's more entertaining to watch Coach Kevin Boyle on the sideline than the actual game.  He never stops coaching and is quite animated.

ESPNU will carry the Montverde vs Sunrise Christian game on Thursday, Jan. 5, at 5:00.  Sunrise roster includes '25 Mikel Brown who holds an IU offer and Miro Little who had an IU offer before committing to Baylor.

[Class of '66 Old Fart]

Queen had quite the first half against Sunrise Christian.  17 pts (7-9 FG), 4 reb, 2 ast, stl, blk

I don't know who this imposter is, but it's not Derik Queen.  I watched Queen play 4 games in the Iolani Classic 3 weeks ago and this guy playing tonight can't be the same guy.  Except for a single game in Hawaii, Queen was just not that impressive and now tonight he's putting MVA on his back.
