Wilson returned to action after missing several games with a wrist injury as Holy Innocents defeated Stone Mountain 69-38.  Wilson a double-double with 23 points and 14 rebounds. He also had two assists and two blocked shots.
 

Watching his game from last night and I don’t know how tall he is now, but he’s not 6’8” anymore. Looks a lot more like 6’10” or 6’11”. And he’s still all arms and legs, but that is one talented kid.

Good grief.  What is this world coming to.  Last night's Holy Innocent's vs. Southwest DeKalb was officiated by 3 women.  3 women!  And none of them were barefoot or appeared to be pregnant.

IMO they were a better crew than some of the other HS games I've watched this winter with 3 men.  At the very least they were consistent with their calls throughout the game.

Holy Innocent's (14-10)  lost 55-50 to SW DeKalb (22-2) and Wilson was a non-factor.  He picked  up his second foul 90 seconds into the 2nd Q and 30 sec. later foul #3 trying to block a shot.  2 and a half minutes into the 3rd Q he picked up #4.  He rebounded the missed free throw and raced down the court and steamrolled a defender for foul #5.  Honestly, it almost seemed like he knew he'd get #5 and didn't care.  May be a completely unfair characterization but that was my impression.

Nice, I didn't think he was 6'10 and he has grown 2 inches. Well maybe. Hope we continue to recruit.

Hell of a talent. Prediction: Wilson’s going to go to either a camp or an EYBL event this spring with the mindset to just kill everybody. He’s gonna look like Kevin Garnett minus the sheer insane competitiveness, will give some kid like Boozer all he wants, and everyone will jump in at that point. So, hopefully, being in early helps.
