Rabby’s writeup on the Karvala signing. Apparently, he put off his signing to today to allow teammate Miles Sadler to have full attention to make his announcement. If so that’s a very gracious move. Speaks highly of the kid.

Kudos to Joe Tipton for including a pic of Karvala in an IU jersey for his promo tweet of the Players Era High School Showcase

He’s a sort of Yogi-like small PG going to West Virginia. Good player.

Drew in Vegas for Tarkanian Classic watching Karvala.  7 points 9 rebounds.

Also watched ’28 Parker McDaniel who apparently has taken a UV to IU.  Drew also watched ’27 Antonio Pemberton at a different Vegas event.

Quite the sightseeing tour for Karvala the next month: Vegas and Ft Myers, Fl followed by…..Laporte, IN and Quincy, Il.

No shame in this loss.  Prolific Prep is ranked #1 in the nation.

Bella Vista’s actual results are gonna be tied pretty heavily to what Sadler does. He plays with the ball a lot and hunts his 1st. Would imagine Nasir Anderson was a bad matchup for him. That kid’s got the body and athleticism of a 25yo man.
