Do you know how many countless players there are who can play ball but didn’t get the big “offer”? Does not having the offer suggest you cannot compete? I argue the point again that in the sport of basketball, having the size matters to many college coaches and will -most times- get picked up before someone who doesn’t have the size but more than likely has a better skillset. Look at how they treated Isaiah Thomas in the NBA. Why? He lacks the size, but can out play most of them. Look at Steph Curry. He barely got picked up for a full ride st a small college, and he’s arguably the best shooter to ever hit the floor.
A person’s location (Delaware) doesn’t determine whether you can ball or not. Now that’s just silly. STB’s guards like CJ Wilcher has offers, not just because he can play but he’s 6’5”.
@DDBasketballCoach, I do think this squad is better for three reasons: their record suggests it, They have another Allen on the team, and their guards are stronger (true guards) than the 15-16 squad. Jordan Allen a (Delaware Player) went to New Jersey’s “Rider” U (D1), and is dominating over there in New Jersey. His brother Elijah will probably end up there as well. From my understanding, there has been a lot of interest. Those guards have a lot of college interests and will get picked up. I’m not saying they could beat STB, but I don’t believe it would be a blowout either. I personally watched those guys play when they offered for Eden Davis to come up to several practices with them. Dover’s guards have played on the same floor as teammates with some of them and against the same top-ranked talent during the off season in Vegas, Cali, Texas, Atlanta, and Indianapolis. So I think they shouldn’t be downplayed as a sub-par team because they are a Delaware team, and the only team in the state that can compete is Sanford! IMO
