Pfloyd surely you won’t disappoint the masses because of two posters. I have read seops for more than 10 years and come to this site to see what you have to say more than anything else. I have thought at times the Dragons were too high and at others too low but heck the Buckeyes are always too low if they are not number 1. TrojanDave needs to get a grip on life this is like trying to fact-check an OPINION. I promise there are thousands of readers that want you to do what you do and maybe two that don’t. Although I would say even they want you to continue but just change YOUR OPINION! Please don’t stop Elite 8!!!
Let's get this thread BACK from the dark side please ...
* Portsmouth is at #40 in my preseason - all of the jumping up and down won't change that ... I've been proven wrong before ... Portsmouth plays 3 straight games from 12/8 - 12/15 vs higher ranked teams in my preseason again show me on the court I was wrong ... in December (unless games are cancelled etc.) PHS plays 3/4 games vs higher preseason ranked teams - South Point (22), Chesapeake (11), Fairland (1), Rock Hill (60) ... 4 or their next 11 games are vs higher ranked teams in the preseason AGAIN show me I'm wrong - the chance to do so is there ... I hope they do !!! I want teams to do well ! ... win they move up ...lose? not so much ... the opportunities are their to show that someone on the team from last season besides Fraulini can score from the perimeter ... PHS has speed, can get to the rim - a given but they struggled vs the teams that played solid D and who took away the perimeter game ... 4/5 starters DOES bode well for the Trojans and should ! BUT they need shooters and perimeter scorers so they are at least a threat to score from the perimeter AGAIN prove me wrong ...
** trojandave and biggdowg are great guys !!! I've know them seemingly forever! have sat with them CHEERING ON THE TROJANS ! yes trojandave is a fanatic PHS fan ... yes trojandave has told me in no uncertain terms how wrong I have been in the past ranking the Trojans ... I can take the criticism ... and I can still call them both friends, fans of the game of hoops ...
*** 93bulldog and I HAVE disagreed at least the 161,000+ times he posted over the years !!! it's been all in good fun - Morgan should still be included in the SEO rankings 93dog !!!
**** I'm still ranking teams, it apparently will go back to the beginning days of the rankings before I started traveling SEO - knowledge of teams will come from you the posters on SEOPS, the newspaper accounts of the games all over SEO, listening to games on the radio, watching as many live streamed games as possible ... I love high school boys hoops!!! end of story ... I will continue to follow the teams all 71 or so ALL season !!! it's what I do ... is it ideal this season - far from it ... can't even do game recaps with napkin stats this season !!!
***** ALL posters on this site should feel they can disagree with anything I post, from the rankings to may day to day posts WITHOUT feeling that I can't handle the criticism - I have, I can, and I will ... however keep the disagreements to the facts ... I hope trojandave and biggdowgg both stay on SEOPS! they have been and are outstanding posters on this site ...
****** Am I bias? if anyone has followed SEOPS over the years - as 93bulldog - pointed out I favor and give a lot of weight to TEAMS who are led by the outstanding coaches, those who do it right ON the court, those who have built THE outstanding programs/systems in SEO ... yes they don't drop as fast down the rankings - usually they play the better non-conference schedules to challenge their teams ... Warren - the BBB moved automatically into the top 8 with the return of pg Seth Dennis , size 6-5, 6-5, 6-5 across the front along with Seth Dennis, he allows those bigs to BE bigs! they have to create off the dribble they can NOW go up with the ball and BE 6-5 at the rim - throw in the Coach Maddox taught defense, the transition scoring is back with the Dennis quickness on the perimeter again ... yep the Maddox's, the Stiverson's, the Hoops', the Caldwells,the Morrow's, the Davis's, the Speed's, the Coach Eversole's, the Coach Robertson's, the Coach Norm's, Coach Huffer's, Coach Combs's of SEO will get love from the rankings until they don't due to what takes place on the court ...
******* WE need to get this back to HOOPS ! WE need to inform each other about the teams we support so WE ALL get a feel for the hoops in SEO this season as it IS not a "normal" season ... time to shake hands and NOT come out fighting ... support the players, the coaches, the TEAMS - all teams in SEO and pray we can get in a full season and post season ...
... post on !!!
