**2016 Capital City League Thread**

I think I'd be can continue working on muscle this year, and then stick to it at ISU, he can have a pretty breakout year next year. Still has some work to put in though.

I agree he still has some work to do and he is on the verge of breaking out but he will get his opportunities this year. We'll need that length at times. I love his energy and attitude out there on the floor. Always goes up strong with the intent to dunk. 15 to 20 more pounds of muscle and explosion he will be a force.
 
Saw some highlights from tonight already. I think Simeon Carter is so close to being a big time player. You can't teach that length. A little more strength, experience and with that will come more coordination and quicker feet I think he will turn the corner. Really wish he would've red shirted last year

From mine or did someone else already post some? Curious to see theirs if you're not referring to the ones I posted.

Here's just a few Jakolby highlights. He was banged up tonight and tried playing through a minor injury near his wrist/hand area. It affected his shooting tonight. Also didn't play the last 10 minutes or so. Nothing to worry about, just needs some time to get it right. I think it's possibly a HS injury that came back. He'll be good to go soon. https://twitter.com/cade4isu/status/754893854378041344

That is it for 2016. Thanks everyone for taking the time to watch my highlights. I'll be posting highlights again for next year. It'll be weird with no Monte/Burton/Bowie/Holden/Thomas and Naz. That's the bad news. The good news is there should be plenty of new faces to see.

Now the countdown for Hilton Madness and the season begins.

Dayum! Merrill Holden was throwing it down with authority!
He's a freak athlete. He didn't get on the best team for his skill set. The PG on his team was more of a scoring guard. I am really excited to see how he looks with Monte. There's going to be some highlight reel alley oops this year between those two.

Hoks didn't have to face Burton last year. This year they'll get Burton, Holden, and Young. We'll see if they have enough muscle inside to contest those 3.
 
:cry::cry::cry:If Jess Settles got 8 years, why not Woody?

Anxious to see more of Holden on traditional post moves, most CCL are dunks or jumpers.

From what I saw this CCL season, I think it'll be more dunks and jumpers in the regular season too. Seems to be way smoother on those than he is with his back to the basket.
 
I know that is meant to be funny, as a young player he sure did have a great game against the National Champion. He has the ability to be a huge frustrating thorn in our side.



He was only in the game because they were being bum rushed.....

the national champion had ceased to care.

They can have Baer. If he's your #2 guy you have a pretty low ceiling.

I'm pretty sure Monte gave Matt a little nut tap in Matt's highlight video there.

I'm no professional basketball strategist, but I feel like it's important ISU forces opponents to put a smaller guard on Burton. He can fight his way around the block, but he excels at abusing people from the top of the key. Burton reminds me a bit of Deandre Kane when he bulls his way through the lane.
 
Little birdy is telling me that Prohm isn't a fan and this will only be twice a week this year.
