Unless something comes up that fits the kids interest(which I hope he gets the offer he’s looking for) it seems he will end up at a prep school. Which is not a bad decision at all for Tahj, hopefully people can respect that if it is his final choice.

I know Ben is in finance/accounting and his career is going well. Jeff I’m not sure there was talk of playing oversees not sure. Both pretty good kids. Jeff isn't in D-League? Not on any active roster

Reports I'm hearing on Tahj is high major college or go to a d1 and start as freshman or prep school no chance of attending d2 not even entertaining d2 colleges Are you saying he is going to a prep school since he currently has no offers. Do they give D1 offers which include a starting position for freshman?

I'm not Tahj Staveskie I stated these are reports I'm hearing coming from people close too Tahj that he may attend a prep school nothing is final regarding his situation I just heard he is not going d2 or entertaining d2 schools.. As far as starting as a freshman I'm pretty sure nothing is guaranteed but a situation where there is an opportunity for him too start bc the point guard position is open bc senior who held position graduated.

Now the kid has "people" who are giving out "reports"? Has his agent had a press conference yet? Sounds like he may be getting some bad advice to completely blow off good college interest.

I will never say a kid can not make a D-1 team,,, have proven that otherwise, but don't ever turn your back on someone who is willing to offer you .. And i heard about the prep school.. which if so can probably forget any chance of D-1 ..

If so he's not much of a coach. Apparently someone told him he could start as a freshman, based on what rywill said. IF one can believe most of what rywill says.

Heck, he'd probably walk on at a DI, sit the bench and get no money for an education. Instead of having most of his education paid for at a DII and be a starter. Just to say "I played DI". OH, there have been guys that have gone to a DII school and transferred UP to DI after making a name at the DII level. Misguided OR misguided guidance, by someone who wants to say I was the one that helped..."I got him to DI".

I think is laughable some of you comment on another kids career.. How are you gonna tell a kid he is getting bad advice because you feel it's in his best interest too settle for a certain school because it's your belief or opinion.. You don't know his goals or dreams or the work he put in so who am I or another too say that a kid should or should not follow his dreams.. We would never have had Bill Gates or Mark Zuuckerburger or any great inventor or artist.. Worry about your own life than whether a kid decides which career path or what he wants to do with his life.. I wish the best for Tahj and I hope he gets out his career what he wants.. The kid has the ability from what I have seen him put on display.. High major ability with his shooting ability and ability too handle the ball well in transition along with operate out of pick and roll.. He has shown me he has the ability too end up in a major power conference

"Career"?? Playing DI basketball is a "career"??
Tahj would be MUCH better off and make A LOT more money becoming an entrepreneur like Bill Gates, than listening to someone who's telling him he's the next Allen Iverson.

If he's being greedy, And only wants a D 1 shot, Nothing less, Good luck with that thinking. With his tattoos, He could work for Chipotle, Being he may not be in school. Mark May continuing to be the scum of Huron, OH. Representing everything that every neighboring town resents about The Great Lake Place. Insinuating he is lessor than your s.hit bag son because he tattoos. It’s 2020 pal. Tattoos are accepted in every work place imaginable. I wish this young man much success and and not to settle for less than he believes he deserves. All you need is a shot to prove you can play with the big dogs. Take former Tiger legend Jah Leh for example.. sat out every single year due to mistakes made off the floor. Gets his head on straight, and is now the leading scorer for the Division 1 Iona Gaels. Also, the Tigers look spectacular this year. This is the best team Huron has had in about 5 years. I look for this team to make win the conference and the district Title (which i (and only i) predicted before the season) and cap off this season with a State Title. Go Tigers

Nobody is comparing Tahj too Bill Gates do I have too break this down in layman terms Bill Gates was an analogy.. Again the point was people told Bill Gates he was crazy for pursuing his dreams.. But he believed in himself stayed persistent the rest is history.. Tahj has a goal if he wants too pursue and go for his goal who are you too say want he should do or he is getting bad advice you act like what he is doing is criminal regardless basketball is not life or death if his decision doesn't pan out too his liking he is a smart kid he can do or her things.. D2 will always be there if a kid wants too pursue something bigger or feels he can play at and higher level so be it.. It's funny how you all think it's so far fetched for him too play d1 like it's a pipe dream.. Nick dials played d1 did you have the same sentiments Jimmy Langhusrt Jeff Thomas just some recent SBC NOL players who went d1.. Sandusky has produced several D1 and college players so it's not out the norm for him too go d1.. Also Tahj has outperformed many d1 guards in his class from various sources I can be a testament I seem the kid outplay several d1 guards some high major some mid major.. The kid is just behind the eight ball with exposure but that doesn't mean he is not good enough but everyone is titled to there opinion just be respectful towards the kid and we will see how it plays out

Did he play them in his back yard? No body is saying he is not good. The kid is very good. But to that good and not have any offers at this point is head scratching. Maybe if he would open the door to the good D2 schools and get those coaches talking the word would spread. That was a part of the process for 3 of the kids you names earlier. They were talking to D2 schools and coaches and word got out.

D-1 is basically done with the class of 2020 and almost done with 2021.. they will be out of scholarships for the next two years.. So, if he wants to play, needs to be the aggressor .. nothing at all is wrong with a good D-2.. lets face it once his 4 years are done he is done playing USA brand basketball, might find a team over seas.. but he has 4 more years.. the degree is far more important than playing.. but if he wants to play.. he would be foolish to shut the door on an offer from a D-2..

Again all this Tahj Staveskie talk about what level he can play on is laughable first off yes everyone is entitled too there own opinion but the disrespect the kid receives on this forum is mind boggling.. Tahj is still in the midst of his season so how can you predict where he is going too end up.. I guess most of you are Nostradamus bc Tahj is not 35 where is career is solidfied and wrapped up.. His playing career has just begun so again we will see where the kid ends up I hope you all keep that same energy when he does decide where he is going I believe you said he could play Big 10 or Big East so dont blame others on here for posting where you think he can play when your casting a HUGE assertion of Power 5 conferences. Makes you look silly

First off who is being a realist everyone on her has an opinion and speculation about a kid future like you guy's are Nostradamus..Then you state I'm blaming his high school coach as too the reason Tahj is not committed or has any d1 offers.. Then @streaknation you mention who Tahj workouts with as implying too myself that's the only reason I'm making statement about whether Tahj can play d1.. your statement seems a little personal in my opinion.. 2nd I don't respect any of tou guy's opinions regarding college basketball first off bc none of you reputable sources too evaluate whether or whether not a kid can play d1 ball.. I have talked too creditable sources.. for all you guys that what too speculate ask Sonny Johnson Chet Mason Quincy Simpson Sean Flannery.. Jerry Watson Mike Duncan Dru Joyce sr these are all creditable sources who know how too evaluate high school talent if every last one of them state Tahj Staveskie is a d1 kid I think I have some creditable validation too back up my statements I'm not just talking off personal feelings watch the footage it doesnt lie if you stack him up with other d1 guards he checks the boxes.. when people mention height as and factor I can't even take tour evaluation serious bc there are so many players playing major d1 basketball around the 5-10 6-0 range.. There are players in the NBA 6-0 6-1 kemba walker trae young Jj barea DJ Augustin carson Edwards tremont waters quin cook chris Paul Dennis Schroeder Jeff Teague Isaiah Thomas Ish Smith shabazz Napier Pat Beverley Frank Mason Kyle Lowry Patty Mills and there are a hoist of others I just named a few playing at the highest level at 6-0 6-1 range.. And you guys give this notion Tahj is too small at 6-0.. I can't even take you serious as a talent evaluator bc the statistics are saying 6-0 is a good height too play college level basketball I'm not saying Tahj Staveskie is an NBA player but the statistics show there are numerous players in NBA around that height so that's not out the realm but you say college at his height is not possible okay too me that's saying you can't like holes in his game so you say silly things like that.. Bc I have asked all who oppose Tahj playing d1 on this forum too state something within his game that will hold him back from playing d1 I'm waiting.. Its not just a heigth issue with Tahj. Like I mentioned in my post earlier. To play a D1 guard position, especially at a Big 10 or Big East School at 6'1 or below you have to check the other boxes besides how tall you are. You mention alot of names above, DJ Augustine, Jeff Teague, etc. etc. etc. they all have that other quality besides the lack of size. That explosive first step, uncanny strength to get to the basket in traffic against bigger and stronger guys. Again, Ben Haraway was undersized, Brandon Haraway was undersized, Cameron Kuhn from Vermilion. They were Top 5 players in their schools history and yet they also lacked that other trait to help at the D1 level.

Out of curiosity, what are Ben and Jeff doing now? Ben graduated from Ashland University with an undergraduate degree in accounting ans also received his MBA. He is working at Ernst & Young in downtown Columbus. Jeff graduated from Georgia State, got a tryout with the G-League team from Milwaukee and is now playing professional basketball in Chile.

94hoops okay finally a real hoop perspective.. You mentioned Jeff Teague and DJ Austin all have uncanny ability where they do something exceptional that's why they are in the NBA nobody on here is saying Tahj is going to nba I'm not making a comparison there.. my comparison too all those guards was there height.. my point was stop with this notion height is a factor why he can't go major d1.. my point there are major d1 guards at Tahj height all over the country there are guards on the NBA Tahj height So if guards can play in NBA at 6-0 why don't you think he can play high major at that size.. and again if he doesn't get the looks he want he can always go prep too reach his goals.. I want too know 94hoops what do you see Tahj game where he can't play high major.. Tahj has had in game dunks this season at his size that shows me his legs are explosive I have seen plenty footage of him finishing at the rim left or right hand.. He has shown me he can beat his man off dribble one on one.. He has also showed me the ability too play make for others.. and his shooting ability with range has been on display all season so can you break down for me what you see in his game that will prevent him from playing high major ball

And you mention cam Kuhn Ben and Brandon.. I think different things in Tahj game he does better than all 3.. I most def think Brandon had the ability too play d1 he settled for Ashland for whatever reason but he had the size and athleticism too play d1 ball I think a more consistent shot off the dribble and better play out the screen and roll he could have went high major.. But obviously that was not his goal and he is happy with his choice and having a solid career at Ashland.. Ben had the size too play D1 and command of a true point guard I just feel in 2020 you have too be able too score the ball at the guard position Ben didn't show enough scoring and shooting off the dribble along with break down dribble moves.. He wasn't as athletic as his brother that's why he needed more perimeter consistent shooting along with off the dribble moves.. Cam Kuhn was a solid player the lesser of the 3.. I don't feel can Kuhn at his size was a legit pint guard he could score solid but was not athletic enough too play d1.. Tahj has shown me out of those players you mentioned the ability too create his own shot consistently along with shooting range on his jumper off the dribble along with the ability too get to the basket and finish.. Those 3 didn't show me that consistently when I evaluated them
