Pugh has 4-5 D2 verbals. Mangas has nothing. It doesn’t surprise me. My son and I were talking and he is the most unimpressive 30 point average kid we’ve seen. I know I’ll take flack for that comment. He was the D2 POY last year with zero offers so I’m not completely crazy. Half his points come from leaking out on defense when the shot goes up and receiving a baseball pass from a teammate. Now, I’m not faulting him, his coach, or the team. If nobody is going to take it away keep ringing that bell. He did hit a couple of threes when open and he pinned a couple of defenders in the post (he won’t get those points in college at his height). He’s a really good high school player, but too short for a 4 or 5 in college and not athletic enough for a 2 or 3. Kinda like Tim Tebow and the NFL. "Pugh has 4-5 verbals". Illegal and impossible for any athlete. Can have multiple offers, but only allowed to "verbal" to ONE college at a time. I’m not saying he’s given a verbal commitment. My son was looking on one of the recruiting websites and it said Pugh had four or five verbal offers. The other kid had none listed.

Pugh has 4-5 scholarship offers, not verbal offers. Only an athlete can give a verbal, which is not a commitment.

There are verbal and written offers. The former is just not binding and the later is.
I misspoke because the site is verbalcommits.com.

Verbal offers happen all the time. MANY are given. The "written offer" you speak of is only sent to a recruit for him to sign and fax to the college of his choice during a 5 week period from middle of April to the middle of May on signing day. Due to the pandemic it was extended to August this year. IF a player has not verbally committed to a College, it is unlikely he will receive a written offer.

Mangus if desired will get a free education in the big picture isn’t that what matters? I get a kick out of the rest of the banter who’s better who has offers from where... just doesn’t matter find a school that is a fit athletically and academically on move on to the next phase of life...

Fact. People who evaluate talent for a living say 5 to 1 Pugh is more equipped for the next level than Mangas or Pugh wouldn’t have five times as many offers. They clearly see some of the same things that others posting on here and I saw. Everyone on here is entitled to their opinion, but those guys are paid for theirs. Having a job each year requires that they be pretty good at it.

Something they both possess are the ability to finish at the basket. I enjoyed that semi game as much as any HS game I’ve seen in a long time. Really high energy game with great ball movement. Shame someone had to lose. Shawnee was tough all around not so much because of Mangas alone, but just their teamwork / discipline really wears you out.

Shelby v Shawnee should be a good game. The question is has the MOAC prepared SHS for Shawnee? Can Shelby match the Shawnee intensity of the Defensive end. Which big time player which each has owns the last 3 minutes Your obsession with strength of schedule is borderline insane. Shawnee is really good because they have one of the best players in Ohio. Not because of their schedule This post is pretty much spot on the WBL prepared them to dispatch of Akron Buchtel today and score 13 unanswered in the 4th to dispatch of Shelby earlier this week. Scores don’t lie ...

Sure, even though Buchtel district was stronger.
Has anyone mentioned the fact Shawnee is like 10 minutes from Elida and played 2 games there this year and every other year plays 3 compared to Shelby and Buchtel? Numbers don’t lie

I think that the Regionals will not be at Elida next year, typically this is at BGSU and with the state saving money this year they weren't going to play at a College. Now this could be a new trend, but only time will tell. If the state continues to play at a high school if all depends on the size and if the school would be willing to host.

Numbers don’t lie WBL/MAC schools have a history of success and don't care who the opponent is or where it is. That's why our area teams, in part, aren't as successful. It's in the heads of many about what's not presumed fair Btw, in 2014, how did it work out for defending Champs who returned 4 starters, and played in their backyard? Norwalk didn't care. The mindset was to be unruly houseguests. Drink all their soda, leave the cans all over the floor, and trash the furniture in the process.

I’m not surprised that Shawnee beating Buchtel like they did. I watched Buchtel on video and was not overly impressed . They stood around and they didn’t seem to have a lot of structure. They were athletic, but it looked like a good college intramural team.
Shelby was better than a lot of teams I have seen at State. They were up against a very good all around team in Shawnee.

Shelby was very good they just faced an opponent in LS that was disciplined, tested and experienced. They were right there for 3 plus Qtrs good area team tough out...

Shelby was good but they lost in Regional Semifinals. Good teams lose in regionals every year.

Shawnee has the kind of team built for a deep tournament run. The further you go the more the official's let 'em play. They have three 6-4 6-5 physical athletes that played with a purpose.

Excluding Shawnee and OG the WBL was down this year. Also they only play a single round-robin in the WBL B.

No C.??
NOT funny..."cover" in this case is a very poor choice of words. OR it was meant as an insult, knowing bighose is not one who "covers" leagues, as a sports journalist would.
