I don't know if this was posted earlier, but this is a thread discussing the big game between Pius and Vincent. It sounds like DG really played well.

It is going to take a few years to rebuild, but it looks like DG will be a good addition to the team.

"Diante Garrett looked amazing. He and Keaton Nankivil must be the frontrunners for State POY. Garrett could get into the lane anytime he wanted. He scored at will. He also had a monster breakaway dunk that brought everyone to their feet. He scored and dished assists at will."

"On the other hand Korie Luscious had a sub-par game. He forced shots, turned the ball over too many times, and didn't seem to have much defensive intensity. His shots were not falling and Garrett D'd him up. He seemed like he lost confidence, too. He had 10 points when i left with 1minute & 30seconds left."

I love what I'm reading, I'm really excited for this kid. 6'5" athletic point guard, can't wait til next year!

And that Korie Locious kid, verbaled to michigan st. (2008), so garret didnt dominate someone thats not any good.

"The play of the game came when Pius guard and Michigan State recruit Korie Lucious turned the ball over, leading to a breakaway tomahawk dunk by Iowa State-bound Diante Garrett with 2 minutes 31 seconds to play. The vicious dunk brought the crowd to its feet, and when the cheering and hooting was done, most of the fans headed for the exit.

"Oh, that felt good," Garrett said. "It was time to get up, (like) LeBron (James)."

Garrett finished with 20 points and four assists."

This is from an article of that game. Gonna love this kid!

He's from Vincent. That pretty much automatically makes him good.

People can talk about how poor our team is now, but McDermott is definitely thinking long term here. With guys like Wes and Cory Johnson, Dunson, Garrett, Brackins, etc. Hell, we even have some bruiser committed and he is merely a HS frosh. The future is bright. With guys like Staiger and Eikmeier I think we will have that sharpshooter needed in GMac's system. Perhaps this will be the 3rd recent Cyclone superteam. Cato/Willoughby, Fizer/Tinsley, Brackins/Garrett?

don't forget Charles Boozer either, he has been coming on lately.

Looks like all four recruits will start next season.

I think the most important question is whether Garrett will be able to solidly control the ball as PG against Big XII level competition. Right now McIntosh and Taylor are not showing that they are capable of that and it is costing us big time. Garrett looks like our best chance to remedy that problem next year.

Dude...I just found that funny. Thanks for the chuckle. It's funny yet it could very well be true.
