Yep...I've been to seen Hanover a few times, as a friend's younger brother played up there. Madison is a beautful town.

The Green Tree Mall.....boy that was the hangout back in the day. Now, I rarely step foot in that place. LOL [Reply]

My hometown Brevard Community College used to be sick back in the late 90s. We won the state championship behind Joe Gordon (U of Miami) and Norman Cain.

Since I don't attend CC or live near one, I haven't really followed Juco in a while.

On a side note, coaching Juco basketball has to be the hardest thing in the world. You only get players for two years and almost all of them have academic and/or disciplinary issues. [Reply]

We do it real big down here for jucos.

Wow...where in Florida are you? I went to Okaloosa Walton for a few years...they have a great program and every time I'm home I check out a game. For those ragging JUCO, at the highest JUCO level you're basically watching D1 talent without the grades. I remember a few years ago OW's entire team ended up at D1 schools and one of their guys still plays for the Globetrotters. In fact, one of their players was a Celtics 1st round pick a few years back. [Reply]

Yep, no doubt some excellent talent at this level. And I'm from Niceville and go to OWC. I'm hoping to play for them next year, lol that's gonna be difficult. [Reply]

That's awesome...I grew up in Niceville as well (folks still live in Valparaiso). I went to OW from '96-'98. Coach Stewart is a great coach and an even better guy. [Reply]

That's right. That's the dude I would always draft in NBA 2k2 or 2k3. He would turn out to be a beast in those games. [Reply]
