Is Brady Heslip a 5th year or is he just finshing 12th grade.

He's 1990 and just did his 5th year. He went to prep last fall in Texas but came back after a few months to play at his Burlington high school.
Interesting though....he committed to Guelph early in April. They made a big announcement and everything but now it looks like he's getting some looks from some big programs and will be backing out of Guelph.
Thing is that I think these offers are for 2010. Can you still go to prep for a 6th year of high school?

I think the most evenly matched opponents on the court will be Mikial McIntosh and Mikial McIntosh.

are they family?

lol @ "are they family?"

Wow, so many missing players that put in work this year that aren'nt on the roster..iunno how a kid who just graduated elementary is playin, is dat even legal loolll Andrew is nice tho..Damal got selected r u guys serious?

All GrassrootsPlayers

How did the game go? Anyone have stats or some game insight?

WH87,

Your post is a day early. You can still check it out yourself.

My bad. I woke up this morning & thought it was Friday. I guess that's what happens when you're on summer Vakay.

It was pretty much a GrassRoots affair. TT went to WORK! Made meat of everyone and didn't try. Cory Joseph is on another level.

Don't even try what Jus Fly did - you will get HURT!!!! The NBA dunk contest can take lessons from this kid. Everything you've ever seen on UTube about the guys does not du him justice. The man can literally "FLY"!. Unfortunately, he can't play basketball.

are there any results up yet??

I don't think anyone cared. It was something like the NBA all-star game. Do you really care who wins or who scores how much?

How did Mr Wiggins do?

He wasn't there.
