I grew up with a lot of those kids' older brothers and sisters. People play a lot of basketball in the area and Quincy Lewis really maximizes the talent he has. There have a been a couple of kids who have moved into the area specifically to play for Lone Peak over the past couple years (Mika and a kid that's going to be a junior next year) but the talent is largely homegrown. Having played at the open gyms in the past, Lewis has a lot of talent to choose from.
regardless tho much respect to these dudes they can definitely hoop and I hope they make noise for byu next year. definitely one of the crazier things ive seen in high school basketball in a long time
They were not recruited at all. They are all 3 from Highland/Alpine Utah. They are all mormons as well. They've been playing together since they were kids, that explains their chemistry. As a BYU fan, I cannot wait until they are playing for us, we will be great.
Yea Hargrave military. Not sure whats up with them these days but I scrimmaged them when i was a freshmn in college n they were the most athletic team I've evr seen by far. We were a solid D3 team n they destroyed us. So Im not saying them right now specifically but teams that r built like they were back then with the 5th yr post grads and recruited players. so Oak Hill (not sure if they're still like they were when I was in HS when Carmello was there), Dematha, Brewster n Tilton academy in NE.
Tallerballer618 - yea I looked at their schedule and see they beat some teams from east and west coast. Not sure how good any of those prep schools were that they played tho. Like I said its be hard to imagine them beating oak hill, Hargrove, Brewster,etc
They did crush Chester tho.. They should of scheduled oak hill or Finley prep to solidify their season so they could remove all doubt. But do u know anything about this school? Looks like they come from a small ass town . Are they mormons? Do they recruit players on the DL? I don't really get it it's one of the craziest things I've seen in high school basketball
Not really, Andrew. BYU is obviously the best college team in the state this year. Any BYU fan wouldn't rather have Emery at point than Carlino. Better defender, better shooter, better passer....right now. Mika is aleady bigger than Davies and has better post moves and is more explosive. If they were at BYU right now, only Haws might not be starting. If you put the LP players at BYU right now the starting lineup would be, in my opinion 1)Emery 2)Tyler Haws 3) TJ Haws 4) Davies 5) Mika
Man there's no way in hell this team could beat oak hill, Huntington prep, occonel, dematha, Hargrave, Brewster academy, tilton, etc etc etc.. How could anyone possibly rank them #1 in the nation when they play a bunch of bum ass public schools in Utah? I'm white but this is a classic case of white media wanting an all white team to be the best team in the country because it's a cool story. DefI itly a good team but not nearly the hype

been following basketball all year. my opinion. it is lone peak or montverde academy.

look in the national pwoer rankings half of their schedual is invitaionals all around the country and they win there as well.
They beat the #13 ranked team in the country, Proviso East, by 40 points. They are legit.
I agree
that same team (montverde academy beat long beachy poly by more and also beat whitney young in the same tournament. they also beat simeon.
They did crush Chester tho.. They should of scheduled oak hill or Finley prep to solidify their season so they could remove all doubt. But do u know anything about this school?

I personally think they recruit but its not proven and yes all of them are Mormon I go to there rival school!

Findley prep.
Sandwich high is way better
lone peak and montverde academy are the best two teams.
