Good read. Interesting that he was not offered by the new IU staff

Good. Now he can use it as motivation.

hope there will be highlights.

You don't get lucky 17 times. When you grab that many boards you are busting your butt.

Scott Burgess with Prep Hoops also lauded Musa for his passing in the same game, saying his interior passing is underrated, that he makes several good drive & dish plays per game for layups.

That sounds a lot like David Lighty.

 

[Bill Lucas]

I'm surprised he's still playing competitively. It would seem prudent to shut it down at this point.

 

[greyscarlet]

Get better every day

Risking injury. We always shut our kids down if they were seniors and they got their scholarship. Our teams were 16U and 17U so the graduated seniors on the roster were rare.

 

[HabaneroBuck]

I'm of the opinion that you are just as likely to injure yourself in practice for basketball as you are in a game, so I have no problem with him getting some game play in before he comes to Columbus. AAU, in general, is played like a glorified practice with referees.

2017 NEXT LEVEL INVITATIONAL DAY 3 RECAP - PART 2

Musa Jallow – 2018 – G/F – Team Blaze Select

Jallow dropped 19 points and 17 boards in the 17U title game. The future Ohio State Buckeye impressed with his ability to time shots off the glass and put them home with authority, including a one-hand put back dunk. A team-first worker, Jallow doesn’t care about his own stat line, but he packs the scorebook anyway because he can play so many different positions and doesn’t have many glaring weaknesses. A talented, three-level scorer, Jallow can size his man up and excel with whatever his defender gives him. He was fantastic down the stretch as Team Blaze erased a late deficit to steal a win in overtime over Mac Irvin Fire.

2017 NEXT LEVEL INVITATIONAL DAY 2 RECAP - PART 1

Musa Jallow – 2018 – G/F – Team Blaze

Team Blaze hung on for a tight victory against RL9 and it was Jallow’s clutch play that kept them in front. The Ohio State commit had a momentum-swinging dunk plus the foul and a huge block that kept what would have been a key bucket off the board. At 6-foot-6, Jallow is such a handful with his versatility, explosiveness, shooting ability, and motor. There might not be any one area he’s elite in, but Jallow just does everything well with few weaknesses and his ability to play or defend four positions give his team such value. Jallow scored 15 points in the morning victory.

Dude sounds like what could be called a "grinder". OSU certainly has been missing one of those for a while, Tate being the closest.

I know what you're saying but if Tate isn't a "grinder" , IDK who is.

Yes. Where does that thought process stop? HS/AAU to college? Middle school/club to hs /aau? Rec to middle school/club?

There is always a next level or room for improvement.

I get you can over do it physically and mentally but to pause for the sake of a next level is nonsensical. I'll also give on the pending NBA/paycheck day.

To get back on topic, here's to Musa earning a high NBA draft pick and more.
