estan tyler is not mvp for st.paul city confrence
ReplyDeletei would really like to know how you can give the conference MVP of the Missota to Joel Hergott? This is very very hard for me to comprehend.
ReplyDeleteHergott was the do everything guy for the top team in the league. I love Danny Geiger but I can't give MVP to a player on 4th place team. I'm open to who you would have picked.
ReplyDeleteThe Hutchinson coach deserves the coach of the year hands down, major error when I wrote that.
I would have picked Geiger. I understand that he is on the fourth place team, but he was the do everything player for that team he averaged 20 a game compared to Hergotts 13. Geiger had the ability to take over games, Hergott on the other hand did not. Ive seen Hergott play many times and both times he played Geigers team( New Prague) he had 4 and 5 points respectively. That doesnt say much to me. Maybe there is other criteria that I am unaware of but Geiger seemed to have still scored and done other things even when he was constantly face guarded or double teamed.Hergott is a good player but I dont think he is at the level Geiger is. Other players around the league such as Frechette or Hjelter could have been also at the top of this discussion. I agree with the Hutchinson coach, he did a great job.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you giving bryale winters breakout player of the year in st.paul conference based on?
ReplyDeleteNobody knows who Winters is and he comes out and leads the league in scoring for a team that went from 2 wins to 14 wins.
ReplyDeleteHave You Or Any Of Your Associates Seen Him Play??? Im Really Interested In Him??? I Heard He Hasnt Garnered Any Attention From Any Schools (D1,D2,D3 JUCO Etc..)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen him play in person. But I wouldn't be surprised if he turns out to have some nice numbers for somebody like a Vermillion, Anoka-Ramsey etc.
