No sweat. I feel like the people with bball experience understand it. But the non bball men are a bit overconfident.

I'm one of those men. I'm not trying to be overconfident, but it seems pretty obvious that there is at least, on average, two teams from each state that could win. Some states may not have that, others will certainly have more.

Well, I was throwing you in the bball men, meaning even if you didn't play you have a respectable knowledge of the game. I was aiming that more @ the fb forum "girls suck" posts on some of the prior pages.

I think the claims that a HS team could beat UCONN might be a stretch. Unless, of course, we are talkin ab a D1 factory like Oak Hill, or the other preps.

Any team that played AA or AAA in Murfreesboro could beat them handedly.

White Station, Melrose, Bolivar, or Liberty would beat them as bad as they chose to.

Maya Moore is a tremendous female athlete. Tremendous! And with that said she would have no prayer of guarding Joe Jackson or Chris Jones.

Not a stretch at all. An above average HS basketball team beats a WNBA team every day of the week.

I shouldlve clarified that I meant any hs team. Id say there are 100 or so boys HS teams in the coutry that could beat UCONN. Bball IQ and experience are worth something.

I honestly have no idea. A lot of people here are sharing stories that make me think Skylar would beat her but then I have to remember that she's pretty good at what she does and he's not.

They play two different styles of game. Women's basketball is just different because they don't have the athleticism of the men. That's what Naismith originally intended the game to be.

But sexism against women and putting them down for not being able to play a men's game is just stupid. I don't know why any man feels the need to put down people who he feels are beneath him in every way. It's cowardly.

Equally ignorant is to say skylars not good at what he does. There are how many hs hoopers?? And how many D1 players? And he's in the SEC, one of the elite conferences. I'd say he's in the 90+ percentile of "what he does"( my numnbers are very rough "guesstimates")

I don't think he's that high. His proximity helped immensely. Put SM in a major US city (heck even put him in Memphis) and I don't believe he's playing in a BCS conf. He wouldn't have been if UT didn't take him

Ok so for the sake of argument put him @ one of the MMajors that WERE gonna take him. What's he in now? The 87th percentile. Moot point.

I know his former AAU coach and value his opinion (even though he's a UK fan) and he's told me stories of Skylar that solidify my belief that the kid can ball. I remember another UT shooter that was passed on by a lot of big name programs. Kid from Maysville, can't think of his name at the moment........

Skylar isn't in Lofton's league. UT offered Lofton a scholly as did a lot of D1 schools. McBee's best offer came from Marshall.

When compared to men, women can't jump or move from side to side as fast. I think its hilarious to think that she would dunk on him. The only way she "dunks," and I use that term loosely because pushing the ball over the rim and then grabbing it with your finger tips is questionable about it being an actual dunk, is if she gets all of her steps right in the open floor. Unless Skylar falls down, she isn't going to be "dunking" at all. She won't even be able to block his shot.

You think Candace Parker can play for Marshall? Or, for that matter, any of the DI, DII, etc., Men's teams?

No offense to the OP, but if I'm not mistaken the guys beat the Lady Vols in practice all of the time, so isn't it sort of a moot point?

Time will tell. Not saying hell break CL's records or anything, but some ppl lack the knowledge to offer a respectable scouting report on SM and it drives me nuts. BTW, Marshall is "D1"

This is hilarious..Do any of you watch womens basketball? The mundane in Men's high school basketball is spectacular at any level of women's hoops. The speed is inferior the strenth and athleticism are unbelievably inferior. Not even close. The majority of high school teams would smack UCONN.
