Isiah Stewart

[cumbfanatic]

Isiah Stewart will be playing in Cumberland at the Bishop Walsh tournament. Looks like he will be going to Duke next year then the NBA soon after. He hasn't committed yet, its between Duke and Michigan State. He is ranked by many as the #1 forward and the #3 player in the country

LaLumiere plays DeMatha on ESPNU on the 21st. DM is #6 on MaxPreps and #3 in USA Today.

The top rank team in the country and one if the top ranked players in the country playing in Cumberland 3 days in a row is pretty cool

Yes, all the games are at BW

 

[Waggle Pass]

Was there any thought to having at least some of the games at the Bob Kirk arena at AC?

 

[loco09]

Not sure if they considered it or not, I know BW held a practice out there after the tournament was announced. Most likely BW wants to host these games to maximize their profit from it, they would most likely have to pay to rent the AC gym unless something could be worked out. Seating capacity isn't any larger really either.

Sunrise Christian plays McEachern on CBS Sports Network at 10:00 tonight. McEachern is unbeaten and battling with LaLumiere for #1 in the country, so if Sunrise wins they will likely move into the Top 10.

 

[cumbfanatic]

3rd qtr Sunrise up by 10. They look good. McEachern is a 3 point shooting team and they arent hitting 3's. During a time-out the camera and the microphone was in the huddle and all the coach said to the team was come on lets hit the threes... lol

 

[loco09]

The amount of talent that will be here in two weeks is insane. LaLumiere and Sunrise are both loaded and Wasatch is the #8 team in the nation for a reason even though I don't think they have any top 50 kids. Add that to the talent DeMatha and others will bring to the ACIT and Cumberland will be blessed with seeing some of the nation's best basketball without driving more than 15 minutes.

In Overtime, Sunrise was up by 1 with 20 seconds left and #2 ranked McEachern hit a 3 pointer to go up by 2. Sunrise has a big dominant center, but they shot a 3 pointer to win and missed. Sunrise led the entire game until the fourth quarter they will be fun to watch.

 

[loco09]

LaLumiere beat Dematha by 23 73-50 the other night. They cemented their spot as the number 1 team in the country. Will be great having them here in Cumberland next week.

 

[cumbfanatic]

Dematha getting beat like that is crazy. If anyone saw Sunrise they are good enough to beat anyone. This may honestly be the best tournament in the Country. One of the tops for sure

Just saw today that Monumental Sports Net will be streaming the Bob Kirk tournament on their page. Great opportunity for those out of town or for those who can't get to the games. Monumental is the multimedia partner of the Wizards and Capitals and the last year or two have branched out into streaming a lot of high school and some local college games in the DC area.

Isiah Stewart surprisingly picked Washington over Duke, Michigan State, Kentucky. He made the announcement on ESPN, I didn’t see it

He apparently has a long relationship with the UW coach. He said he's going to work on getting the No. 5 recruit to commit to Washington as well.

 

[cumbfanatic]

He is the real deal.
