Diwun Black leads team to state hoops title with 35 points, 10 rebounds

Why are we wasting him on football?

Screw Bball, he needs all his focus on Football, plus he's an excellent recuiter as well.

Thought he already qualified?

He cant qualify until he graduates but I think his grades are high enough they felt comfortable giving him the scholly.

I will say, I wish he were killing it in the weight room instead of the bouncy ball court. We are going to need him to beef up and play out of position due to terrible LB recruiting.

Can't we let one young man decide if he wants to play both sports?
Although, I really don't want White to influence him one iota. So, scratch that.

Osceola Coach Nate Alexander knows how Gene Chizik felt...

Can we? Sure. But he needs to put on 25 pounds and it's impossible to do running up and down the court.

Moving this athlete to inside LB is criminal. That is not where he belongs. If they try to do it, he should leave.

SOMEONE has to play ILB. It isnt going to be Diabete, Bogle or Summerall. We were told the didnt recruit ILBs bc Black was the man.

He looks like a safety to me, but we dont play 210lb safeties it seems and only look for a third CB to play "star" in the box.

Hell, Black is heavier than three of the DE/Rush/flyweight OLBs we signed. Maybe we're going to move him to defensive tackle.

He looks like a safety because he is a safety. He is not heavier than the DEs because he is heavy; he is heavier because they are light. An all American safety is more useful than a mediocre ILB. We have plenty of DEs. We can spare one.

Well..... I dont disagree, but we didnt sign inside LBs, again. Im not the one making the plans here.

The next highest scorer on Black’s team had 3 points.

So you're saying Diwun won a state championship.

He is just what we need at ILB, a guy that can go sideline to sideline. Georgia knew they could beat us to the edge anytime they wanted. That wouldn't happen with Black, if he has the instincts.

Anyone can beat us to the edge because our ends are pass rush specialist who can't set the edge.

That is by design. We value only blitzing/pass rushing.

Mullens has a plan and Savage will do his thing. Fear not gnashing of teeth and wringing of hands people. We will be a good team next year and Katy bar the door the next.

I heard his brother Ditwo black is even better

 

[NavetG8r]

Makes me have tingles just thinking about seeing him in the O&B.

Just a "little" tingle in the pants?

True, but a string of teammates scored 3 & 2. Didn't see the game, but probably Diwun's teammates were hitting poor percentages. So he took over the shooting, the scoring. Phenomenal achievement. Reliable star effort - should transfer over to football.

Screw football. Our Basketball team needs some muscle, stat. Not to mention clutch finishing power. Football will be fine without him.
