I like Atkins, but as far as a prospect he is below Whitehead, similar games but not as good. Also, as talked about in this thread with people heading south his family moved to FL but then he came back for his freshman year of HS. I like Prince Ali better, same situation, from the BX but moved to FL when his pops retired. I worked with him back when he was in the youth program of New Heights(him and Atkins were a year apart), Oladipo clone, he just gotta develop a jumper.

Even I'm thinking of moving if the opportunity presents itself. Joe Pope who's the MC at Dyckman, he only stays in the BX for the summer. That dude moved to NC, claims it's the best decision he ever made. Once I have enough money to where I can visit here regularly but live elsewhere, I'm doing it. Given how much I travel I should be doing it now

I dont know anyone who's moved south and regretted it.

My wife's friend just left her job here for a job down in ATL paying her the SAME six figures she was getting here. Moving expenses and the whole nine.
They are going to live on ACRES in a friggin mansion.
my fault, thought you were referring to Ryan. how is Tucker's game, is he just a shooter or does he have handles?

You'll be amazed at the amount of former drug dealers and former thugs who've reinvented themselves and do well down south.
I dont blame them. My man went from being named "Rock-Lord" to working a 9 to 5 down in Florence, SC.

Sure you can, Chicago is putting out D1 players & NBA stars, there's an obvious difference in development and coaching culture.
I don't think the CHSAA is that great anymore, Non-Public league in Jersey had been better than it for a minute, even had a national 1 vs 2 game a few years back. When was the last time a CHSAA team was ranked 1 in the country? Back in the 80s and 90s that was pretty much commonplace.
Just a shooter right now, but he's still extremely young and with how White Plains plays he'll get the ball in his hands more in the future.
This much is true. In HS I was the back-up big playing against Steph and 730 were the guards and SF at my height. At the time their starting big was just shy of 7 feet.
Nah, when you see the insane difference in cost of living you'll get it breh.
And it's not like they're making that much less down south either.

Gauchos is just good for their gym in case it rains. That's something else NYC really lacks. Need way more indoor courts.
Yeah the Jersey league is better. The CHSAA isnt what it once was, but it's still extremely competitive. Christ the King...Loughlin..

a lot of city kids playing up there
in front of the building i grew up we always had a tournament when i was young. it made a little spark and came back 5 years ago but it died again. definitely seeing the shift. when i was too young to remember, my dad says big players used to come by all the time. he said mark jackson was a regular and even chris mullin came by a few times in his st johns days. when it made a spark and came back we had jr smith play there and even chris brown came thru a few times (i know he not in the nba but it was a big deal to people in my hood. ill find the video)
now shyt is dead.

EDIT u can see rihanna at the end too. it was when they first started dating i think.
