well I guess his older teammates are given the minutes, lets wait for a year or 2 then he'll be Melrose's scoring machine.

He will have to step up soon as next year will be his last year of high school eligibility.

Ateneos chance of getting Parks slightly increased or say NU joke

He's already got an offer from UTEP, which makes him a legit mid-major prospect. What he needs next is a good off-season (AAU or U-18) and a solid senior season. Then he can watch the high-major offers pile up.

hope so I would rather see him in a mid major but earning major minutes from his freshie year to main man rather than benching in high majors but in some games he had solid games and even evening his more decorated batch mate for now adonis thomas
the chance is from .0000000001 to .000000000001 a 1000 percent increase

from prepscoop poster:

Coach Johnson is the most Embarrassing coach in Memphis. He has the most talent Since Hamilton. Last night will be my last time going to a Melrose game. I will go back to to my alum Wooddale. He let Chris jones Ruin this team with all that dribbling and crazy shot selection. Last night fans should have asked for their money back. East did nothing to win this. Melrose gave it to them. At one point I saw a 18 point lead. Then he went into stupid coach mode again. Went totally Half court the entire second half. Constantly keeping the ball in jones hands and walking it up the floor. I left with 3 minutes left in the game it was just that bad. I saw the box score that they only scored 2 points in the 4th. I saw Adonis and Nate's Dad on the front row about to have a heart attack. I talked to someone close to the situation and they said He blamed the loss on everyone but himself. The one thing that stood out is the degrading of bobby parks. I sat behind the Melrose bench about 3 rows up and he called parks over to the bench and was just going off and calling him out with the asst coaches. Looking all crazy with that bozo neck tie he had on. The Kid put his head down and went back on the floor did not even score. Shameful. I thought for a minute it was Robert Newman coaching. They go from ranked in the nation to 4th in 16 - AAA. I don’t like calling coaches out or second guessing them but come on now. U guys can support him all u want but at the end of the night the proof is in the pudding. U have 7 D1 players. Just venting guys because I jumped on this band wagon 2 years ago and thought this would be the next Hamilton. If they don’t get it together quick they will be the laughing stock of Memphis basketball for years to come. Thanks to coach Johnson.

kinda ot but with what i saw in this vid.. chris jones really dominates almost the whole shot clock with all of his dribbling antics... not much movement.. no play at all.. kinda sad..

I am not really keen on Bobby Parks Jr. His high stats is not so impressive as compared to Danny Seigle when the latter was in HS hoops. . .

At this stage of Bobby Jr.'s age, Danny Seigle has already achieved Pennsylvania All-State First Team Player. . .

I really doubt he got what I call an NBA touch based on his current performances in HS. . . I have not written off his chances but the way I see it, it's a long shot for him to play in NBA as what his fans in this forum envisioned him to be. . .

Another player whose credential are one of the favorites to hype by most fans here is Christian Standhardinger. . He is not impressive either. . . His current stats with the bottom ranked Nebraska in Big 12 Conference: 6.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 9 games, was benched in 16 games.


I still believe that Danny Seigle is the most talented Filipino-American ever to play in RP based on NCAA Div I profiling. . .He posted 18.6 points, 5.9 rebounds, 1.4 assist and 1.0 steal in 55 games during his stint as mainstay with Wagner Seahawks in 1996 - 1998. .

christian is benched honestly but his team mates also struggles they 1-9 in big 12 after feb 10 he is not benched in majority of the 16 games as he was serving his penalty for playing in a league where it accepts former pro players(as we can say semi pro). Yes the Danny Seigle is the most talented player come from philsb in a long time but its also the most nakakapanghinayang because of injuries

Actually Ray Parks played well in this game. We cannot see it in the box score but his defense, rebounding & pushing the ball was great and they played totally team effort.

I, suddenly, got curious. Which is historically stronger in terms of highschool basketball, Tennessee or Pennsylvania?..pardon me for the spellings if I got them wrong..

From the little I know, I think Ray Jr is a hustle player who can score. He can defend as well. While Danny is a scorer who can..oh never mind...that's their difference..And we all know where defense can take players or teams..

I respect your opinion though..It's just that I prefer believing Ray can take his game somewhere higher than the PBA than not believing at all..

Marshall (19-7) won over Tulsa (19-7) earlier, 64-58. Chris Lutz had 15 points on 3-6 FG shooting (1-4 3PT) and 8-11 FTs made. He also had two rebounds and two assists.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - Hassan Whiteside poured in a team-high 17 points and Tyler Wilkerson tallied his 16th career double-double to lead the Marshall University men's basketball team past Tulsa, 64-58, in Conference USA action on Feb. 17 at the Cam Henderson Center.

Whiteside made 5-of-11 shots from the field, added nine rebounds and four blocked shots to his stat line. Wilkerson tallied 10 points and 10 rebounds, while Chris Lutz (15) and Damier Pitts (13) each scored in double figures to propel the Herd to 19-7 overall and 7-4 in conference play. Tulsa (19-7, 8-4 C-USA) received a 22-point performance from Ben Uzoh and 13 points and 15 rebounds from Jerome Jordan in the loss.

"It was a team victory for us tonight, but I also thought we had some good individual performances," Marshall head coach Donnie Jones said. "I thought Chris Lutz had a great stat line, but that wasn't what made the difference. I think he guarded the post, the man and anybody else's man that came off screens. He was a one man zone tonight."

"We got some great defensive stops down the stretch," Jones continued. "How to close out a game is what we have been learning from our losses. It was a big victory for our program, Tulsa is a great team and is very well coached."

NOTES Whiteside, a 59.7% free throw shooter, made 4-of-4 from the line in the final two minutes of the game...Whiteside is now 21-of-24 from the charity stripe in the final five minutes of games this season...Wilkerson's 16 double-doubles is the third most among active Conference USA players...Lutz has now scored 991 career points in his stints at both Purdue (freshman and sophomore) and at Marshall.

Redlands Men's Basketball Stumbles to Cal Lutheran in Season's Third Meeting

The University of Redlands men’s basketball team traveled to Cal Lutheran University for last night’s Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) showdown, hoping to make it three in a row against the Kingsmen during the 2009-10 season. Despite defeating them at the Lee Fulmer Tournament in December and earning a solid 71-52 victory at home in January, the Bulldogs came up short for the season sweep and suffered a 72-84 loss in Thousand Oaks.

Combined with the other results around the conference, the Bulldogs remain in a tie for second place with Occidental College but now hold only a one-game lead over the two teams in fourth place. This makes the final games of the regular season even more critical in determining the team’s fate for competing in the SCIAC Postseason Tournament.

In last night’s showdown, the Bulldogs battled with the Kingsmen through the first ten minutes but quickly gave up a 13-point lead with 8:34 to go.

Redlands never regained control and faced a 16-point deficit at the break.

Despite out-scoring their opponents by four points in the second period, the Maroon and Gray succumbed to Cal Lu’s 93.3% showing at the free-throw line, where it converted 28 of its 30 opportunities. Redlands went to the line only 17 times while mustering an impressive 82.4% performance.

The Bulldogs pulled down four more boards than the Kingsmen, including a difference of six on the offensive end.

Cal Lutheran (13-10, 7-5 SCIAC) shot 53.7% from the field, compared to Redlands’ display of 47.3%.

The Maroon and Gray looked to a well-balanced attack that was led by junior center Jordan Sanvictores (Redwood City, CA) with 13 points on 6-for-9 shooting. Senior guard Pat Coffey (San Carlos, CA) chipped in nine points while junior guard Kent Ervin (Bend, OR) added eight points and five assists. Ten other Bulldogs posted at least two points in the defeat.

Redlands (12-11, 8-4 SCIAC) heads to Occidental (16-7, 8-4 SCIAC) for Saturday’s important SCIAC match-up at 7:30 p.m.

Ray Parks lacks the athleticism and explosiveness to the basket...

Ray Parks lacks the athleticism and explosiveness to the basket...

It depends on the team play.

In St. George's he is the go to guy and it clearly shows his athleticism and explosiveness.

But in Melrose his role is spot up shooter and role/defensive player.

Hopefully next year when his senior teammates graduates he will take charge on the scoring.

In St. George last school year he is the only bright spot and their division 2AA is a much lower competition compares to what he is now in Melrose.

And next year when his senior teammates graduate, he will also graduate... LOL !!!
