God, this is going to be so much fun. I love having a crapton of local kids on the squad. If Paulsen can win with a bunch of DMV kids (especially 703 kids), I will be at a LOT of games.
It's just more fun when they're locals, and now we've got 4 kids in the last 3 recruiting classes that played their HS ball within 45 minutes of the patriot center.
Xavier had 29 points on 9-12 FGs
(7-7 from 3-point range), 4 rebounds, 4 steals and 4 assists (zero turnovers) in Episcopal’s season-opening win.
Thanks. All of your efforts are greatly appreciated.In case anyone wanted to watch him play, here is the team schedule: https://www.episcopalhighschool.org/page/team-detail?fromId=199102&Team=235323&SeasonLabel=2018 - 2019
I've seen this kid play. I hope they can hold on to him.
In 5 games, Xavier is averaging 20.6 points per game, 4.4 assists, and 4.2 rebounds.
In the same 5 games, Xavier's younger brother Darius, a sophomore 5'11" guard, is averaging 17.8 points, 2.4 assists, and 5.4 rebounds.
I hope Darius likes playing with his brother and wants to continue in the future.
Awesome - gimme all the Johnsons, and I don't care how that sounds!
I barely gather much from highlight tapes. But in you guy's opinion what position and what type of player(i.e shooter, slasher, pass first, post) is Johnson?
Funny, I see it as the opposite. To me, Adams-Woods seems better able to get to the rim, and Xavier seems like a shooter; although, XJ needs to quicken his release. But, I don't think we're getting Adams-Woods.He’s definitely a point guard who wants to be on the ball, unlike Adams-Woods who might be a better 2 guard.
Those who saw him play in person say he can get into the lane whenever he wants and he gets to the line a lot. He seems to have a pretty effective outside shot.
I’m curious to see how big he is. I’ve seen him listed
Anywhere from 6’0 to 6’3. He’s already 25 pounds heavier than Jamal Hartwell was last season.
Apparently he's a good shooter, but that release is something else. He also wrongfoots his release all the time!
