Bentonville vs Eldorado ESPN

[mr.gametime]

I know this has nothing to do with 2A basketball. ..but I think it's big for the state of Arkansas to get national exposure...Malik Monk and Bentonville will play against Daniel Gafford and El Dorado tonight at 4:30 on ESPNU..2 of the top players in the country

[brown2010]

i say Austin reeves is better than both

[bdubyab60]

And you would be wrong.

[smallybells]

Thanks for the tip! I have seen Monk play, have not seen Gafford, just knew he was another sought after prospect in the state.

[smallybells]

Better than Malik Monk? Are you insane?

[Pick_DA_EAGLES]

Come on Brown.  Reeves recruited by Wichita state,  Monk recruited by just about everyone.

Oh but look at how much hes scored. One will be in the NBA an dht eother will be a Wichita State for the next few years.

Lol...Brown there is a difference in being a good player and being an elite player....and Malik Monk is arguably the best player in the COUNTRY. ..

Good luck convincing this guy

Still 0-2 vs The Manila Lions!

[bdubyab60]

Still 0-2 vs The Manila Lions!

and that has what to do with how good a player he is.

[Ctucker]

 Nothing. But it makes him feel better. He was 0-2 against Ceder too but I bet it never crosses his mind.He was just a freshman.He is a great player hope him success in college and pros.

[smallybells]

Whats the low down on the Asa kid? Im out of the loop. Is that the gov's grandkid, nephew or something?

[Ctucker]

Grandson.

[RedWolf275]

Monk played a great game against El Dorado. He showed a lot of versatility today. Scoring in all ways and grabbing 15 boards.

[smallybells]

Well Asa has a sweet shot, on the other reply, Monk is a slasher, shooter, and has an all around floor presence. He is a top 10 recruit in the country for a reason.

Just saying bdub, Brady Jones & Co took him & crew out behind the woodshed. Just speaking facts.

[brown2010]

monk 0-2 against reeveswhy he left didn't want to lose again to him.lol jk hf what you talking about. we fixing to get them big rings soon

[brown2010]

monk can shoot the lights out too

[smallybells]

Ok Brown, Reaves is good. K. Allen has had a couple breakout games as a true freshman for Florida. Monk is as good or better than him, Reaves can be an impact player, but not as a true freshman against D1 competition. If you dont understand that then I bow out.

[NEA Razorback olfan]

Only time will tell how good all these players will turn out!!
Best of luck to all of them!!

Like I said what does that have to do with how good of a player he is. There's several teams he hasn't beaten. He's also 0-2 or 3 in state title games.

Regardless of who's beat EPC or Bentonville. Monk is still the best player in the state and that's facts.

[mtindian42]

Monk was 😮 as usual... Asa was a nice shooter... Eldo: gafford was solid... Perry was good as well.

[neds]

Score?

[RedWolf275]

Bentonville won by 20+. Not sure of exact score. Bentonville gradually pulled away from start to finish.

[neds]

Thanks

[BigLion10]

80-59

[Hornet4ever]

Watched Monk tonight, hands down best in the country if not best he's dang close. Watched him tonight on TV. Anyone who can do a side winder dunk in the high school level is impressive.

[RedWolf275]

He was wind milling in the 9th grade at EPC. One of the best Dunkers you will see.

[Mr. Trill]

Asa ain't all that to me. Reeves is cold, don't sleep on him. He should be like #2 in the state. Haven't seen Gafford but saw his highlights, he's cold too...We all know what's up with Monk. REEVES WOULD BE A NICE FIT FOR THE RAZORBACKS

Would be nice, but he committed to Wichita State. Tough pill to swallow losing 2 of the states top high school players to out of state colleges.

[Mr. Trill]

Just saw Gafford play against Bentonville and he was not all that good to me at all, he needs to develop a Lil more for his size.

[mr.gametime]

He has upside ...and is still learning the game...and he had a decent game I think he had what 17 points and 17 rebounds??....that's a solid performance for a big man

[mr.gametime]

I watched shawn williams from muamelle. ..play twice this year and he is better than the kid from cedar ridge

Not even close.

Hes just a junior is he not? I would say that a large percentage of highschool players still need to develope.

If you add Kevaughn Allen from last year to the list, it could be said the Hogs recruiting of high school players is pretty poor. I guess that's why the next recruiting class is full of JUCO players.

[Ctucker]

I've seen Shawn Williams too and he is good but I would take reeves over him. That's just my opinion. Monk looked good yesterday that's the first time I've seen him since he was in ninth grade. Amazing how smooth he is can't wait to watch him in college.

Gafford looked pretty soft during the game.

[bdubyab60]

EPC held him to 2 points. Needs to get more physical

[ISU7]

Gafford looked pretty soft during the game.

The same was said about Portis. when he was in high school.  Where is he now.

I understand where HL in coming from Bdub.......when you are a lifetime Cubs/Manila Lions fan you have to celebrate the small victories:-)   Sorry HL couldn't resist:-)

It makes Manila feel good to compare what they did against great players or teams. In 2010-2011 when Manila was supposedly the team too beat in the 3--3A bb you never hear RC saying we beat Manila or Earle we just went out and won the 2010- 11 3A state bb title that we wasn't supposed to win. HL loves to compare.  Lol
