With Baye Fall transfer to Denver Prep Academy will be very interesting to see how this impact the Colorado basketball scene. Follows a nationwide trend on the basketball front will be coached by Ray Valdez a longtime Colorado prep figure. Langston Reynolds (denver east's star player and probably the best player in the 2022 cycle in Colorado transferred last year to Colorado Prep Academy. Wonder if this happened years ago if Josh Perkins would have done this as opposed to transferring to Colorado Prep, Ronnie Degray is another name that comes in mind. From a Colorado recruiting standpoint will probably get kids more exposure to programs nationwide giving Tad more competition to keep top kids in state for college. However, it might keep top kids for going to east coast prep schools. Thoughts?
 
Luv Colorado having 2 teams competing -Nationally- on The Grind Session now! I agree it could get Colorado players more exposure, and potentially more competition for those players with CU and Tad’s staff. But, overall, it has to be a net positive for basketball in state of Colorado and even for CU. Especially, since it can attract out-of-state players to both schools, which gives CU larger local talent-base. Like Keither Florence - from Kansas, now playing on Colorado Prep Academy. Luv Baye Fall to Denver Prep Academy!
 
Just a thought. 2023 feels like the biggest pool of big men we've had in Colorado HS for quite some time. Fall, Betts, Diop, Ndongo, and Booth. I think it's critical to land at least one of these guys. We really need some more size and length on the block.
 
Had the Denver West Boys last night. Heard they were 13-0 and was kind of skeptical because they've sucked for so long...........but holy hell. The team they played was terrible, but **** they were impressive. Tenacious defenders. They're all really athletic, too. Couldn't hear what the coach said his name was when I met him last night-but he coaches those kids hard.....because the kids let him.

No idea how they're being recruited, but they're 4a state title good.

Please excuse this old guy rabbit hole, but way, way back in the mid-80s, West had a 6-9 kid named Robert Coyne who signed with KU in the same class as Mark Randall, but I don't think they were good enough to get over the hump vs the top of the DPL.., which back then was Manual/GW/Montbello.
