Comments about ‘High school boys basketball: Top 20’

why isn't Morgan in the top 20? They are a fine squad

RE: 18. Davis (1-2) Class: 5A
Was: 11. Last week: 1-1. Outlook: Young Darts are taking their lumps, but odds are good they'll be a factor once region play rolls around. Next up: at Bingham, today.
"Young Darts"? Are you kidding me? They start 5 seniors. In fact, their basic rotation is 8 guys. (7 seniors, 1 Junior)

You were better off just letting people think that you guys were young this year!! Letting everyone know that you play that many seniors who have been in the program that long just shows it is a down year for Davis!!! Have scouted them twice this year; not a very good team!

Morgan isn't even ranked in the top 5 of 3A, how are they going to be ranked in the top 20 in the state. I understand the amount of school pride you must have, however think about these things before you ask dumb questions. If they are really that good, your question should be why isn't Morgan ranked . . . at all, in 3A. That'd be a better place to start.

they are very scrappy defenders thats how they win noy alot of offense

Aren't you guys 1-3. A 3A team has a hard time cracking the Top 30 if they are like 6-0, but you will never see a 1-3 3A team ranked. Dude, you lost to Delta.

not Manti being 1-3. Manti looks to be a contender in 3A.

Doesnt Morgan have Big Pepsi who is the top scorer in the state and averaging a triple double?

The Darts are young in that they are all new starters. They have hit some hiccups but will turn it around once they find their groove.

How can you say Provo is clearly the best team in Utah when they have not played West Jordan or Bingham? Utah County schools always get credit much like BYU when they do not deserve it West Jordan and Bingham are solid teams

Maybe because back-to-back 4A and 5A state titles, silly person. Prove it on the court and then you can cry.

Timpview lost to Lehi by 3, they should be ranked higher, and they didnt even have kaufusi

Where does Deseret News get that info regarding Davis being young? Inexperienced maybe, but not young.

T-Bird Basketball always wanting to be like their football team, ranked number one. Football is the sport at that school so be glad you are ranked. Lehi could have won that game by more than 3, as some teams have off nights. Heck, Timpview barely beat Timpanogos.

Provo is the best team and until someone can beat them, they will remain there. WJ and Bingham are legit, but must wait until Provo gets beat.

Nice to see people talking about other possible number ones rather than Lone Peak every year.

Not bashing Lone Peak because they do have the best program in the state and probably the number one coach. Never hate on a winning program because of jealousy.

Still no Springville in the top 20? Didn't anyone notice how they dominated Cedar? Wasn't even close. It was a great win for our program. I heard Lon Kruger came to watch some of our boys perform. No doubt one or two of them are headed to UNLV after that performance. Kruger probably learned a few plays from our arsenal and no doubt picked up some coaching tips from Kitchen and Salazar.

GO SPRINGVILLE! TAKE STATE!

Manti is 2a. haha. wow. Northern utah......

What has happened to them?

Kruger wouldn't waste his time recruiting in Utah. He recruits in States that actually have basketball players. BYU can have the Utah boys. UNLV will stick to other states where they play the game above the rim and quickness is the norm. Dream on Springville fan, Kruger was nowhere to be found in your state.

Wow, after all the arrogant posts by Dart fanz last year and they still got beat. Now this year they still cant stay off the blogs. Before the year they were claiming State Championships during football season for thier basketball team as they had an undefeated JV team. Well, as you have learned it is all about the Varsity and no one cares about JV or Soph ball. Not too many Championship trophies handed out there my fellow Dart illusionists. Wake up-you arent as good as you think.

How come Brighton isn't in the top ten? They have four Metro kids on the varsity roster. Anyone who has followed superleague knows that the Metro kids are all going D-1. I mean come on don't you poeple know that Corbin Miller can go anywhere he wants to play college ball.

WJ maybe, but I think, in the end, Bingham, while slightly above average, will pretty much turn out to be an "also ran".
Provo is absolutely legit. They've played a very tough schedule so far and have stepped up to the challenge each time.
