Quote:Star of the game: Although he didn’t lead his team in points, 5-star Mountain Brook senior Trendon Watford was everywhere for the Spartans and finished with 10 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.

I’m confused then. I just saw on Twitter that he got a triple double. Heck he didn’t get a triple double at all, so why someone would tweet that out is beyond me. Sorry for posting.

I saw that tweet. Maybe the guy kept his own stats. Still shows how Watford can affect a game even if he's not scoring.
Said he's waiting until season is over to decide. Still between us, LSU, Bama, Indiana. He said a little about 3 of the schools - didn't say anything about Indiana. My take is it's between us and LSU. All he said about Bama was they were first to offer. And since he's waiting until after his HS season is over, I'm guessing he doesn't want to get harassed by Bama fans at games.
Talks with Wiseman frequently and also knows DJ very well. Said having Wiseman signed helps Memphis in his recruitment.

Not the interview but was at the game - my impressions:
Combination of things...East got very impatience in the 4th against a good zone collapsed around Wiseman & East guards were bricking quick 3s rather than working to get the ball inside to Wiseman. That got East behind in the 4th. East was using Dandridge at the top of the key (probably to facilitate high/low opportunities), but he was drawing no defender with 3 defenders all over Wiseman on the block. East also got away from Wiseman on the perimeter where he had been very effective shooting the 3 in the 1st half. For sure, Watford was much more active in the 4th but Mtnbrook had other excellent outside shooters too when Watford was down low. Crunch time in the 4th, Watford was bringing the ball up court, had the ball at the top of the key & with patience was able to get to the rim time after time - and he hit FTs. Game over, despite East hitting 2-3 desperation 3s at the end.
Watford definitely had the most complete game on the floor. He can play anywhere needed - and we need him. We could use his game right now. Wiseman, at least in that game, showed he's the better shooter, was maybe the better defender but Watford has a pretty complete game, excels in every facet of the game. Penny & Miller were both there, one at one end of the court, one at the other - seemed very strategic that Watford would see Tiger interest at both ends of the floor.
