One of our least talked about signees in a while. He should be a great addition, glad to see he is being recognized.

What were his stats this year and what kind competition is he playing against at that level?

That is impressive! I hope he does big things for us

Here you go. My guess is he didn't actually go 0-90 from three though.

Yep. Comparing it to previous years, it would be hard to believe he jumped all the way to attempting 90 shots.

This leads to a question though -

Are there different rules for 3 pt lines & shot clocks in high schools in various states?
Is the 3 pt shot used in all states?

I would think the 3 pt shot would be, however the shot clock may not be used everywhere.

Everyone uses the 3, most states don't use a shot clock... AHSAA is currently looking into the feasibility of implementing a shot clock, though. The problem you run into is cost for schools to purchase and install appropriate shot-clock systems in their gyms. Some schools in the B'ham area have court-level LED boards that show player pictures and stats; other areas of the state have schools with scoreboards that still need their incandescent bulbs replaced to read scores and times correctly.

13 pts 8 rbs 3 blocks and 68% shooting!

Sounds like deandre Jordan!!

You realize the kettle of fish you've just opened up, yes?

There is definitely chum in the water...

Definitely don't know much about Cokley. I feel like anythiing he contributes next season will be a bonus.

Cokley is a great looking kid. The 0-90 from the 3 point line is a typo. The little bit of video I could find shows Cokley working better in an up tempo environment.

Cokley may not do much next year, but I expect he will be a good player for us down the road.

Savannah High has lost 8 games in this season and all of last year. Johnson High School from across town has beaten Savannah High 4 of those times. Ring leader for Johnson is Adrian "Rico" Bonds, a 5'10" lightning bug. Including Johnson knocking Savannah out in the GA State AAA finals last season.





We could use Bonds right now.
