When I was watching TCU play the other night, they talked about their fine PG Chauncey Collins. He's a sophomore and also their leading scorer. They mentioned he was the two-time national home school player of the year, and played in OKC. In one game against Midwest City he scored 50 points.

I found this article about Collins. I guess he dropped out of Millwood as a freshman but came back to HS to play basketball. I was just curious if OU or any other Oklahoma college ever recruited him. Collins is cat quick but obviously not very big. He would have helped OU this year

I remember a game I refereed here in Houston. It was a home school team playing a prominent church school. I expected the home school team to have a bunch of geeks on the bench doing homework during timeouts. Instead they had a 6'8" chiseled, black kid that looked like a block of granite. His name was Kevin Johnson and he was ultimately Tulsa's all-time rebounding leader for a while....maybe he still is. I rank him as one of top 10 players I ever refereed.

My point is some of these church schools have some good players.... like Collins. I guess the good ones also play AAU ball and that's where they get scouted. Collins was playing in OU's back yard.

He sure had an impressive one handed left-hand dunk against taco tech.

Highly debatable. He's listed at 6-0 and not a true PG, so he's worse in just about every way than Woodard and Cousins. Basically he's very similar to Dinjiyl Walker, but not clearly better than him, except at shooting FT. If you traded him for Walker, I don't think it makes us any better.

He's a nice player for TCU though. But I certainly wouldn't want him on OU's roster for the next 2 years when we could instead be developing guys like James, Grandstaff, McGusty, etc.

I find it hard to fault somebody wanting to discuss Chauncey Collins for missing 2 posts about him 4 days ago in a thread about Tre Evans.

Fair enough. My Apologies.
