Class of 2001 - The Most Disappointing HS Basketball Class Ever

Daniel Ewing was that dude

 

So much potential with that class...

Chandler in HS was

 

I remember watching that Oak Hill team with Edelin and Caruth and Diop back at the Millennium Cup Tourney in Vegas...whole squad was niiiiice. Damn shame none of em (unless you exclude Diop) panned out in college.

 

WOW Billy Edelin & Pierre Pierce

Edelin trains me at the local Y i go to. Dude still has the skills but man, he smokes a join seems every hour

What ever happened to Pierce though? He was the truth down in Iowa

 

I remember the hype for Dajuan Wagner

 

same here but maybe because I'm a homer since he went to my HS and our basketball coach would always talk about him. . Honestly he was too undersized to play a 4 but didn't have the right skillset to play a 3

 

Smh, I was a top 100 player in the class of 2001, now im the manager of a car lot.... SERIOUSLY. Funny how things work out, your forgeting a few players though, Ben Gordon, Hakim Warrick.... 2001 was stacked with talent, however your right in stating the class definetely didnt pan out.

 

Najeeb Echols 

Dude was talking reckless on the Fox Sports Prep show about how Ron Artest was trash and shouldnt be in the league when he was with the Bulls. Where is Najeeb these days?

 

Didn't know David Lee was from around the way, St.Louis

 

Who are you?

 

Childress is back from Greece...on the Suns

 

I either played against a lot of these guys, or went to the same camps and tournaments as them, and while they were all ridiculously athletic, you could tell right away who had their heads on straight.

 

TJ Ford  I was sooo happy the Bucks drafted him. Dude was the real deal at Texas.
 Had some serious back injuries, good to see he's still in the NBA.

 

He played varsity as a freshman at Young the year I made last cut as a junior. Dude had talent but it seems like it all went downhill after he transferred.

 

Latest update on Dajuan Wagner;

 

Thanks for that article. Dejuan will always be one of my favorite players. He was a freak. I really think he could have been polarizing on the NBA court if not for the injuries. Him and coach Cal brought Memphis back to national attention.

 

Houston area HS hoops in 2001.

 

An article discussing Billy Edelin and the search for him - http://www.searchingforbi...060/finding-billy-edelin

 

good article. Dejauan is still that dude

 

Damn that was pretty bad

Tyson seemed doomed at first, but now got a chip

 

Damb, good read on Juanny.

Julius Hodge & Allen Ray did their thing at St. Rays.. I'm mad neither of their NBA careers worked out.. They took the State chip back in 01'.. I had Julius Hodge's locker in school.

 

Great class
