Glad Paul Osaruyi is getting some buzz as the #3 prospect overall in the ESPN class of 2027. Canada has had trouble developing, mobile bigs with some shooting touch so hopefully this kid can help 🇨🇦 down the road. Paul just turned 16 in February , so lot's of upside in his future

The NCAA Tournament has the magic formula — just like the FA Cup: It’s the promise of hope for everyone, no matter the size or $$$ of your program. Without the Oakland and FDU’s, the tournament doesn’t work.

Good thread by Jonathan Chen, including content from #teamonpoint’s @michaeltorres03 🇨🇦
For those interested, wrote a bit about Paul Osaruyi's FIBA U16 Americas Performance last summer. Was named to the All-Star 5 Team despite being born in 2008 (most players in the tournament were born in 2007). Link: raptorsrepublic.com/2023/06/23/can…
@michaeltorres03 @HairCanada1 @DrewEbanks Yeah I saw in the Futures game he was pulling with no hesitation. They didn't go down but I could tell he was comfortable shooting from deep
@michaeltorres03 @HairCanada1 I also really like Deng Ngor from Edge Prep. His defensive feel is awesome (I still need to clip those possessions) x.com/jonathancchenn…
Jab step to attack the closeout, adjusts with a low gather on the spin to secure the ball from nail help. This is all really good stuff in 1 offensive possession. @edge_basketball got a really talented 2027 in Deng Ngor. Hope he's on the FIBA U17 squad this summer
@michaeltorres03 @HairCanada1 You ever watch Isaac Gonda? He popped to me at the Futures game x.com/jonathancchenn…
Catching up with the Futures game from the All Canadian Showcase and I was intrigued with class of 2027, 6'9" big Isaac Gonda. His rim protection and coordination sliding on defense was impressive for his size and age.
@michaeltorres03 @HairCanada1 Yeah I really like Okokoh, feels like he's made some noticeable strides in athleticism in the past year. Walters I've been keeping tabs with DME x.com/jonathancchenn…
Fast forward a year and Godson Okokoh's explosive athleticism is starting to pop. Mobility + length makes him a dangerous rim protector. He also times his rotations well, think he's got + defensive processing Has a late 2008 birthday, still just 15 years old. Great player.

Glad Paul Osaruyi is getting some buzz as the #3 prospect overall in the ESPN class of 2027. Canada has had trouble developing, mobile bigs with some shooting touch so hopefully this kid can help 🇨🇦 down the road. Paul just turned 16 in February , so lot's of upside in his future

Paul Osaruyi had a really good game today in the first game of the U16 Americas Championship. He finished with 14 Points, 11 Rebounds, and 5 Blocks. And was a key part of his teams victory.
A tribute to the legendary Bob Cole. 🕊️
One of my first jobs was doing stats for these two legends. Every sports broadcaster of my vintage will be telling a few “Coley” stories tonight. A life well lived. A Canadian broadcasting giant. My condolences to his family and close friends. #BobCole
Hockey has lost one of its most iconic voices. Bob Cole was a wonderful man whose voice we will never forget. I’m so thankful he was on the call for my career. #BobCole #SoloJob #OhBaby #HowAboutThat
NHL PxP commentator, Bob Cole, was THE voice of hockey for so many decades. Someone whose footsteps I wanted to follow in. There’s even a chapter in my book titled after him. Met him at the last ever game played at Northlands Coliseum. A CDN legend who’ll be remembered forever 🙏🏽
In my mind, the Greatest to ever do it. An inspiration to me and countless other hockey play-by-play announcers who aspired to be even half as good. He was always amazing when the “moment” arrived. RIP Mr. Cole.
Bob Cole, the play-by-play voice of countless NHL games, dies at 90 cbc.ca/1.7184556
Sid with Bob Cole is one of my favourite pictures. I sat at a table after the Danny Gallivan golf tournament with Bob, Sid, Nathan Mackinnon and Ken Reid amongst others and we all sat there like kids around the campfire listening to Bob tell stories. Magical memory. RIP Legend.
Many broadcasters make broadcasts better. Not many make the games they are broadcasting better. Bob had that singular ability. He was a gift to his profession, his province and country, his fans, colleagues and friends, and, mostly, to his family. We mourn.
Bob Cole, the play-by-play voice of countless NHL games, dies at 90 cbc.ca/1.7184556
