Garfield Heights: A Boatload of Talent!

Garfield Heights is coming off another impressive win on Tuesday night against Medina. The most impressive factor was their 30-0 run throughout the 3rd quarter. Lets get straight to the point, this team is really talented and might be deep enough, big enough and guard heavy enough to compete in Columbus come March. Take a look at this squad:
Pg,5'11,Carl Jones (Committed to St. Joes) Big-time offensive star
Sg,5'10 Trey Lewis (Already has 4 D-1 Offers) Could be better than Jones in 2 years.
WG,6'4 Roy Brown (Committed to D2 Charleston) Gym-Ray, Does little things.
PF,6'8 Mario Hines (Juco or Prep MM Prospect) Defends Well, Has really stepped up.
PF,6'8, Fred Chatman (Morehead State has offered) Long,Raw and Upside.
Coming off the Bench:
PG,5'10, Kenny Simpson (2012 Prospect with swagger) Lefty that will be a D1 prospect.
WF.6'5,Will Weeks (LM+ Prospect) Skilled, Good Feel, needs to work on conditioning.
PF,6'6,Andre Jackson (D3+ Prospect) Really Athletic, Plays Hard, Limited Skill Set
C,6'8,Jermaine Davis (2012 Prospect) Think Aaron Agnew, but smaller waistline. Upside
Coach: Sonny Johnson (4th year)
Strengths: This team could be really really special come March once they learn to play together and develop team chemistry. Carl Jones is one of the best offensive players in the country and can drop 30 on you real fast. Lewis is also putting up double-digit numbers and Brown, Hines and Chatman can score anywhere between 10-20 on any given night. Weeks does a good job playing his role and Simpson and Jackson do a good job coming off the bench and keeping the energy high.
Weaknesses: With having this much talent it might be a problem only using 1 basketball, the guards will need to work inside-out if they want to advance and have post-season success. Jones needs to show leadership and show that he can do more than score. After back to back District appearances will this be the year Garfield gets out of Warrnesville? Time will tell.
