Mr. Basketball Poll

[#50mandan]

if you have to have good grades to win mr basketball that is really sad, but i dont believe that is true because travis mertens won the award last year and i heard he didnt have the best of grades

[coyote#12]

You need to have solid grades to win Mr.Basketball.

I heard that Qvale is very smart, and I'm pretty sure Kick averages A's and B's....How about Belohlavek?

Not A's and B's, we'll just say that..........

[Leech]

Grades should (and probably are) only relevant to the player and his/her parents, not the voters. I don't know if they can legally access them anyway.

I dont think grades matter.

he had good enough grades to go to UND even tho he took the full ride to LRSC

[chachi_j2007]

Justin Behlolavek is the man.  Nobody can stop this kid and you guys talk about how everybody else has had good careers well so has he. I can't wait for him to come to Minot on friday and see him dominate in Minot.  I like to watch him play because hes got some spectacular stuff.

Nobody in the state can stop this kid. . .he should have Mr. BBall wrapped up. . .but all i can say is there is still about a half a month of ball left

[bcourtbraves]

I think he proved for sure that he was a legit Mr. Basketball against Belcourt. Realizing that his shooting stroke was off he started getting his teammates involved and helped win the game with his nine assists.

I know in mr. hockey to even be considered to be a canidate you have to have a certain GPA, which isn't very high. Though i think it is a good thing because Mr. basketball award or any award in class A, should not just be considered on what you do on the court, but what you also do off the court. If you struggling to keep off the ineligable list then you don't deserve it.

i think if you stay eligible your grades shouldnt matter then

Though if your the best player in the state, and have a 1.2 GPA, those wont get you into a NCAA division I or II college. I heard from someone Mertens got like a 12 on his ACT is that true? Maybe that's why he ended up going to a Junior college, and not to UND, or somthing in that catagory.

[O_Snap]

I am willing to bet that if you are a good enough basketball player coaches can get you into a college if they want you to.. Its not right but they can and have im sure.  You think someone like Clarett got good grades honestly?  Maybe he did I dont know but.......

i know that alot of big school have a kid go play a year of JC to get his grades up so he can get into the school

back in the day they used to im sure, but know the ncaa cracks down harder, i heard you get recruiting suspentions. No big DI or DII is going to resict the chance of getting a suspention which could ruin there program.

I don't know if u guys are joking about his score or not...if not, that's terrible to score that low...and no you don't get points on the ACT for your name, I believe that's the SAT...plus, if I'm not mistaken you need a minimum of 18 to partake in athletics in college, maybe not a JUCO though

[north_border_eagles2106]

yeah it wasn't made up, he really did get a 13.. why do you think he didn't go to Mayville State or UND?

[Ditka14]

yeah it wasn't made up, he really did get a 13.. why do you think he didn't go to Mayville State or UND?

The thing is i think after he is done with his 2 years at devils lake i think you can transfer, with the grades you got the first 2 years, and the act having no effect? Am i right on that or if it somthing i just heard?

And that is a reason why i think grades should be a factor in Mr.Basketball.

That is correct he can transfer with no prior record holding him back    but also i do agree grades should be a factor for being a candidate

[north_border_eagles2106]

I agree too, I dont think very often the mr. basketball candidate has had that poor of grades but it should come into play.  It shouldn't have a major effect on someone winning but if grades are that bad I dont know, maybe he should focus on something other then basketball.

[WildWarrior]

I know that Mr. Basketball looks at community involvement and involvement in other areas of life besides basketball.  I don't really understand why we are discussing anyone's ACT score as that is none of our business.  A low ACT score doesn't necessary equal bad grades.

im not necesarilly saying you're wrong but why would involvement in the community have anything do to with winning mr. basketball

I always thought the award had to do with basketball...that's it...

in my opinion basketball is all it should be
