Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 tbgfan: I remember you singing Malcolm Brogdon's praises, having seen him in action in GA. All I can say is: thank you. This young man has been THE catalyst for making our boys 8-1 in the ACC. He's even better a person than a basketball player.

gwave0333 69 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 I've loved the way Brogdon has played since ACC play has started. He has been a hugh part of the run they are having right now. I've also been pleasantly surprised with Perrantes and the way he has came In to the system and runs the offensive in a way that suites Bennett's style and has taken care of the ball the way he has. Gonna be fun watching this team for the foreseeable future with losing Harris and Mitchell but replacing them with Stith,Wilkins, and Salt. I really think Wilkins will be a beast by the time he leaves Grounds. Deleted Account 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublue 939 Report Share Posted February 4, 2014 Actually Observer that was me. I've been following Greater ATL Christian's sports programs for about six years.. I've watched the vid several times since the win. ( I try and watch the games when I know they're being aired). In watching Malcolm play his high school BB at GAC, you knew then he had the ability to play at the next level. Also, as you mentioned, he's an even better person. His demeanor and maturity on the court in high school, even then, was "beyond" his actual years on this earth. I remember some article regarding the Cavs in his first year ...his teammates were asked who on the team could be a future President...they named Malcolm. This speaks volumes about this young man. GAC is very proud to have him as a grad. Another Greater ATL Christian player you'll be getting next year...Isaiah Wilkins. Isaiah is a different player than Malcolm...more lean and long... and seemingly can just "float in the air." (GAC is undefeated at the present 23-0). Isaiah is also a team player...he assumes any role required in a game. Eddie Martin, the head BB coach at GAC is the glue of this outstanding program. There's another player that comes off the bench for the Cavs from the ATL area. I, also, saw him play in HS . Evan Nolte, he played for Milton HS. What is ironic...Greater ATL Christian and Milton played in the championship game at the Arby's Classic tournament in December in Bristol.

Deleted Account 5,203 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 My apologies, trublue. Credit where credit's due! Brogdon's a guy you want to see succeed and succeed abundantly. Coming back from a career-threatening injury is one thing, but to do it and improve production? That just doesn't happen. I had forgotten that Nolte was from that area, too. Pipelines are a good thing. It's how we were able to swing Gill when he left South Carolina. I can't wait to see Wilkins in action. He'll come in and replace Mitchell, which will be no east task. Tony likes players who can fluidly cover different positions, and I expect that he'll be asked to spell Tobey at 5 and Gill/Nolte/Atkins at the 4 when Tony goes to more offensive lineups.

trublue 939 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Congrats to Malcolm... Malcolm Brogdon named the CBSSports.com National Player of the Week. LINK EXCERPT: "It's surreal when you think about it," Brogdon told reporters after Saturday's historic win, and it really must be for this Georgia native who wasn't even a top-100 prospect coming out of high school. But that's the past. The present has Brogdon as the leading scorer on a team now ranked fifth in the Associated Press poll and sixth in the Top 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trublue 939 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 What an outstanding and well balanced young man...the following article is a great read...Greater ATL Christian is very proud...(GACS also has other outstanding graduates making a difference in the world...a Rhodes scholar and 3 Fulbright scholars to list just a few honors bestowed) Eric Hobeck Retweeted SI College Hoops â€@si_ncaabb 3h3 hours ago Malcolm Brogdon knows his impact can extend well beyond the hardwood (via @byDavidGardner) http://on.si.com/1Wo6UJS pic.twitter.com/MWko8vefvr excerpt: “In my family, graduating and getting your bachelor’s is just the beginning,†Brogdon says. “It’s only expected. You’re underachieving if you don’t strive for more than that.†Brogdon’s great-grandparents were college educated. His grandfather on his mother’s side has a master’s in divinity, and his grandmother a doctorate in education. His father, Mitchell, is a lawyer and mediator in Atlanta; his mother has a Ph.D. in clinical psychology and is the associate provost for faculty at Morehouse College. His oldest brother, Gino, is a practicing attorney in Atlanta. His other brother, John, is also in law school at Howard. And every one of them believes that Malcolm is the most dedicated and driven member of the family. GMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't know if there's any player who has ever encapsulated what a program is about more than Malcolm Brogdon at Virginia. I would say that he's one in a million, but that's too small a number. tbgfan and Canes00 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
