Damn, your grandson was the superintendent of schools? Congrats, Crotch. Sorry to hear about his death, though. That must've been tough for you, even if he was in his 70's...

I mean aside from the reeking of jealousy, does he even realize that the Harrison's are twins? there are two of them?

No wonder he thinks they are a head case, he probably thinks the kid has multiple personalities
Yes there is two of them and read the scouting report on both of them, not that hard to fine 3 or 4 reports

To keep defenses honest, especially in the half court set, Harrison needs to become a more consistent 3-point shooter. He can knock down shots at various ranges, but it would benefit him if gets smoother in that area. He sometimes allows his emotions to get to him and thus it causes him to lose concentration at the task at hand. He needs to add a jump stop to avoid charges when he over penetrates.

At his size he has blossoming lead guard skills

Blossoming means coming on not there yet not a true PG

way to pick and choose from ESPN Insider's scouting report. Here's the WHOLE thing:

Strengths:
Harrison (Andrew) has great size and length for the point guard position. Whether its transition, running an offense or breaking off a play, Harrison utilizes terrific change of pace to set up his move and his man. His scoring comes in transition as he is very good at rebounding down from the perimeter and going all the way to the basket. He is as tough a competitor as there is in high school. Has game dominating ability. Harrison can move to the shooting guard and not miss a beat and he has the size and athletic ability to defend all three perimeter positions. He is a tough rebounder (especially on the defensive end) as well and defensively his lateral quickness is impressive as he has the ability to guard multiple positions.

Weaknesses:
To keep defenses honest, especially in the half court set, Harrison needs to become a more consistent 3-point shooter. He can knock down shots at various ranges, but it would benefit him if gets smoother in that area. He sometimes allows his emotions to get to him and thus it causes him to lose concentration at the task at hand. He needs to add a jump stop to avoid charges when he over penetrates.

Bottom Line:
He raises the level of play on his team because he leads by example with a competitive nature, focus and battle tested toughness. At his size he has blossoming lead guard skills and is terrific at making plays. What separates him from the rest is in his pace of play. His game is like a stop light he can go from green to yellow to red all in a moments notice.

I picked Davidson dammit
I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

also, I have the most possible points in TGP pool, which is not surprising because I'm pretty sure I am the career leader in correct bracket picks here.
