Congrats and well deserved. @TomZillich provides amazing coverage for amateur and school sports in Surrey.

@RobFai Agreed. The NBA maybe even more of a pipe dream at this point. 8-10 billion just for an expansion fee with an already 30 year old arena, with a 70 something cent dollar and assuming American owners would not get the same tax breaks buying a Canadian franchise?

Must be a slow news day. Let me save the City some time and money. Major League Baseball has several ready-to-go, shovels at the ready potential bids from cities with serious buyers (Nashville, Salt Lake, Portland, etc.) We have a 72 cent dollar, no stadium, and a Major League team already in Vancouver set to relocate if we don't get our shit together. A committee to explore the "possibilities" of MLB? Just grab any article that has come out in this market every single year like clockwork talking about the exact same thing. Read through those and call it a day. Vancouver is a world-class city, but its focus should absolutely NOT be on MLB. You want another pro team back in the city? Go try your luck with the WNBA or NBA where you already have a home ready to go. Good grief...🤣

Gurjowan Cheema’s Provincial highlights.

@workinithoops @sartajbhangu_ Was one of the best players in the GNAC after Christmas. High level athleticism and shot making.

6'8 FR Sartaj Bhangu (@sartajbhangu_) was quietly one of the most IMPRESSIVE freshman in D2 this season! Bhangu is a long, athletic, sharpshooting wing who was great for D2 Simon Fraser in conference play, averaging: • 10.6 PPG • 5.7 RPG • 44.4% 3PT Had some big time games this season including 16 PTS & 13 REB vs. Western Oregon, 16 PTS & 10 REB vs. Western Washington, and 11 PTS & 11 REB vs. Northwest Nazarene. One of the HIGHEST UPSIDE young players in the PNW!! @smcollegehoops @3SeedTraining @DRIVEBasketball

@workinithoops @dorianglogovac Great player, great student, great human. Some D1 is going to get a great addition to their program.

NEWS: 6'6 FR G Dorian Glogovac (@dorianglogovac), the LEADING freshman scorer in D3 this season, is in the PORTAL!! Glogovac had an exceptional year at Caltech this season, averaging: • 23.6 PPG • 7.1 RPG • 2.0 APG • 1.1 STL • 8.9 3PA/G (7th in D3) Video game numbers from the Canadian, who is receiving heavy D1 interest from high academic schools & beyond. At 6'6, Glogovac is an high level shot creator who can score at all three levels, make plays for others, and stretch the floor with his elite 3PT range and shot making ability. Great rebounding numbers for his position as well. A special talent! @nbadraftpoint @DRIVEBasketball @TheCBSPod @VerbalCommits @ThePortalReport @TheHoopHerald

@bcbballmetrics @DenisBeausoleil South Fraser 4a can’t get the strength berth due to BCSS capping our zones berths at 4
