Crazy ending, gotta feel for Racine though, they clearly had the more complete team. Were Sam Okey's Cassville teams this one dimensional?

Not at all. Okey could have scored 3,500 points on a team like that. He was lucky to play a half of game.

I know he's a very good player, but he still is playing D5 and I think that makes him look a little better. I hope my gut feelings are wrong and I hope he brings a new dimension to the Badgers next year. We will see though.

That last shot is one of those shots that if it doesn't go in, you're screaming at him wondering what he's doing. But it went in, so party on.

Bo knew what he was doing when he signed the kid 2 years ago! I saw Decker play with The Playground Warriors against the best competition and he was awesome! A player is a player regardless of the size of the school!

Yes it is. And he wasn't just trending in Wisconsin, but trending throughout the US and Worldwide. Usually doesn't happen too often for a HS basketball player from Wisco.

Alright, I've seen him play just a few times but never over the summer. Like I said, I hope I'm wrong

He was phenominal on the AAU circuit. Played against his own caliber of players and held his own. Lots of work to do defensively imo at times in big 10 play though. Congrats, and tear it up at the next level. Him and Koening in years to come should be a treat to watch!

Tip of the cap to Dekker, but if Racine makes foul shots that game is DONE and the last 50 seconds don't matter. It is much more of what Racine did to give Dekker a chance. They did everything else right.

His national exposure at the AAU level and the players he played with and against proved he is a D1 player. His national ranking climbed all summer. I don't care what level he would have played in Wisconsin...he was a double-double guy at any level.

Kudos to Sam...what a great finish.

That ending was absolutley insane. If I wasn't there to witness it in person I never would believe it. It's been a true pleasure being around Sam and the rest of the Dekker family for the past 10+ years. Sam is truly one of the best kids I've encountered and I'm glad he got to go out on top. Can't wait to see what he does next.

No he hasn't. He hasn't played a collegiate game yet.

He appears to be a D1 talent, but until he steps on the floor, you can't crown him one. He's not an Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving type of player that you know will make a smooth, immediate transition to the college game. I think there's still some questions about his game that need to be answered (from the little I've seen anyway).

There have been a lot of misses from Wisconsin over the years. Okey, Butch (decent career, but far from expectations), Stiemsma, Gavinski. I think it's fair to question Dekker's skills.

Although I don't 100% disagree with you, I do disagree with your examples of players who "missed". Okey was Big 10 Frosh of the Year, and had off court issues which prevented him from making it (I don't consider that a miss, just a man who made poor decisions). Stiemsma plays, and has started games for the Boston Celtics, I wouldn't consider that a miss. Butch was fine his Junior and Senior year before his injuries.

So although I agree we can't say Dekker is going to be a college stud, your examples weren't the best.

Not totally related to the topic, but is Gavinski really seen as a miss? I don't remember a ton about his recruitment, but I sort of always viewed it as kind of taking a flier on a local kid, maybe he'll pan out, maybe he won't. He obviously didn't, but giving some of the chuckling I read on here at the time, I don't know that many were expecting him to.

The best part of that game was when Racine student section started chanting "over-rated" at same! I think his 40 points and clutch shots had to prove a little something haha! Anyway it was a great game congrats to both teams on a great season!

Wow, you are reaching. A consensus Top 25 kid nationally and you're saying he hasn't proven he is a D1 player? So who in the country has proven to the great Rodey they are a "D1 talent"?
