The Quakers of Lansing Eastern couldn’t transform a dominant performance by LaDontae Henton into a win over Sexton, but they did get to show off one of the top freshmen in the state.
5-11 guard Charles Tucker, Jr. scored eight points in his highly-anticipated debut for the Quakers.
The Detroit Free Press picked Eastern as the 11th best team in the state in the preseason. Our resident ranker, Gavin Raath, was less sure of the Quakers and picked them to finish 5th in the CAAC Blue.

Well Jackson got trhashed by Waverly so I’m starting to tthink fourth would have been a better pick for Eastern. But Tucker is the real deal huh?

Charles Tucker is going to be a very good player,and he is the best Freshman in the Lansing area. I just hate when there is all of the hype being put on a young player. I remember Watching Marcus Taylor signing autographs after one of his first games as a freshman !! Henton was also given a lot of media hype.
Sexton has a fairly young team with three Sophs. That all had very good games. Valentine is a 10th grader,but only played four games last year before a season ending injury. So there is more going on besides the “freshman phenom”

Probably Haney at East Lansing.

Depends on if you mean who is the best now, or who will be the best…
January 3, 2010 at 4:49 pm
Haney and Tisdale have high (really high) ceilings.

I don’t know much about Haney, but from what I hear I tend to agree with Jared.

I hard a lot about Watts and Lewis. Do any one know what’s up with them?

Is Tisdale and Morris are good like everyone says?
Are all the players I named on varsity?
And if they are who’s getting more mins?
How would you rank the five players?

Anyone going to answer me?
I need to know about the freshmans.

Watts is a bigger point guard, especially for a freshman. With added strength, he could certainly be as good as Glenn Cosey. Probably better.
He’s a fairly efficient shooter, too.
Tisdale is growing like a weed. He’s a tall guard with nice handle and finishes probably as well as any freshman guard I’ve seen. He has been playing with older players for a long time, and it shows.

Do you know anything about Lewis and or Morris.
Cause I need to know everything about the freshmans
