Mentioned this kid before, but appears that offers are starting to come. He's right here in our back yard and would be a great backup to Josh White next year. I really like this kid!

Forecast: Weathers is on the rise!

It's at the point of the season already when questions of which point guards from the class of 2008 are on the rise. One of the most frequent names being mentioned is Lewisville's, Will Weathers. He is in second full season as the Farmers lead man. At 9-2 this season, Weather's play has been a big reason why the Farmers are in championship mode once again.

"Importance of this year is getting to state," said Weathers. "The more we win and the further we go, the more colleges will come and watch us." Weathers is constantly performing at a high energetic level that he hopes colleges will see what he will be able to contribute. "Hopefully colleges will see that I am one of the leaders on this team. I want to show that I can be a true point guard that the colleges need. Not only that, I want to prove that I can step up in the big moment and hit the big shot in a game. Whether it is a three or coming off the dribble, or look for a man that's wide open."

Every one knows that the Farmers offense is fueled by athleticism and quickness up and down the court.-But Weathers says he can play in any kind of system, but he does like the up tempo game. "The offensive system we run here is fast pace. It suits the type of players that we have since we have a lot of guards. I like this system and its fun, but I will do what is asked of me as a point guard. I can stabilize the team and play half court ball." During his junior season, Weathers opportunity to take the long distance shot wasn't always there, but this year, he feels the need to step up and get himself in more of a position to make the perimeter shot. Still, Weathers doesn't deny his what he does best.

"Last year I didn't get many opportunities to shoot from the outside. This year we don't have as many shooters show I am trying to step up and make the shots when I can, I want to prove that I can come down and hit the three. I don't want to get away from penetrating though. I know that I can't get by the defense and finish in the lane or find the open man. That is my strength." There are college coaches asking about point guards from around the state and some have contacted Weathers. It is a mixture of levels, but Weathers isn't concerned with the list of colleges just yet.

"Well recruiting been picking up a little bit, and a couple of schools been calling, but right now I am focused on my team and winning. Offers will come later." Weathers did have one early offer from Northern Colorado, but they signed a point guard.

Texas Hoops Analysis:WILL is a quick and fast penetrating guard who is a nice athlete. He can create for his teammates, is good at penetrating the defense and either finish with a floater in the lane or dish the ball to the open man. He is starting to come off the dribble and draining the 18 footer, he will knock down the open three, and he is very fast in the open court and likes to push the ball up court. He has quick hands on defense and is a good overall defender.
