Last weekend Beard and BBE played at the Peach Invitational Tournament in Augusta, South Carolina. On a team full of stars Beard played his role. Ran the show playing on the ball quite a bit distributing to his running mates. Was tough getting downhill where he finished well through traffic. Beard spoke about his play with BBE at Peach Invitational.
“This past week went well. I feel like I really took a step forward in being a better point guard. It’s hard coming into a situation where you aren’t “the man” anymore, but I found my way and adjusted well. I had to pick my spots within the offense and it eventually became easy.”
In June Beard played some of his best basketball getting back with his high school team at Whitney Young.
“June was great. I got lots of great work in and really got after it when we played. I proved most importantly to myself and others that I’m still a great player. It’s just up to me to show it consistently. June was only a little bit of what is to come during the season.”
Where do things stand with recruiting?
“Things slowed down a bit with my recruiting, but I’m very sure things are going to pick back up during this season. I want to cut my list down really soon and commit sometime toward the end of high school season.”
He mentioned a few schools that are in constant contact with him.
“I really love Florida State and West Virginia. Also Texas A&M really wants to get a visit set up. I love all three schools and the cultures they have.”
What is his timeline looking like for visits and a decision?
“Honestly I’m not sure. It all depends on how recruiting goes at the start of the season and how I play. Also I’d like to see the other players that commit and sign to these schools. I’m sure of making a decision before the start of the new year.”
