This Is What You've Won: Tim Frazier Soars and Scores

by Run Up The Score on Apr 9, 2009 4:28 PM EDT in Basketball

Continuing today's YouTubeness, there's a good chance that you've already seen 2009 Penn State basketball recruit Tim Frazier dunking over some poor, unsuspecting soul. But in case you missed it:

#23 Tim Frazier "THE DUNK" 2009 (with sound) (via 30coach6)

Previous versions didn't have sound, so this is a nice YouTube surprise. That play deserves the hundreds of OHHH!'s it received. The bonus, however, appears to be this much longer clip of Strake Jesuit highlights...after the jump.

This clip is set to a swear-heavy Ludacris track, so be advised.

For his posterizing, he received the Best Slammer award from a local TV station (along with a short interview toward the end of the clip).

Even better news about Frazier -- TexasHoops.com, which operates under the Rivals empire, recently ranked him as the #1 senior in the entire state. The TexasHoops.com site is premium, but you can see some of the running commentary about the ranking over at PennStateHoops.com.

I love the play at 0:40 in the second video.

Persistence, awareness. Good times. Can’t wait to see him in blue and white.

He's going to be fun.

But why does the other guy just stand there? I mean he doesn’t flop or anything…

What exactly would you do

when some 6’2" guy jumps OVER you?

Ed can recruit

We know that now, and we know he can lead this team to championships.

I just wish Cornley was coming back, I really enjoyed watching him play this season.

Off topic

I’m starting to think we may eventually reach the point where every video will be set to swear-heavy rap music. Should be fun.

Anyway, I think this has already been answered, but I can’t remember: is Frazier projected as a point guard?

Not sure.

I would say yes, but we kind of have a guy who plays that position. Ed throws a lot of combinations out there, anyway. If anything, maybe Frazier can give Battle a breather as a freshman.

Frazier is a pure PG

I think he’s only taken 8 3s so far this season. Battle is more of a combo guard than he is. Hopefully they groom Frazier to take over for Battle. He should be able to spell Battle for awhile and save him for later in the season.

Frazier is projected as a point guard

I can easily see our two big recruits this year Sasa and Frazier starting by the time the big ten season rolls around.
Moving Battle to the 2 guard…

I love

Getting kids that can dunk. For purely asthetic and selfish reasons. This year we lacked that, but we won so it was completely fine and awesome. However, having a kid like this that can throw down is like having Devin Hester on kicks or Ryan Howard crushing one 500 feet. Its just pretty to watch.

It is absolutely not needed, but again, it is fun

Yes, although...

…I’m going to miss Cornley’s awesome YMCA Over-40 league game.

Hahaha

That reminds of a time that a buddy of mine told me he hated the spurs because it was like watching grandfathers ball down at the YMCA. Awesome.

So like

Is Texas anywhere near the hotbed for high school basketball talent as it is for football talent?

They do alright in the urban areas around Houston & Dallas,

but football is King, Judge, Jury, and Executioner in Texas.

Preferrably Manny Harris

I don’t understand how he was supposed to be so great, he completely fell of the face of the earth 1/2 way through the year, just personal viewpoint here.
