According to this article from yesterday's Guelph Tribune, it would appear as though Mitchell Wood will be following in the footsteps of his older brother --- quite literally.
The article made note of the fact that Mitchell Wood (my 2009-10 CWOSSA Junior MVP despite being only in grade 9) will be attending the REDA program in Hamilton next year with his older brother, Connor.
Although this is another big blow to the Bishop Mac basketball program, both of these young men have tremendous upside and should be able to further enhance their skills under the strenuous training regiment at the academy.
Furthermore, both Woods have their eyes on postsecondary basketball scholarships down the road. The article also makes note that Connor (who is going into grade 12) has already gotten some looks from schools "both north and south of the border".
Good luck to both brothers going forward! We'll keep our readers posted on any future developments as well, of course.

Can you get more noticed in your talents in basketball if you take the REDA program or can you still get noticed the same if you were playing high school basketball
ReplyDeleteSince the program is still young (couple years old), I think the jury is still out on that question.
ReplyDeleteFor instance, Murphy Burnatowski attended and received recognition, ending up at Maine.
Meanwhile, Bluevale's Stefan Cvrkalj did not go that route but still has a lot of quality schools interested.
It can go either way.....personally, I like to see kids stay at their high school and contribute to CWOSSA basketball, but that's just me.
