So, the other day, the name Joshua Holloway popped up, related to basketball. Someone mentioned him, I think? Or maybe I saw it scroll by online. Anyway, it got me curious, you know how it is. I wanted to see what the buzz was, check his stats, see where he might be heading, that sort of thing.
My go-to move for this kind of stuff is usually one of those big sports recruiting sites, the one folks always mention, yeah, that 247 place. So, I fired up the computer, went straight there. Didn’t even need to think about where to go, it’s just habit now when I hear about a young player.
Alright, got to the site. First thing, gotta find the search bar. Usually tucked away somewhere at the top. Found it. Typed in “Joshua Holloway”. Pretty straightforward name, shouldn’t be too hard, I figured.
Hit enter and waited. Sometimes these searches are instant, sometimes they lag a bit. This one was quick enough. Okay, results page. Now, here’s where it can get tricky sometimes. Dozens of kids have similar names, right?
Looking Through the Results
I scanned the list. Was looking specifically for a basketball player profile. Sometimes you get football players, coaches, all sorts mixed in. Had to make sure I was looking at the right sport and, hopefully, the right guy. You check the position, the school year if they have it listed, maybe a picture if you’re lucky.
- Checked the sport listed: Basketball. Good start.
- Looked for details: Class year, height, position.
- Tried to filter out anyone obviously not him.
Found a profile, or maybe a couple that looked promising. Clicked into one. This is where you usually get the good stuff – commitment status, offers from colleges, maybe some scouting reports, rankings, that kind of thing. It’s like putting pieces of a puzzle together.
I spent a few minutes clicking around his profile page, if he had one. Sometimes the info is all there, clear as day. Other times, it’s a bit sparse. You might just see a name, a school, and not much else, especially if the player isn’t super highly ranked or maybe is younger.
In this case, I dug around for what I could find. Saw whatever details they had listed – maybe his height, weight, position, high school. Looked to see if any colleges were showing interest, any official offers listed. Checked if there were any recent news updates or articles linked.
Honestly, after poking around for a bit, I got a basic picture. You know, the kind of info 247 usually gives you. Whether he’s a top-tier recruit or more under the radar, which schools are looking, basic physical stats. It satisfied my curiosity for the moment. Didn’t spend hours on it, just wanted a quick update on this Joshua Holloway kid everyone, or maybe just that one person, was talking about. Got the info, logged it away in my brain, and moved on with my day. Just another quick dive into the world of high school hoops recruiting.
