What I love about this site....good debate, this would be a great one too. Your thoughts?

 

Congrats to all those that made it. Lots of great talent across the state.

Congratulations to all of the boys that made the team. No real surprises on who made or missed the teams. After the first dozen or so 'locks' there were so many others that could have been chosen. I was speaking to some coaches about the selection process. Every kid gets discussed about his potential. I'm sure reputation has something to do with the choices. But they have earned their reputations by what they doing during the season or during AAU. I know as I sat there I immediately knew the names and faces of certain kids and others I probably never knew they were there. The senior portion of the program included pictures of the kids, the junior portion did not and they had issues with jersey numbers not matching the grading sheets. This could have hurt the chances of a lesser known kid, but as mentioned, they did a great job, overall, of selecting the teams.

 

Once again congratulations to the boys that made the tryouts and especially to those who made the team. Now go kick some Indy butt!:thumb:

I think the juniors are better.

I think the juniors are better.

 

Agreed...loaded.

 

As good as they are though, IN might still be better. 5 kids in Rivals top 150, led by Jaquon Lyle and #3 in country, Trey Lyles.

I think the juniors are better.

 

Agreed.

 

Congrats to all the players! :thumb:

When and where will the Juniors scrimmage the Seniors?

Let's hook up and make that trip together.

Anyone know why Hicks didnt' have to try out?

He was on a trip to Boston College, where he signed.

Let's hook up and make that trip together.

 

 

If the timing is right then that's a plan.

Nice honor for Junior Brent Bach and another highlight for the good folks at Augusta this season, to have one of their own chosen for this prestigious unit.

Did Nick Ruthsatz try out for this team?

Yes.

Along with Hatton (Dixie) and Trentman (Brossart) from the NKY area. Holbrook (Campbell County) was invited, but never attended?
