Steffen Green and Ceon Lucky are the best freshman Basketball player of this group at Holmes,

 

Haven't seen Lucky in person but have heard he is a freak athlete and absolutely rocked up for his age. Already built like Chris Englemon as a frosh.

I've mentioned Markel McClendon, Steffan Greene, Drew Arnold, Brandon Moore, and Brennon Englemon.

 

Only ones that would be left are Keyon (sp?) Lucky and Ian Brolley...unless there's a new frosh I don't know about.

 

It's Brolley.

It's Brolley.

 

PG?

PG?

 

I've seen him at the 1 or the 2 depending on who else (particularly Green) is on the floor. If I recall correctly, this past frosh season he usually defended other teams' PGs regardless of which position he himself was playing at the time.

Yep. He seemed to wear a different number on each team, but he maintained the same pigment throughout the season.

It's Brolley.

 

Who is he getting looks from? Will ne interesting to see how he is.used with Bolden, McClendon, Herndon, Green, and him essentially playing the 1 and 2.

Just one look as far as I know: Tusculum College, somewhere in Tennessee.

 

So with all the players you mention above plus Pouncy, Jeffries, and Englemon, "interesting" is an understatement. I'm sure the Holmes coaches will get the best out of all of them.

My guess is he starts JV and sees some varsity mins. Hopefully be realizes if he stays together with those other freshmen, they have the opportunity to do something special. Coach Booher and his staff are great coaches. They will find a way to keep all the talent happy.

Define look? You don't see a lot of D2 schools involved with freshmen outside of their geographical area much less one who hasn't played much if any above freshmen ball?

 

Who is he playing for this summer?

This is what I know: the kid played up two grade levels last summer with a Cincy team (Team One) that also plays a few Kentucky tournaments. It wouldn't be hard to imagine a smaller Tennessee school scouting a Louisville or Lexington sanctioned event, so perhaps they saw him there and thought he was a rising junior. They sent a letter, he attended prospects camp, and they have been in touch at some point this year regarding scholarships -- I'm not an NCAA rules wizard but I assume it's all on the level, and while it doesn't sound like what we call an offer, it does sound like what we call a look. Last I checked, he's playing with Team One again this summer but this time with a 9th grade team. I know he played a lot of JV at Holmes this past year and was a least dressing varsity.

Unless there have been changes to the D2 off campus recruiting rules they could not have sent him a letter without it being an NCAA violation. They cannot send him recruiting material until September 1 of his junior year. Just because a kid plays up doesn't release the staff of the responsibility to make sure they are not breaking the rules when sending out the recruiting materials. Same applies to phone calls as they are not permitted until June 15 prior to senior year at the D2 level.

 

As a freshmen he could have received camp materials but nothing else from the athletic department

 

Tusculum is not a small Tennessee school as they are a very good D2 school in a really good conference. It's really hard to be recruited to the D2 level.

Well, color me stupid. You obviously know your stuff and we can assume the college knows their stuff, so after reading your post I got very scared very quickly and immediately checked with a member of the kid's family. The last thing I'd want is folks getting in trouble over an ill-considered blog post. You are indeed correct, it was an elite camp letter -- it apparently used the word "prospect" somewhere in the blurb, but definitely not an athlete recruiting letter. The phone call was from college admissions, not athletics, but other members of the same AAU team got them at the same time, so either 1) Tusculum used the tourney roster for their general prospective student database, which I assume is totally kosher, or 2) it's just a coincidence.

 

Btw, I didn't mean to imply that Tennessee's oldest liberal arts college was "small" in stature -- the student enrollment is compact, so I simply meant that they probably have to do a lot of work without a ton of personnel.

 

Either way, I feel like a total idiot -- a well-intentioned idiot who just wanted to offer a local kid his due, but an idiot nonetheless. This is my second big apology of the week, so maybe I need to take a break and let more competent BGP contributors do their thing.

Welcome to the club.

Wow, a welcome from the club president! :lol2:
