Call me biased but I am taking Hagen Tyler over Ronnie Carson 8 days a week.

How does he compare to Pelle?

 

He doesn't. I've seen them both play and I would not dare to compare. Pelle was a rare talent.

Haven't seen Billy Miller play, but I would have to think if he deserves to be on this list, his name would be more recognizable than others in NkY. Want to see him play this year.

Timmy Taylor by far top pg guard in class of 2015 hands down.

Tell me more about him. Bolden has an offer from X. That is tough to be better than.

Timmy isn't better than Bolden or Justice. Not even close really. He may be deserving of mention in the top 20 for argument's sake but I'd take Jacob Conway over Timmy without thinking.

I have coached both over the summer.I have seen both strengths and weakness..jacob Conway over Timmy. Conway has a lot of upside Timmy is the real deal. He has a few schools sniffing his trail. I would say may more once season start. Excellent BB I que..ball handler..create own shoot as well as making others around him better. With the statement Jacob over Timmy u lose credibility with bolden and justice. You must watch him to see what I see..Timmy Taylor best pg class 2015 in ky

The kid is just the real deal.His offers will come. I have seen many point guards in and out of his class. He still gets the nod. I will go on the edge and say for those that think snider is top guard in 2014. He is on that caliber if not better.

There's no way to say this without sounding very disrespectful, but if he were at that level he would be playing for a better program than Young Life. He would be playing for the Travelers, Magic, etc.

 

I agree with PP on the idea that Conway is the better player of the two.

Glad u responded after our ATL trip travelers contacted him to be starting PG he declined and for the Magic we didn't meet up but it would have been a battle with young life coming out on top...again Conway and Timmy played for me..timmy still gets the nod. Conway has grown and will play D1 basketball. Timmy is that diamond in the rough.. Don't hate on young life cause 2014..we will get that state title..2013 fell short. As coach I will take blame for not claiming 2013 title. Timmy Taylor 2015 jus watch..

Playing for Travelers or Magic don't make you good..Young life played in just as many high profile tournaments as Magic..cost to play for magic $600 Young life $0. I take a different approach go after players that can play not just the hype..Magic had to combine 15 and 16 cause players quit..ask Young life players there experience family..loyalty one click..that's y they stayed when they got call from Travelers..2014 Young life even better..remember this post..and by the way Timmy Taylor best PG 2015

Young Life do you think Dwayne "Waynie" Sutton from Manual deserves some recognition as one of the top players in the class of 2015? I know he had a great year for Manual as a sophomore leading them in scoring(11.5) and rebounding (8.5) last season. He had at least 10 double-doubles if not more as well as being an excellent defender.

I have neither heard of either kid, maybe they are division 1 or maybe they aren't division 1 I will refrain from comment because I honestly dont know haven't seen them.

 

However, why is everyone "d-1" now or he will play D-1. Over the last 10 months on twitter, boards, etc people have become ridiculous. If you read twitter you would think that each class in Kentucky has 20-30 division 1 basketball players, that isnt the case. Everyone is d-1. Just cause a college mails you a division 1 letter or calls your coach doesn't mean your d-1. College coaches call in on a kid to check him out, will evaluate over time, but one phone call doesn't mean d-1. When a college offers , then they are recruiting you, whenthe college calls about you, they are evaluating you, HUGE difference.

 

At times it is almost embarrassing the unrealistic knowledge that some have. I know one in state college staff extremely well and one member is a very good friend talk daily, outside of a basketball relationship, personal. I know every kid they offer, who after, etc and we will laugh at some of these interviews the student-athletes do or that some writer or coach will put on the internet about a school is recruiting me, was at all my games this summer, etc. and the kids won't get a sniff.

 

Elite camps invite a whole lot of kids, when they are really evaluating about 4-6 kids they actually have on campus, the rest are there for the run. It is great to have goals and good that everyone wants to play division 1 but the reality is there is only about 1500 division 1 basketball scholarships given out every year across the country, in the past 6-10 come from Kentucky kids, a special class is 12-15 and that is a class that is once in five or ten year class. It isn't all of the sudden going to change overnight and 40-50 kentucky kids get scholarships to division 1. Look at Kentucky population as a state, it is equivalent to some metro areas, Baltimore - D.C ., Philly etc. 5-15 kids a year is what those areas put out every year so Kentucky is holding their own with rest of nation based on population, actually probably more than holding their own.

 

I hope 40-50 can get division 1 scholarships, but at a point and time you have to be realistic. There aren't enough people that are just point blank honest with parents and players. My opinion, the 2014 class is a good deep class, will have 12-15 division 1 players in it maybe a couple more, a rare and special class with depth. 2015 and 2016 neither class will have over 10 division 1 signees. My opinion might be wrong but that is just my opinoin.

 

The two mentioned here, Taylor and Conway, I don't know them they might be division 1. This isn't nothing on them, this is in general. Some kids that come to my mind over the last few years off the top of my head that never received a division 1 scholarship offer out of high school are Mason County kids. Trevor Setty, Russ Middleton and Jordan Gilbert. Everyone of those kids could play, two of three could have probably got a division 1 offer but if they played now, they would be hyped so high in reality they didn't any d-1 offers. Setty blossomed late in college and is now playing professionally over seas, just goes to show you how hard it actually is and d-1 isn't always the best place. I am sure Setty doesn't regret going to Pikeville and playing in front of 6-8 more times the fans he would have played in front of if going to a small d-1 in the MAAC for example. Kentucky Wesleyan will have larger crowds on average for their home games than a third d-1. Cause you are special at age 10 , 12 etc doesn't mean you are in high school and there are late bloomers everywhere/. Same around the state, there are going to be someone out of each class come out of nowhere that none of us mention to get a college scholarship to a d-2, NAIA or maybe even d-1. Wherever your scholarship is it doesn't matter, the goal is to graduate college at age 21, 22, 23 and be debt free. If you have did that, you have succeeded and owe all the people that helped you along the way a big thank you.
