I was at the full tryout. Only 4 players stood out as locks: Johnson, Green, Snider, and Martin. I liked McGraw from Western not surprised he made it. I thought Montrelle Little of Doss stood out as did the kid from John Hardin Williams. He played with a lot of energy. Honestly after that, all of the players were equal. They made shots and plays but really didnt standout. Had to be a tough decision deciding on the other 8. As far a Hatton, I thought he wasnt there. Someone pointed him out to me. He may be a great player and had a great career but did nothing I saw in the tryout to make the team. Looked like he was just going through the motions. I was sruprised that more Louisville kids didnt make the team. Two teams with Louisville kids won most games(Kelan Martin, Robert Shaw, and Caleb Longacre) (Snider and Cory Thomas team). Their teams stood out to me especially late. Thought Robert Shaw had a really good tryout. I really thought Troy Steward would make the team From Fleming Co. I did not like Tra Edwards from Hoptowns tryout. His coach was on the selection committee. Saw him the night before in Ohio allstar game and was unimpressive. All he did was drive and play out of control. He is talented. Not trying to pick on kids just an honest evaluation from the tryouts. I guess the question is Do one day tryouts do a fair job of picking the teams? 15 of those trying out paritcipated in the KY/Ohio game from Thursday to late Saturday night then had to be in Georgtown on Sunday morning. Several of those kids looked tired. Just an opinion not trying to offend anyone.

LOL. Hatton going through the motions. Must have been the first time you had to have seen him because he always looks like he's going through the motions, he has his whole basketball career. Probably wouldn't have been right to have 4 kids from the same AAU team on the roster. It's fine, I wish the players that were selected the best of luck.

Im sure he's a great player. He has the stats to back it up. All im saying its a one day tryout and he didnt stand out. Can say the same thing about Cory Thomas. Kid averaged 26 pts a game and looks like he's coasting. Again, should the team be slected on a one day tryout or should there be another procedure?

Sorry wasn't criticizing your post. Just agreeing with you about Hatton going thru the motions. Known him since the 3rd grade and he's always been that way and selfishly I would have loved to see him team back up with Snider, Green, and Cunningham one last time. Not sure if there is a better way to pick the team but I'm sure the selected players will represent well.

Didn't think you were I understood your comment about Hatton. A lot of kids are like that. The problem is in a one day tryout they don't standout. A kid can show up and play really hard and do some nice things to catch the coaches eyes and make the team over kids who have already proven they can play.
