That's great! Very few players get that many offers before they begin their sophomore year. She must be an elite player. I'm always pulling for Kentucky players but hope you are not getting "offers" confused with "recruiting". Hope you are correct, but regardless she has accomplished a lot for an incoming sophomore!

 

No confusion on Offers and recruiting

Way to completely dodge the question.

 

You said Duvall is a "no doubt" top-10 player and ripped Bolus' list (who lists his first 12). Throw in Duvall and you have 13.

 

Which three are you pulling off the list?

 

Or instead of ripping a list, give us your own.

 

It's WAY EASY to say "this player should be added."

It's a lot HARDER to pull someone off and say she should not be on the list.

 

FWIW, I thought Bolus and Demling both had good lists.

 

Also FWIW, Duvall was not first- or second-team on any of the FIVE separate All-State teams last year.

 

So like I said, I question your "no doubt."

Mr. CK have you seen the Duvall kid play? I am curious what is your opposition to the Duvall girl. Since you like to pull subjective material, maybe you should look at the box scores of the games Duvall has gone against some of the Kids mentioned in this year and especially last years top ranked girls. Check match ups with Ruffin, Lawrence, Brewer, Brown

I've seen the highlights. Multiple ones in fact.

 

Read several articles on her.

 

Know about AAU and middle-school state titles.

 

She's played several teams in my area.

 

SHE CAN PLAY.

 

She will set several records.

She will play D-I.

 

I am not opposing her at all.

 

But you still haven't said why there's "no doubt" she's top-10 when SEVERAL people (AP, BGP, C-J coaches, H-L coaches and whoever picks the All-USA team) who said she wasn't last year.

 

There are plenty of good players in this state. More than a dozen go D-I each year.

 

Just because I'm not ready to put a player (out of 2,000) in the top-10 does not mean I have anything against a player.

 

I repeat: There are more than 2,000 girls varsity players in the state.

 

So do NOT get insulted when people say she's not in the top 00.5 percent JUST YET.

Duvall already has big time offers. Stanford pulled her transcripts this week. UK has already offered. UCONN has interest also. Notre Dame is also and will be in the mix along with every SEC school.

No insult taken....I have seen all the girls in person on the ranking list you refer to except for Thomas. They are all great players and I believe that the Duvall kid goes along with all of them. Maybe you can watch her in person in the future and then compare her to the girls on the list. I believe your response would be different then.

 

I would image some of the folks that have in fact produced the rankings unfortunately have not watched all the girls.

 

Good luck and look forward chatting in the future.

Great that she has actual offers. I never really heard of her but I am kinda out of the loop and will pay more attention now. Love to hear Kentucky girls getting offers from big time programs!!

So how does the duvall kid compare to the Sampson kid from sacred heart that got some mention earlier in the thread?

So how does the duvall kid compare to the Sampson kid from sacred heart that got some mention earlier in the thread?

 

Samsel. Not Sampson.

 

Samsel is a great shooter. 42 percent from 3 alone, 47 percent combined 2s and 3s.

 

Don't leave her open. Ever.

 

But doesn't get to the foul line much. Several players in my area (Ivy Brown, Alexis Brewer) took more FTs in ONE GAME than Samsel did the entire season.

 

Samsel not much of a rebounder, either (2.0 per game).

 

But she played hard both games I saw her. Smart. Doesn't make too many mistakes.

 

Duvall is a go-to player who has to do more for her team. Samsel I think benefited from open looks because teams were so worried about Merriweather and Ruffin. Be interesting to see how much Samsel's stats climb without those two.

 

Samsel is also 2 years older than Duvall. Samsel is a senior now, Duvall a sophomore.

 

I believe Duvall will land more scholarship offers and will go to a bigger school.

 

Not sure, if any, D-I schools have offered Samsel.

Samsel is a NAIA, D3 player, maybe D2 at best. Duvall is a BCS kid.

BCS?

Upper level Division I, I guess, using football terminology.

 

One big oversight is Jordan Brock not being listed anywhere. She will be the second ranked player in the 13th Region going into the season, behind only Morris.

I agree HDE she had a great summer with Kentucky Premier. This kid is a good one already with her best basketball ahead of her.

BCS?

 

Im guessing he/she is meaning one of the power 5 conference type kid. Major D1. (Which she is)

Hey HDE, I saw her last year with the Legacy team and she is agood player. There was another Brock girl on that team that was just as good if not more athletic. Are they related?

I'm not familiar with the AAU teams. I don't think Jordan would be related though. There's only one Brock on the Harlan team.
