Agree or Disagree ?

Solid list but I'd put Morrow for OHS on the top 10 list before the Harris kid (Harris will be good thgh). Plus I'd take Miller over Holman if we're strictly talking high school production. Holman has the higher ceiling thgh.

1st five players on the list either played for HoopDreams last year, or they are committed to play with them next year.

 

This region finally has multiple (2 IMO) D1 prospects. It has been a decade or two since this has happened. Crazy to think that the top four kids on this list either go to Owensboro High School(Miller & Holeman), went to Owensboro High School (Marshall Griffith), or went to Owensboro Middle School (and was scheduled to go to OHS) Eli Wright. Owensboro should, by all accounts, be a top five teeam in KY this year.

I thought three of the kids on this list already have D1 offers?

You are correct. My mistake. Eli, Aric and Trace Young do have D1 offers. Not used to seeing that. That is one player from each of the senior, junior and sophomore classes.

 

Would be fun if that trend continues...

There is actually 4 in this region with D1 offers. Connor Wilson Sophmore Ohio Co has D1 offer. 2 other kids are being recuited by D1 schools Justin Miller OHS and Ben Moss Apollo

This is the best collection of talent in the 3rd Region maybe ever. But most definitely the best since 1997's class of Brandon Davenport(Morehead St.),Fred McHenry(Northern Iowa),Marc Salyers(Samford),David Phillips(Brescia University;NAIA AA),Kevin Greer(KWC),Bobby Zuerner(KWC),& some others I'm sure I'm missing. The 1992 class was solid as well with James Douglas(New Orleans),Brad Devine(WKU),Daviess Co had a kid that signed with EKU,& Bobby Higgs was a D1 talent but gave up basketball after Owensboro lost in the Semi's of the Sweet 16 to University Heights. I'd also add the class with Tyler Brown and Brock Moorman. And the year Patrick Sparks and Lamar Owen came out. None of those classes have players with the offers Holman,Wright,and Young will end up with though.
