Yeah your right you know what you are talking about! Next time everyone ask frank!!!

Both CovCath and NewCath are in the same school system. If one school in the Diocese can't admit him for a reason then that goes for all the schools.

 

So if that is the case (I don't know because I know nothing about how catholic schools work) then just tell him to go to Newport. :dancingpa

Why would one school and one state tell him no?

All Diocese of Covington schools are under the same Superintendent (Michael Clines).

Why would one school and one state tell him no?

 

Academics or age? Should a prep school be considered?

My understanding is he moved to Ohio from ATL...tried to get admitted there. No luck. Looked at Covcath. Now Newcath.

 

Currently lives in Cincy amd plays for the Cincy Lakers (along with Jayden Sayles from Kings) aau program.

What is going on in Campbell County? Qryche gets the photo and Mexitucky is waaaayyy out of the loop on the NCC kid.

Does anybody have a name of the young man?

Anyone know why OHSAA won't approve? Makes me wonder if KHSAA will have any objections. Also curious as to what country he is from.

I can't believe that a while ago he was seen at CCH, and now he has been spotted at NCC, yet there is still very little information about him? Age? Grade in school? What country is he originally from? People have seen him pick up a basketball, what can he do with it? About the only thing that may not be known is his academics.

 

Someone said he plays for the Cincy Lakers? Can he play? What age group is the team he plays on? No NKY team has played his team or seen him play at a tourney?

Also, yes, there are more that may come into the area.

 

But back to something that may be an issue with this kid, some African countries are horrible at keeping birth records.

He is from an African country but I'm not sure which one.

I'd like to know how long he has been in the area, because almost everyone I have spoke to who is "in the know" with Cincy and Ohio hoops seems to think this is the kid that was at Clark Montessori at some point. Apparently there's two 7 footers with the same guardian..one at Clark and the other in Oxford. 8th and 9th graders.

 

From his open gym run with Newcath, I was told his hands need some work but he is very good defensively, calling out screens and knowing when to hedge, while also altering/blocking a lot of shots. Obviously dunks any time he has a chance and finishes decent.

He plays soccer; not a lick of basketball - yet. Barely speaks English.

 

What country?

Not sure the kid has actually enrolled at NCC. Looks to be a legit 7' tall. Understand he is currently a sophomore and will be a junior next school year. The name escapes me at this time. My sources tell me kid can dunk and make a layup. Would certainly be a project, but I too would question his eligibility and potentially age.
