One thing I noticed and liked in the small Division last year was the ability to play kids up. Hopefully there will be some strong competition this year because of that.

Summit View won 7th grade boys

Who's gonna be the team to beat in the large school division this year 8th grade?

[katbird]

Beechwood 7th has no business playing in the lower divison. They also added Draud to the mix this year. The 8th grade added Caleb Jefferson who I saw was the #8 player in the country for his age group. I bet he never dribbles a ball in practice or a game for the 8th grade..

[Letsgetit]

Caleb is a great player but that was not the 8th player in the country that was for that D2 national tournament. I do agree though he should play freshman ball to get anything out of it. He will role in 8th grade small division

I heard that McGuire & Skinner from the NKY Legends are coaching the 8th grade BW team. If that is true, I bet that team will be the best Middle School group regardless of small or large division, especially if they allow a couple of their 7th graders play up on the 8th grade team.

I am not sure what I think of Middle School recruiting. Did Jefferson move to Ft Mitchell?

Doesn't have to live in Ft. Mitchell. Beechwood is an Independent School District.

I thought you did, my mistake if not.

 

Good for him on being ranked 8th. I hadn't seen that. I saw a post if he should have been or not above, but either way he should be proud and great recognition of a skilled player.

Looking forward to b-ball staring again. Conner has a couple of teams going at SOAS and NBN. My 7th grader this year is playing in the black top league in Erlanger...poor kid got destroyed by Maile (hope I spelled that correctly) and Draud. He was the leading scorer though so I guess that is something to build on going against bigger 8th graders.

 

I guess the question for the 7th grade upcoming season is will anyone beat Highlands?

Maile? You mean someone other than the Luke/Jake Maile bunch?

I wouldn't rule out the possibility of him playing JV and getting sub action at the varsity level before the year is out.

[Letsgetit]

At beechwood I could definitely see that happening. If it were a bigger school I think size and strength would be a big factor.

I know playing up factors depend on school district. At Beechwood, do you know if he is allowed to play Middle School 8th grade and play High School levels too?

I am curious because if what ABBPlayer said above about his AAU coaches are coaching 8th grade, it would be interesting to see if he moves up and doesn't play 8th grade.
