Basketball season for 2016/2017 should provide another exciting year. What should we expect from John Hardin? Remember, please be constructive.

I wish I knew...lol. They have the opportunity to be really good this year. The all time leading scorer in Matt Miller has departed; but most think that might be the best thing for this team. They will be much deeper this year with good talent. They are bigger and longer as well along the back line. They've added three really good transfers in PrinceWill Robinson (6'6 plays AAU with team vision), a kid from Central from Central Hardin, and Darrion Davis. These are really quality additions. Add in the return of Anthony Witherspoon and that's essentially 4 transfers who will compete for starting positions on the roster. They return one of the top 2018 kids in Mickey Pearson, who is just primed for a breakout season. He avg 16 and 10 last year. They moved to the 3 spot some this summer and he gave teams fits. At about 6'7 he has a very good skill set. He will come into his own this year. Devonte Guillory returns for his senior season; and if you saw him this summer he was played extremely well; he more than anybody benefited from Miller's departure probably. Coaches are expecting big things from him. Their biggest issue before the summer was depth at the guard position, but those transfers have answered those questions. They have the talent to be really good, to be great Pearson and Guillory will need to come through for them. The region should come down to John Hardin, Bardstown, or North Hardin. McCurry won't have excuses this year; this is his most talented team thus far.

Matt Miller graduating is a huge plus. He had a Mason Faulkner type of shot selection without anywhere near the shot making ability. John Hardin was hurt by him all year long.
