Who wrote the preview. The guy in the past was awful didn't even have some of the correct coaches on teams, was very half &*^. Not every coach gets a survey/email/phone call, just a few.

 

I don't know who was the contributing writer or which coaches gave input, I was just going by the knowledge this is done with a survey or solicitation of voting from the coaches. That is based upon an explanation from someone who was the person that put together another region's Cat Pause rankings.

Fact is rankings in pre-season are for discussion purposes for the interested fans. Games are won on the court and who goes to Rupp in March will be determined without controversy....unless the refs make a few bad calls.

I was surprised both Doss and Hall being so low. I thought both would be in the top 3 of their respective lists.

Yes, the rest of the region did not need Coach Williams putting that ranking on the locker room door to motivate his team. Two time defending champions deserve more respect, regardless of how much they lost to graduation. They proved that last season upon returning to Rupp a second time in a row. Coach William's first team that went to State lost many starters and then several contributing role players left that were to be counted on as future starters. The 2nd team was not ranked as high in part due to those losses of players, but also because no other coaches were aware of two out of state incoming transfers who became their best players last season. Those two players are now gone which leaves the question of whether there may be any new transfers to take their place in the line-up. Regardless there is still enough talent they should have been Top 3 and Jaylon Hall could easily have been Top 3 also as a player.

No slight to anyone; but Trey is not the best player in this region and Jaylon is certainly top 2 if not number 1.....and Doss should be ranked in the top 3....it'll all wash out in the end as they say

If his work ethic and motor matched his size and skill set then Pooh would and should be #1 on this list. And Curt is not even on this list. I can't take this list seriously.

Bullitt East at #10 is...........funny! :no:

I agree they are too low but on the surface they don't return much experience, no (consistent) starters, and not much scoring.

 

The Couch hire doesn't inspire confidence. He's done less with more even dating back to his Eastern days.

 

Having said all that, Bullitt East should always be top 5ish in the 6th. I'd bet they'll be a factor by region tournament time.
