Thanks, I'd say with his length he caught the eye of any coaches there.

 

 

Very raw offensive game. Someone needs to get him shooting a mature shot. Kid has potential.

All make mistakes, from Park Hills to Fort Thomas.

It was my pleasure to meet @Realreason last night.

My pleasure as well. Great place to watch a game:thumb:

This is true, his offensive game is far behind his defensive game. I think this will improve over the spring and summer as he gets stronger and puts in the work, and from knowing the kid, I can guarantee he will do that. Athleticism could improve as well, but again that will come as he grows into his body, he is only a sophomore. His future is very bright.

So, who's everyone's choice to win the 9th. CovCath has talent and tradition but Cooper appears to have a solid team as well. I assume those are the teams that most think are the favorites.

What other schools does CJ have offers to ?

 

Winthrop

New Orleans

NKU

Ball State

Miami Oh

Iowa

Wright State

Xavier

Indiana

Hoping CCH, but think Cooper will get it done.

It will be one of those two.

Or Dixie

The coaches and teams who have offered must think so and X, Iowa, and Ind are major D1 programs don't you think!

yep they sure are! Saw kid one time he was solid. But he was not best player on the floor. Wasn't even close honestly

It's the challenge you and I and others face who do not see these kids going up against top-level AAU teams in the spring and summer. Could be a host of reasons the ONE TIME you and I see someone that he wasn't the best player on the court.

 

College coaches aren't watching him play against Ryle or Moeller or....they're seeing him in person over multiple games playing against other top-level talent. CJ had a great spring/summer in 2016. Put up big numbers against top talent.

 

I've been there where you are with a player who I don't see often yet is getting love from D1. Heck, I've been there with kids I DO see a lot. College coaches watch with different eyes and watch often.

I think these two points are spot on. I have also seen several kids that are able to raise their level of play when playing against tougher competition.

 

Please don't take this as a knock on ANYONE... I am of the belief that in High School, you are not always seeing everything some of these players have to offer.
