Irish Cat Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Has there ever been a High School player from Kentucky ranked in the Top 10 of their class nationally? That is not a smarty pants question. I am interested to know how many times a HS kid with KY ties has made this type list. (For that matter also MADE a USA Basketball squad, not tried out). Pretty sure Rex Chapman fits the criteria.

Rez Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Has there ever been a High School player from Kentucky ranked in the Top 10 of their class nationally? That is not a smarty pants question. I am interested to know how many times a HS kid with KY ties has made this type list. (For that matter also MADE a USA Basketball squad, not tried out). In the 70s and 80s it was not uncommon for Kentucky to have a top 5 player. In the first 17 McDonald's All-American games from 1977-1993, there were 11 Kentuckians that played. Tony Kimbro, Rex Chapman, and Allan Houston were all on the 5-man USA Today All-American First Team. As was mentioned, Darrell Griffith was considered by many the top player in the country. Wes Unseld was also highly regarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circuscards Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 I would have thought that Zion would end up at prep school. Is he for sure staying at Bowling Green? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KY Hoop Dirt Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 Any update on Zion Harmon heard a rumor but I'm doubting it. One wouldn't think any decision would be made until the Purples name a new coach. Have heard a few rumors out there as of late, a few interesting ones on different in-state schools, some expected some un-expected even though the assumption by all has been Bowling Green or prep school. Essentially Harmon has his choice being that even though he has played varsity your eligibility isn't established until you begin your freshman year like Quentin Snider for example. He played at Fern Creek as an 8th grader and was able to transfer to Ballard as a freshman or Cole VonHandorf at Villa Madonna to Cov Cath.

Sportslover32 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 It will def be interesting and this is one I have a feeling we are going to hear plenty of schools but if I had to guess I'd say BG or Prep School is right. If he went to where I've heard for him it wouldn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sportslover32 Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 No doubt about that whoever has him has one of the best players in the state even if he's only going to be a freshmen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
