My vote goes to Kunkel

Detorion Ware from Christian County has to be a finalist. He's been the best player west of I-65 by a WIDE margin.

 

He is a finalist.

He is a finalist.

 

I thought some were saying that a list would be narrowed to 5?

And I should revise my comments to say the best "senior". Tandy is the best player in region 2 in my opinion.

Cobe Penny in the 8th is a joke. There are 5 players having a better yr. I’d go with Fort from Collins!

 

Shame on you. Don’t take away that boys happiness. Coaches media and khsaa voted and that’s who won.

I will be SHOCKED if Taylor is a finalist when they are named.

 

 

You think "videogate" should knock him out of the running?

So, is there an announcement? Or did I miss it?

I think he was a long shot before the video. It makes it even longer for him IMO.

The announcement was just who made the finalists list from each region.

If you go watch Detorrian Ware for Christian County, you know you're seeing something special. He casually can get 30-50 in a game and it looks so natural to him. Colleges are starting to catch on and he's seen an uptick in interest over the last two months.

 

I think being in WKY and not having preseason hype has hurt him, but he has set so many records at Christian County high school, a school with a rich basketball history.

 

Kerry Stovall said he's the most athletic player he's ever coached, and that's a man that coached Anthony Hickey and Keith Tandy.

Somebody please confirm...Are there 18 nominees and then 5 finalist? Or are all 18 players finalist? What group or who is responsible for voting/selecting the ultimate winner?

 

I ask because Kunkel and Fredrick from the 9th region are both deserving of some consideration. Fredrick seems to be more likely the pick, but having a co player from the 9th region could hurt his chances depending on how voting is done.

Maybe that "organization" considers the 19 players finalist for Mr. Basketball but I don't think their list means anything as far as Mr. Basketball is concerned.

There has been only 2 Mr. Basketball winners from the 9th region and honestly I think it stays that way for this year.

Ware from Christian County is amazing. I think he is definitely one of the top seniors/players in the state.
