Why do you care so much about a person playing summer ball? What difference does it make if she plays summer ball or not ... she plays for Paris and could careless about playing summer ball but that doesn't make her that less of a player.

 

She plays other sports and she excels in the classroom and that's all that matters ... playing AAU basketball doesn't get everyone a college scholarship!

 

Have no issue with her not playing summer. Coach Josiah hyping her as a top 5 player in the whole region though, that’s why all the questions. Hard to imagine a girl “guaranteed a D1 scholarship” passing that up? Over a hundred thousand dollars to be had for playing a game but “no interest”?

So know your throwing shade on Creech...who is making noise out of KY in college? Creech made all tourney team as a soph at WKU...You seem to be intelligent but unwilling to get my point...I've said in every language known to man that she cares nothing about college ball but if she did you would be on here singing another tune...she plays ball from Oct til Mar and anyone with 2 eyes or 4 would say who is this? We play the heavy weight Bishop Brossart in the All A Tues...Would love to reserve you a court side seat.

 

Creech is an “example” I’m using to make a point. Has nothing to do with her average college career at an average D1 school.

Yes stats may be inflated...were talking apples to oranges here...Creech was a household name because of all the points against subpar competition I'll give you that but the young lady knew how to play the game...Zoe plays to be playing and like I've stated over and over if she was serious about basketball she would go D1 easily....you can't teach length and athleticism you can only enhance it.

 

I am totally great with you hyping Zoe as a good player. But you seem to overstate her relative to the other top players in Kentucky. Is there any statewide ranking that even has her in the top 100? Any All-state honors from coaches?

 

Again, I’m sure she’s a good player. And sounds athletic, how tall is she?

 

Can you answer my question posted above though? Over a hundred thousand dollars to be had for playing a game yet she’s just not interested? Especially for someone coming from a small school, how can she pass up such a chance? It just makes it harder to believe your statement “she would go D1 easily”.

As I stated, my fiance is an assistant coach and gets the 10th region rankings weekly in all categories, but there is also a guy on twitter travis scaggs that posts stats also. To address the college opportunity issues, some kids don't want to play on the next level, offered or not, especially when you can get everything paid for academically. She skipped a grade and has already scored extremely well on her ACT. She played summer ball one year in her life in 2018 and played for Central Ky Storm. She was the second leading scorer in the inaugural Jr NBA Midwest regional averaging I think it was 27pts per game. Ball just isnt life for her, academics are.

Also noted, Zoe Strings looks to be the only player ranked in EVERY category in the region....interesting.

Haha ok. But if Mallory, Kylie or Jalyn played the schedule Strings plays and or were the only really good player on their team like Strings all three would average more ppg, steals, assists than Strings IMO. Who you play against matters a lot IMO

By the way, there are not a lot of players listed on the assists, blocks and steals category cause a lot of teams don’t turn in those stats. Kentucky has no official place to report those. So being in the top 5 OUT OF FIVE is nothing to post about

Thx. I didn’t realize all those stats were kept. I’ll be honest I have not had the local paper in about 15 years.

Good thing you are not a college basketball coach because all you would recruit are players that play at bigger schools and on summer AAU basketball teams. It's not about who you play because if she was on any other team in the region, she makes them better just like the players you mentioned would make a team better. I support the 10th Region, you support Northern Kentucky ... and big schools .. oh well, Zoe thinks academics first and ball second and until you can understand that, well, you will keep hating on her and small schools!

LOL now you are talking my language but not listening to what you are speaking. Do you not see that 3 OTHER Ladyhounds are ranked in the region in points??? Check out all the other categories. Not sure how you are breaking down this game, but if Zoe was all they had, she would average at least double what she is now. If she was all they had, they wouldn't be 14-1. 4 of their starting 5 average double digits and their 5 is right behind averaging 8.5pts which is the point guard.

You are speaking of schools not posting.....the ones you are mentioning to be so great in the 10th are. You have GRC, Campbell, Brossart, Scott. That's why they are on that list, this is a 10th region list, not state wide.

Is this a joke? Please name one D1 coach that doesn’t recruit ONLY players this way. Please name one D1 player who did not play either AAU, big school or both.
