4 Quarters Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I guess HS basketball is turning into the three and done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoops Junkie Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 This seems to be a growing issue, with a number of talented kids leaving Ky for prep opportunities. It looks like it is much bigger than Ky though. I did some quick looking at the 2023 ESPN top 100 and from what I can tell 40 or so are at prep schools or will be this going season. I support the kids and their decisions if it really is a better opportunity, but I hate it for the schools they left behind that built programs and game plans around them, along with the excitement of HS basketball in general. I am not closed minded and can see the benefits of being at a prep, but lost is the comradery of a team and support of a community. Anyone else have any thoughts? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really question the ability of some of these of these kids playing at that level. What ever happened to the old school saying, if you can play they will find you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was amazed by the 11 assists a game though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5-oh Posted March 12, 2023 Share Posted March 12, 2023 Someone who knows better than I; why do we have no Prep schools in KY? Is that considered a “charter school”? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may not work out for everyone who goes the prep school route. (Gabe Sisk came back to Ballard mid season.) But nothing in life works out for everyone all the time. Kentucky kids Zee McCowan,Kaleb Glenn,& Kaden Magwood had really strong years in the prep school realm. Salute to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
