Smith was a better high school player, surrounded by better players. I know Smith only played one year of college hoops, but Corey will be much better in college. Pelle won't have to face the double and triple teams in college like he did in high school. Corey still has room to mature physically and his best ball is in front him.

 

 

Smith didn't play college hoops because he was so good at football. Then he went to NKU after he had gained a lot of weight. He was better at Highlands at B-ball than he was at NKU. His size was a huge advantage over Pelle. Pelle isn't very tall and Smith was 6-6. Smith could also play guard with relative ease.

 

Does anyone know if Pelle is playing for Pelle's this summer in softball? He's a pretty good hitter.

Smith was an All-American in football and won the Student-Sports Grid-Hoops NATIONAL Player of the Year (for reference, Carson Palmer was 3rd team his senior year). He was runner up as Mr. Basketball as a Senior. In college, he was first-team All-SEC tight end as a Sophomore. Pelle is a very very good player. Smith is the type of athlete that comes along every 10 years. People are forgetting about how dominant Smith was and how well he played against the state's best competition.

This thread is not to compare Smith and Pelle two different type of athletes, this thread is to say congrats to Corey and best of luck on the next level.

West Liberty is my alma mater. There is a Campbell County wrestler from a few years ago that is wrestling at West Liberty. Good luck to Corey as a Hilltopper!

What can you tell us about West Liberty?

Congrats to Cory...Still can't get the credit he deserves sometimes. Best player I have seen play all year. Best of luck young man.

As a Silver Grove alum, I am so pleased to see this young man get the opportunity to chase his dream. I played with a number of great players from the Grove, but in my opinion, he is the best I ever saw play for the Green and White.

 

Corey, finish the deal. By that, I mean, use your athletic gifts as a springboard to obtain a college degree and do wherever it is that you choose to do in life. Congratulations and best of luck!!!
