It seems like next year will have the most D-1 players of any class for a long time. What players will be D-1 Players? This is not limited to next years class.

 

So far I have...

 

Bud Mackey (Scott co.) = Indiana

Darius Miller (Mason co.) = Wherever he wants

Scotty Hopson (UHA) = Mississippi State?

Shelvin Mack (Bryan Station) =

Jacob Jenkins (Manual) =

 

 

I know I'm missing some...help me out here.

Possible DI...

Aaron Morris-Madison Central

Tyler Brown-Apollo

Victor Moses-Henry Clay

Landon Slone-Paintsville

 

are 4 more that I think have a shot.

Nathan Novosel at Catholic and Taylor Stewart at Catholic for sure are D1 players. Possibly Jordan Smart as well.

I have had the opportunity to see up close each one of these kids play.

 

Aaron Morris- long, athletic, and has improved his stock by taking his game outside to hit the jump shot. He will turn heads this summer on the AAU scene.

 

Tyler Brown- Has the uncanny ability to get to the basket and make plays. Didn't hear a lot from him this season but had a good state tourney 2 years ago and played very well in the summer for Eddie Ford's Kentucky Hoopstars.

 

Victor Moses-This kid will be a steal for whoever picks him up. He has great hands and a big body. Doesn't seem to use all of his talent, not sure if he has bad knees or just won't. If he gets agressive this season and plays up to his potential he will make Henry Clay very difficult to beat.

Nathan Novosel at Catholic and Taylor Stewart at Catholic for sure are D1 players. Possibly Jordan Smart as well.

 

I have also had the opportunity to see these two players up close.

 

Nathan Novosel- Very hard worker and physical player. Needs to work on his outside game to make it as a D-1 player at the next level. 6'4 or 6'5 is a shooting guard nowadays. I do think he can do this and accompanied with his ability to rebound and find positioning he will make it.

 

Taylor Stewart- Very gifted ball player, 6'5 shooting guard with the ability to break you down off the dribble. Has had looks from UMass and Travis Ford. Needs to be able to step back and make the three point shot smoother, however, he is able to make the 15 footer very consistently.

 

11th region with all of these players will be very dangerous next year...Scott Co. will have their work cut out for them if they want to repeat.

I agree Novosel is too short to play post at D1, but has great ability to get his outside game where it needs to be. Wonder if his AAU team is playing him more outside so he can demonstrate he can play outside. Salsman will need to think about that in the winter as well. Who are the frontrunning colleges interested in him right now?

Arrez Henderson...height might be an issue but athleticism and talent surely are not. Plays with heart and desire as well.
