Plato, I won't tear your picks up...though I imagine people will mine. I had to take some liberty with specific positions and I have seen everyone of these guys play in person. Also, I too am going to take the high road on Hopson. Here goes:

 

1st Team

PG -- Shelvin Mack, Bryan Station

SG -- Clark Stepp, June Buchanan

SF -- Michael Sparks, Tates Creek

PF -- Darius Miller, Mason County

C -- Dakotah Euton, Rose Hill

 

2nd Team

PG -- Chad Jackson, Rose Hill

SG -- Jonathan Ferguson, Elliott County

SF -- Trevor Setty, Mason County

PF -- Aaron Morris, Madison Central

C -- Victor Moses, Henry Clay

 

Honorable Mention

Any two players of any position

Chris Owens, St. Patrick

J.D. VanHoose, Paintsville

 

I have never seen these two play, but have heard some GREAT things on them.

I will throw one out there for others to tear to shreads (but not post their own...)

 

PG - Shelvin Mack - Bryan Station

SG - Taylor Stewart - Lex. Cath

SF - Darius Miller - Mason Co.

PF - Aaron Morris - Madison Central

C - Victor Moses - Henry Clay

 

2nd Team

 

PG - Faulkner - Elliott Co.

SG - Tyler Brown - Apollo

SF - Michael Sparks - Tates Creek

PF - Nathan Novosel - Lexington Catholic

C - Jordan Stephens - Montgomery Co.

 

Honorable Mention

Any two players of any position

Richie Phares - Scott Co.

Josh Clark - Montgomery Co.

 

*no I wouldn't pick Hopson.... he's been selfish and lazy all three times I've watched him play during his career.

 

** Yes, I am a Montgomery Co. fan - and proud of it :lol:

 

No Jordan Smart?

No Jordan Smart?

 

I wouldn't sweat it. Smart is heading to play for Vandy in the SEC. The list are based on fan favorites and not necessarily the players that will be playing mid or high major hoops when they graduate. My guess is Smart would rather play D1 hoops in the SEC rather than be on this list.

I will go all juniors only and compete with these teams:

 

PG Evan Faulkner 6-1 (Elliott)

WG Jacob Jenkins 6-4 (Manual)

WG Jon Hood 6-6 (Madisonville)

PF Leonard Macon 6-5 (Danville)

C Richie Phares 6-7 (Scott County)

 

2nd Team

 

PG Russ Middleton 6-3 (Mason County)

WG Jon Ferguson 6-2 (Elliott)

SF Steven McFarland 6-4 (Boone)

PF Darrin Ballou 6-7 (Adair)

C Garrison Collins 6-9 (JBS)

 

Reserves

 

PG Ethan Faulkner 6-1 (Elliott)

SF CJ Penney 6-4 (Anderson)

PF Josh Crawford 6-4 (Corbin)

QUOTE=OYPreps;2552537]Scotty Hopson would need to be on any list with over a dozen D1 offers. Jon Hood (Madisonville) and Jacob Jenkins (Manual) both have 6 - 8 D1 offers apiece and should be on the list too.

Where have Hood and Jenkins' offers come from?

A partial list for Hood includes (UT, WKU, UK, GA) Jenkins recently picked up (Wisconsin, Butler U, Dayton) and several more schools have been to Madisonville and Manual in the past weeks.

Russell didn't do much against Boone. I think McFarland won that matchup. He has already been just shy of 2 triple doubles in the first 5 games.

Ratings are ratings and they all seem to be different but heres my opinion.

PG/Shelvin Mack/Bryan Station

SG/Landon Slone/Paintsville

HM 2

PG/Ethan Falkner/Elliott

Sorry I had to many in mind to just list two.

I wouldn't sweat it. Smart is heading to play for Vandy in the SEC. The list are based on fan favorites and not necessarily the players that will be playing mid or high major hoops when they graduate. My guess is Smart would rather play D1 hoops in the SEC rather than be on this list.

 

Let's not blow it out of proportion... Smart is walking on. I like the kid's ability to shoot the ball, but athletically???SEC???

 

2nd Team

SG - Tyler Brown - Apollo

 

:thumb: Underrated player who deserves to be on every list. Any Owensboro people know where he may be headed? 6"2+ player with his shot and athleticism is a rare breed in these parts.

Tyler Brown signed with Morehead State few weeks ago.

Is Henderson from Holmes getting any offers?

:thumb: Underrated player who deserves to be on every list. Any Owensboro people know where he may be headed? 6"2+ player with his shot and athleticism is a rare breed in these parts.

 

He's had a pretty good start to the season. The Eagles are 5-0 and Tyler is putting up 22.4 ppg.

Ratings are ratings and they all seem to be different but heres my opinion.

 

You are definately right there. Especially on a messageboard that is dominated by eastern and central Kentucky posters. The only true opinions lie with college coaches and they disagree for the most part.
