Does anyone know anything about this fine young player from Paintsville? I remember hearing at the Lexington Catholic tournament that he was going to Morehead State (that may not be true - just heard it), but then UK was checking on him as well. Anybody have any current news?

I have heard that Uk and UofL both offered him a spot as a preferred walk-in

He might be a better player than a walk-on a Kentucky. He could definitely be a star in the OVC or Southern Conference.

I have heard (no confirmation yet) that MSU has another top 30 recruiting class in the works for next season. I'm not sure who any of the potential recruits are, though.

You have to realize how absurd this reads....

You don't have a top 30 class with unknown talent...

A star? I don't know if I agree.

 

A contributor? He certainly has a chance to be that.

I didn't say it was unknown - I said I personally don't know.

 

They have a 3-star player signed for next season named Stever Peterson. That is according to Rivals.

In today's recruiting wars, in a top-30 class a 3-star player has to be a member of the supporting cast.

I'm saying I know. They have nothing close to a top 30 class...

UC is just outside the Top 30 with 2 4s and a 3...

Cool. It looks like the Peterson kid will be a good one.

Rumors I hear in the 15th region are Morehead, Marshall, Georgtown, EKU and maybe a couple more have all offered scholarships. If he decides to go the walk on route I have heard Lousiville, Arkansas, and UK. John Pelphrey may be using his connections with these schools to help Landon out. I think he would love to be at UK like a lot of Kentucky kids. Landon is very good player and has shown this outside of the mountain area which to me is important. In my opinion he is much better than any walk on UK has on its roster now. He has the body, the IQ and the shot to possibly be someone like Cameron Mills if a college coach wanted to use him that way. I have read that UK has invited Clark Stepp from June Buchanan to a game and a possible walk on spot. I have watched both play throughout their high school careers and I would much rather have Landon. To me he is a much better and fundamentally sound player and has much better attitude. Stepp has been pampered by family coaches and his numbers have been padded at the expense of his teammates. Landon has been pushed hard by Bill Mike Runyon which will help him in college.

Slone is a great player and will be at the next level, no matter where he goes. If he walks on, then give him a few years and he would be a major contributor on any Division I College basketball team. If he goes to a OVC school or Southern School he will become a top player on that team in his first or second year.
