Looks like there will be some great B-ball in the Bluegrass state .

Scott County has 4 of the top 16 players on the list. That's scary!:eek:

Scary indeed...but it's easy to have that kind of stat when three of them are transfers.

It works out well when you get players like that that transfer in. Also it helps when guys like the Johnson boys and Housely transfer in as well.

:lol:

 

So even though the Johnson Brothers were originally at Holmes for 7th and 8th grade (Two Rivers), as well as their feeder Elementary schools, but leave for ONE year (9th grade), all of a sudden they're considered transfers when they come back?

 

As far as Housely, he might not pan out to be as big of an impact as some think...and I'll leave it at that...but let's just say people will be a little surprised when they see Holmes starting lineup to open the season Dec. 3rd.

I feel like Ross Middleton has been at Mason Co. for ten years. Did he start in the fifth grade?

:lol:

They did transfer back in though correct? It goes with having a great program recieving transfers. I believe Euton's and Jackson's parents both legally moved to Scott Co., so I don't see where the big deal is.

Probably, thankfully for the rest of the 10th region, it is finnally his senior season. He will be a handful this season.

Also, Elliott has 3 of the top 25 with Ethan Faulkner #11, Jonathan Ferguson #15, and Evan Faulkner #22. Not bad for a High School with 320 students.

And all three have been in Sandy Hook and Isonville since they were knee high to a grasshopper. SALUTE!!!

:lol:

The definition of a transfer is when someone goes to a school and then leaves and goes to another school. Therefore that is a transfer. :thumb:

It would really be scary if they were allowed to play with 3 balls simultaneously. Wow.

I know the definition. I'm sure you understand the point I was trying to make though. . :thumb:

 

On a side note, I really do look forward to seeing Euton, Jackson, and Guyn Dec. 14th against Holmes. Should be a real treat for us fans.

That's funny right there. I don't care who you are!

Just looking at the list players that IMO are ranked too low are:

 

Elijah Pittman

Ge'lawn Guyn

Josh Whitaker

Cody Miller

Shaquille Wilson

 

I won't comment on the ones I think are overrated. I really don't want to put down anyone. All the players on the list are very nice players.
