Class of 2010 rankings

 

It's the class everybody has been talking about for a number of years in the state of Kentucky - the Class of 2010. There is plenty of talent in the group.

 

In fact, there's so much talent it's hard to rank them.

 

In doing these rankings, I had four different players in the top spot and had to settle on somebody. I have seen the top 15 players on my list dozens of time.

 

But that still didn't make it easier.

 

Here are my rankings:

 

Ge'Lawn Guyn (left), Scott County, 6-2: A big-time scorer who can run the show. He's talented, has the swagger and the colleges are coming at him in droves.

 

Ricardo Johnson (right), Covington Holmes, 6-4: Johnson showed his stuff last year at the Sweet 16 and only got better over the course of the summer.

 

Dakotah Euton, Scott County, 6-8: Expect him to average a double-double with his new team; Euton can shoot it from anywhere on the floor.

 

Aaron Cosby, Jeffersontown, 6-2: He's been ranked by some as No. 1 overall and might be, but I want to see him playing high school again. He's so talented that he'll likely move up when he becomes eligible after his transfer.

 

Chad Jackson, Scott County, 6-4: Still needs to work on his point guard skills, but he's so athletic and talented.

Not sure I agree with Sewell over Pittman. I saw Sewell a few times over the summer and wasn't all that impressed with him.

 

I'd also have Cosby ahead of Guyn and Euton.

^ Maybe now, but I'll take Pittman's upside. By the endo of the season, Pittman will be all-state

Its a Louisville paper what do you expect.

True. I also have to agree with Skunk in that I'll take Pittman's upside over any of the other players. IMO Euton, Guyn, and Jackson have already peaked. Pittman is still somewhat raw in his game.

 

I think by this time next year, we'll be talking about Cosby and R. Johnson as the two best players in the state for 2010.

You have got to be kidding me. To say that any junior has peaked makes no sense what so ever IMO.

Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree then.

Okay I have to move along.

 

As far as the rankings go, I believe the top 9 are all very good and I could see everyone of them playing D-1. Its so hard to put them in a certain order IMO, because they are all so talented, (even though 3 of them have already peaked :lol:) but no one seems to be head and shoulders above anyone else.
