3-pointers: L 3 (Richardson 2, Martin); H 5 (Riley 2, Pittman 2, J. Johnson).

K Arnold is going to be a really strong player in the next two years. For a kid with decent size (by high school standards) he is strong with the ball on the outside and in putting it on the floor. We saw that yesterday against Largo.

 

Arnold makes Holmes VERY tough to defend. At 6'6 he can play inside or out which creates mismatches against any defender. He'll hands down be the best player in nky his senior year.

What is Largo's record this season? They must be a pretty good team.

According to this they have only played 13 games with one not having score reported. They could be 6-7 if it was a loss, or 7-6 if it was a win!!!!!!!!!!

Jus saw that Holmes put a 20-4 run on Largo during the third and fourth quarter and started the 4th quarter on a 9-1 run. Largo was held without a field goal for the final 3:41 of the third quarter.

Senior guard Jamel Riley and junior forward Elijah Pittman had 16 points each as Holmes (17-1) defeated Largo (8-6), the defending Maryland Class 3A state champions, 69-62 in the South Laurel Hoop Fest on Saturday.

Honestly though, why does it matter what their record is? Anyone who actually watched the game yesterday saw that Largo is a very good team. They would be top 20 in KY.

Because right is right and wrong is wrong!! When Elliott played the other night the announcer said Elliott was 13-1 when they were actually 12-1 and I corrected him also. Just a habit I guess. If you posted wrong score or whatever I would bring it to the thread's:thumb: attention.

From Jody Demling's Blog:

 

Covington Holmes was very impressive in a 69-62 win over a solid Upper Marlboro (Md.) Largo team at the Laurel Couny HoopFest.

 

Senior guard JaMel Riley, one of the more underrated seniors guards around, led the Bulldogs with 16 points, four steals and three assists. Coach David Henley said Riley is hearing from a lot of junior-colleges and noted Morehead State us also inquiring.

 

Elijah Pittman, who is now 6-foot-7, had 16 points, six blocked shots and five rebounds. He said Xavier and Kentucky are the main schools recruiting him right now, noting there are a lot of others that have inquired about his services.

 

Ricardo Johnson hit 3 of 5 field goals and chipped in 10 points. He did miss some time in the first half with foul trouble. Johnson said Kentucky, Xavier, Oklahoma State, Mississippi State and Mississippi are in the mix.

I think Morehead could be a good fit for Riley.

I agree...I could see him contributing as a sophomore after picking up a little more strength and bulking up a little.

If he goes to a 4 year school, do you see him being a red shirt his first year.

Most likely. He'll need to put on some weight and get a little stronger. The skills and tools are there though. He'll be very successful regardless of where he ends up. He has an amazing work ethic.

If Pittman continues developing at the pace he has been that list will grow really, really fast.

 

Rico is a smart basketball player and he can get to the basket whenever he wants, he doesn't press the issue and lets the game come to him, there is a reason you are seeing some decent D-1's on his list, he is a player.

 

Riley is a great shooter, he as well lets the game come to him and any JUCO or small school would be lucky to have him.

 

I am also interested in what JJ's recruiting process is looking like currently :confused:. He is 6'4 or 6'5 but grabs boards like a 6'8 or 6'9 kid, he is a great on the ball defender, and he isn't a top scorer but if called upon he can fill it up as well.
