Developing individual talent doesn't always mean you have to play with the best team, however. Look at Hood.

 

It helps though to play with a better team as you will be going against these players in practice and thus, you are able to improve yourself against better players. They will also, at least most likely, schedule much tougher opponents, thus improving yourself even more. There are lots of advantages of doing this. Hood defied this and was still able to show the talent he had.

Considered the best player in Ohio for 2011 and a sure fire 5 star kid. A rock solid 6'7" and about 225. Plays with great passion and aggression and dunks anything even close to the hoop. Worked really hard on expanding his game out to the perimeter this season to add to his skill set. He would be the force in the paint Holmes has been missing...

 

If he comes there goes my whole size explanation on how Highlands could beat them.:ohbrother: IMO if he comes, its two in a row for the Bulldogs. No one in the state would come close to beating this team.

Exactly, proving that you don't have to surround yourself with stars to be a great player.

To be completely fair though Hood has yet to prove anything on the next level. The kid is a very nice prep player and had a fantastic high school career but IMO before you say he has absolutely defied this logic he will have to prove it on the next level.

I am by far a Holmes fan but I think it would be cool if he went to Holmes. It would be really fun to watch a high school team with that much talent next year.

I've heard from two different people that he is already living in KY.

Success breeds success. If Henley didn't reach out to him, and the change of address is legit, then I don't see why anyone would have a problem w/ the exception of being jealous.

Funny that Scott Co. wasn't measured by that yardstick.

If this happens it will be interesting to see if Holmes is criticized the same way Scott Co. has been. This will be 4 transfers in 2 years. All 4 are big impact players.

With one big difference, given the Johnson brothers' situation.

I'm sure you didn't mean for the "If Henley...." to sound like it was a possibility.

Considering that they are transfers too.

Afraid not. They started high school at 1 school then switched to another school. Thus making them transfers.
