How often does a bench player get invited to try out?

 

Who is a bench player?

I doubt it has ever happened but it did this year, Brandon Housely.

I am a huge Holmes supporter but was a little surprised to see Housely and Dom. Johnson on the list. I think the only Sr. Holmes had that should have been on this list was JaMel Riley, but I wish all 3 the best of luck.

Looking at the 40 selected: 6 players each from regions 7 & 11. Justified in that they are the 2 toughest regions in the state. 4 players from regions 9 and 2. Again 9th is justified although Dom Johnson even after watching Holmes 6x I'm not sure exactly who he is?? 2d region having 4 players and the 10th only has one (Middleton)?? Seven (7) regions have one player as they pick the region player of the year. Here is where I see Barrett Meyer's and Leonard Macon's slots going. There are a few players in that group I have never heard of and I follow HS Basketball fervently. Probably quality players just I haven't heard of them or seen them on the AAU circuit. Also from the 2d I had never heard of Walker from Lyon County.

Thanks for the information. This is where I think the philosophy or spreading the invites around the state is unfair to some really quality players that reside and attend school in higher population areas where there are a lot of good players. If we want to compete with Indiana, we need to get our 40 best players to the try out regardless of source.

Yeah AAU has nothing to do with this.

 

Another good player left off is Hatton from Clark Co. Hes played really well several times I have seen them play this year. Also Rash deserved an invitation as well.

I'm gonna take a stab at picking the 13.

 

Jon Hood

Darren Ballou

Wesley Cox

Chris Dowe

Vee Sanford

Eric Mosley

Chuck Jones

CJ Penny

Ethan Faulkner

Jacob Jenkins

Jordan Reves

Josh Crawford

Russ Middleton

 

 

I am leaving off some really good players I know. But I believe because of a need for big men some great players will be left off.

I will go with- from the guys currently listed:

 

Hood - automatic

Penny

Ashford

Faulkner

Faulkner

Donovan

D. Johnson

Reeves

Sanford

Riley

Dowe

Hudson

Rogers

Don't agree with this.

Also from the 2d I had never heard of Walker from Lyon County.

I suspect Walker was invited because of his size ... he's about 6-7, 230 or 240 so. He averaged about 20 points and 8 rebounds a game.

Barrett Meyer of Franklin County definitely needs to be on the list.

 

Absolutely. :thumb:

Meyer has been invited

I heard Meyer's just won the 3 point shooting contest at the ky-ohio all star

If its true, then outstanding work by him. I thinks it great thing Meyers got the opportunity soon enough to fill-in and he did it splendidly.

 

You would have to had thought that a shooter like the one in the clip below would have had a shot too. Hopefully Meyers will do it it again tomorrow. Congrats!
