I wanted to let you know that Jack Stewart is a up and coming big man for Highlands. I was disappointed I didn't get to see much of him this week-end down at the AAU State Tourney. What I did see, when he got in, was very promising. He looks well rounded on defense and offense a force to be reckoned with.

I had not seen him in a while and was very suprised how much he had grown. Nice size and quick with his moves. I liked what he can do on the court.

How big is Jack Stewart?

 

Stewart is about 6'5" or so. He brings nice things to the court. He is a good player and has good upside. He will do good things for Highlands I think. I think he does good things for the NKY Bulldogs. He gets a fair share of starts in my opinion at the 3 and/or 4 for them.

As I stated, not much of an opportunity to see O'Connor, but it would be hard to believe the defensive edge goes to O'Connor. Maybe give the blocking aspect of defense to O'Connor. But, as far as guarding an opponent 1 on 1, straight up, Stauffer does this pretty well. He can play under the basketball and step out and defend. He has a good ability to step out to the perimeter to defend. I watched him shut down Marcellus Barkesdale in an AAU game (not in season play). Marcellus was playing inside and out on the perimeter and Stauffer held him to 6 points (maybe 8), and Barkesdale can flat score.

 

As for the shooting touch, Stauffer is pretty good there too. Sure he may need to work on that a bit, but I think most big could use work there. He has a pretty soft touch from 15' too.

 

 

Who does Stauffer play for in AAU? High School team?

Stauffer plays for the NKY Bulldogs and Ryle High School.

Stauffer is a Stud. He is constantly working hard on the court. He seems to record good stats and refuses to be outworked. He will be a tops big man in NKY next high school season along with Earls, Geisler, O'Connor, Pittman (who will likely be the best), and any others you wanna throw out there.

Does anyone know if Zeke will be the guy in the post next year for Dixie? What does the competition look like up there for him? The kid appears to be real strong.

How did Jalyn Daniels of Clark County perform this past weekend at the State AAU tourney? I didnt get to watch much of Team Kentucky, how did they do? I've heard they are doing well. Good for them.

Speaking of big men in No. KY, I heard that Jake Thelen out of CovCath scored 17 pts. and had quite a few rebounds against Vinny Zollo's Indy Elite team this weekend. If this is true, that is good news. Congrats to the kid on a good game.

He did well. He has times that , you scratch your head and say WOW, then other times he isn't as active. This is something he is working on this summer in AAU. They showed him on Ch 27 highlights of the AAU and the dunk he had Saturday night. Very talented kid, and very well mannered. Fun to be around. A member of the loaded Sophomore class at GRC.

I am glad to hear he's doing well. He is one of the kids that I want to see more of. I hadnt heard much of him before I saw him in a game this AAU season, and he appeared to be very talented. Good luck and good will to the kid.

He started some last year when other players were hurt. He will be back up this year to Zollo, Purvis and Rogers. He would start at most schools, he is just part of this loaded Sophomore class at GRC.

 

Thanks for asking about him, great kid. :thumb:

Hard to have a big man list in KY right now and leave off Matt St. John from South Laurel. Between 6'8" & 6'9", appears to still be growing. Was South Laurel's go to man last year. Scouts or Rivals one had him listed as a top 10 big man in the country early last season for the graduating class of 2010. He averaged a double double last year, and had a personal best 32 rebounds in one postseason game. I am not sure if he is top 10 big men in the country, but he is definitely one of the best in KY.

 

South has the potential to have another even taller player in the next few seasons. They have a 7th grader (Helton) who is currently 6'6" and still growing rapidly. He is the cousin of former South Laurel PG Ty Proffitt. He is still uncoordinated, but as a 6'6" 13-14 yr old kid, I am sure that will come with time. He needs to be more agressive, but he surely will have the height.
