I upgrade him from being the best player in the region to the best player in the STATE! Don't understand why Timmy doesn't get the respect he deserves for being one of the best this state has to offer. The Lions will be right back in the hunt next year if the Ison kid improves some and the point guard situation is taken care of. Remember they will start two kids with height of 6'8 and 6'6 next year--impressive for high school ball!

 

Don't try to hype him up, there is no way he is going to be the best in the state or even in his class next year. He is a talented player with potential, but nowhere near the player your making him out to be.

 

This same type of thing happened last year with the big 3 from Elliot County.

People on here were saying Ferguson is the best shooter in the state, and Faulkner is the best point guard, and anouncing them as the state champs already. Its silly, what they do last year after all that hype, they lost.

From what I have heard this years team will be better than last years. My source says Nickell, Knipp, And Faulkner will be as good or better than last years trio. Ison will be stepping in where T Knipp was last year and some Fraley kid will be better than the older Knipp was. Looks like the EC fans may be doing a 4-peat.

 

Wow, is all I got to say about quote.

0 Cody Nickell Guard So. 12 Nick Lewis Guard So.

20 Daniel Fraley Guard Fr.

21 Timmy Knipp Guard,Forward So.

25 Ceith Griffith Forward So.

30 Seth Dickerson Forward Jr.

10 Craig Faulkner Guard Jr.

40 Jacob Ison Forward So.

 

The above is from the 2008 and 2009 roster for Elliott County

Nickell at the point, Knipp at Forward, and Ison at center with the rest fighting for the other 2 position. Elliott County won't be number 16 in the region next year and preseason they won't be number 1. But they will be in the hunt next year as the season comes to an end. This Elliott County team will be another fun team to watch. :thumb:

He may end up high division one but he is not there yet.

 

Simply put, I disagree.

You are joking right?:laugh: They may be able to contend in the 16 region but not any where close to last years team!

Better than last year = better than 32-3 (21-0 region, 8-0 district), state semifinal appearance.

Yep, I found my hip boots and not a moment too soon.:scared:

So you think he can play at UK, UL, UNC, Duke, UCONN or any other top school right now?

 

I don't think he can yet but he could after two more years of HS. IF he was able to then those schools would be offering right now.

Obviously right now, no he could not play at one of those schools. But what upcoming junior in the country could play major D 1 right now? Maybe I misunderstood your post, but I thought you was saying that he wouldnt be a high major player by the time he graduates. If thats what you meant, then I still disagree.

 

So with that said, yes, by the time he graduates I think he will have the option to play in a conference like the SEC, Big East, Big 10, etc.

Yea, no upcoming junior is gonna be there yet. But my point is, if you look at major d 1 players playing college basketball right now, and you could jump back to their junior year in his school, Knipp would compare to them. I guess what im trying to say he doesnt have to any make drastic improvements

I agree with what you say and take it objectively all the same, Timmy Knipp is a great high school player who will only get better with physical maturity in the years to come. Don't want to think it but wonder if some of the bashing of Timmy and it seems the whole Elliott team is jealousy for the success of the past four years. Something to think about!

I am not bashing. I loved watching Elliott County at the state and was impressed with Knipp's game. But he has a ways too go with his quickness and overall intensity to be Big Time Div. I.

Wasn't in refernce to you, your posts are logical and speak of the development aspect which are fine.
