Conner Jeffries of Henry County, B.J. Moore of Sheldon Clark is having a really solid week, Phil Barner of Mason County. Just to name a couple that I noticed tonight.

 

I thought Jomari Bradshaw from Wagner was attending this camp? Any word on him? He is ranked pretty high in the state as a senior.

I had the opportunity to see this evening's game featuring the Samsel kid from Manual against the Barber kid from Scott County. These two lit up the gym with both scoring over 40 points each against the zone D. Samsel drained a bushel of threes while the Barber kid hit threes, pull up twos and several put backs. I didn't keep track but Barber must've had 20 or more rebounds and a dozen assists. The best part was watching both kids go at each other hard, laughing, egging each other on and having a blast playing a game. This was a great show. :thumb:

 

I saw Barber play as a freshman when he was at Rose Hill and I thought he could be special. He has one of the sweetest shooting strokes you will ever see and you could tell then that his athleticism was going to make him a difference maker. When he, Euton, and Jackson left I thought he was the biggest long term loss for Rose Hill. I would be shock if he doesn't start for Scott Co. this year.

 

Granted I don't know much about Scott Co. but this kid is too good a shooter to keep on the bench. I was suprised he didn't play more last year.

:idunno:

40 points, 20 boards, and 12 assists? Wow. He has to be top 5 in the state in his class. Will he be Scott County's #1 option next year?

Scores 40 and gives up 50.

I don't believe Barber will even be in the rotation. Probably just a JV player. Definitely not a varsity starter.

What do you think overall of the camp? I have heard a lot of negative feedback lately about the camp. Therefore I am a little reluctant to send any of our team there. Several of the complaints have been there is a lot of dead time, very poorly run and disorganized and catered to only a few. One person said at moments it was a free for all at imes. Any opinions as these are from some counselors and parents and I am not there to see it first hand and have an opinion.

Triple double and can't start? Not to mention that he did it all while laughing and egging each other on just imagine if they were serious.

Understand all of Greenup Countys team was going. How are they doing? Did the whole team go?

My statement is not too discredit Barber at all -- just what I saw last year and heard this year. Now, having said that, taking one game that any player (Barber or anybody) and saying because of that the player should start at Scott County or any school. Any player can go out and put up those numbers at any time, especially in a summer camp. That's ridiculous to think that has any bearing on anything in relation to the talent or stature within a program.

You boys are funny. I reckon the workings of a zone defense are too deep even for the experts. Samsel played the point on offense and defense, Barber played the wing on offense and defense and some point on offense. Except a few breakaways and half court drives, neither one of these kids guarded the other much during the game. They both knew how to take advantage of a zone on offense though. Seemed like every time Samsel crossed half court, somebody yelled shoot it. He let several fly from 8 or 10 feet behind the arc. The laughing and egging on didn't happen until late in the game when Barber's team was up by 40 or 50. It was obvious these guys respected each other and were haveing a blast playing ball. I have no idea what either one of these boys will be doing for their school teams. Manual and Scott Co. are pretty deep, but I guaranty both of them would be starters and leaders on most other teams in the state. It's pretty sad somebody can;t give an update on some of the action from te camp talked about in this thread without people jumping in to disect kids playing a game. It makes me not want to post anything trying to give a kid props when I know its gonna draw out the naysayers with nothing better to do than pile on them.

Experts. Interesting. Samsel played point on defense. 2-3 zone now has a point. You're right, I need to brush up on my basketball intellect.:ohbrother:

 

I wish Barber luck this season. Look forward to his promotion.:thumb:

Congrats Curtis!

I've seen the kid play, the triple double is no fluke. Being at Scott Co. he is going to get noticed by some big time schools at the next level.

What year is he? I noticed that he was playing JV for Scott County at the KBA a couple of weeks ago.
