Lawrence Co has a team playing in Chicago right now that is 4-1. I know they beat Hawaii + Alaska then split with Queens. My nephew Luke Trimble is now at Paintsville but used to play with them. That whole crew is good just not a lot of size.

Here are some of the ones that I have seen this year and their AAU teams. Not a complete list though.

 

KY Elite 14U - Jackson Davis

KY Elite 13U - Snoop Johnson, Trey Grundy, Teddy Ware, Shane Hall

Tar Heels - Brandon Hatton, Zach McNeil, Jalen Beal

Wolfpack - Brendan Stanley (12U), Nate Verst, Garrett Geiman, Tanner Moeves

Scott County 14U - Dylan Portwood

 

Of these, I think Jackson Davis has the most potential. He is already 6'5" with more to come. He is the son of former UK player Johnathan Davis.

Mustafa Diaw is back in Kentucky. He is back in Boone County and going into 8th grade. I saw him play last weekend against a 15U Cincy Bulls team from Ohio and a 16U team from Ohio. He was pretty impressive and is definitely going to be a player to watch for in the next couple of years.

From what I have witnessed which is mainly NKY players

Brandon Hatton

Zach McNeil

Dylan Portwood

Jackson Davis

 

I know last year Brandon and Dylan were one and two in the state.

I would definitely agree that Jackson Davis has the greatest potential at this age. His size and athleticism are impressive!

I don't believe this list has changed since the end of 2008 which was about seven months ago....b/c I believe that Zach McCormick is now playing with an Ohio basketball team...

McCormick is actually from Wilmington, OH so I am not sure how he was on this list in the first place.

I'm shocked by the lack of size of the kids on the Hoops Report list. Only 3 of them at 6'? I also think McNeil is a miss on this list. Lights out shooter with plenty of upside.

This is an old list from last summer 2008. There are 3 players who shouldn't be on the list any longer. Most are taller than the sizes listed.

McNeil, Moeves,Langford, Shane Hall, and Hall from Moss Middle (PG). That would make 15. That would be a nice list but I would rank them a whole lot differently.

Who is Langford? Where does he play/attend school?

[Anvil Head]

Langford plays for Clinton County.

I would definitely change the Top 15, although I haven't seen a couple of players but once or twice so it would be hard to rank an order. But, by the time these kids are sophomores, 1/2 of the them probably won't be on the Top 15 list anyway.

 

But, at this moment, you would have to add a couple of the Louisville Legends big kids -- Craig (he played in nationals with KY Elite) and Kaelin (sp?). Not sure of either of there last names. Plus, Derek Smith All Stars had a 3 man (I think from Louisville) that was real strong and athletic in the AAU state, but I don't know his name.
