Should be a top five team in Northern Kentucky but have some questions.

 

Replacing a 3 year starter at the PG position in Ahern. Does McLeish move to the point and if he does move to the point does that take away from his opportunities to score?

 

Are the other options at the point like Stinson, Mullins or Perkins ready to take over?

 

Is Nichols going to play his senior year or just focus on getting ready to play PAC 10 football?

 

Stauffer is a nice player and could develop into a top 10 player in Northern Kentucky along with McLeish.

 

Coleman had a really nice summer shooting the basketball and if he continues to shoot like that for Ryle that would give them a nice inside-outside ability to score the basketball.

 

For his grade level, Stauffer is all ready a top 10 player in NKY, and likely top 5. He may be a top 10 player in KY allready including seniors. I mean, can you name 10 that are decidely better? If so, it would be arguably. By the time it's all said and done for this kid I would say we'll be talking about him being a top 10-15 player in the state.

Really like the Stauffer kid alot. He has lots of upside and will be fun to watch the next couple of seasons. If someone steps up and becomes a solid PG for this team, then IMO they can be really good. I have my reservations about McLeish being the point?? I look for Ryle to battle it out with Conner for a regional berth.

 

I like McLeish, think he will be a really good player for Ryle this year. If he runs the point, which it appears he will, he'll be the oil that makes the machine run smoothly. He can do it.

In full agreement with you. Post was not meant to say ONE negative thing about anyone. Like I said, I did not want the post to be misconstrued. Should of just found a better way to say that Conner should be competitive this year with losing an impact player. Let me make if very clear, Avery is a great kid and a VERY good basketball player who should have a very positive impact at Holmes. Was not trying to air any dirty laundry.

 

I dont think your post was airing any dirty laundry at all. I have heard this as well. All though, it is just speculation. Avery is a FANTASTIC player! The kid can be lights out and can get to the rim. Avery would have been Conner's senior leader, with him gone the team will have to really, REALLY pull together. The leaving of Avery could really hurt Conner, or as previously stated, could make them band together as a team and build great chemistry. They will be fairly young. We shall see. No dirty laundry. No harm, no foul.

 

Looking forward to Avery at Holmes. I think he gives Holmes another great shot at a state title.

I heard a rumor that a very good freshman PG has moved in from Michigan (last name Rich I believe). Has anyone seen him play?

I thought this was a thread on Ryle basketball :idunno:

I have been told that Conner may be better without Avery than with due to team chemistry. Came from a very reliable source close to the program. DO NOT misconstrue here, I believe Avery is a VERY good basketball player.

 

I thought this was a thread about Ryle basketball?? :idunno:

Who are Ryle's top sophmores that will contribute this season? Also, who are the top juniors (aside from Stauffer) that will make an impact. Starting lineup??

 

McCleish

Coleman

Stauffer

Nichols

Maybe Vollet as the 5th starter. Not a lot of depth at guard outside McLeish. If Nichols doesn't play and decides to concentrate on football training, they'll have Stauffer and a couple of 6'3 forwards. They wouldn't be as big.

Vollet is a nice player and does a lot of the little things to help make team successful. I still think they will give Stinson every opportunity to win PG job. I think that would allow McLeish the opportunity to stay at the 2 and do what he does best and be a scorer.

I agree here. I think the point position will be Stinson's to lose. He should be able to provide ball control and allow the inside outside game to work with Stauffer and Mcleish.

He doesn't have a lot of varsity experience at the PG. The few times I saw him last year, he struggled with turnovers and had a difficult time defending some of the better guards. Of course, he probably improved since last year.

Pinkston has a chance to be a good "off the bench shooter."

I think Stinson will be much improved over last year. Stinson is more of a natural PG and will be more of a distributor.

 

McLeish has played enough point to be able to handle the position I just think his more natural position is the 2.

Would think Perkins might see some significant playing time.

 

I would look for McLeish to start at PG and would think it's doubtful at this point that Nichols will play. McLeish has gotten substantially stronger during the offseason.

I've not heard this. There is a sophomore transfer from Wisconsin that hasn't participated much in the off season conditioning.

If Nichols plays it should be Perkins rounding out the starting 5.

Mitch has really worked on his body this off season. He will be Gabbard (Boone Co.) strong or maybe even stronger.
