Fredricks is a nice player, but he's nowhere near where Nesto was as a freshman. He's got talent and could be very very good, but Nesto is one of the top 5 point guards I've seen in NKY since I started watching.

 

With that said I've only been watching HS BBALL around here since 1997 or so.

I think Clyde is just talking about ball handling. Frederick can handle the ball right now as well as any PG I've seen at CovCath in 6 seasons. He has to grow to be ready for the big boys. Don't forget, Todd was almost a year older than most in his class.

I should re-phrase my comment. The person said it in specifically in regards to ball-handling. Still nice praise.

The best freshman I ever saw was Scott Draud. In the eighth grade we (Tichenor) actually beat his Turkeyfoot team which never lost. I believe we held Draud to 33. He averaged about 50.

I knew a PT guard from CovCath who led CovCath to a state final and to the sweet sixteen in his senior year before losing out to the State Champion Glasgow.

 

The guy wore #13 and his name, Jimmy Cooper. If young Mr. Fredrick matches up to Jim, then he will be a great one!

 

TJ got moved up at Christmas of his freshman year. Bovard also moved up that year.

I am not trying to take anything away from these two, homestly, but one does need to consider the overall situation the team is in with regards to players and moving up. I mean, we had a freshman score varsity points for us last year!

8 days away from Highlands first game vs. Holy Cross. Does anyone know what the Indians have this season? Someone mentioned in the thread earlier that one of the St. Joe's Crescent Springs bigs is attending HC.
