NKYThreeFer Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Ahh thank you for alerting us Gold Sunrise! I was in desperate need of something to do with all of this snow. Watching a future Uk player can fill that void. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NKYThreeFer Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 This current Yates High school- Findlay Prep game is some extremely entertaining basketball. Also, I found the details ESPN just told about Findlay Prep very interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gametime Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 The first two games are exactly why doing away with AAU ball is a bad thing for the college game. Guys like Davis and Dawson have no chance against power teams because the guys around them simply aren't good enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I found the details ESPN just told about Findlay Prep very interesting. I enjoyed that info too. Boy is this a fast paced game. I counted a couple of times and it took each team only 5-6 seconds to score. The first two games are exactly why doing away with AAU ball is a bad thing for the college game. Guys like Davis and Dawson have no chance against power teams because the guys around them simply aren't good enough... I agree with you 100%.

gametime Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Myck Kabongo is so much fun to watch. Best pure PG in the class for my money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKYBOY1487 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Ive been saying for the past 2yrs that Nick Johnson is a STUD. I love this kids game. Inside and out he defends. He's got a great jumper and is very athletic. Not to mention with his size he can play 1-2-3. Nephew of Vince Johnson is someone UK is missing out on. He is a leader and winner. He is what the 2011 class needs to win a championship. Last season I had the same feeling about Tobias Harris.....It kills me to watch these two guy and know they won't be in UK BLUE.

gametime Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Saw Johnson and his AAU squad put the beat down on Teague's team by 50+ in the spring. Nick certainly has all the tools to dominate in the college game and beyond... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qryche11 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Yates was a blur man. That swarming press and the way they got to the rim was unreal. I liked the Dawson kid for Lew Wallace but man his team was not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I wasn't very impressed with Davis. A lot of his stats came because of his size and pure athleticism. He will need to improve his strength tremendously between now and next winter. Kabongo and Johnson are the real deal for Findlay. Johnson's dunk late in the game where he looked down at the defender as he was going up...WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gametime Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 I wasn't very impressed with Davis. Only so much the kid can do when it's 1 on 5... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Only so much the kid can do when it's 1 on 5... Understandable...but I think that he will need to improve his strength between now and next winter. He had the ball simply taken away from him several times down low.

He had the ball simply taken away from him several times down low. He'll be fine. His skill set is absurd for someone that size and length...
