Yes. Probably not top 10, but I'd still have them as top 20. It can't come as much of a surprise that Pike isn't going to hang around Northern Kentucky.

 

I think losing Pike hurts them tremendously on the boards. With Pike it allows Stansberry to face the basket more and do what he does best which is slash and drop the mid range jumper in your face. I would expect he will now have to play with his back to the basket more. However, Fox/Hatton in the backcourt will be a deadly combination. I just think they will be more likely ranked around 25 in the state. IMO- they are now evenly ranked in the Region with NCC.

1. Trinity

2. Ballard

3. Scott County

4. Bullitt East

5. Henry Clay

6. Moore

7. Rowan County

8. Madison Central

9. Dixie Heights

10. PRP

11. Montgomery County

12. Perry County Central

13. Lexington Christian

14. Lexington Catholic

15. Eastern

 

Lexington Christian should not be at 13? They have 1 nice player but thats it. They may not even be in the top 4 of their district, I'd put Lafayette, Lexington Catholic, Tates Creek, and maybe even Dunbar ahead of them.

You can't put much stock in summer ball.

 

Example. The year South Laurel won the state championship Holmes beat them by 25 over the summer.

 

If I'm not mistaken, though, that same summer SL won a national AAU tourney (I don't recall what division, however).

That's because with Southwestern's new transfer Pulaski County isn't even the best team in their region. Pulaski is good as is Southwestern. Both will have to play their way into the top 15, IMO.

Keeping my eye on this Southwestern team. With the Canadian transfer, they could rise in the rankings.

The C-J coaches ranking came out and I started a thread on the top players and teams. Here is a link to the teams and you can compare how our rankings to the coaches rankings. Were some of us close????

Everyone was bashing my top 15 rankings when I put them on here around a month ago. Its funny I have 13 of my top 15 also in the top 15 of the coaches poll. One of the two I missed is ranked 21st. I guess I really dont know what Im talking about, or maybe the coaches dont, who knows. Either way good list by the CJ.
