IMO it's hard to question how a coach substitutes when the team won the game. If he subbed different they maybe could have lost. What they do know, is they won the game by how they subbed. So imo it's hard to question subbing patterns if a team won.

Sometimes subbing patterns keep the other team in the game.

Ok just to set this more straight Schwartz first offer came from NKU. Uk loves the kid and has had her on campus and she is on the UK call list of younger kids that call Mitchell directly. Michigan State will offer this summer if she keeps up the same play. There are alot more schools who like Schwartz alot. This is the short version.

If Scwartz gets offers from Ky then she would definitely be high major D1. I do stand corrected on NKU if she has an offer there as I didn't realize that NKU was in the Horizon league which is considered a mid major D1 league now.

Scherr has them.

I think that's what I just said.

UCONN has called me several times on Scherr. Uk has offered I think and Walz has already had her on campus. Michigan loves her and had her at their Xavier game. This is the short version. This kid has potential to be a top 10 player in America in the 2020 Class. And thats not my opinion, its BCS coaches and scouts opinion.

I didn't say that Scherr wasn't high major D1 quality. I understand she has very nice offers. I questioned the poster stating they had 2 mid to high major D1 players.

Why do you believe that is a reach? Both already have division 1 offers. Maddie has 4 and she's a freshman. Lauren just recently was offered by nku.

I guess you need to define what you think is mid major D1. High major D1 is UConn, Notre Dame, etc. NKU is not mid major D1.

I've coached some basketball, and IMO definitely outcoached. With an overall more athletic team Ryle could have done things defensively to better their chances (we won't say what those things are in case future coaches are reading!). I think very highly of our players but in the end they had two mid-high D1 players and Juliet McGregor who is essentially as good (better athletically). So in the end, they had the better players, they lost, we won, therefore outcoached. I know that's not always the case but IMO this time it was. Hats off to Coach Menefee

So you're saying that Ryle has 2 mid to high major D1 players? I think that might be a bit of a reach.

Big district win for Conner that lets them take control of the district seeding at 2-0. Heard the final score shouldn't have been this close and that Conner continued to struggle with lots of turnovers, bad shooting and especially poor free throw shooting. Also heard that substitution patterns were suspect again.

Looks like another really nice collection of teams. Should give us a good picture of what the state looks like unless all the out-of-state teams win. Does anyone have any info on the out-of-state teams?

KING OF THE BLUEGRASS

I hope that Conner can bounce back after the loss to Highlands but they have serious issues. They don't have a true point guard to get them into an offensive flow and quite honestly someone said it in the Highlands thread their offense looks like schoolyard play. They try to run dribble drive which usually ends up with someone chucking up a bad low percentage shot. If they are to be successful against Ryle they will have to turn them over with the press and make a resepectable percentage of their 3s and somehow find a way to make free throws. As RCC9 said they have a lot of good young talent but need some leadership to come from somewhere and I don't know where that could be. Maybe they just need to play some more good teams to find that out but helter skelter is not the answer. They need to play more under control on offense and when the other team gets the ball down against the press they need to buckle down and lock them down defensively and not give up easy shots and rebound misses.

Any broadcasts of these games?

What is the boarder bowl? Do they see who can find the best place to live?

How is it that you have a 7 footer who plays 24 minutes and gets 5 rebounds. As Sir Charles has been known to tell you "if you're 7 ft tall you should get double digit rebounds every night on accident".

Was told that Conner missed a great number of wide open layups, had a lot of unforced turnovers and missed free throws again. Stamm needs to start holding players accountable who aren't producing and playing out of control. When girls aren't getting the job done they shouldn't be on the floor.

Not totally unexpected.

Highlands is at Conner tonight. Conner undefeated in this short season at 5-0 comes off a close win over district rival Cooper, a game in which they turned the ball over a lot, shot poorly but held on to win. Who wins this game and why?

Look out Rex you could and probably should be next.

She is beyond awful.

If you think Lawson is awful I'd be interested to know what you think of some of the blowhards that do color on the games today, for instance Dickie Vitale and Dan Dakich. I personally think Kara Lawson is a breath of fresh air and is very knowledgeable and easy to listen to.

Conner needs to worry about Highlands tonight before they think about Ryle.

Bad free throw shooting is going to keep this team from fulfilling their big goals if it doesn't turn around. They have gone to the line 108 times and only made 51 for 47%. Many of those were front ends of 1 and 1s. Against Cooper they were 15 of 31. Looks like some extra free throw time is due over the holidays. That kind of shooting won't get it done against Highlands this week and they will make free throws.

Conner down 30-20 at half but picked it up offensively 2nd half. Wasn't there but heard that they had a ton of turnovers in the game. Sometimes you have to win ugly and maybe this was the case tonight. Big win for Conner as this was a district game.

I couldn't find his numbers for his frosh year.

 

Soph = 576

JR = 764

This yr = 111

 

That's 1,451 plus whatever he scored as a 9th grader.

He had 1,621 through the Bracken Co. game of January 29, 2016. The KHSAA didn't have his pt. total for their tournament loss to Augusta last year but he scored 764 without that game in 2016.

Looks like they bounced back strong after being throttled by Cooper the other night.

By all accounts Jake Ohmer should be at or nearing 2000 career pts. Anyone have any insight into that?

If he is as good as advertised who's to say some prep school doesn't snatch him up long before his senior year at BG.

How many FTs did Hurst shoot? I know she is an outstanding 3 point shooter. If she can consistently create FT opportunities she will be a more consistent scorer - and I believe one of the top scorers in the area.

Hurst doesn't take it to the basket much. What free throws she attempts usually come off steals at the top of the full court press and getting fouled going to the basket. Jordan and Burcham are slashers who go the line more but Hurst is more a streaky spot up shooter. Against North Hardin she attempted 16 3s connecting on 5 of them but after a slow 1st half she hit I believe 4 in a row coming out in the 2nd half.
