Walton by double digits. -
Beechwood 79 Louisville Holy Cross 40
Big Fundamental replied to statman's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I think he’s going to be that good at some point. And, by that good, I mean essentially seen as an “unstoppable player”. He has an ability to really score the ball. I just don’t know if it’ll be this year, next year, or senior year. Kid is talented! And, solid seniors, yes. And talented Sophomores, yes. But, they will go as Draud goes, imo. -

Not fishing at all. I assume that could have been taken out of context. I just found it odd that people were talking about the happiness of the players, and Harding’s potential playing time. However, according to those stats, it seems all played well together. Glad to hear it. Talented group. -

What makes you so sure? When you have a player like Draud, who can at times be "unstoppable" scoring the ball, don't they have a chance to at least "hang"? -
Ludlow's coach has the same fearlessness as Villa Madonna's coach. Admirable. Jalen Scott could be a stud this year. I heard he had a great aau summer.

Was everyone happy with Harding's performance/playing time? Any on court issues? I know these things were discussed in another thread. -

That’s two big time blowouts by Beechwood. Anyone seeing these games? Competition level down, or is Beechwood a legit threat in the 9th? -
Ryle 88 Villa Madonna 41
Big Fundamental replied to leititgo33's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Villa is a D3 conference school, correct? I applaud their coach for being willing to play these games. I’m not sure what good it does for either team, but that man isn’t afraid and he coaches his kids. Kudos to him. -
Silver Grove 76 Covington Latin 51

I don’t know the exact situation. But, I am of firm belief that Highlands doesn’t have 8 players distinctly better than Macke. Especially considering the large number of guys that played last season in each game, 9-10-maybe 11, in some games. Not blaming the staff or anything Of that nature. Just saying, I’m of the frame of mind that Macke wasn’t going to play their for some reason outside of basketball performance. -

Woww. Boone down? Or, Beechwood knock the lights out? -
Lexington Catholic 68 Mason County 33
Big Fundamental replied to SLICRIC's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
For a HS team, to me, “headed in the right direction” means getting the community excited about the program again. They may have varsity experienced players, but the talent level isn’t there with that varsity level experience. Good news is, I think Kirk can help them. I believe Kirk is the kind of coach that can get the most out of the talent he has, which is all anyone can ask for. He did it at Augusta. It’s one game. And, one season. Give this staff time to implement the system and build the culture. -

I don’t believe the Highlands situation was solely based on play performance and production. Macke is good enough to play for Highlands. Not saying he’d be a star, but he IS good enough to play there. -

Big Fundamental replied to SLICRIC's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
I'm not sure they'll win many games either way. But, I know that Kirk will have them headed in the right direction. -
Gallatin County 59 Holmes 58
Big Fundamental replied to mcpapa's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
All good points. First game of the year. Carr will have them playing strong by seasons end. -
Gallatin County 59 Holmes 58
Big Fundamental replied to mcpapa's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Every game and every team has "questionable calls". If Gallatin or Holmes had won by 20, no one says a word. -

Big Fundamental replied to One Great Scorer's topic in KY Boys Basketball (High School)
Rusch definitely would. This young man can play, regardless of competition level. Im not as sure on Macke, solely because I haven't seen him enough to say he'd start on "most" 10th region teams... that may be a possibility. -
point.QUOTE=XregCoach;6637545]Only reason Mason Rusch isnt in the Top 10 to watch is 1) He's sub 6 foot, 2) He plays at Calvary Christian. So that doesn't make much sense. If he is top 10, he's top 10. Regardless of where he plays and his height. Funny how he averaged more and anyone in the NKY region except Allen (Pendleton) and still not top 10. Not sure who does the rankings, but the marginalization of smaller schools is ridiculous. School choice should not play into talent recognition. If you can play, you can play. He has more than proven himself. He has to show out this season though to get any looks. Best of luck to him and hope to get out and see him play this season at some point. In this situation, I agree with you. MR can play and he has good skill and leadership ability. However, scoring can’t be the sole descriptor of a top player in the region. I know kids who have left bigger schools and gone to smaller schools just to get more touches and more points.
