Yo Mama

This one has gone way off the tracks. I believe it has been the East West All Star Game for 29 years. Don't imagine they will change it now. It was a nice event in a great venue. I enjoyed seeing players that I hadn't seen before or in sometime in both boys and girls games.

I think he means Owen or Oldham.

Lloyd has joined th NCKC so they are now required to play them every season as well.

Outside of playing the teams they are required to play because of location, I would say that Owen is playing a much tougher schedule than they ever have before. They can't get away from playing Eminence, Carroll, Henry etc twice a season. Their summer schedule is significantly tougher than it has ever been.

Carson has played in California, Florida, Georgia, OH, Indiana, Illinois. Minnesota, Virginia, Tennessee, Texas, Pennsylvania and several regions in Kentucky and he's pretty much "gotten away" with the same things there as he is in the 8th Region of Ky.

The nice thing about playing in the EYBL is that it gives small town players opportunity to play against high quality competition in front of big time coaches either live or online. He has also attended the Fab Frosh and Super Soph camps and attended a few elite camps. Don't really need to live in one of the big Ls to get recruited.

He currently holds offers from Western, Eastern, Northern, Wright State, Ohio University, Northwestern State, North Florida, St Joseph's, Oklahoma State, Miami (OH), and Samford

Carson Williams-Owen County

He's done a nice job with the Travelers this summer. Rebounds and shoots well. I imagine he will be getting some more offers before long.

What some may be forgetting is that sometimes the best 10 players do not gel together to make the best team. Hard to keep everyone happy in that situation and sometimes the chemistry just ain't there. You put the top ten players from any state together on a team and there might not be enough minutes or balls to go around. Teams need role players and that is sometimes an understandably hard adjustment for kids (and parents) to make.

I believe so.

Wonder what prompted the departure from Hoop Dreams again.

Great shooter. One of the top foul shot % in the state if I remember correctly. Congrats!

Anyone see the Manimal vs Hoop Dreams Black game? Details? I was a little surprised by the score and heard Faulkner put on a clinic.

OK, I'll bite. Why?

I think there may be a few who would turn down any rental player even one as good as Q due to loyalty to their regular players, no matter how much they would like to have him. Sportsmaniac says he would turn him down and I believe him. My son has played in a couple of tourneys as a guest player when a team was missing a player or two and even though all the players and parents were great about it, I had to wonder if some of them may have resented him getting some of their kids playing time. I kinda felt awkward about it even though the coach had approached us about adding him.

Anyone know why OHSAA won't approve? Makes me wonder if KHSAA will have any objections. Also curious as to what country he is from.

Western has offered

Number one surprise is that Hoop Dreams 17 is not playing in the state tournament. Even without the services of Holman and Miller they should be good enough to be competitive. Number 2 surprise is that Manimal wanted a guest player for the state tourney, unless maybe they have some regulars out for some reason. Sometimes AAU is like a box of chocolates. Ya never know what your gonna get.

Curious as to why you think so.

St Joseph's has now offered as well.

I've heard second hand that Nike already said it won't be back at kba but that is strictly a rumor.

I said all along that I was concerned about the lack of space and a few told me I was wrong. I saw that grandmother and felt really bad for her. I wish they would have made announcements telling people that there were others waiting. I could have left earlier. I was told by the guy at the gate that I could buy a band for all day but not get back in if I left.
