Clyde and Wildcat fan, how many of these kids have you seen play this spring? If I was a betting man I would say not many. You do realize that some kids do plateau and some get a lot better. Sometimes high school ball makes kids look better than they really are until they play against elite competition. Sometimes kids play so much better in spring/summer ball than high school because of a coach holding them back such as Hawkins from SK. Again, until you have seen all of these kids play this spring/summer and have seen how some have progressed or plateaued then you can make a somewhat legit list. Stop going off of past rankings and exposure and go out and really watch them play and then you can make a better informed list.

Sorry, not going to name names to be little any kid. But there is one on the list that I would definitely put him in front of. Can't wait when all of this really shakes out in two years.

Adam Kunkel is no doubt a top 10 player in the state. Finally getting the well deserved recognition while playing with the Travelers against some of the top competition in the country.

Congratulations to Adam Kunkel and Trevon Faulkner from the Travelers. They were selected to the Bob Gibson All Tournament Team.

Heard rumors that they may be playing in the Lex Cath Tourny this year. Hopefully you can come over and check them out.

Would love to see this game at NKU on a neutral court this year. Game was first game of the year at Cooper last year and Cooper pulled out the victory. Game would be played at Cov. Cath. this year and it is a tough place to play for the visiting team. Either way I would like for the game to be played a little later in the season so both teams can can a few games under their belt before they play.

You must not have gone to any Cooper games this year. He can stroke the three, shoot off the dribble from anywhere on the court, and get to the rim. Having a great spring with the Travelers. One of his best assets is how quick of a release he has off the pass. Oh yeah, and gets after it on the defensive end as well. Cooper should have a very exciting team this year with him and the McNeil brothers with Dante Hendrix. They will also have a lot of talent around them.

Matt Simpson for Conner will be a junior next year. Broke collar bone last year playing vasity which caused him to miss most of the year. Will be an impact player if he can stay healthy.

The difference between the Travelers and the Magic is that the Travelers play really good team basketball. They are not concerned about who scores. There are a couple of kids on the Magic team that are only concerned about getting theirs and try to look to pretty doing it.

Probably not very good. He's not a 6'7" power forward.....Lol!!!!!

I would too. I gaurantee there are many parents out there that make many decisions for their kid for there own gratification.

I think you might mean the Hoop Dreams team. He does not play for the Travelers.

I would like the KHSAA to implement that rule.

How long ago? Do you know what the rule is in Ohio regarding out of state kids to go to school and play sports at their private schools?

Not to late. I gave my opinion and don't expect to change the views of others. I'm only speaking of NKY b-ball, but the kid from Holy Cross several years ago that got chaufeured in to school every day and Frederick. Does anyone out there know of any public school kids that live in Ohio and play for a NKY public school. Just asking because I have not heard of any.

I don't have a problem with any kid attending Cov.Coth.as long as they live in the state. Allowing private schools to accept kids to come in from other states to play sports is an un even playing field. Just my opinion. Not trying to start this discussion that gets no where.

I believe CJ Frederick resides in Ohio. Again, nothing against the family. I just don't agree with the stupid KHSAA rule that allows this.

But they are allowed to have kids play for them that actually live in Ohio. I know that they are allowed to do so, but in my opinion you should have to play in the state that you reside in. I know there are different opinions on this, but that is mine.

Would be nice if more parents would listen to their kids and what would make them happy instead of their own selfish desires for them. The grass isn't always greener on the other side.

New Cath.......with Jefferson. Heard the 7 footer is coming back.

Hornswoggle.......NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Not bitter at all. I use to be. Back in my kids KBA days I told the Pulaski parents to have fun winning all of your middle school championships with hold backs, but how many state championship trophys does the high school have in their trophy case because of it. I now realize it's about trying to get that free education.

I never read where anyone said they were mad. I know I didn't.

Never read a post that anyone said they were mad. I know I didn't say it.

Wasn't Fitzgerald driving to the KBA as an 8th grader?
