Without any of the guys mentioned above, JTown could be in for another long year. They are undersized at all positions including point guard. Dakota White will be a Jr who played quite a bit last year. He can get to the basket but likes to challenge taller shot blockers when best to find an open person. Jimmy Kwizera also played heavy minutes at the forward spot, has the heart, just not very skilled.

Just a note.... I don't believe that graphic includes NAIA which could adsorb some more student athletes. But I do love the message the NCAA is trying to pass along.

I would hope it is a big man that could compliment with what they currently already have....

When did they switch leagues? I thought they were in the Atlantic Sun?

Agree great kid & player.... For his size, I believe he needs to work on his point guard skills where he would be used mostly on the next level.

There is great ball for D3 as well.... D3 is also great because it is more about academics.

So much resolves around D1.... Good basketball can be found on any level in college (D2, NAIA). A great education goes a lot further than better basketball competition. I believe KWC will be fine. I do think other schools will question his commitment before signing him.

I believe in finding the right situation, but this just seems odd. Commit to a school, change mind. Sign & enroll in a school then withdrawal. Coaches are going to question his choices. The next level is about team play and getting individuals that will accept that. Don't know the kid personally but he is going to find a landing place hard to come by now..

Some information on 22ft academy...

Yes Faulkner was top scorer in the state. Kid can score at will.

Is there an updated roster anywhere for Team Manimal? I watched them play Saturday, very fun team to watch but outside of Mason and the Bullitt East guys, I knew no one...

I believe Girls basketball has a weekend that they can participate in an event (well into the school calendar).

Louisville has locker room issues that Russell would not have solved. You also have to remember, this was Chris Jones position until he let college life get the best of him. Russell thrived because he left the Louisville area (nothing against the area). Was challenged to mature on & off the court.

East was able to handle the west players....

He also played 7th grade with Jeffersontown.

You still have open enrollment into high school of your choice. Transfer rules does not apply until you are enrolled at High School and play varsity sports.

It seems that more & more D1 guys are reporting earlier to school which then puts the NCAA school in command of the kids. This game should be sooner to reflect the changes going on in the game...

So there will be 3 big tournaments in Aguata (Peach Jam, Peach State, & EYI)? If that is the case, that is more bang for the buck. I also assume they would be in Louisville for AAU Nationals later that month.

How many years does he have left to play?

Last year when my son played in it, the official roster did not come out till the CJ published it about a week before the game. Unless individual players say they are playing or the coach of the team puts out the roster, it is hard information to achieve. It is a very nice ran event for Jrs....

Not a fan of PrepHoops KY. His list seems to be favorite based. For someone to be in the 6th region, average 25.8 a game, 5.8 rebounds a game, 4 assist a game and always the focus on everyone defense shows up in 50+ range. In reality, these rankings does not mean a thing because he is signed with a full ride with a competitive D2 school.

University of Charleston is a good university. Coach Osbourne is also a great guy. They heavily recruit KY and main recruiter was at UPike for a min...

He played AAU ball with The Ville from 6the grade til the end. Great kid and very fundemental.

I would say he will be good @ the DII level, probably not dominant. A big thing he needs to work on is his body & conditioning to adjust to the next level. Any level of college is a lot different than High School.

I believe his father is a big Centre Alum... Plus Coach Mason is a very good coach in Danville.. He will do well at Centre...
