Prospects beat NKy Bulldogs in overtime. Ramser and Thieneman a little too much to handle for NKy.

If the Prospects get by their first round game they will play the Bulldogs at 8pm. If you wanna see some really solid kids playing this game should be terrific. Great kids and families on both sides. Simmons may be the difference maker in the end of this battle.

Looks like the Bulldogs and the Prospects might be on a collison course in the early in the championship bracket. Would be a very entertaining game.

Louisville Prospects will be playing also: Brent Kidwell (Collins) Jarod Griffin (LexCath) Daniel Ramser (Trinity) Chase Shellman (DeSales) Christian Thieneman (Trinity) Jay Murphy (Trinity) Zack Patterson (Etown) Gabe Bauer (Silver Creek IN)

Hope it doesnt snow again this year. Was all set to go see that one last year and it was cancelled due to bad weather

Not sure why you would post rankings made by a 14 year old boy. Any case its laughable that he has Morton ranked below Perry, Levitch, Stafford, Pepper, and Johnson for starters.

Agreed, but I have seen him three times and he really needs to be coached up on defense.

Looks awesome. It will be nice to have a really nice new stadium in the area

WOW, thanks for the info, I think that is really big news. Bell is a very nice player

Per Saturday's Courier Journal: Bellarmine University has made scholarship offers to three Louisville basketball players — shooting guard Daniel Ramser and forward Christian Thieneman of Trinity High and power forward Will Parker of Male. Bellarmine coach Scott Davenport and his staff have watched all three players this week in the Adidas Invitational in Indianapolis. The 6-foot-4 Ramser and 6-6 Thieneman play for the Louisville Prospects club. The 6-7 Parker, who also received an offer from Kentucky Wesleyan on Friday, plays for The Ville. Ramser said the Bellarmine offer is his first. “I'm really excited about that,” he said. “I've grown up watching them. My family (are) big fans, so I'm really excited about it.” Ramser, who also has been recruited by Centre College and NCAA Division II Maryville University in St. Louis, averaged 6.1 points and 2.8 rebounds in 37 games last season for the state semifinalists. He shot 42.4 percent from the floor, including 37.2 percent on threes (35 of 94), and 81 percent from the free-throw line. He carries a 31 ACT score. “(Coach Scott Davenport) said he likes every area of my game and likes how I come in and affect the game in all areas,” Ramser said. “Defensively, rebounding out of my position, scoring when I need to, passing. And just knowing the game and what will help my team in certain parts of the game.” Ramser, who has taken an unofficial visit to Bellarmine, said he is unsure when he'll make a college decision. But the Knights, the 2011 Division II national champions, made an impression with their offer. “I think it's a great opportunity,” he said. “They've had recent success with Coach Davenport, and it's really been noticed in this city, this state and this area.” He added about his recruitment in general: "I'm very excited about this (offer), and I'll have to take a little time and talk it over with my family. We'll have to see how it goes the rest of this summer, but we really like Bellarmine.” As for Parker, the offers from Bellarmine and Wesleyan are his first. He said the Knights have been recruiting him since his sophomore year. He has never attended a Bellarmine game, but his former Male teammate Josh Stoner plays there. He said Davenport told him that a four-year scholarship to Bellarmine is worth about $180,000. “It feels pretty good (to get the offer),” he said. “… It means a lot.” Parker said he will likely visit Bellarmine, and it's possible he'll visit Kentucky Wesleyan. KWC coach Happy Osborne and all his assistants attended his Thursday morning game with The Ville, although Parker said he hadn't heard much from the Panthers before this week. Thieneman also has offers to play at Air Force and Northern Kentucky. He played in 25 games last season, averaging 4.1 points and 2.9 rebounds

It would have a nice Kentucky flavor at Bellarmine in a couple of years if you had: Bach, Ramser, Parker and Thieneman as starters.

Kinda goes along with what many on this thread have been saying. Probably all of Trinity's starters will have significant offers. I know the thread has gotten a little off topic but you have to think that Trinity will be mentioned nationally. They usually always play a tough in-state schedule and per "KOB" the are opting out of the KOB to play in the City of Palms tournament which is one the the more important national tourneys in December.

I felt like there was something missing also. Last month they played both Ballard and Trinity and lost fairly handily (alot of teams will lose to those two). They have some nice players and would have to be considered among those to challenge for the 11th. I would put them just behind Henry Clay and LexCath. But to Jokers point there just seemed to be something missing, maybe chemistry i dunno

Gage Hughes, Greenup County

UofL, Indiana, Xavier, Vandy, Clemson and others might disagree with you on that one but time will tell.

Jarod Griffins broken hand has healed and will be playing for the Magic

At Iroquois High School.

Maybe there were alot of injuries then when I saw them play DeSales. DeSales handled them easily.

What do you conisder to be Nationally ranked? Did we consider Ballard nationally ranked last year? Its possible that all five starters will have some form of D1 offers, I would think they would be mentioned nationally.

I agree that it would appear that there might be a lack of quickness there but the thing I heard over and over and over again at the state tournament was how "long" Trinity was. Something that pretty much surprised alot of people. One thru five those kids are very long. When u start with the PG at about 6'3" and go up from there to about 6'10" that can make up for some lack of quickness. With or without the transfer Trinity was agruably the preseason favorite. But now if the new kid is a distributing PG they might be scary good. With Levitch and Ramser on opposite sides of the floor and Spalding in the middle....whew.

Shelby County was a tough out last year and should be right in the thick of it again this year. Collins should get better as the year goes on. And you know Owen County will be a handfull with Williams.

Spalding, Sutton, Parker, Perry, Ramser, Levitch, Stafford are seven players off the top of my head that are easily ahead of the two Eastern players. I think the roster selection was very poor.

Tisdale of Henry Clay was named the tournament MVP. I thought Simmons of Henderson County had an excellent tournament also.

JC another tough physical loss to PRP kinda like the one last year in the KOB. You can tell that JC feels like they get pushed around by PRP. JC had a really nice win over Dunbar in the qtrs. They might be a better team without Shane Hall
