He gives them something they haven't had. He's a 6'3"ish kid that plays a physical brand of basketball. He will bang for them, rebound, get garbage points and play very hard.[/QUOTe

 

 

Smith,Miller and white had 27,18,18 in second game together against Knox Central. I look for them to the best team in the 47th when its all said and done. Laid in egg in first district game missing 21 free throws and losing game by four. This casey county team is bringing some excitement to liberty.

Can't judge a team off one game especially the first week of the season. What do rankings mean? Not a thing it all

Matters who is playing in the region come March. With all that being said Casey didn't show up tonight. Great game by mercer county tonight. They had it clicking in every way possible. Casey is still a year away from being a real contender.

Gonna be down to the final minutes in this one I believe. Both teams will be ready to go!

I'd put West Jessamine ahead of them and possibly Danville. I feel like the top 4 teams are a notch above the rest, I think Mercer County and West Jessamine are the next two teams depending on Dow's status. Without Dow Mercer County only has one stud player and that's Will Hager and there is only so much he can do by himself. Without Dow I'd have West Jessamine at #5 and then 6-10 would consist of Mercer County, Danville, Casey County, Pulaski County in no particular order.

 

Much like Dow for Mercer County, DJ White being ruled eligible would elevate Casey County in the rankings.

 

I do feel like any of the top 4 teams are capable of losing to any of the 5-10 teams on any given night but those 4 teams should dominate the region.

I wouldn't have said it any better PP! I seen Pulaski this summer they will hurt not having gover at the PG. You can say all you want that he was the coaches son but he stirred the pot to that stew. I watched him give SW 32 points last year. I did hear they got a 6'5'' transfer from Brooklyn last week. That's good info from someone who works in the school. I also hear they've only had one open gym so far this pre-season. So ill say I don't believe Pulaski is the best in their own district.

I believe Mason Faulkner is way to low! If we are ranking just the top 10 based on talent he avg 25 a game last year. Yes I know his team was horrible but you put him on a team where he has help then I don't believe he would be ranked. Who is foreign kid taylor got? I believe Gavin Root made a bad decision heading to North Hardin. He wont see much playing time there.

No mike Dunaway? Trimble co?

Seeing them this summer they will be deep and have some good guard play!

Still waiting on ruling on DJ White. His mom has made the move to CC. Pulaski is way to high with Gover leaving and all there transfers have been shipped out. If dow is eligible that puts them top 5. Boyle County is clear favorite is Elkins can step up. SOUTHWESTERN is the sleeper if Gover is ruled eligible

He doesn't need to opt out to a different school. The players come to him

Dj just situation has been handled his coach was granted limited guardianship. His khsaa paperwork was sent this past Friday so they await decision but judge has signed off and a legal move. If you knew the kid and knew the relationship with his coach I don't believe you would comment on anything. Dj and coach stallworth have been close for some time now. Djs mother has had situation that has happen to which I will not discuss on a public forum. He is a great kid but coming from a hard situation. I hope all kids are deemed eligible because only know half of any situation and no one knows what these kids come from or the challenges they've had before transferring. I believe ultimately they transfer to better themselves and no one transfers to hurt themselves so I say let them all play. In the end it's about the kids so why punish them for trying to make a better situation for them.

I believe Taylor county coach does the same thing so before you make a comment check out the kid situation first. But hey good luck this year in wherever your coaching...

As far as I know, Bell is the only kid ruled eligible so far. I assume Gover will get eligible because I think his dad also works at SW now. The rest, who knows.

 

Transferring is out of control in Kentucky. Time to change the policy somehow or just rule them all ineligible.

You didnt seem to mind Malik Dow transferring to MErcer. So why the sudden hatred for transfers??

You mean like G-MAC Freshman of the Year Ken-Jah Bosley? A high level D2 player is a very good player. There's no shame in being a Division 2 player.

OH no sir no shame at all. Yes, I believe he could be a standout on the d2 level because of his ability to shoot the ball and etc.. I just dont fully believe he is the best scorer in that class because that 2016 class is loaded with talent.

Ethan Snapp is going to end up being top 10-15 when it's all said and done...I know of multiple D1 coaches who have reached out and shown legit interest.

 

Best scorer in the state for his class, IMO.

 

I've seen most of that list and I'd take him over atleast 8 kids ahead of him.

 

Several who are overrated and simply ranked where they are because of exposure when they were younger.

Thats a little far fetched IMO. Ive seen him play many of times on the AAU circuuit and granted wih a stronger frame I believe he can play d1. At best he is a high level d2 kid because he would need to transition to a point guard. I believe he is a nice player but i would like to see him play in the belly of the beast in a tough region like 11th,6th or 7th and put up the same numbers. Not taking anything from the young man but i dont think he is best scorer in the class by any means. But, is still a very nice player. Why did he leave hoop dreams?

Dont know enough to rank top 10 in the 6th, but it should be bullitt east at the top. Also i believe sharp shooter tyler sharpe could be 6th region player of the year.

Now that all the guys tranferring are all settled in, I believe this might be the toughest competition in the 12th in some time. I believe it is a 4 or 5 team race for regional crown. I believe its between Boyle, Lincoln, Wayne and Southwestern. Teams like Mercer, Casey, Danville or Somerset being some teams to keep your eye on.

Manimal will

I believe Casey County will be better than expected after watching them this summer. They have added a transfer and some height in the inside. Miller and Smith have looked great so far in summer ball and AAU this offseason. I believe its a 2 headed race between PC and Casey for district title. Miller and Smith both play on their coaches AAU organization TEAM MANIMAL.

That's some prank. What a terrible idea. Smh

Boyle County summer league games have been moved to mercer county to play rest of summer. There will not be games on june 4th as originally scheduled and some teams may back out but they will be held there.

There's no tension I assure you just honestly had a bad a weekend it happens. Lost a little toughness to them but the addition they will be adding will send shock waves. Those kids win because they are tough and went away from that this weekend on top of the worst shooting performance they had in two years. Pi spoke with coach stallworth and he is not disgruntled at all with his team, but just have to get back to the toughness which If anyone knows his mentality they will. I look for a good showing at Adidas invitational

Hoop dreams is playing hard nose basketball right now. They are playing with a purpose. I give much respect to the staff and players.

I know coach stallworth well and I wonder if he asked for that he has tendency of doing that. Or could it be just the way it played out?

Which teams from ky are going?

Yes

Does anyone know anything about him?
