Great coach. Wouldn't be surprised if he wanted to get back to Kentucky.

I rest my case.

The Mercer parents have been an issue for a long time. It doesn't take long for them to run someone off.

The top 3 players in both the 2017 and 2018 rankings are Louisville Magic players which is what I think was being insinuated

His excellent shooting was showcased by going 0-1 from 3 for the EYBL season last year. 17 EYBL games. 1 three point attempt. Unless of course the EYBL stats were wrong. You obviously don't know much about basketball if you're basing a kid's potential off of dunks. There are great dunkers at every level of college basketball. Tavin is a nice player and would be great somewhere like Kentucky Wesleyan for 4 years. I just am not taking him ahead of kids like Jaylen Sebree, Pedro Bradshaw, Peyton Broughton and David Sloan. Tavin can have all the highlight dunks you want but eventually he's going to have to make a jump shot in college.

It's Jeremiah Tisdale going to GC. Jeremiah is Pun's older brother.

Tavin Lovan is a good HS player on a mediocre HS team. I'm not sure he will be much of a college player. He can't shoot and won't be able to thrive in college without a jumpshot. He may be best suited as a lockdown defender at the next level. Chance Moore may actually make Fern Creek worse. He's not a big fan of sharing the basketball or the spotlight. That team had really good chemistry. If Chance can buy in to the culture at FC, he could put them over the top.

It's Brennan, not Breenan.

Matt Miller graduating is a huge plus. He had a Mason Faulkner type of shot selection without anywhere near the shot making ability. John Hardin was hurt by him all year long.

James Nicholas tore his ACL in summer ball.

Hopkinsville will be very, very small.

Rick Bolus is still alive. And he clears about $150k off of a month of camps. I'd say he's brilliant lol

When I was a teacher, there was an out clause for either the teacher or the school system to terminate the contract within the first two weeks of school starting.

Probably because I've never heard it. Fill us in.

I've seen both play. Neither is very good. Cunningham is a great athlete I'm confident neither will be getting a scholarship to 22 Foot. They'll be paying

Yes but Premier is known for quality, not quantity. I'll be more interested to see if they (you) can start to get some of the better kids in the state.

I'm interested to see how their boys team develops. Didn't hear much about them this year.

Would think he guarded several D1 2 guards this summer with Hoop Dreams.

As far as eligibility goes, he's 18 (19 in December) so he can probably just move wherever he wants and be eligible

And also went from Louisville Magic to Hoop Dreams to Team Thad to Magic again. He's been around a bit.

Zero chance you graduate what they did and get better. I watched Mercer play some summer ball in June and unless Trevon is scoring, it's hard for them to get a bucket.

Every time I see something about that Max Ryan game against Bullitt East, someone has added 4 points and 2 rebounds. At last check he had 48 points and 21 rebounds.

Schools may offer a kid early based on their potential but by the time signing day rolls around, that offer is no longer valid. I've coached kids in the past who got multiple D1 offers but by the time it came to sign the paperwork, they may only have 1 or 2 choices. I had a kid 2 years ago that got an offer from an in state school after the first weekend in July. The offer came from an assistant. The head coach came and watched the kid each of the next two weeks and they stopped recruiting the kid because he "didn't play hard enough". The kid wound up still getting his college paid for through basketball so all is well, but that's an example. Additionally, they may only have a certain number of offers for position groups. If Samford has 2 guard spots to fill in 2018, they already took the commitment from Wales so they will only take one more guard. They've probably offered 8-10 other guards in 2018. First to commit gets it. Everyone else is still in the market and looking for a a school. Hope that helps.

I disagree with your last statement. To play on a shoe circuit, you can't have just a decent handle. If you're playing on something like that TYBA nonsense then you can get away with it. No PG on EYBL, UAA or Adidas Gauntlet has just a "decent" handle.

I realize I'm in the vast minority but I don't think CVH is going to be a good college player. He used to be a lockdown defender who couldn't shoot outside the elbow and now he's added bad weight and can't guard athletes. He'll finish a fine HS career but I think McNeil, Kunkel and Frederick are all better right now and will be much better college players. CVH peaked as a sophomore, maybe even as a freshman. I realize this thread is about who will be the best this year and he's definitely top 5. But I don't think he's the best player on his own HS team at this point.
