Believe it’s considered an unofficial, but he is still officially being recruited by them.

Ahh I see, don’t know much about the 8th this coming year so I can’t really comment on it. Was simply just saying I’ll believe it when I see it with Steiner.

Let’s not get carried away. SK is the biggest school in the region I believe, and some years struggle to get out of district. They are in the I’ll believe it when I see it section. They underperform almost every year!

I know forsure he’s added OSU, Louisville couple more within that last month or so as well.

Yeah it’s a recruiting visit. Kentucky is recruiting, like many of the other top schools in the region. I’ve seen sites have him a 5 star in the 2026 class.

LC with a running clock. This is a huge step up for the Juggs, not sure they are ready for a perennial power yet. The old saying of ”there is levels to this”.

So is there not a backup QB right now lol? What’s the news on Gaiser and his timeframe?

There’s some clear hating and hurt feelings going on that the kid didn’t stay in NKY and end up at CCH. He has a D1 body and work ethic and his mechanics are very good at an early age. He will be a Divison 1 QB and to act like the area and the Colonels couldn’t use that is pure foolery. He’d be the starter as soon as Pitzer walks across that stage! Elder is a MAJOR MAJOR step up from any football we have here. The guy he is losing out to could be a top kid as well, we are talking about big boy football here. This isn’t the jab you think it is.

Oh I 100% get it and agree with many of the things you guys have pointed out. But let’s be honest the chance of any of these guys being NBA players are very small. My thinking at least for my son is the total package, I want a school that will prepare him for college in the classroom and teach hard work ethic. That also has above average and hard working athletics that’ll teach things the classroom can't. But it’s the combination of things, a school needs to meet a certain threshold of academics to dictate future success of one. Yeah there is some that do better with what they are giving and go on to have that success. But do you really want your kid surrounded by that? I want like minded individuals all pushing for the same goals around my kids.

Yeah think that’s been a thing for a few months. He was on their bench during all the summer stuff. Loads of talent that are sophomores and younger for the Wildcats. No offense to anybody but I’m surprised so many of these parents are sacrificing the education part of this. It wasn’t to long ago Newport was being shutdown by the state.

I’ve heard Sebastian is now at NCC, anybody else able to confirm or deny this?

He may be a freshman, knew he was young regardless.

He’s a soon to be 8th grader that’s about 6’5 already! Dad is 6’8 and played at UC. I think the younger Starks will be better than Chandler, he is more built body wise for high level college basketball. As in Chandler was always built for college football.

I to am hearing eligibility is an issue, heard this is the kids 4th or 5th school. And that grades aren’t the greatest either!

100% they missed out on a huge talent. Dad played at OSU, I know OSU already thinks highly of him as he camped there as well. And any site you can find that ranks them that young has him in the top 5 quarterback rankings for the nation. Took the middle schools colonels and won the GCL last year. Don’t think he is overhyped at all, and would have been awesome to have this type of talent play in NKY regardless of school.

I think it’s more of the understanding you are getting national eyes on your kids. College Scouts, NBA scouts, Overseas scouts. Your kid is going up against the best of the best everyday in practice. Many times these kids are the best player at their school, don’t go as hard daily. Or don’t get pushed as hard daily because they are so superior. For me personally If my son ever gets there and as a family we get that choice it’s a no brainer. You are simply pushing them to the highest possible level they can go. You’re getting them ready for what it will be like at a major school or in the league. Diets, Daily Planning, training, coaching; there is a lot into play of it all. More than just putting up stats or numbers, I’ve seen kids go and put up worst numbers. But it’s still way more beneficial than dominating KHSAA ball. It’s more so of the thinking of I have to continue to elevate and get better rather than he’s gonna be good no matter where he plays.

Yeah he will be a great 3rd guard to bring in and control the pace of the game. Highly efficient player that doesn’t make mistake and can knock down shots. It’s crazy cause they have the Gaiser boy too, which I almost feel bad for because he has all these guards in front of him and they are around the same age.

In other words there isn’t anything to worry about with that one.

Unfamiliar with B miller. Care to enlighten me?

I agree 100%, the depth pieces are what I’m not super familiar with because not a whole lot of bodies played last year in crucial games. I know Noah Johnson has played in some big ones.

Would be interested to hear why with such conviction? If the kid continues at this trajectory he will become bigger than 9th region and KHSAA ball talent wise. Why not push your son/player and get them to the highest place possible. Look at Jasper Johnson and his situation!

That’s exactly what I’m hearing. Try to go for a back to back regional championship, then they lose quite a bit. Once they all leave I suspect and am hearing he will take the challenge and go prep. His stepdad has a crap ton of connections, their AAU team is one of the top in the nation. He will have plenty of suitors and it really comes down to how much they want to push the kid. If he really has NBA dreams and you think it can happen you go the prep route!

I think his skill level and talent for putting the ball in the hoop is up there with the best we’ve seen at CCH lately. He’ll be the most talented scorer while cash runs the show, Miller mans down low. Johnson, Bradshaw and some others on the wing. This will be a very talented and orchestrated team when it’s all said and done. With GREAT shot making! Newport prolly will have region this year, but with the Kinney rumors the Colonels will be back on top next year with how young they are.

According to his IG and Twitter 4 days ago, he was playing summer ball for the Colonels. Even captioned it with it’s gonna be a fun year, and I noticed he wasn’t able to make the Newport game. So that’s something else you can take from that scrimmage, Athens will average 15-20 this year. I’ll argue he will be their most talented scorer, while cash runs the show.

Huge loss if he isn’t, I didn’t see him in any videos. Him with Harney you could argue would best backcourt for next 3 years. Would be close this year with Newport having Kinney, Jackson and Covington. But Newport will lose all 3 after this year from everything I’m hearing.
