There is already a thread on this.

Are they going to be a package deal?

Being the favorite and giving them the title are 2 totally different things. Lou. Eastern is going to be awfully good too in the area. Trinity will also be good and you always have Ballard to worry about. No reason to give anyone the state title yet. Also who is Jakarr Sampson? The player Demling mentioned in his blog.

That may be the worst post you have ever had. This is Kentucky. Anything can happen. There will be a lot of tough teams in their way.

I will be in town until Saturday night, so I am going to try to go to some games. It looks like a good field. Should be very competitive. I look forward to seeing Tates Creek play. They will be very good this year IMO.

Indiana just has more talent in basketball. Thats just the bottom line. Indianapolis has so many people and top-notch athletes. Plus for whatever reason Louisville doesn't produce the basketball players they used to and its our biggest city.

I think it would be good to have a show like on ESPN or done by a different station. But MTV would probably be more about finding the drama in the student's personal lives and I could possibly see that turn into a negative or even embarassing situation for high school kids.

No surprise to see Watts play so well. Hes a great basketball player and underrated.

I doubt either one of these. One thing that I have seen over the years is that while the talent level in Ky isn't what it is else where HS basketball coaching is very good in Kentucky and when you talk about LexCath they are very well-coached. And I believe Lexington Catholic High School is a great place to get an education (and I am by no means a private school type guy).

I have no idea about everything you said, but something just seems shady with him. Its hard to not be atleast concerned about McLeod.

Tournaments like Beachball, City of the Palms, the Hall of Fame classic, and the Primetime shootout are big events that see a ton of coaches. The Marshall Co. hoopfest draws a lot of coaches too.

St. Benedicts in the past have played in a lot of big tournaments and you get seen doing that. Also, they have been on ESPN before. He will get seen a lot at St. Benedicts too as well as AAU. Now with McLeod I don't know if this will be that good of a situation or not. LexCath also travels and gets seen too. I believe they played at the Chik-filet tournament last year, which is a big HS tourney.

If Danny Hurley was still there I would agree with you, but Mcloud got fired at IU didn't he? I wish him well, but the grass may not always be greener. Which Gametime may no more about that than me, but it seems a little odd.

I'd imagine Shelby Valley will be good again. They have great tradition over there and I would think they will hire a good replacement.

I heard the local newspaper listed Wright, Marcum, and Parks as the final 3 candidates. Is this true?

Just some guys I think should be in are: Dudley Hilton Chuck Smith Billy Hicks Bill Mike Runyon Tom Larkey Chris Renner (eventually) Phillip Heywood

You have 6. Then you have guys like Ge-lawn Guyn, Shaquille Wilson, and Elijah Pittman that are D-1 caliber guys. 2 more interesting guys are Aaron Watts and Ian Chiles. Anyone heard anything about them?

I meant that they got him to transfer in 2 or 3 years ago. They have just been attracting a lot of talent. Morrow has done a good job over there, but hes been in trouble a couple times too.

J'town has attracted a lot of talent recently. Cosby transferred over there as well. Seems like they've gotten some other transfers too.

With the exception of the Alcoa game really no one has scored very much at all on Bell for the past 2 seasons. I don't think that will change at all this year.

http://www.khsaa.org/hallfame/2011release.pdf Here is the Hall of fame class. I was wondering, who should be in the Hall of Fame that isn't yet? (if its a coach it probably needs to be someone atleast in their mid 50s). The name Dudley Hilton comes to my mind right away.

This seems to be the right time to go for the job. Its been a while since Clay Co. was the favorite in the region going into the season. Whoever gets it has a decent shot at winning the region.

Clay Co, Shelby Valley, Middlesboro, and Greenup are also open.

It seems this is a good time to move on. Hes a hot name right now, as he should be, and Shelby Valley is obviously going to be down next year (not saying they can't be good, but down from the past couple years).

:confused: What trouble. Hes got a great program and does a great job at Scott Co.
