In defense of RebelBred, I think he could have possibly gotten back to the title game b/c there is a ton of talent walking around the halls of Boyle County that would have played 3 or 4 years ago. I don't know if the kids just don't want to put in the time, or that they don't like the coaches or maybe they have better things to do but when Chuck was here every athlete in the school was dying to play football and that isn't the case anymore.

I agree that Revere is the real deal and has more appeal to pro scouts at this point in time. But it is not fair to compare high school schedules. Catholic has much more overall talent and also is a 3A school. Witten also impresses during the summer leagues where he plays some of the top talent around.

I agree, Ijames is going to make a great player. He is one of the top hitters in the state and has to be mentioned along with Witten and Revere. I think people tend to forget about him because he is not from louisville or central kentucky.

To say that Witten is only a "good" highschool player or that you weren't impressed by him is absolutely laughable. I have seen him play numerous games and he does not throw 94, he may have hit it once or twice but he consistently throws 86 to 92. The harder he throws the more straight his ball gets which makes it easier to make contact. His biggest problem in pitching is throwing an effective off-speed pitch. At the plate he hit over .600 last year with 25 homers and 60 plus RBI's. This year he hasn't seen as many pitches b/c he more often than not gets intentional walked. When he does get to see pitches he has been pressing a little too much b/c of the amount of pressure he puts on himself. There are pro scouts at all his games, if he wasn't that impressive i doubt that they would be there. As far as who is better at the highschool level I really can't tell you but as far as which one will get drafted higher or has more pro protential at this point I would have to say Revere. The main thing that puts Revere ahead of Witten is his amazing speed. They both are great hitters with great power and great arms, but Witten doesn't possess the speed that Revere has and that the pro scouts covet.
