I've been evaluating officials at the KBG all this week and have seen some great talent. Here's my take on each one a team from around here is recruiting, and especially UK's.
Scotty Hopson, University Heights. An exceptional athlete that can do it all, but he knows he's good, and it affects his game. I'm not sure he would fit anywhere he's not the star. A kid on his team named Edmonson is a much better team player, although not as talented as Hopson.
Dakota Euton, Rose Hill. Big strong kid that can shoot. I think he's about 6'6" and not 6'8" like published. He is young and makes things happen in the HS game because he is a hard worker, but will have difficulty playing the same game in college. He absolutely can't jump. He will certainly benefit from 2 more years in HS.
Wesley Witherspoon, Berkmar Ga. I only saw him for a little over 1 quarter. 6'8" slinder kid and very athletic. His Ga team played Ballard and when they pressed, he brought the ball up the court. He didn't have a lot of help, but is the real deal. I would have to say, we need to stay after him.
Noel Johnson, Fayette County Ga. In my opinion, he's the best overall player in the tournament. 6'6" or 6'7", very athletic, great shooter, excellent ball handling skills, good rebounder. I would love to see him in Blue!
Chad Jackson, Rose Hill. Very athletic, but too short for a 3 in college. He can shoot and handle the ball very good, but he's asked to play out of position in HS. A team player, that will be an asset wherever he goes.
I have to edit the comment about the kid from Manuel, he isn't playing anymore and is transfering.
I may have missed some, but that's how I see them.
