I have to agree with coach JG. The Bradley Central guys, Gulmire of Oak Ridge and Gaskin of Maryville were my favorite players to watch this year. That said, they are not true D1 material, maybe LOW D1. If anyone went to the adidas high school all-star game last week at Thompson-Boling, then you would see what D1 players look like. Actually, Gulmire, Andy Tipton, Pasqua, Dean and others did a half-time three point shooting contest and you could just see the difference between our East Tenn boys and the D1 recruited players in the game. Don't get me wrong--I love watching these guys, and they are the best of east Tennessee. But unfortunately we are not a big area for men's basketball.
Good luck to to Hare at Belmont, Tipton at CN, Gaskin and Gulmire (wherever you choose to go), and thank you all for a great high school basketball season.
