Name some of the best backcourt duos in the state. Where would stewart & twilley @ shelbyville rank in this group? My #1 backcourt is Richard & Reginald Delk.

Does anybody know the name of the ref that called the technical during the Ballerz/Travelers game? I would like to send him an invitation to the "Nobody comes to see you referee camp". That guy couldn't hide the fact who he was for.

I was just wondering after seeing them in two totally different games what do people think about the Delk twins.

This will be a high scoring game. I look for Ramon Williams to have a big game. I saw the Colts against Maplewood and Bubba Taylor was able to get to the rim with dribble penetration. Ramon will be able to do that as well. Ramon will get about 18 but Reginald Delk will go for 25. He shines the brightest when he goes against a high ranking classmate. (just ask JP Prince) Don't get me wrong Jamont will get his too.

Cardinal you are so right!!!!! Mid State Ballerz baby!!!! Big time expectations this year. Throw in Jeff Smith & Randon Floyd from East Tenn. We have the makings of something special.

I believe there is a better chance of Elvis showing up at the game than DB has of winning. White Station in a laugher. CP will put on a showin this one.

Didn't these two teams meet around Christmas. With Rhea Co winning by about 15. I know Devin, Adareus and Lucas didn't play. But Randon Floyd didn't play for Rhea. The key is Oakland handling Rhea Co press. I don't think Rhea will be affected by the crowd. Getting the ball to Zach Hyatte is really important in this game.

Oakland is worthy of a top 5 ranking. I saw them play around Christmas and didn't come away impressed. But after seeing them play Tuesday against Riverdale I would put them in the top 5. Randy King has them playing good ball right now. I think Oakland is a state tournament team.

Wouldn't Randy help as far as depth? I'm just thinking on down the line. You will probably need an extra body when they play Riverdale/Blackman again. Because if you were at the Blackman game you saw that some of their backups have a hard time guarding their opponent. This will hurt when tournament time gets here.

What happened to Randy Tate & Coach King? It seems every year someone is kicked off of Oaklands team. What's going on?

If you want to see awesome..... Go watch Jamont Gordan play. I had a front row seat when he lit Blackman up. I also had a birds eyey view of his bad attitude on the floor. Sorry to disappoint all the nay-sayers but the guy doesn't have a tude problem he just plays ball. Jamont is the #1 jr. may be the best in any class.

I'm picking Bradley by at least 5. I believe in big games that guard play makes the difference. Outside of White Station Bradley has the best backcourt. Also Bradley will have the edge in the coaching department.

I think Brian Fisk had a pretty awesome year last year. Probably was deserving of Mr. Basketball. If you are talking about right now Corey Brewer is the best player in AA.

I don't know what basketball some of you have been watching, but I did see Corey score 40 at AAU Nationals this summer. (and he didn't have 20 dunks either) To say that Tyler his better than Corey RIGHT NOW is crazy. A 6'8 2 guard compared to a 6'6 post player..... Who's fooling who.

You forgot Charles Hampton

Does Westview open their season on Nov 29 against Haywood County? If so... what time and where?

How did Jason Black play? Is he back from the foot injury?

The other Delk twins name is Richard. The odds on favorite in AAA is Shawne Williams from Memphis Hamilton.

I'm sorry but did Andre Allen or Corey Brewer graduate early? How can anyone pick Tyler Smith over these two guys.

Is the Oakland football program going down the drain? Why does a school with that big of an enrollment only have 30-something players? It makes no sense. Could somebody enlighten me. Is the coach the problem, new schools opening? This needs to change.

spoken like a true Patriot (Oakland 2001). I must admit these player rankings are pretty good. When you look at what the Ballerz team did this summer you could understand why. When you win over 30 games and finish 12th at AAU Nationals thats should be reason enough.

No the Travelers and Ballerz did not play this year. Tennessee Dream did beat the Ballerz. Whats your point? If you don't like the player rankings I suggest you compile a list and post it on here. Its always easy to criticize someone when you are afraid to stick your neck out.

Smyrna will probably win 10 games this year. They are poorly coached. They shouldn't have let Mooney come back after he quit to take the Cookeville job.

Congrats on a great tourney. My question to you is why, after your win over the Ballerz on saturday, were you more concerned about asking some of their players to come play with you in the nationals than you were to celebrate a victory by your team? My second question to you is if these kids wanted to play for you don't you think they would already be with you? My third question is wouldn't it have been morally correct to ask their coach for permission to talk to these guys? My fourth question is why when the players were shaking hands were you making the comment " I bet you wished you would have played for us". This makes me wonder what you are in this for. Its selfish guys like you that gives AAU coaches a bad name.

Great post, jk.... It's nice to have someone actually post something constructive on here.... Jk... that's exactly what I want to see: a record number of Tn HS hoopers this year signing Division 1, especially at the loaded PG position.... Congrats to Gulmire for his 26 ACT. Reiley Ervin is on the same page, with a 27 ACT. It would be hard to post everyone's academics, because I don't know most of them. I know Jason Black has a 21 ACT.... Taylor is a very good player, and a top 20 PG... Now Carl: Post something constructive for once. Quit whining on here. If you dont' like the rankings, either do your own or don't read them. That simple. Why don't you get off these boards and go play in a tournament or something.... Congrats again on all the Top PG's in the state of Tn! Let's get as many kids as we can to D-1 schools this year!!!!!
