Cleveland may shock the world and stun East! Look out!

Cleveland is better than people think! Don’t be shocked if they hang around and don’t think that they have no chance. Wood and Johnson can completely control the game. They are definitely underdogs - yes. But this is a terrific group of guards that can handle the ball and really shoot it well. Good luck to the guys from Cleveland.

I don't think there are any such limits on Middle School. There are rules and limitations for HS.

Yes sir. East Hamilton may be the best team in the Chatt area- all classifications. What do you think TynerRamFan? E Ham better than Tyner? What happened last week?

Yes! Always best to call TSSAA and document the conversation. Interpretation of rules ends up being the opinion of those involved and the hope of the outcome being in their favor. NEVER trust a Rec league or even an AAU coach's opinion. I love what most coaches do to help kids develop and compete but some are very selfish and use kids for their talent. Call TSSAA!

100 year old argument. The rule is as shown. Opinions have always varied depending on a kid's role and potential future in the HS program. May shock some folks that I would say this, but IMO the HS season should be for HS ball ONLY and the AAU (or even Rec) season its own. I don't like the crossover of either. I'm also a proponent of multiple sport athletes not "focusing" on just one sport. If a kid plays football and basketball or baseball or all 3, how is he supposed to juggle all that is almost "required" to be successful and remain a part of the teams he is a part of? I wish a season was designated and there was no interference from the others. Never gonna happen though.....

It would seem that TSSAA and NFHSS would have better things to do...................... No Safety issues, No Advantage gained....What's all the fuss about? Let's just play ball!

Gonna be interesting at Baylor. Been a long time since they had a Coaching change here. Look out!

Looks like a pretty good list to me. Lots of Hatin on Lebanon. Not sure why? East Hamilton has good talent. Could make some noise in our area. Bradley lost the best player in the State, but always seem to be in the mix. Seems strange to see Riverdale in any spot other than the top? Does summer camp ball count? How did other schools look over the summer? I saw Arlington and Houston at East Ham last year. Lots of serious talent on both. Summer and Exposure ball is winding down and High School ball is right around the corner....... What is your top 10 GCPioneer? Is AAA really "wide open?"

Huge Tradition. Been down a little the past few years. Good young talent. Old gym. Probably hire a local guy.

Was there ever any doubt? Penny will have a great 2 year run on the recruiting trail. After that, his recruiting will be heavily impacted good or bad by 3 things: 1. Is he producing NBA draft choices? 2. Won / Loss record 3. NCAA tournament appearances I'm personally hoping Penny is really successful and U of M is back in the top 25! Go Tigers

Penny's ability to coach at the NCAA div. 1 level is a question mark. None of us know- we can all speculate. I'll go on the record as one who believes he should be given the opportunity at Memphis. He is a terrific alum and has done a great job at the HS and AAU / Exposure levels. Those are very different animals than going up against conference teams and achieving the goal of getting back in the National picture. Penny will attract high level talent in his first 2 years as young fellas will think this is their path to the NBA with a proven legend. After the first 2 years, we will all know if he "CAN COACH."

I would say Coach Green has many options. He has done very well. There is a certain school in Chattanooga that is open that could sway Green. Don't be shocked-------You heard it here first...............

Living in this area and reading all things basketball (all levels) it doesn't appear to me that anyone that matters is "whining" about anything. "Grow up and get over it" ???? Who are you referring to? LOL All I have read indicates that a 17 year old girl was "disappointed" and used that event to get incredibly motivated after she was not selected. Seems pretty normal to me. Ms. Howard is as special of a player as there has been in this area in a long, long time. Maybe summer ball would have garnered her a couple more votes for McDonald's, but my understanding is she knew where she wanted to go to school and decided to use her summer to work on her individual skills. Her hard work is obvious to all. And as for the "better offers" comment, would National Champion South Carolina qualify or maybe TN Lady Vols or should I go on with all those other major top tier programs that have chased her all over for 2 years only to be turned down by Ms. Howard? She may or may not win Ms. Basketball. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Mine is she is already Ms. Basketball. I hope she and other young folks ignore this stuff, but if you are looking in, good luck Ms. Howard. Chattanooga is proud of you. Now back to the thread about AAA "TEAM" basketball.
