Freshmen

[Cap1]

Science Hill is dressing 3 maybe 4 freshmen this year. One of them is the younger brother of SH great Jerome Odem (Josh Odem). One of the other freshmen (Ashlon Adams – 6’4” 185 lbs and only 14 years old) COULD BE one of the top recruited athletes in the state for basketball and football IF HE WAS COACHABLE!!!

 

Justin Sylvester from DB is easily the best freshman prospect in East TN! It looks like he is going to do his time on the Junior Varsity team but could easily be a starter for DB’s Varsity!!!!

Skylar McBee of Rutledge is a Freshman and scored 15 against Anderson County last night in HOF game as Rutledge won 78-68. He should definitely be considered on of the top Freshmen in the area. He was 6 of 8 from the field last night.

 

 

McBee is definitely towards the top.....

The best by far has to be Blake Jenkins of Bearden. He is son of former Vol Fred Jenkins. Blake is 6'4 and Bruce Pearl is all over him.

I wasnt impressed by him last year

There are some really good freshman in east tennessee. I watched many middle scholl ball games last year. I went all over and watched kids play. The ones that stood out most to me was Balke Jenkins, Jerome Odem, Caleb Bunch, Skylar Mcbee, and Isacc Smith. These are some of the best players I seen play last year. Along with the two 6'4 guys---Patrick Albright and Ashlon Adams. They will more than likely get taller and if they do...they will be some powerhouses in the future. My top 4 freshman would be: Jerome Odem, Ashlon Adams, Caleb Bunch, and Blake Jenkins.

One of the best freshman i have seen is Chase Dunn from Livingston Academy,or Judah Akers at Cookeville high.

db has the best freshman class of anyone in east tennessee. sevier middle won the middle school conference last year, and robinson finished 3rd i believe. science hill was 2nd. now add justin sylvester (by far the best freshman in the area, at all 3 sports might i add) to seviers team of dustin mcconnell, jordan edwards, matt osborne, michael willis, and a few others, and they should be unbeatable around here in 2 or 3 years.

It was Vance Middle school that finished 2nd in the conference (HOW BOUT THEM VIKINGS) … and before you start handing out MVP awards I think you should take a good look at 6’4” 185lb Ashlon Adams from Science Hill. Pound for Pound as good as Sylvester in basketball and football and he has size to his advantage (14 years old and still growing). I do have to admit that Sylvester has the heart of a LION … a fierce competitor that always strives to be the best!!! Adams on the other hand knows he’s the best and is always out to prove it (NOT GOOD). If the coaching staff can break this young stallion (Adams), these two should bring in many D1 scouts to our area! They are both excellent students from what I understand.

i agree if the Adams kid is the one im thinkin about. he was a heck of a player. however, no one will be better than sylvester just because he does have a big heart and he works every single day at his game. i know this for a fact that he would come home from football practice, and go out in the back yard and shoot basketball pretty much every day. i honestly believe the sleeper of this class is gonna be the mcconnell kid from db. he was about 5'9" last year, and i saw him in their practice the other day and he is now aobut 6'1" or 6'2". i watched sevier's game with science hill in the tournament and in the 1st quarter i saw him take a pass at the top of the key and immediately shoot the 3 from close 2 nba range, and make the shot. that tells me 2 things, 1) this kid can shoot the ball for him to even attempt a shot like that immediately after catching it, and 2) he has alot of confidence in his game, which is even better. another thing about him, he rarely hurts his team with turnovers and dumb plays. he plays within his game and doesn't play out of control like a couple on sevier's team did.

 

it should be interesting to watch this class grow...

I agree!

Is the McConnell kid the one that broke his arm last year?

I agree!

Is the McConnell kid the one that broke his arm last year?

 

yes it was either his 7th grade or 8th grade year, but i know he is the kid that broke it. i will say this though, he is the best freshman shooter in the area, goin by what i saw last year...

I have not seen many freshman play but there is a freshman for Cleveland High named Monte Scotten and he has gotten a lot of minutes in the first couple games. He will be a threat when he gets some age.
