Who is the best sophmore in Tennessee?

[maroonandgrey]

Corey Young from Tennessee High. He's got what it takes.

great talent for sure but he got shut down vs DB and Justin lit him up in the regular seasong matchup at Viking Hall.

Not even the best in his own conference. Not saying Justin Sylvester is, but he has manhandled him all season long when he was matched up against him. Outscored him and outdefended him. Not even close.

Ryne Simpson and Bj Marshall are two multi-talented players for the Union City Golden Tornadoes. Oh Yeah, not to mention the best sophomore rebounder, also from UC, Brandon Easley.

Leslie Mcdonald and Marlon Brown are out of his range......Leslie is ranked #11 in the nation...Drew Kelly isnt even mentioned in the national rankings

He may not be ranked now, but he will be. Take a look at the class of 2007 rankings when they were Sophomores. It has changed considerably. It matters more what you are ranked when you are a Junior/Senior than it does for a Sophomore. Kelly happens to be tall and strong - you can't teach that and there are not that many of them out there. He will be ranked nationally. They just missed him. He will be on the radar after this AAU season.

 

However, I do agree that he is not in Leslie McDonald's league.

Lets talk numbers. Drew Kellys final averages, 24.8ppg, 11.7 reb, 5.3 blks. he scored 30+ 7 times this season 38 once. Centennial was 6 - 3 when he got 30+ they were 11- 0 when he got between 25 and 30. The team was 23-10 this season, put out by Antioch in the region on Sat. The games that I saw, he was doubled in the first half, then tripled in the second half, and he still put up sick numbers. The guy is a beast. Being recruited by most of the SEC and all mid-majors in the southeast.

 

All of this in AAA ball. What other soph can match and beat those numbers? Drew will play for the Celtics this summer, this will be his first real exposure to the national scene. The majors will be most interested in him.

I forgot to add, he is already over 1200 points for his career.

If Drew Kelly wants to be nationally ranked he needs to play against nationally ranked players and teams. Its one thing to excel in school ball but a whole different ball game when you play AAU or similar type programs where you compete against the best of the best.

Still not better than Leslie Mcdonald

Gentry Hines...first team All-District tournament 14AAA.

Corey Young must be put on this list. You say that Sylvester manhandled him when they played but if this is so why does Cory Young lead the battle of the 2 super sophmores 2 to 1 and Young made 2 free throws to win the game in one of those??? Dont sound to be too manhandled if you ask me....
