Former TN High School Standouts

[SweetH2O83]

Parade All Americans are the top players in the nation There are 4 teams of ten people. Here are 2 that no one has even mentioned.

 

Orlando Lightfoot (Chattanooga City) #4 team (Could not make the grade)

Malcolm Mackey (Chattanooga Brainerd) #2 team

Played for Georgia Tech and helped win an ACC Championship

Played on state championship team with Jay Price, how could someone mention Jay Price

and not Malcolm Mackey

 

 

I played against Orlando and the boy was BAD!!! My brother's HS team played against Lorenzen Wright and his HS team and beat them to go on to win a state championship. Lorenzen was good, but he couldn't hold a candle to Orlando or Malcolm.

I would agree Tyler is probably done after this year. He has the potential to be a top 10 pick. JP Prince is doing well also, he just needs to get used to SEC speed of play.

 

Also, I would like to give props to Jamont Gordon. He is tremendous at Miss. State. I feel he is one of the best all around guards in the SEC, if not the best. Averages: Pts. 17.5 Rebs. 6.7 Assit. 4.2 TO's. 3.6 Stls. 1.1 Blks .8 FG% .441.

 

Well TSmith might stay its a up in the air thing. I looked at 5 pre-draft predictions and they have him between 16 and 24.
