Hey Stokomo,

I read that you are an aau coach. Iam the Tennessee correspondent for the Hoop Scoop. I would love to talk with you about some of your players and some of your opinions on other area players. Email me at drewhitehead@aol.com and share some of your insight. thanks

 

hey sharpshooter12 How's it going.

[kmarvelous]

Yeah your right Hawk. I play in Grahmn's district and he's almost unstoppable. It's unbelivable. He's just 5'6 or 5'7 and it's like he can pull up from anywhere on anyone. It will be something playing against him this year. I'm sure he's improved and will be even better this year.

Sports, you're crazy, Lee Humprey went to the Nike camp this year and was ranked in the top 50 of the camp! He will also play college basketball for UF, University of Florida! Stokomo, have you seen Maryville play? They have experience in every spot but one and return nearly every starter. They will be a little short handed on big men until football ends and until Drew Houser recovers from a broken wrist, but he will be back and stronger than ever! Last year against Willie B. they didn't beat us, we beat us, they forced us to play something we weren't used to and we choked, we didn't have anyone step up, don't think that will happen this year! If you shut down Lee we will have two 6'6" SF's or 3 guards to beat you with the dribble or the shot, also down low we have a pair of 6'4" big men that both bench about 300 pounds and have 30+ inch verticals. Our point or sg will be a tough spot to fill, but we will certainly get it done and we'll be a tough team to beat.

We played a few p[layers from Maryville and the whole team from William Blount in the AAU Sub-state in Knoxville. From what I saw, and no disrespect, Lee will be the only real competitive player that Maryville has. Although he is one of the best in the state, he cannot do it by himself when tourney time comes. There may be someone who will step up for Maryville, but from what I saw this past spring, Lee is the only real competitor.

I received some info on the kid from Detroit, transfer. I heard he is Nookie Bailey's cousin and is better than Nookie was. Can't wait to see him play!!!!

[Surf4life]

The kid from Detroit is Nookie's cousin? I forgot his name but I remember his last name is Wilbourne. He's a junior. Better than Nookie Bailey? I am liking the sound of this. Now I definetly can't wait for basketball season! Thanks a lot Stokomo

[Stokomo]

Remember that is what I HEARD. I haven't seen any of them play so I can't judge for myself. My source is pretty credible. I just can't believe he could be better than Nookie. Nookie to me is the best guard to come out of East TN in a long time. He just made some bad choices.

[MaryvilleRebels]

Umm...we hardly send anyone to anything in the spring, excpet our JV players! Our varsity players either work or they play football!

[Stokomo]

Hey..there's no need to make excuses. I know where most of the players we played against. Anyway...just remember who beat William Blount and who didn't. We will never settle it until Maryville can get to where Science Hill seems to be consistantly each year. Get there and we'll see. One piece of advice, it takes a team to get there, no matter how good your one star might be.
