dont forget about the titlow kid from greenback maybe a small school,but this kid is one of the best juniors around good size 6"4, 200lbs can jump out of the gym,turned greenback into a contender first year there as a sophmore.lead them to substate first time in 23 years.

[GovMan]

Landon Hunley from Farragut wil make a big impact this year.

 

 

I guarantee you, if he is a typical Hunley, he'll play as hard and with as much effort as anyone on the floor. I loved the way Riley played.

I agree with you. Landon has more god-given talent but we will have to see if his heart is as big. I think it is he just needs a little more confidence.

I know both landon and riley and he has twice the potential his older brother does and he will be huge this year for farragut. Confindence for him will be a huge key though.

After tonights game against Sunbright I disagree. #45 from Sunbright owned Titlow tonight and he is a nobody. Titlow is a good kid but I don't think you can put him on the list of "Knoxville's top players". Greenback is off to a rough start and I think they will struggle in their district/region. Don't get me wrong Titlow can look great at times but he's far from the other players on this list, whole different level. I'm not trying to be mean or single out a player just giving my honest opinion.

[Beefstew]

Here is the 5 guys I would want to build around.

1) Jalen Steele -- Fulton -- Proven Player

2) Ryan Click -- Maryville -- All around ball player.

3) Skyler McBee -- Grainger County -- Need I say more

4) Blake Jenkins -- Bearden -- Has more to prove then anybody.

5) Demonte Simpson -- Bearden -- His size is tough to go against.

 

Subs:

Pryor -- Austin East

Hood -- Lenoir City

Lopez -- Austin East

 

This is where I would start if I wanted to develop an All-Star team. Not to say these are the best 8, but they should complement each other very well.

sir, you are right about tonights game, i even went to talk to jerry about mykal because he just didnt look himself,undoubtly their was an accident monday night after practice on his way home,he didnt get hurt but he almost totalled his vehicle and they he was pretty upset over the ordeal,but to say this kid does not belong on the list of some of the best players in knoxville area you are wrong one game doesnt change that.I've seen this kid play aau and fall league he is a really good player.Greenback doesnt get region runner up,district runner up, substate birth without this kid,plays great defense and can score any where on the court,just ask gov-man and some of the area coaches that have coached or played against,this is just the third game,but after the way they played last night,not knowing his back ground i would have agreed with you,also when we needed the win who took over on defense and offense,i believe it was titlow who got us the lead with numerous blocks and steals in tne last five minutes,after that just let sabo hold the ball and get fouled.and these guys are going to be just fine got to get in sinc, only one practice with some of the football players back a little premature to bash yet,let them play some ball first.

I was at the game and agree, it did not look good for Greenback at all because Sunbright is a VERY weak team and really should have won that game.

If I was coaching a high school basketball team in the East Tennessee area this year, my first pick would be Jay Reynolds of Maryville. The guy is 6-10 and could end up averaging in the neighborhood of 20 points, 10 boards and 5 blocks per game on a very good AAA team. He is devastating at the high school level on both ends of the court. He also is totally unselfish and a great student to boot.

I agree totally with your assessment of Ryan Click. He is a lethal three point shooter and his decision making is excellent.
