This is a good poll. All 7 AAA players are from East Tn. But that's cool cause everyone knows there is no talent in Memphis ( :confused: ). Seriously, though, good job knoxcath; It's too bad there aren't many West or Middle people voting, but that's cool. Keep up the good work.....

gomab2 is right - I didn't realize it but all these AAA guys are from east tn - why aren't you "power houses" I keep reading about from west and central tn not voting for your boys? If they deserve a vote from Nashville to the Mississippi River vote for them at knoxcatholic@hotmail.com (don't leave a deserving player out"

[nick32]

Because the top AAA players are all from east Tennessee doesn't necessarily mean that they are not deserving. I agree that this is somewhat of a popularity contest but in A and AAA the players all all very deserving. I think on anybody's top ten list (except for Gomab's) anyone that has seen the players named would have them. I would place money that the AAA players should be in the top ten and so are the A ones. Gomab's list has all these in the top 25 though I don't agree with all the placements of them. I am sure that middle and west Tennessee has some players just as good as Humphry, Hare, Pickel, Smith, Bradley, Dozier, Britt, but I don't think they can be any better than these. And I think that Chambers and Skogan more than proved their worth last year. So what I am saying is that you can vote for your favorite players on here, but so far the favorites are also some of the best ball players in the state. I would bet my money on them.

[sportsphan]

To Gomab: Just wondering how many of the players you have seen play high school ball or are the players put on your list because of aau. The ones I saw on your list are good. I don't know some of the players. Jujuan Smith is very very very talented. There is nobody else on his team so he has to do it all. Sometimes that makes him not look as good but sometimes it makes him look even better than he is in the stats because he has to do all the scoring. I think the same thing with Lee Humphreys. He is very good too but his stats are even better because nobody else does much. Wadley and Skogan have to share the points, assists, and rebounds. If you judge by stats, then that makes them not look as good. BUT they did direct their team to a state championship last year. Hare and Pickel-- same story. They got a lot of glory because they were surrounded by great players, but they did not have the impressive stats because they shared with other good players. Again, they directed their teams to a state tournament game. Will they be able to do that this year? When you look at how good a player is look and see how he performs agains the good teams. Not all players play aau.

Thanks for the Poll, Knoxcath.......................and congrats to my boys: Jamar Jenkins, Sir Lee Mason, Brian Fisk, Montrelle Crittendon, Wadele Williams, Ben Britt, and Ricky Harper.........

[sportsphan]

How many of these can actually make all state? Is it possible for two from the same teams to make all state like Wadley and Skogan or like Hare and Pickel? Do you have to play on a good team to make all state because that wouldn't be fair to Juan Smith or Ben Britt. I think all these guys are good players and maybe shold all be all state in regular season.

[fastereddie]

i was just curious as to who he was and his position. I saw bradley play about 3 times this summer and while they were very solid at all the peremiter spots, I thought it was obvious that Hare was the best player. So I was just trying to remember the pickel kid. Thanks
