Anthony Banks - Lancaster Christian

Rashid Gordon - Antioch High

Zach Hodskins - Ravenwood

Terry Holt - East Literature

Jericho Williams - Mcgavock

D'Andre Ferby - Ensworth

The kid from Wilson Central (can't remember his name)

I know this is going to sound crazy, but CPA has 4 counting Lindsey who could be on this list and play at the next level:

- Alsmiller (may end up being better prospect than Lindsey)- probably going to grow to 6'7" or 6'8", will fill out, and is one of the best shooters in the state.

- Wharton - still under 6', but based on family should have growth spurt, is incredibly fast, and a great athlete. The question is will he keep playing football and basketball, or just focus on one sport.

- Thomas Richard - been injuried a lot this year, but if he gets healthy should be a great player. Very athletic, should grow to 6'3" or better, and got a strong frame. Again, needs to get healthy.

Appreciate it...forgot about Alsmiller and Wharton..forgot they were just sophomores!! Both can definitely play. Don't think I have seen Richard play, however..

Don't forget about Andy Schumpert at Brentwood High. He's long and lean and can defend anyone - even Alex Poythress. Andy held Alex to his season low of 8 points (I believe) in BHS's win against Northeast!

 

 

 

Great topic Showcase. Although I'm not tired of hearing about Lindsey and Marberry, I do agree there are some serious players in the mix for 2014.

 

Andy Shumpert is the real deal. I may be mistaken but in that game he had multiple 3's AND put it on Poythress. I've watched this boy for years and he's solid as a rock.

 

Agree too with Jake Alsmiller. Another great kid with huge potential. Absolutely a top five'r in my book. He's also got the marketing machine of Maddux behind him as does Lindsey. This can't hurt. Be very interesting to see where he plays summer ball. This young man needs to be seen!

 

 

 

 

 

BoyHowdy will remain an AC (anonymous coward). I feel the comfort and security of an anonymous post brings out an honesty not found within the confines of accountability and transparency.

Ryan Sizemore of White House and Phillip Johnson of Hendersonville from Sumner County should wind up playing at the next level when they are finished with their h.s. careers. Sizemore is a versatile forward/guard and Johnson will be a solid F. Sizemore starts and plays most minutes for the Devils but Johnson is buried in the depth chart at H-ville. Look for him to excel next year after another summer of AAU ball.

My son played in the Grassland Rec League along-side a number of these kids, so I've seen them for a number of years. Jake Allsmiller, Duncan Smith, Nathan Moran, and there are probably others. My son, quit basketball after MS, and now just plays baseball and football. I agree there's a good deal of talent in this sophomore class in middle TN. However, it's a very strong class in baseball and football as well. It's been fun watching them grow-up and develop as athletes!

Cheatham County has a great sophomore class that is going to be good for the next 2 years after this year. The best member from the group is Jake Saunders. Saunders averages 14.7 points per game right now. 4 other members of that group are Jordan Darden, Wesley Harlan, Michael Boyd, and Mason Bates.

 

By the time these 5 guys are done playing at CCCHS they'll have been responsible for taking Cubs basketball to the state tournament..........book it!

Here's how I'd list the top 5:

 

Leron Black

Jalen Lindsey

Rob Marberry

Jake Allsmiller

Andy Schumpert

 

Thomas Richard, before his injuries, was on pace to be in the top 3 for sure. Hope he gets well and strong again because he's awfully fun to watch.

 

Thoughts, additions or deletions?

    • Well personally I see us going 9-1 so that isn't doom and gloom to me , Most people are thinking 6-4. Bearden will be the possible loss but hoping not. I was very impressed with what I saw this spring. 
    • the kid you are speaking about, played in JV games,  2H half Science Hill game, split time in Hardin Valley and Bearden and that was it.   The upcoming Senior RB was All Region as a Junior and is regarded by the media as one of the top running backs in East TN for 2024 season. Scouting services have him as a top 10 back in the state.  Something aint adding up with gloom and doom. Maybe he was hurt and not at spring practice when you watched?
    • It won't be long now, he gone.  
    • Are you kidding me?  You are just trolling now.  The new head coach's qualifications would be volunteer coach at the Oak Ridge Boys Club?  C'mon man, you can't be serious.  You're trolling us.  Anybody working at Clinton High School has to be like a cat in a room full of rocking chairs at this point.  They are coming after anybody and everybody that had knowledge of what was going on.  This is about to get real ugly.  Only in Clinton.  
    • So no way they can compete with the likes of McCallie or Baylor still then
