Gomab's Top 100 Sophomores

[GoChargerettes]

Gomab, on your list of sophomores, it is ROB Bledsoe, not Drew! Drew Bledsoe is in the NFL. I'm sure Rob would like to be making the money that Drew is making, but he's not! Thanks! Good Luck TN Travelers and McMinn Central Chargers

Derek Cline of Unaka.Pt. guard ,came on really strong at the end.

How can you say Gomab puts too much emphasis on AAU. AAU is how kids get notiiced. Random colleges coaches don't just come to random high school games. AAU is what it's all about.

Congrats to Jody Fersner of Karns. Knoxville's KIL sophmore of the year!

I agree to an extent on that coment space. They will get noticed due to the fact that most AAU teams is a complimation of good players, so the college coaches will "kill 2 birds with one stone" so to say. But the recruiting is going to be done in the high school setting and with the high school coach.

Gomab's I seen Jeremy Wilson PG from South Fulton play in Alabama and Memphis and he held his own 20 points in both games against some good ball players I think he should at least be in the top 50 through 100.

 

Thank You

Wow!! Dug that one up from October?? Anyway, I think that Gomab sees more kids play in AAU ball than he does in High School games. Some players styles are more suited to some coaching styles, which allows them to be better.

 

A perfect example is Barry Turner, who Gomab has rated in the 70s. Barry made the All State Tournament Team this season, so based on his High School play, he would probably be rated much higher than 70 something. I also think that Gomab tends to gravitate towards the guards and wing players at the expense of true post players. Just my opinion.

 

Regardless, I have great respect for Gomab. He works hard at this and does a great job.

Itz... I gravitate towards players that can play...

 

Turner is good, but he is a 6'3 Post, which does not bode well for the next level...

 

And yes, AAU is the place to talent, and how they match up against the best in the Country...

Gomab, I respect what you do...I think that comes through in my posts. Disagreeing a bit is not intended to minimize your expertise...it is clearly much broader than mine. However, one can look at your rankings and see certain trends, that's all I'm saying. I understand that your ratings are based primarily on potential to play at the next level, not on their current contribution to their teams. It's a different way of looking at players.

 

So I guess you'll keep Barry at 73rd? BTW, when and where are the 16U Boys States being played this year?

6'3 or not, all I know is that the kid couldnt be stopped that past weekend at sub-state and I hope he continues to be amazing at state and nationals!

[gomab2]

I agree, Barry is playing very well... I will see him this weekend, but most of my rankings looks toward the Future... I'll see you there Revollette....

Thank you for finally looking into Revelette. I hope he will soon be on your top 100 list.
