I believe so.

I don't know who needs to hear this but the Skyy Clark kid is as good as advertised!!! I watched him against Brentwood High which is normally one of the better teams in the area. He gave them 51 without being a ballhog.

I've never seen him play.  I have seen B.J Edwards.  Everyone who watched the IMG game last year agreed he was clearly the best guard on the floor that night.  I'll eventually see Skyy play.  He must be good to sign with Kentucky.

Lol. Everyone told me that IMG wasn’t trying at all that game. Are you saying BJ is better than Jaden Springer AND Skyy Clark?  I hope we get to see Ensworth and Catholic play this season

What I'm saying is it's my opinion.  Sorry that it's not yours but I guess thats what makes people people isn't it....free will? Anyway I hope we get to see them match up too.  I'm sure your connections kept you in the loop regarding the IMG/Catholic game, I was there at the game and it makes perfect sense for IMG to come all the way to Tennessee from Florida to not try, after losing to Briarcrest weeks earlier, and all those players (who are friends and played AAU) not to give any effort.

I was at the Catholic game last night.  BJ was guarded by a 5'7" kid from Bearden and only scored 11 points.  He did not look like an SEC-caliber player to me last night, but that was the only game I have seen him play.

I was there too and it looked like the game plan was to get the ball inside to a 7’0 center who scored 22. If that’s your opinion that’s your opinion I’m not going to belittle you because we have different opinions (it’s bad enough that I catch a lot of grief from my friends and students because I believe Jordan is better than LeBron) . I can respect that. I’ve seen him play against Gonzaga Prep out of DC, Gray Collegiate in SC, The Christ School and other schools with highly recruited kids and he’s done more than hold his own. But everyone has their own opinions. Speaking of what’s your view on Knox County shutting down the winter sports? I hate it for the athletes. I know COVID is serious but football seem to go untouched.

Big win by Christian Brothers AT Ensworth over the weekend.  It looks like CBHS and MUS out of Memphis will be big threats this year.

The middle region should be very competitive this year and I think anyone will be able to beat anyone in league play.  It may come down to who is the healthiest in February and March!

Jordan all day and twice on Sunday.  BJ is a great high school player, we just disagree on him compared to Skyy Clark and Springer.  It is a shame Knox Co. has shut down sports.  The kids are safer in sports than in the classroom in my opinion.  In the classroom they sit all day in close proximity to others and at lunch it there are no masks and just like normal.  Knox Co. does not care about kids or sports and has a complete lack of leadership from the top down based on what I have seen this year.

I don't the younger generation appreciate Jordan's competitive fire.
