Is Ja'Kobi Gillespie the most underrated player in the State?

Belmont is getting a steal in Gillespie!  The kid performs best when playing against the toughest competition. He dropped 34 last night against #3 ranked Morristown East, put 35 points up in a win against Dr. Phillips the 14th ranked team in the nation, and had 28 against Amarillo, TX who is ranked 5th in 5a and hasn't lost since the Arby's Classic.

I don't think he is underrated. I am from West Tennessee, so I have to look at his stats and any video clips that are posted online or social media. He's a player for sure! 

I think the most underrated kids are from my area.

Jason Hunt at Peabody

Rico Sain II at Jackson South Side

Jaylin Anglin at West Carroll

RJ Robinson at Middleton

Alec Tipton at Collierville

The guard not named Amarr Knox at Bartlett

Demahri Wallace at Jackson North Side

DJ Genesy at Jackson North Side

A long list of West TN guys whose coaches have done very little to get them to the next level. Some for pretty good reasons though.

Ja’Kobi is an unreal talent and better kid. I got to coach him “a little” as a youngster as our kids played travel ball together. I’ll guarantee you Belmont is getting a DIAMOND!  He’s an unreal competitor and athlete. Wish him the best. No idea about the others mentioned, but this was a Kobi thread so I’m only commenting on him.

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
