If #13 is a division 1 athlete then my 50+ years of high school basketball experience is worthless.  Maybe in Travel Ball/AAU setting she is.

Well...she holds 4 D1 offers as a Sophomore so I guess your experience is worthless.....

There are a lot of kids in that transfer portal because they sit when they get to the next level.  Just because you have an offer early does not mean it translates to being an effective player at the next level.  Just means some school wanted to be first to take a chance on a player to say they were first and not miss the opportunity.  The recruiting game is like going to the casino, it is hit or miss.  I hope all these kids make it to be honest these girls work hard and we all know the parents put enough money into the dreams of this young ladies.

I watched last night's game vs Oak Ridge on live stream and I knew she played well.  Then I saw today where she had 22 points and 26 rebounds.  Are those D1 numbers?

What happened to Blackman tonight?  Lost to a 4-5 Franklin team?

Actually Blackman won by 2.  Score was originally posted wrong.  Still don’t understand how game was this close though.  Any insight?

She’s without a doubt a division I volleyball player. Her bball game needs some development to reach that level.

FC out hustled Blackman! Played great defense and played at a fast pace. Does not have a lot of bench help.

Blackman has looked good in the preseason.  I was impressed with Cookeville in the summer but they did not look very good earlier this week.  Oakland will get better as the season goes on and Cleveland versus Bradley will be a battle all year in East Tennessee.  Lebanon should compete in a weak district and region but their youth will be exposed at the substate and state level.  I still say the champs will come out is the East 

Yrah. Bradlets closest game so far had been against Cleveland.

I think you also have to throw in Coffee and Warren into that mix.  The battle to get to Murfreesboro from that sub-state will be one to watch.  I saw that somewhere Bradley beat Blackman by 18 at Lebanon in a preseason play day.  I have also heard a lot about Bartlett but have not seen them play.

It was preseason so blackman probably didn't play starters. They did lose allot of players from last years championship whereas bradley just reloads every year
