Keith Hardaway recruitment.....

[Guest marcusaurelius]

What schools are recruiting the Munford star? Will he likely go the JUCO route and what position is he projected to play at the next level?

 

Thank you!

Is he related to Penny Hardaway

[coachdm]

Keith and Penny are third cousins. The schools that have shown the most interest are UT-Martin (a coach has been to just about every game), Arkansas State, and Union Unviversity. Northwest Junior College out of Mississippi, Itawamba, and Southwest C.C. in Memphis have all shown great interest. He will probably play the 2 guard because of his great shooting and passing skills.

Is he wanting to go D-I, or is he just wanting to someplace where he can play and make an impact right away?

[coachdm]

He does want to go D-1, but a lot of it will rest on his ACT score, as it does with every player out there. Anyone who has seen Keith play knows that not only does he have the ability to get a D-1 scholarship but also make an impact on that level probably right away if he gets the chance. I think he will be one of the more surprising recruits in the state, because no one is really talking about him outside of West Tennessee.

Yeah, he and Jaycen Herring are two of the most underrated players in the state, and they're in the same district!

 

I've always enjoyed watching Keith play, he's going to be a very good player wherever he goes in college.

Thanks, everyone!

You're welcome!

Opperman, I totally agree with you about Jaycen Herring. He has a lot of talent and his stock will rise in the years to come. Also congratulations to Bartlett for winning the inaugural Mayor's Trophy in Memphis. I hope we get a chance to play you again in the district finals.

I was hoping you guys would pull it out tonight, but Bolton was just good enough to hold you off. I wanted to try to meet you afterwards, but I had to get ready to broadcast the Bartlett game.

 

Good luck against Millington, and good luck in the Region.
