Yeah I worked out against him last summer. Definitely doesn't play like a high school freshman.

He and Ricardo Gathers are two of the best players in the country. Period.

Haven't seen him play. Just picked up his name on the scouting reports from a few camps this summer.

I figured if someone at RHS was good I'd hear more about them but I haven't heard much on him.

And its hard to put a freshman as top players to watch for this year. Cause he hasnt played 1 minute of highschool bball yet. He must realllly be a stud to be on THE LIST

Did all of Timmy Bird's players follow him to Riverside? Do they have a shot to win 2A?

my little bro was a freshman last year(class 2012) at stmichael. I went to as many games as i could. And I saw him play Redemtorist and he really didnt dominate as I expected. Hes like 6'3 which is tall for his grade. My little bro is 6'1 and guarded him the whole night. The guy didnt have but maybe 10 points.

You are missing a lot of players in the 2011-2013 classes. Also have some players on your list that don't deserve a mention and have a player in the wrong class. If you are going to do the list, you should already know who the top players are and should have done research through the spring and summer. You need to go out and evaluate yourself not off what people here say. These people here have already given bad info. Do your own research and that is not through message boards.

Haha calm down man.

And since you are an expert, could you tell me if all of the Reserve kids went to Riverside with Bird?
And do they have a good shot at 2A?

I am calm, perfectly calm. I was just helping the young guy out. You can't put a list together if you don't know or haven't seen a kid.

As for Riverside, yes all are there from RCS except Roussell who graduated. He is at a D2 school.

I am calm. Not taking anything serious, but if somebody is going to do a list of players, at least be knowledgeable of the kids you listed before you put them down. He obviously doesn't know who the top players are and haven't seen them. I am sure he has seen the players that are a given to be top players but most he hasn't, and if he has then good. And for your comment on McGhee, the kid can play. Didn't get a chance last year. He will be a good player there this season at RHS.

Yes they can "win" not "when" 2A. LOL But Many will have something to say about it, so will Dunham, St. Thomas Aquinas and maybe some sleepers that could include Pointe Coupee Central.
