Reed Shepherd was posting bigger numbers in his 8th grade year at North Laurel. Watched Reed come up, you could tell he was D1 bound by middle school.
Rajon's son won't be at North Oldham in a couple of seasons, he'll do like his old man and go to prep school type program, or a bigger HS program in Louisville.

I have a hard time believing that’s the #1 team in Kentucky or those are just the highlights and they didn’t show a lot.
There wasn’t a single player that looked to be over 6’4 on either team.
They're not the number one team in Kentucky. St X was ranked 18th in the latest KY RPI High school rankings.

Looks good , but the #1 team in Kentucky looks pretty soft. I thought Kentucky would have great high school bball.

The rules of B-Ball certainly have changed since I was last semi-interested in the game.
The way that kid was dribbling the ball would have been called for "Palming" every time he had the ball and was moving around the court.
It’s insane what they let middle school kids get away with, much less pros.

If that was the #1 HS team in KY, then KY high school basketball sux.
They were playing against Louisville St. Xavier (the team in white with green and gold trim), who is probably a top 50-ish team in the country this year. Certainly no powder puff team - they have 6 guys between 6'5" and 6'9" on their 12 man, including 3 high level D1 recruits and 1 kid in particular who is already being courted by all the major powerhouses, Louisville and Kentucky included. St. X in Louisville is about what Jesuit in New Orleans (or like a Loyola in Chicago or St. X in Cincinnati or similar) is like in terms of influence, network, money for sports, what have you.
Decent chance Rondo's kid actually ends up playing there himself next year (no penalty for transferring after 8th grade year, and a lot of North Oldham kids end up at St. X as it is).

#1 in Courier Journal, #1 in On3, #4 in MaxPreps. Probably by far the most talented team in the state this year. Only lost to two teams in state this year (Male and North Oldham), both by a bucket, and in both cases, St. X had beaten them either in a rematch or earlier in the year.
There is no chance that there are 3 better teams in Kentucky than St. X this year, much less 15.
In the RPI rankings you referenced, St. X has beaten #1, #2, #6, and #7 and somehow is sitting at 16th in the rankings. That math ain't mathing.

So like I said those were just highlights against their mid tier players. No matter how good an 8th grader is, if he is playing 3 highly recruited 11 and 12th graders he is not going to look like an all star all game.
