CIA Bounce suffers its first loss of the EYBL after starting 14-0. Mean Streets not far behind at 13-2. Kendrick Nunn really playing well.

Interesting to see if young will continue the meteoric rise.

Wow. Williams doesn't seem like the type to talk smack. Especially to a kid like Wiggins who is so quiet most of the time.

Don't think he's UK material, but was impressed with Jack Whitman (about 6-8 or 6-9) last winter when LexCath played Archie Goodman's HS team. Nice to see him have a good game (I assume that is the same Jack Whitman). Might make a nice pickup for Sean Woods down at Morehead.

Agree. Very surprised on both ends of that.

Same here. He's been solid in the EYBL. He's going to play his way into a really good opportunity somewhere. Reminds me somewhat of a young Jorts.

Looks like a guy that you would see at a place like Notre Dame. Very workman-like in the paint.
The Travelers haven't had much success, but he's played well.

Definitely. Fits that profile to a T.

Has the staff been looking at this Barber kid the point guard? I thought I read an article a while back that said they were starting to get interested..He seems
to be quite a player.

I'd say they'd only get serious if they start to fade with the Harrisons (not likely).

This.
I actually love Cat Barber and Kasey Hill and think they would both be great fits but UK not likely to ever get involved because of the Harrisons and Hill is committed to Florida.

I like both Barber and Rysheed Jordan, but think we end up with the Harrisons. AsI said in another thread, if they need a 3rd guard in this class I'd love combo guard Xavier Rathan-Mayes
