Tell that to the boys from Scott Co. after beating the #1 Team in the Country! We have the talent here. It just gets over looked for the flashy ones. OJ looked human the other night.

LOOKAYANNER Wrote:Hicks nor Stepp have the athleticism to play at the same level with Bradley. I don't always agree with some of Bradley's floor decisions, but the two players you mentioned are not in his category.
I agree with you. Hicks and Stepp wouldn't last in D-1 basketball, and I would take Bradley over those 2. Hicks and Stepp will probably play college basketball, Stepp definitely will because he puts up 30 points in offense that has him shooting 90% of the shots. Hicks might play college, it's untelling because you hear about all these great basketball stars going to move on and you can see 10 at HCC. Neither one will play D-1 basketball and if it is, then its a very, very small college that no one has hardly heard of or Morehead State.

I would take Stepp or Hicks over Bradley anyday. This is teamball not STREETBALL

Hicks or Stepp will not play D1 College Ball. They'll both end up playing for a local D3 or NAIA school.

If you can put the ball in the hole then you dont need another excuse. If Hicks or Stepp had Teammates like Scott County than it would be impossible to stop them, but since they dont they have to try to do it themselves.

Stepp isn't that good.

If either one of these kids make it D1 they will transfer back to a small school. Jody Thompson was better than both of them and he came back. Some of you guys must not know what playing college is all about. I'm not a Bradley fan but do you honestly think either one could take Bradley. The difference between D1 and NAIA, D2 or D3 is not being able to shoot the ball it's size and speed and neither player has that.

A true PG leads his team and makes smart decisions. Being Fast, Tall, or a good shooter dont have nothing to do with being a great PG. Hicks is one of the Smartest Basketball players I have seen in a long time. If he had good teammates that could put the ball in the hole he wouldnt have to shoot a lot.

I agree with the final statement you made but, if you can put the ball in the hole, than thats just one of the steps that you have to know. Of course theres dribbling, and passing, but thats almost a god given. Both Stepp and Hicks are guards, and one of the things a guard should know how to do is make other players around them better, and help them contribute to the game. Both of these players are good, and theres no doubt about that. But I'm not very familier with JBS, but I seen the game where JBS and Hazard played in the wymt classic and, Hicks didn't do much of anything in that game. And if I can recall right Clark Stepp didn't contribute much in that game either. It was Tate Cox for JBS, and the Williams guy from Hazard.

I played against Epps and Mills and played on the same team with Mills during the Ky/Indiana all star tryouts. They both had something about them that made them differnt. MIills was 6'5 and he was a walk on Epps 6'2 and was a proven winner at the state tourney against the best Ky had to offer. I also played with Scott Padgett who I thought would never make it so much for what I know. But JP Blevins and Stockton were great high school leaders who never really done anything. Stockton Mr. Basketball that year and Blevins can't remember if he won it or not but was at the top of the voting. Stepp or Hicks won't even be considered IMO.

Michael Jordan even had a few bad games. I mean come on, You know if Scott County's Head Coach asked Hicks to come play for him, you know hes good.

Take a look at this... this should be a good indicator of Tubby's recruiting skills: http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewrank.asp?ra_key=1439
Top 25 Point Guards in the Nation at this point... Kentucky isn't even on the list anywhere... with the exception of being in the running for Jai Lucas.

Same goes for Top 25 Shooting guards, Centers, and KY is not even on the list for the TOP 45 SMALL FORWARDS... and finally reaches the list for Power forwards... this is sad: http://rivalshoops.rivals.com/viewrank.asp?ra_key=1438

So you are saying Wayne Turner wasn't fast? You must not remember the same Turner as me. Shooter? No way. Speed? Yes sir!

sparks is the best 3 shooter ive seen n a long while plus very very clutch and on the alleyene thing it was tubbys fault he didnt suceed because he waited way to late to try to mould him at 7'3 n barely over 260 u need to get him liftin and eatin

ARBYS man did you see where Tubby took the blame for Thomas,s blunder for telling him to move?
