Wow, look at this, before kywildcat01 came along, I actually showed praise for Holmes.

Holmes ranked #26 on Rivals 100 - Kentucky Sports Forum - BlueGrassRivals

kywildcat, you try to knock me so much, but you really just don't have a clue.

All that proves is your immaturity man.

I could honestly care less what you think about ME, but you let it affect how you look at Holmes as well. Those boys work hard everyday and I have nothing to do with their play so for you to quit supporting them because of a fan is very childish.

Despite what some of the SV fans say, I still support them and if you look at my posts during the All "A", you'll see this.

I've said time after time that if someone has a problem with me, take it to the pm's....no need for anyone to bash KIDS or say negative things about a team because of a fan.

This is a FORUM. No need for anyone to get fired up over anything said on here.

You're fighting a losing battle brother.
If you get on here with an opinion that differs from others you're instantly just bashing the kid because you're "not from the mountains." Whether you repeatedly credit the athlete or not, if you don't think he walks on water, you are wrong.
No opinion on Timmy Knipp. If he is going to go to a big time D1 school, it will be shown by the offers he receives. No one's opinion is going to be swayed by posts on a message board.

Who?:lmao:

Yeah, I'm sure you would be laughing when all 6'6'' of him comes flying in and dunks it from the free throw line! Those are the kind of hops he's got!

Who?:lmao:

Thats who! Get to know him because you're gonna hear alot about him next year!

Elijah Pittman and Ricardo Johnson both made the Sweet 16 all tourney team as sophomores.Go back and look at recent sweet 16 all tourney teams and you'll see that it's happened more often than you think.

And I did watch the Holmes/EC game...over and over again. Pittman posted Knipp up, took him off the dribble and dunked twice, and hit a few mid range jumpers with his hand in his face. Don't believe me? You can re-watch the game on either ihigh.com under the KY link or on the khsaa video page. Knipp was on Pittman more than you're thinking. Nobody else could match up with him.

As far as Knipp playing at a higher level than Pittman, that is probably correct but not because of talent, but rather Pittman doesn't have the grades to play D1 RIGHT NOW. Coach Cal, Bob Huggins, Mick Cronin, and the Oklahoma coach have all been on record though as saying they'd love to have Pittman and would offer him when he becomes eligible to play at a D1 program. Get your facts straight before you post something like that. All of the above coaches that I just listed have asked the JUCO's that they have close ties to, to recruit Pittman so they can sign him.




Congrats to TK on the offers, but none of those are exactly high profile programs. I have a relative who currently plays for The Citadel. And jsut because a kid is receiving interest from a school doesn't mean they're going to offer. Travis Ford recruits A LOT in Kentucky because of his ties to the state. I'm pretty sure Vinny Zollo already holds an offer from Mr. Ford, as does Jaylen Beckham in the sophomore class.

I didn't wanna bring this up, but let's not forget that Timmy is also a hold back. He should be a senior right now.



I don't know when the last time was that you saw Euton but that kid can stroke it from outside. He has been recruited the way he has because of his shooting ability. He must be better than you're giving him credit for considering as soon as he de-committed from UK, Oregon St, Oklahoma St, Akron, EKU, and Western all offered within two weeks.

As far as Gibbs, he doesn't have to be as aggressive as TK because he has another D1 prospect next to him in 6'5 Jermaine Jackson as well as several other good guards like Sam Tolliver. Knipp is relied on by his team to do a lot of scoring because they don't really have anyone else at Elliott Co to consistently score like Timmy.

You just named several different qualities about Gibbs that are better than Knipp but yet you'd take Knipp over Gibbs because Knipp tries to dunk over poeple? :thatsfunn Gibbs is a much better prospect because of his demeanor on the court, ability to play inside or outside, and the fact that he plays more within the team than TK does...all while also being more athletic and able to defend better.



1. NKU won't be D1 within the next year or two. It's in their TEN YEAR plan to be D1 though. They can't go D1 until all of their club teams (hockey in particular) become ceritfied through the NCAA. This will be atleast a 5 year process. They'll have a football team before they go D1. Basketball is the only D1 facility that they have. Soccer is next, then baseball, then a hockey facility, then football, then you'll see basketball and other sports go D1.

Again, dunking by smaller guards may be rare in EKY, but it happens all the time outside of the mountains. Look at what Arrez Henderson of Holmes did in the state tourney in 08. He was 6'1 at best.

Don't believe me though? Watch the Scott Co/Ballard game on wazoo and you'll see both Devante Parker (6'1) and Ian Chiles (6'1) throw it down in traffic. Parker has 2 or 3 dunks that game with 2 being alley oops. Find Jaylen Beckham on youtube and you'll see several dunks by him in traffic too.

Just because you don't see it in the mountains doesn't mean it doesn't happen in other areas around the state. There's two different sources above to prove my point.

I highly doubt that all those coaches have been on record as saying they would love to sign Pittman, and if they have, I'm sure you could provide us with a link to where they said it at. As far as Gibbs or Pittman being a better prospect than Knipp, I disagree. Gibbs has already signed with IUPUI and Knipp already had offers that are better than that. You speak of Gibbs being a better defender but I would bet that Timmy leads the state in blocked shots. His ability to blocks shots is better than anyones in the state. You also mentioned that Timmy is a hold back. All that is going to do is make Knipp an even more appealing prospect because he is going to go into college more mature and developed. Knipp is going to be as highly recruited as anyone in the state for the next 2 years and IMO is a top 5 prospect in the state right now. Say what you want about Pittman, but it takes more than being a good basketball player to make it to a D1 school. Pittman will more than likely be headed to JUCO and Knipp will be headed D1.

I totally agree with you!

And kywldcat01 are you taking into consideration that the players that you're comparing Timmy Knipp to are seniors and he is only a Junior?

[AshamedLCParent]

Thats who! Get to know him because you're gonna hear alot about him next year!

I hope all players make a good name for themselves and wish him well I am not going to get on here and dogg them constantly like some do.

hint hint hint:lmao:
