By no means is anyone saying Clay will win it. To me, they're the third best team in the region "right now". And you're right, the 13th region is known for the best team not going to Rupp in the last few years. The Tigers will have to rely heavily on guard play this year. But they've also not had a solid big man inside since Rodney Mitchell in the mid-2000s. In solid, I mean double-double material. A team like North Laurel has to be salivating over the inside match-ups. But I would take McDaniel over any PG in the region, as a sophomore. The end-all-be-all is if it were played today, Harlan County would be loading buses to Lexington. But March is 4 long cold months away.
