[14th region fanman]

Sperry has been the best player in the region since his Sophmore year.  Nobody has been better than him.  Nobody I have ever watched in these parts has been able to do some of the things I’ve seen this kid do.  He is the most explosive athlete we’ve ever had in this region.  Yeah there’s been some better shooters, better passers, better rebounders but there’s never been a better athlete with his next level potential.  Anyone taking smack is simply jealous of him or trying to get in his head where it’s tournament time. 
Very fun watching him play, gonna miss him a lot after this season.

He is definitely a generational athlete. The only kid I can recall being as athletic as him was Ben Bowling back in the day. 
As far as age, no kid can play if they turn 19 before August 1st. 
And any kid in the region or state will turn 19 during their senior year if they have stayed back at some point of their career.
