First of all let me say this, Timmy Knipp will be at Elliott County next season.

Now as far as the debate about whether he would start at GRC or not, no doubt about it he would. He, along with George Fant and Robbie Stenzel, are the best 3 players in the class of 2011 and are/will be the most highly recruited. He is better than all 3 of the GRC big men. Knipp, along with the other two players mentioned have been the most consistent part of the state's best aau team and one that is going to make a lot of noise nation wide in July.

Now, for those of you who disagree with me, tell me what the other 3 big guys for Clark Co do better than Knipp? Knipp is as tall or taller than all 3, he is more athletic than all 3, shoots is better than all 3, and handles it better than all 3. Plus, he is probably the best shot blocker in the state next season.

On the flip side, intenisty from Knipp sometimes lacks. At times, you will get more intensity out of the big guys at GRC than Knipp. But that is something Knipp is improving on daily, and this summer has already made drastic steps towards playing hard every possesion.

Botton line for me, Knipp is at worst the second best player in the class of 2011(if anyone is better it is George Fant) and would not only start for GRC next season, but any team in the state of Kentucky.
