You do realize ESPN's joke of a ranking is the only one that has Justice rated that high...right? And that their evaluation came from seeing Justice play TWO games...same as the other Kentucky boys they have listed with evaluations, such as the Holmes boys, and pretty much every other star player from the teams that participated in the state tournament this year.

Justice doesn't even have a profile on Scout or Rivals...why? Because he simply isn't as big of a prospect as you guys make him out to be.

Let it go...SV fans are the only ones talking and hyping the kid up. (Rightfully so, as he's a great high school player)

There is more than just Holmes fans talking the Johnson Brothers and Pittman up:

Holmes has three players on their roster getting looks from D-1 schools: Ricardo Johnson, Elijah Pittman, and Jeremiah Johnson. The competition at the camp may not have been up to Holmes’ fairly high standards, but there were still some opportunities to see their athletes show some of their skills.

Through the high school regular season, I am sure that Calipari will try to get a closer look at some of the in-state talent and these three should be high on his list. Holmes’ team also looked to be preparing themselves for a reappearance at the state tournament in 2010. They are a very well coached and highly talented bunch.

Covington Holmes captured the Kentucky state title in March and now the team's two stars have been tabbed as the best players in the state by Rick Bolus' High Potential Recruiting Service.

Senior-to-be Ricardo Johnson (photo), the Sweet 16 MVP, was ranked No. 1 followed by senior-to-be teammate Elijah Pittman.

The Holmes duo is followed by Scott County senior-to-be prospects Chad Jackson and Ge-lawn Guyn, Warren Central junior-to-be George Fant and Iroquois senior-to-be Donovan Gibbs.

After taking a composite look at high school basketball production and success, AAU performances last summer, honors and awards and to a lesser degree “potential” at the next level, MaxPreps has compiled its Pre-Summer Class of 2010 100 to Watch:

Ricardo Johnson 6'5/G Covington, KY
Elijah Pittman 6'7/F Covington, KY

Ricardo Johnson is one of the hottest prospects in the state. The 6-foot-4, 185 pound senior-to-be averaged 10.7 points and 5.3 rebounds per game this past season. A number of Division I schools are recruiting him. Bradley University has already offered a scholarship. He could be the favorite to win the 2010 Mr. Basketball award.

Shall I go on? Or have you guys gotten the picture? These boys are hyped up by more than just us Holmes fans...along with the other guys mentioned ahead of Justice as well such as Gibbs, Jackson, Guyn, and Sewell.

Just because they have Justice listed as the 9th best player in the state doesn't mean anything. Believe it or not, the guys ahead of him are actually pretty darn good and can play some ball too. Let it go...:igiveup:

Sources tell me Pittman is guaranteed to go to JUCO next year. That doesn't make him a very good looking prospect to me. Most top prospects atleast have hope of becoming eligible before they sign and enroll in a D1 school.
