I believe the updated roster is below.

6'5 Ricardo Johnson- Holmes
6'5 Jeremiah Johnson- Holmes
6'1 Conner Crowley (jr)- Highlands
6'4 Cory Dill- Highlands
6'1 Steven Gordon- Highlands
5'8 Zach Lother- Highlands
6'2 Cody Collins- Newport
6'4 Casey Mcdaniel- Newport
6'6 Jack Stewart -Highlands (JR)

You take Grubbs and George Grote out of the mix who are original members and replace them with a couple of jr's at Highlands who really lack big game experience and they may have their hands full in the 17U Nationals.

Good luck to the Firebirds regardless.

Actually they should do very well, they are not playing Division 1 they are playing Division 2. With the roster they have, I'd be dissapointed if they don't at least make it to the final four if not win it all. By looking at the pools none of the top 17U teams are playing D2. All the top teams go D1 because that's where the competition is and that's where the college coaches go to watch and scout.

If college coaches know Rico and JJ are on the team they may specifically go to their games to see them, but if someone doesn't contact them they won't know that they are even on that team.

Good luck, they should represent KY well.
