Good article. I've known all three for several years. All three of them are very respectful and good kids. Pittman has a little attitude on the court but that's just his "on the court" personality. I just wish he could have focused a little more on his academics. He has more college potential than anyone in KY.

I try telling people this every day about Elijah. He may play with an attitude on the court, but he is a very respectable young man off the court. All three are actually. Ricardo and JJ are both very humble and let their play do their talking. Looking at their picture that I posted on here with the article, you can tell that all three hit the weights hard over the off season as well. JJ, Ric, and Eli are all considerably bigger compared to last year.

As far as Eli's academics, he is doing very well in the classroom and from what I hear all of his teachers are very impressed with the transformation he's made since last year. He'll likely have to take the JUCO route or spend a year in prep school and re-classify to 2011, but regardless, he is still the best prospect in the state IMO and is a top 100 player in the country. When he gets to college and is constantly pushed every day, everyone will realize why he's been touted the way he has.
