Hold on, Jermaine Jackson is a stretch at 6'2", and he is not a D-1 prospect. At what level do you see him playing, Gibbs is playing at 6'7" and he is the best athlete in the 6th. Gibbs signed a LOI to play at IUPUI.....so where do you see Jackson playing, He's a 6'2" PF. He just can shoot the three ball is where his points come from.

I think you may be mistaking Jermaine for someone else. Idk when the last time was that you saw him but he is a legit 6'5. He is almost big as Gibbs and if you had saw them recently, you'd know this. And he also isn't known for his 3 point shot either. He is a banger down low that also has a nice mid range game and can step out and hit the occasional 3. Gibbs signed with IUPUI because of the opportunity to play right away. He had interest from other schools as well. As far as where Jackson will play, I could see him playing at a low major D1 program.

Timmy Knipps demeanor is exactly why I would take him over Gibbs. I watched Gibbs play multiple times, Hes a horse on his team, but he sees himself as a Roll Player. (Refrence Darius Miller, about to get benched for Dodson, Miller has no emotion, and hes scared. This attitude holds him back). I would take Knipp for his attitude, a shooter/dunker/slasher.

You're missing the point. Gibbs doesn't have to be as aggressive because he has a much better supporting cast. Therefor, he isn't reliied on to score the way Knipp is. Despite this though, he still averages close to a double doulbe at 16 ppg and 9 rpg. Credit Timmy for being the man on his team and carrying them but if you saw Gibbs play over the summer with Shining Stars, you'd see where I'm coming from. When Gibbs isn't playing within the "team concept" he is very tough t handle. He's as good as they come with his ability to take his man off the dribble, hit a jumpshot, or dominate down low with his size and athleticism. That attitude of Timmy's that you talk about though has also gotten him in trouble over the past two years on the court...much like Elijah Pittman his junior year.

Physical ability is not everything, a players desire to win, and to attitude to be the best player on the court has something to do with the show. Iroquois should have won the 6th last year, but Gibbs played his worst game of the year against the scary, much shorter but aggressive Ridge Wilson.

I don't know who you've been talking to, but physical ability is definetly something a coach looks at. Look at EJ for example. If the kid was 6'3 he'd have every coach in American after him. I do agree though that desire and attitude play a part in the recruiting process. Coaches want winners and kids who believe they can excell and win at any level whether on the court or in the classroom. And Ridge Wilson is a D1 athlete. He's currently playing football at UK right now and is a physical specimen so I don't see how you can fault Gibbs for not having one of his better games. Ridge Wilson also isn't much smaller. He is a legit 6'5 and absolutely rocked up.
