Where will Braxton Beverly go to college?
#1
Just curious as to who is interested in signing Braxton Beverly. I think he is definately a D1 player. What school is the perfect fit for him.
#2
WKU with JJ
#3
EKU, WKU, Alice Lloyd, Pikeville, Lindsey Wilson, Cumberland..
I say he will probably end up at one of the above.
#4
Currently has offers from Miami (OH), Western Kentucky, Northern Kentucky, Samford, Marshall, and Cleveland State.

Maybe some more... those are just what I can remember.
#5
I could see him at a Butler type school...
#6
Wku or nku would be great. Eku as well.
#7
Mid Major
#8
Braxton is the model of hard work he loves the game and is a born leader very proud of this kid. I hope he wins mr basketball he's much more deserving than a few of the over hyped top prospects of the 2016 class.
#9
He's a great kid and a really good player. I just hope he's happy whatever college he decides to play for.
#10
Kid is a great player, but too small to play anywhere major.
#11
I guess Tyler Eulis is to little to play for UK. Dude come on. If you can play, you can play. Size aint everything. Just like saying a guy 5'11 cant play QB anymore in football. Its stupid to say that. If the kids a winner, he is a winner. Size dont matter. Braxton will end up at a nice D1 program. Mark it down. I never thought Justice would end up at Vandy. The hard work paid off. Braxton has worked just as hard if not harder. Playing the EYBL has helped Beverly and Justice both. They proved they can compete with anyone.
#12
He ll play naia ball easy it height hurts him playing at higher levels as we'll look at Elijah justice perfect example truth the truth. Not saying it won't happen but his height hurts him
#13
Good kid but I don't foresee a Mr. Basketball in his future. It'd be nice to see him and Justin on the court together again.

Justice is on a whole other level than Beverly.
Eulis is a McDonalds All-American.
Comparing Beverly to both are kinda one sided.
Not sure anything you said makes sense.
He's a good high school player.
#15
Ah boys...
#16
It doesn't matter where Braxton goes to college at... he will be a leader and he'll perform well when his name is called.

You put him at WKU and he'll take care of business. You put him at Butler and he'll do the same. If you put him in a power conference he'll do the same.

Some kids you can just tell that the game won't blow by them when they move up to the next level.

Camron and Braxton are those types of players. Just like Justin Johnson was last year.
#17
You can stop talking about Butler.
Not happening.
I am not by any means trying to be rude.
Look at Justin Hicks, Josh Whitaker.
Both great players, sorry but they are both way better than Beverly.
He may take a scholarship to NKU or Miami (OH).
He will also sit on the bench.
This is an athletic board. Beverly is a smart kid with a good head on his shoulders.
You can "ahh bulz" all you want.
#18
This is my assessment:
As long as the good Lord keeps him healthy him will 100% end up in a nice D-1 program. He will be a very big part of the program he goes to. See, unlike some kids he has a good supporting cast around him that is very realistic and understands his limitations. They aren't gonna try to steer him in the wrong direction. You can bet on this Ballers: he will play somewhere at the D1 level as long as he stays healthy, get a free education, be a productive part of society after graduation. Those are the things that ppl should be teaching kids. Those are the most important things in life. BTW Ballers, WKU is the 8th winningest program in D1 history. IMO, that's a high level offer. Kids need to go where they fit! If he fit at Alice Lloyd that's not shameful. For some reason ppl like Ballers that can't play or never could continue to want to hate on the players that work hard and get the opportunities he never had the discipline to obtain. No shame for any kid to play anywhere in college as long as he gets his education. Hey Ballers, you never know Braxton might even hire you someday to work for him.
#19
Another note: West Point had an in home visit w/ Braxton about 2 weeks ago. A 4 year education there is $433,000. If he decided to go on to West Point Med school that's another $583,000. He could leave that school debt free! They are the number 1 institution in the country for their 1st grads w/ the highest income. That's success IMO. Lets be real here, that ball stops bouncing and I've not seen a kid from the 14th region that's a Pro yet!!! I know Ballers may have signed a 10 day contract w/ Pigeon Roost Tobacco Outlet for the Dust bowl but I'm sure it didn't pay the bills.
#20
IMO, Braxton Beverly can and will play D-1.

I'm sure Braxton is a nice young man and works hard. To compare him to Eulis is crazy because he is nowhere as athletic or quick as Eulis and to say that size doesn't matter and that he will end up at a nice D1 program and then act surprised that Justice would end up at Vandy is silly considering Justice is bigger, stronger, and a better shooter. Like others have said if he wants to play and have a chance to contribute it is at a mid major if he continues to work at his game. I wish him well but always remember a good small player can't beat a good big player because you can't teach size either you have it or you don't.

Guys first let me say his name is Tyler Ulis. Secondly, I watched Beverly play against Ulis in the 2013 EYBL peach jam. Ulis was way ahead of Beverly at that time and I think Beverly would tell you the same thing. Ulis is one of those special kids that you don't see very often. It's not his quickness or athleticism thats impressive. Ulis isn't gonna dunk on you like Derrick Rose and his speed isn't blazing either. Ulis doesn't shoot it great! What sets him apart from every other PG is the fact that Ulis plays w/ great pace and sees the floor a lot better than most guards you will find. He makes everyone else on the floor better and gives his teammates the ball in places they are comfortable and when they are ready to score! I tweeted the day I watched him and said he was the best PG in the class of 2014 and I still believe that. I said that day that he was a pro and he will be. Ulis came in to his senior summer ranked around #125 in the country and finished the summer in the top 30. His size had always been the big issue w/ all the coaches in America and that's why he wasn't ranked very high or wasn't as highly recruited until late in his senior summer. He was always good but coaches didn't really take notice until he proved he could put up good numbers in the EYBL against the best the country has to offer. When Beverly can put up the numbers Ulis did in the EYBL then a person can compare them. That hasn't happened yet so comparing the 2 just isn't fair at this point. JMO!

I don't think he's on another level with anything besides his size really, but that is a big factor.

Huh!!!! I'd be glad to sign a 10 day contract with the Pigeon Roost Tobacco Outlet. No shame in that.

Braxton is a very sound and "under control" guard. He would thrive in the Miami system.
Just my opinion, but I think his skills would be wasted at the up tempo schools like WKU.
Also, Braxton has been travelling around since the seventh grade. He's downright cosmopolitan for a mountain boy. "Go away to school and be a fish out of water" is less likely to happen. After a few years, he comes back and helps us in the mountains.
#26
There is no doubt IMO that BB will play D1. I seen someone mentioned Butler that would be awesome but so would WKU. I think he can play at both of those programs and be a good fit.
#27
I honestly believe Braxton Beverly can play D-1 basketball and I hope he get an opportunity to show his skill at the next level.
#28
The kid has two years of high school ball left and there are plenty of schools that are left to offer.

Here's a tidbit of info for you - Morehead State, per the coaching staff, isn't recruiting Braxton because they don't think they have a shot at him.

Your assessment of Ulis is spot on. You no doubt took in his stop on a dime mid range
jumper. That particular jumper will be his professional meal ticket. If Bledsoe had that shot, people would be thinking Kevin Johnson. Still, professional ball.... Ulis is a much better Distributor than say, Calvin Murphy or Spud Webb. Sees the floor like Emmitt
Smith sees the hole. Athletically quick and balanced to the max. Can't funnel him
to the bigs; he'll hit that pull up. Defensively? We will soon see. Athletically, he's a little
more blessed than the Cordia kid who went to Fresno. Ulis is much more fundamentally
skilled though than O, from Cordia. Sorry, I just realized how off topic this is.

Ballstar. I gave my opinion, that was all.
Sorry that we got sponsored for the dustbowl, (not many teams do).
I went to college.. Your like 50 now right??
Selling cars, sure it's an occupation. While your 50, I did it at 27 .. LOL..
I guess all basketball players just sale cars in their old age.
