Did UK or Louisville even recruit this Kentucky kid? 6’6” and running the point with composure for Auburn. Really good looking player in my mind. [ 12-30-2020, 07:32 PM: Message edited by: Trey Ball ]
-------------------- Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

I haven't seen that kid yet, but I did watch several SEC games this week. It's amazing the kids knocking down 3-pointers with ease. One of the schools (maybe Ole Miss) has a 7'3" center who can shoot 3's. We better play some really good defense in the upcoming SEC games if we plan on winning because there's a lot of talent in our league.

Justin Powell from Oldham county. He wasn't rated high enough for Cal to see over the top shots. Maybe if he and his crew would take a better look at the in state kids and get over the saying "white kids can't jump" we might just have a team that would be around for more than 1 year??? Shot 50% from the floor and 55% from 3 line. Sounds about like just what this team needs.
""" Labeled as a four-star prospect by ESPN and a three-star prospect by 247Sports and Rivals … tabbed as the No. 76 player in the country by ESPN and No. 151 by 247Sports … selected as the top player from the state of Kentucky by ESPN and the second ranked by 247Sports … tabbed all-state and all-league as a senior after averaging 24.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game … also shot 59 percent from the floor … was named MVP of King of Bluegrass Holiday Classic … played two years at Trinity High School in Louisville before transferring to Montverde Academy in Florida … played with Indy Heat in the Nike EYBL circuit … averaged 13.2 points and shot 50 percent from the floor including 55 percent from 3 … also averaged 2.8 rebounds and 2.6 assists."""

Powell averages 12.8 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5 assists and only 2.8 turnovers per game. He's 19-40 shooting 3-pointers for 47.5%. This should be a kid that plays for UK, but he'd just sit the bench under Cal.

Wow. Another miss for Cal.
He needs to hire a coach with some local connections. All the previous coaches cultivated strong ties with HS programs in the state. Cal could care less.
