uvahooelse 18 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Who makes the list for the top young players in SWVA. I know the HOGO has two really good young sophomore point guards, Johnson from GW and Kestner from Chilhowie. GW also has a good junior center. NW also has a good junior guard transfer from Grayson. Who else may make this list? Go Panthers #blueteam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Union has Jay Gavin, Rashaaun Noaks, and Jake Barnett as juniors and James Mitchell as a potential star in a couple years, true freshman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhstigers7327 217 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Tanner Robinette from Honaker is a 6 8 center that's is drawing a lot of interest from d 1 schools averaging over 20 points and 10 rebounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan4VT 4,557 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Union does not redshirt or hold back. I think the fact he's making fun of you for saying "true freshman" for a high school kid just flew wayyyyyyy over your head, bud.

GC doesnt have true freshman, they are always redshirted in the 8th grade :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 BTW, I meant by true freshman that he was a kid that has not been held back in any grades. He is 14 years old IIRC, possibly 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubzfan 16 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Yes Union does holdback, three starters on the JV are "redshirt" 8th graders, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thats something new. That never happened when I was in high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Graham has plenty of young talent coming up..… Juniors Roman Workman and Thomas Clarke, sophomore Nick Morgan, freshmen Taymon Cooke and Garrett Dalton..… and plenty of talent in 8th and 9th paying j.v... Too many to mention. Graham will lose only 2 seniors in Colby Hill and Tony Hood. Those are huge losses, but Graham has lots of talent to replace them. The "Dream Team"...may face a "nightmare" in Graham.… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 933 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thats something new. That never happened when I was in high school. Maybe that traveled over with them from Appy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Maybe that traveled over with them from Appy. Could be, to my knowledge none of the better athletes at Powell Valley intentionally held back a grade. Hell even Brad Robbins, Phil's son, was in the same grade all throughout school. Appalachia had done it, so Union must do it too now. If its a regular thing, I am not a fan if its only for athletics, the chances of little Timmy or Trish becoming a Div. 1 athlete is very slim so the kid should be allowed to live as they see fit. If I kid believes its for the best academic wise, then I'm all for it, but I just dont like making a child take classes they already did well in just to have another year of eligibility as a more developed athlete.

SWVASportsGuru 15 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Only way Union will ever win is by holding back, they don't have the athletes PV or Appy had in the 90s. Holding back is a must if they want to stay competitive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,643 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Stay competitive? We are doing just fine GURU, we dont need to resort to GC tactics to compete. No team has the athletes they had in the 90s, but look at Union now. We have very good athletes. Jay Gavin, James Mitchell, Rashaaun, a JV player who has great size, Jake Barnett, Bryce Spears, etc... Mitchell has potential to be a very great athlete, and Union has a complete more young freshman like Jeb Stidham that will be a force to be reckoned with in two years.
