Sometimes just congratulate the kids that do well. I can attest hat Isaiah does not earn write ups top recognition at every event, yet we do not criticize the kids that do. There are a lot of talented kids out there that perform well and Rob Taylor does an outstanding job of getting them recognized. But to question kids accomplishments all the time is just a sign of a small minded person. Remove yourself from behind the shield of anonymity and be straight up. These kids played well this weekend so please allow them to enjoy their moments. Remember this is middle school basketball and while these write ups are cool, it really has no bearing on the end result. The path ahead is long and uncertain and requires hard work, good grades as well as a good moral character. My advice to you is to keep working, have some character, support other kids when they deserve to be and quit taking the fun away from the kids. I seldom comment in this forum but my son's name is mentioned so I have to chime in. Finally, I would like to commend some of the high character parents and kids out there that work extremely hard. Kids like Zeb Jackson, BJ Bransford, Zack Loveday, CJ Anthony, Jeremy Baker, Grant Huffman, Darion Henry, Devonte Blanton, Chris Mayfield and a few more have great character and are top level players and they have positive parents who understand that everyday will not be their day. Whoever you are, please add some value, not negativity to this great platform that Rob Tayloy has built for young kids.

In most cases, a player has to be a "standout" to get a write-up. The same reason "every player" did not get invited to this event, "every player" does not get a write-up. No disrespect to any player, because they were all talented, but at this level, you can't expect "participation trophies/write-ups." I hate to be so blunt, but your suggestion of "politics" and questioning our credibility is more than irritating!! In terms of the all-star selection process, a media panel chose the all-stars, not the coaches. All-Star selections are always difficult, leaving many parents believing their child should have been selected. At the end of the day, someone other than the parent has to evaluate a player's talent and performance. It's often a close call, so as I said in my opening remarks, don't make it close! Dive on the floor for loose balls, lock up you defender, get teammates the ball, show a great, coachable attitude, and display an all around game. That could be the difference in making the cut. This is all I'm going to say about the matter!Buckeye Prep Report Founderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492809328417563147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372258102423167122.post-43545473150948121832016-05-20T08:01:44.995-04:002016-05-20T08:01:44.995-04:00Any reason why all the players invited to the comb...Any reason why all the players invited to the combine didn't receive a write up on this page?<br />Also, did you know Sunday's All Star roster did not reflect the coaches ranking in every case?

Kennedy actually played better on Sunday, when he played like a one of top 2-3 players at the event. He was solid on Sunday, but Saturday he was a monster!
