The CheckerBoard

Marcus Hicks........ He could play. My younger brother was real good friends with him. He was at the house all the time.

Being in Cincinnati I try to go to the Flyin to the Hoop classic in Dayton, OH every year.... Have seen Anthony Davis, Shabazz Muhammed, Jared Sullinger, Travis Trice, and Jabari Parker among others.

The most impressed is one I've seen multiple times, Kelsey Mitchell. She's a junior PG from Cincinnati. I think she is considering the Lady Vols too! Check out her video! http://youtu.be/AK69Nx9trew

Penny Hardaway

I'm from Portland and got to watch Corey Brewer play all 4 years. He was a beast in high school. I was 2 years older. He liked buzz a lot and seemed like he would end up in Knoxville til he was hired. Chose UF shortly after coaching change. Not often a small town gets a McDonald's
AA. It was fun to watch

Thanks for bringing up these 3 west TN guys! I went to high school with Stanley and played basketball with his sisters. It was awesome when he selected TN over Kentucky.

Lived in Alexandria, VA. our team played Alonzo Mourning, Chesapeake Indian River in the semi's in Roanoke, VA.
Moved to Oak Ridge and watched Daryl Miller.

Miller was just as dominate, ended up Mr. Basketball that year.

Obviously never had the career Mourning did.

Sasha Danilovic. He was foreign exchange student at Cookeville high my junior year and I played against him. That team also had former Vol Ronnie Robinson on it. He played for the Heat and Mavs and later back in Europe.
