The true definition of a player lie in the number posted in the front of his name; qualities such and skill set and intangibles such as IQ, awareness, ability to make reads both on and off the ball are essential to the long term success of youth basketball players.

Steady, consistent, and heady are not your normal highlight
film intro’s; but ask any high school coach or college recruiter and they will
tell you that those are attributes associated with all the lead guards that
they recruit. There may be better
scorers, flashier ball handling antics, and passes that make the crowd go “oh
my”. The question remains is that how
many of them sailed out of bounds, how many were actually the wrong read and
someone else was available to make the “hockey assist” or a play for themselves.
So much goes into the evaluation of a player and just as
reputations of players and coaches are topics of barbershop discussions; so is
that of the assessments of the assessors.
We feel that Kennedy has earned consideration as a top positional prospect
nationally. He has shown on various
stages is “takeover” ability at different floor levels. As well he has consistently made the players
on the floor with him better while operating and sacrificing within the team
concept.
Highlight tapes sent to colleges don’t include the latest
hip-hop remix, dunks are a luxury as everyone at the highest level can throw
one down, and finally scoring prowess is standard fare as all top D1 prospects
in their respective environments are “the man” and have been for a substantial amount
of time. Who is special today doesn’t promise
they will be special tomorrow; all must stay in the gym to maximize their
potential Isiah Kennedy is one that we feel will continue to achieve and
ultimately be rewarded with scholarship opportunity.
