Newport Wildcats make it a 2-for-2 day at the All 'A' Classic for Northern Kentucky's Ninth Region - NKyTribune

By Dan Weber NKyTribune sports reporter It hasn’t been easy. Not this tournament and not all season. Which is exactly how Rod Snapp and his Newport Wildcats wanted it. And that’s exactly how things turned out for a team that’s gone everywhere and played everybody from the end of last season...

Newport Vs Evangel Christian Box Score

Im worried about his size /athleticism at the next level, but if we get any production out of him year 1, that'll be a win.

Kinney’s got some Trae Young in his game. Can be very special.

Are we recruiting him? I see he has offers from UL, Cincy etc.

Something tells me, underestimate this kid at your own risk.

He’s a 5,000 point scorer that’s crazy. I agree with what you said but I think he shoot’s it and is a natural scorer and we always need that. Modern basketball is perfect for him. I hope Cal plays him like Sheppard if he proves he can play at this level early.

I think he's a lot like Chris Lofton. Isn't going to impress you athletically but just makes baskets.

This is what worries me about Perry. Sheppard's start was borderline unprecedented, but he's also a better overall athlete than Perry.

I sincerely hope he can match or even be in the vicinity of such production his freshman year, but I think it's unfair to the kid to expect anything more than a role player role his freshman season.

I think Richie Farmer (for those who remember) might be a reasonable comparison as a floor for Perry - and in my mind that's a great addition to have to your team. But I believe that Perry is a better 3 pt. shooter than Farmer - and by a bit too. For a ceiling, and staying with similar sized KY guys, Chris Lofton might be possible. But boy Lofton was really good in college. Besides great 3 pt. shooting (which I think Perry could possibly duplicate percentage wise), I think we forget how well Lofton could score on drives and his 2pt. FG%. Regardless, I really like UK picking up Perry, and think it's going to pay dividends.
