Best ever Cincinnati HS players

[Masterofreality]

Not even an honorable mention for Josh Duncan? Just trying to make sure my alma mater if fully represented...

I can't see the article either, but I'd like to see who was ranked and see where Denson fits. He was a pretty good player but he was all Purcell had in those days. If the list includes Middletown Cris Carter should be on it - that guy could play some ball.

When I saw "Best Ever" I zoned out. Josh qualifies. Steve Thomas would too. :-)

Yeah if we are talking about high school only Hayes has no business on the list.

So this is best players from Cincy, not best high school players. Jaxson Hayes got to the NBA on potential and wasn’t dominant in high school. If just High School, then Byron would be ahead of Hayes, Grant and Hill for sure. Brian Grant I believe didn’t play as a junior and I think Ty Hill didn’t start playing basketball until his junior year of high school. He was in the band prior to that I believe. I believe Byron is still in the top 30 for most points scored in a college career.

Jeez. If they are counting Georgetown High School as part of Cincinnati, they may as well count Romain Sato!!
