Decisions, decisions for basketball stars
Posted by Mike Fields on May 2, 2008
A few weeks into college basketball’s signing period, most of Kentucky’s high-profile high school stars have made their decisions. The only senior on the Herald-Leader’s first-team All-State team still making up his mind is Clark Stepp (shown at right) of June Buchanan. Gary Stepp, his uncle and former coach, said Clark is weighing his options, including going to a prep school. Oklahoma has talked to him about walking on. Vanderbilt has been in touch recently. Austin Peay is still in the picture. “Clark hopes to make a decision by the end of this month,” Gary said.
Here’s where the rest of the first-team senior all-staters are going:
- Darius Miller of Mason County: UK
- Shelvin Mack of Bryan Station: Butler
- Scotty Hopson of University Heights: Tennessee
- Landon Slone of Paintsville: UK (walk-on)
- Aaron Morris of Madison Central: IUPUI
- Arrez Henderson of Holmes: Louisiana Tech
- Tyshwan Edmondson of University Heights: St. John’s
- Taylor Stewart of Lexington Catholic: Air Force Academy
Second-team all-stater Adam Delph of Pleasure Ridge Park is going to walk on at UK. Tyler Brown of Apollo is headed to Morehead, and Michael Sparks of Tates Creek is going to the VMI. Still undecided are Nathan Novosel of Lexington Catholic, Victor Moses of Henry Clay and Nick Gagel of Jeffersontown.
