Scouts start to scout players in grade school. Mark Walker wasn't scouted though. His dad sent the tapes to Reebok and they signed him. I don't care if he doesn't pan out though because the kid can atleast afford to go to college now.</div>Very true. I get rankings via E-Mail from some friends I have working in the basketball department at Michigan State. The rankings range from age eight to age twenty. Anyone ever heard of ten year old Kendall Marshall? If not, you will in ten years. He is probably going to go to the University of Florida. He is a big time Elementary School Prospect.

 

elemnetary school prospect. good one.

Anyone who follows prospects honestly knew Cooke would never amount to anything and LeBron would be a star. Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it isn't there.

 

no i didnt whtch sportscenter tonight. i read a story in a newspaper. and there were people who knew about both wouldve told you that cook was better and now hes garbage. hes worse than kendrick perkins. either way u see my point. u never know whats gonna happen

 

I think LeBron was rated as the top prospect in the country in Cooke's senior year. People already knew LeBron was better. Basically everyone really, well everyone besides Cooke.

 

actually there were a lot of experts who thought cooke was better but like i said even if he was just almost as good look whats happened in only a few years. hes nothing now.before he was at least somehting

In Cooke's Junior year pretty much everyone had LeBron rated higher. They met in the Addidas ABCD Camp and LeBron drilled him. People say that is one of the reasons Cooke wasn't drafted, because LeBron made him look so awful.

Anyway, I think Marshall deserves the publicity that he is and will be getting. He is an eleven year old kid playing against eighteen year old AAU players and winning.

 

im not saying he doesnt deserve the hype. im not saying cooke didnt. im justsaying just cause hes so succesful now u cant just assume hes ognna be a college or NBA star

The people who rated Lenny higher were not "Experts". They were simply confused journalists who saw Cooke's age as an advantage. When LeBron James was barely better than Cooke, he was younger and not fully developed. He was only a High School Sophomore. Cooke could have also remained on top, but he switched around High Schools so often that he was not allowed to play his Senior season. Right now a big time High School prospect like Daniel Gibson might be ranked over Kendall Marshall, but that doesn't mean that he will be better in the long run.

 

no i mean scouts and stuff, anyway youre missing my point. read my lastpost

You just thought that there was no such thing as an Elementary School prospect so I showed you Marshall. Anyway, stop comparing Cooke to Marshall, and Cooke to LeBron. Bottom line is that almost everybody had LeBron over Cooke, and when Cooke was eleven he wasn't playing against eighteen year olds. They are two completely different situations. Marshall will be on SLAM in the next year.

 

i wasnt trying to compare them i was using them as an example of someone having all this hype and people thinking hes this and gonna be that just like youre saying about marshall when in reallity theyre just too young to know. hes 11 years old for crissake let him be a kid

How will we know he will be good in the future?

Let's get something straight, he puts up All-Star numbers on a High School Varsity team. He will not leave that team for six or seven years. The competition will only get easier for him. Your points don't make any sense. That is why I don't get them.

 

Harry Caray would be doing laps in his grave once he saw these names, because he wouldn't be able to pronounce a single one.

 

Yeah espn had a special on Lenny Cooke. He thought it was a done deal that he made it big time cuz he was getting paid. Now hes in the USBL or something sad like that

 

Yea he could not even grow and stay 5'o.

 

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting "Alley-oop":</div><div class="quote_post">Yea he could not even grow and stay 5'o.</div>That is extremely unlikely, but I will accept the possibility. If he does stay at five feet tall, he will still make the NBA or College. He could play on the College level right now. Last year he played such NBA players as Travis Outlaw, and he did just fine.
