Some of those states have had multiple players surpass that mark. That being said, Jon Diebler and Robert Parish are the only two on that list that I've heard of so it's not exactly an indicator of long-term success. Even so, I thought it would be interesting to discuss Hurt's career scoring in relation to Bailey's. Obviously they are completely different players, so I'm not talking about comparing them as such. I'm just curious to see what people have to say about their accomplishments. Which do you find more impressive? Generally I'd be inclined to say Bailey based on the fact that he did it in a state known for basketball (talent and coaching), and the fact that he was only 6'3" (I would assume Hurt has a pretty decent height advantage in every game he plays). On the other hand, I was an infant when Bailey was playing and am not familiar with the level of competition BNL went up against. I would assume there were a lot of cupcakes. Could be the same for Hurt, but I believe he faces larger schools which generally equates to better opponents. He also appears to be a very versatile scorer and may not rely on his height advantage much. If that is the case and a lot of his offense comes from outside the paint, I'm inclined to give him more credit as his height makes his skill set more impressive. So, what do you guys think? Whose scoring record is more impressive and why? For those interested, here is the link to HS scoring leaders: https://www.nfhs.org/RecordBook/Record-book-result.aspx?CategoryId=1133 Bailey's. Better overall players in our state by numbers than other states. Better players means that scoring can be spread among team member more evenly. Plus better defenses night in night out. Quote

Hurt has already played 3 more career games and is still 250 points behind DB. Plus, 29 of Damon's games were played in the "playoffs" when you will yourself to win or you go home. Bailey led BNL to 3 real, non-class, final fours and a title, and his worst season ended with a regional loss to a final 4 team and a Mr Basketball. jonz44 and jk34 2 Quote

Popular Post ALASKA HOOSIER Posted February 6, 2019 Popular Post Posted February 6, 2019 Please lord, order Matt Hurt to come play for Indiana. I know it's your will that he play for us. And the other teams he is looking at all play for the devil. Aloha will be be a better person if you make this happen. Can't change him being ugly and looking like the back side of a bus. And one last thing baby Jesus, there is alot of hate on this board and you can smite any one of them hateful, no-gooder purdue people any time and make the forum better for those of us that are close to perfection. I prefer lightning strike over fire and brimstone, just saying....you know....less collateral damage. Your faithful from Alaska. P.S., let us score 103 points against our trespassers. It would also be good to give them 72 points. Amen! mark1981, jonz44, MoyeNeeded and 7 others 5 5 Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted February 22, 2019 Posted February 22, 2019 Don't think very many are still holding out expectations for Hurt but here's the latest from Brian Snow at 247Sports. 247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 8 Even after taking multiple official visits, it seems as though Hurt is in no real hurry to make his decision. The 6-foot-9 versatile forward from Minnesota is one of the most skilled players in the class, and also has a good dose of athleticism and competitiveness. To this point Hurt has stayed mostly quiet in regard to his visits, and seems to be focusing on his senior year, with one eye also looking at his recruitment. Official visits have been taken to Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, and North Carolina. He has one official visit let that he could take, but at this point there is no indication that he has a desire to do that. It still seems like we are weeks, if not months away from a decision from Hurt. While this recruitment has proven to be tough to handicap, Duke and Kansas seem to be the schools with the must behind the scenes buzz, though at the end of the day, none of the four that he has visited would come as a surprise if they are the ultimate choice.
