watched him play at pikeville college. he is a great player when he tries, but most of the game he acted like he didnt want to be there. the coach never gets onto him or anything. not disciplined at all. he does have alot of talent though.

This is something that I see hurting him down the road. He's never really been coached and lacks discipline which is evident when he doesn't get his way in a game.

Retired after last season....I wouldn't exactly consider what he did coaching though...the Faulkners and Ferguson coached more than he did.

If you call kneeling on one knee and scratching your head with one finger calm then so be it

Yes he has an offer from Tech, Haven't seen him this summer.............But heard he dropped back to back 40 point games in AAU play. May be true, may not. Either way he clearly has more potential than anyone in the mountians........Justice included!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree...but simply cause Knipp is 6'7 and has the frame to add weight. I think he'd be better suited at a different program than EC though.

If you for one minute don't think Elliott Co is not in the mountains, you need to take a drive to Sandy Hook.

Totally agree. He is such a solid player, but if you ever watch him during warmups or whatever, he just doesnt look like he wants to be out there, but then he gets on the court and just provides and conrtibutes, and makes big plays. Been a big fan of this kid for a long time and I hope to see him down state 2 more times.

Update: Timmy Knipp:

(From Jody Demling's blog today)

Elliott County junior-to-be athletic wing Timmy Knipp was one of the state's sophomores last season, despite being on a senior-laden team that had several other high-scoring players.

But after losing six seniors, the 6-foot-8 Knipp knows he's going to have to be the main guy for the Lions next season.

He also knows his college stock is going up after an impressive first week - including several games of shooting lights out - of the July evaluation period for college prospects.

"I'm getting a whole lot of calls, letters, e-mail and stuff," said Knipp, who plays for the Derek Smith All-Stars 16s. "I just try to play hard and not recognize the coaches out here."

Knipp said he doesn't plan on making a decision until next year but says he already has scholarship offers from Tennessee Tech and The Citadel. He said Mississippi State and a number of other schools are also showing a lot of interest.

Knipp is a hard worker I wish our boys like Alexander from Russell would work as hard.
