<p>The following are the best 5 senior college prospects in Hendersonville, Tennessee. What this means is that they will eventually receive the greatest recruiting attention and enjoy the best opportunities.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Though the ultimate decision in this specific ranking was mine alone I strongly considered input from head coaches from around the city. For example, I was able to get Beech Head Coach Kip Brown on the phone January 15th.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>1) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1498844' first='Kamden' last='Days']</strong> (John Paul II)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Through 18 games rim-runner [player_tooltip player_id='1498844' first='Kamden' last='Days'] is averaging 17.4 points per game all while shooting 66% from the field! Days leads JPII in rebounding by a mile. Through those 18 contests the senior already tugged down 153 rebounds.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Much of the exciting potential shown by Days last season converted into production this campaign. Mid-January Kamden scored 28 points as part of a double-double against Brentwood Academy. The next night he scored 32 points against C.P.A.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>2) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2610425' first='TJ' last='Ruffin']</strong> (Beech)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"He guards the other team's best player," shared Beech Head Coach Kip Brown. "He is our best guard by far, and our second-best player. He is averaging 14 ppg. 3.5 rpg, 1+ spg, 1+ bpg. </p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Ruffin's role changed quite a bit from last season to this.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"[Last year] he started.," said Coach Brown. "He would run the point and off-guard. Outside of Cutter and our three seniors he filled that role. Good team basketball. He only got like 6 ppg on very few shots. He took the lead this summer. Really quick off-the-dribble. Not many guys can keep him in front. Real bouncy. He has several dunks this year [in-game]."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><em>Does he intend to play college basketball?</em></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>"He wants to play in college. He wants to play somewhere. 6'2" long. Long wingspan. He is skinny. Needs to put on a little muscle. He jumps out when you see him play a quarter or two."</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>3) <strong>[player_tooltip player_id='2747408' first='Cooper' last='Jordan']</strong> (Hendersonville)</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Consistent guard with modest athleticism. Cooper can handle decently. A little wiggle. He rebounds with great effort. Tough, physical dude. Defends multiple positions with extreme tenacity. High-academic.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Can take a bump and still finish in the lane.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jordan knocked down four three-pointers at Mt. Juliet.</p>
