Boynton is a pure scorer in every sense of the word he has the penetration, short range, mid range and lond range weapons in his bag of tricks. Boynton is lightning quick. A threat to score on every possesion. FloridaHoops.com Writer Rick Staudt had this to say to us about Boynton in an interview in the fall of 07′. Rick Pitino and his staff are putting the full court press on this young man. Boynton helped lead American Heritage to a dominating victory over Riverdale (TN) 86 to 61. He finished the game with 50 points on 11/28/07
Scoop - Florida is also home of the freakishly talented 2009 combo guard Kenny Boynton. Could you sum up his style of play for us and fill us in on what you know about any colleges that Kenny may be looking at?
Rick - I can use one word to sum up Kenny Boynton’s style of play: Attack. On both the offensive and defensive end he comes at you with everything he’s got. Boynton can score from anywhere and get his own shot. His play in the state tournament this past season was nothing short of amazing. Defensively, he gets right in there with the dribbler and does all he can to control him. The kid has been playing at the 17U level since the summer before eighth grade and continues to impress scouts and coaches each time out.
Boynton has been offered by all of the big time schools west of the Mississippi but hasn’t shrunk his list. It will be very interesting to find out where he decides to go.
In Late May 08′ Boynton updated his list:
Schools:
- Florida
Duke
Memphis
Texas
Georgis Tech
