winwin

This thread is supposed to be positive for this young man. MOST kids don't go anywhere after high school.

Proud of this young man. Played hard all year and it paid off. Good luck at the next level. Gonna miss having him with us again this summer

No, Parquet is leaving for academic reasons And that's an easy sale.

I heard Sneed was moving to HJ. If lil C (Calvin Tyler) is moving, I wouldn't think it would be for basketball reasons since he will be the best running back in a 200 mile radius of Beaumont Texas next year.

Dont forget the lighting in the gym....

Nope....younger

Scratch that. You still have NC.

Wow. HJ was the early rumor then. By the way, sorry about your Sooners bust. Pretty much ends your bid right? Lol

I will do my list later. It will be the real deal

Guess we wait and see Emails will be going out next week....

Rumor is HJ

Yes. "Ran" straight into 5-peat bound Prestonwood Christian lol.

It was pointed out to me that my comments may have been misunderstood about the Parquets or any other family wishing to attend Kelly. I would like to clear up any misunderstanding. I would never assume that a family doesn't have the money to attend Kelly. I have no way of knowing anyone else's financial situation. I only pointed out the tuition schedule because the more you make, the more you pay. And the most important reason I listed it is because the rumors I am hearing is that people think they are coming on a scholarship...which doesn't exist. So if anyone were reading this that are planning to come to Kelly, I don't want them to base their decision on getting a scholarship and then get blindsided in August and have to scramble to make arrangements for another school. This has happened in the past. I know plenty of people who have the money to come to Kelly, but don't would rather not spend the money. That's why I said in an earlier post that having the money and being willing to spend it are two different things. So I NEVER doubted the Parquets have the money to come to Kelly. I just don't want them to think there's a scholarship out there. If I were moving my son, I would want all the details early so I can make a wise decision. Just trying to help.

But I disagree on one point...Kelly will make a playoff run next year

Yes. Thats what makes me doubt the rumor. But like I said a few posts back, it all shapes up in August. So we wait and see.

Most of his exposure would come in the summer at certified tournaments. And I don't know the entire situation either but its hard to imagine a kid would want to leave a top-notch program like Coach Davis runs. To make an analogy, it would be like leaving Princeton for Harvard. Little to no difference.

I posted that for the general audience because apparently more than one kid is rumored to be coming to Kelly. And having the ability to pay is different from being willing to pay. The rumor I keep hearing is that kids are getting a scholarship to Kelly...which is flat out not true. No such scholarship exists. So I posted the tuition to clear the air about how it works. Not directed at the Parquets at all.

LOL. No I didn't take it as a negative. I'm not a fan of any player wanting to leave a school for individual reasons. And by that I mean he isn't getting enough touches, playing time, points, etc. I don't know that to be the case with the HJ players...just rumors really. So I posted the stats to show it would be tough to be "featured" next year at Kelly. Especially from next years crop of players in the area. I may be biased, but we already have the best class of 2018 player in the area TxHoops would probably agree. Valsin is a grown man and very tough match up.

No. Both are good schools and both have good basketball programs.

And Kelly plays team basketball as well...which REALLY confuses me about any move for individual reason, if that's the case. We feature no one player. No plays are called for anyone. Last year here's how the season ended in scoring....hard to be more balanced than THAT! lol John Kraemer - 336 - 11.6 PPG Cannon Broussard - 326 - 11.2 PPG Tevin Baker - 317 - 10.6 PPG Dareiyus Richard - 257 - 9.2 PPG Jomard Valsin - 248 - 8.3 PPG

You are somewhat correct. But I am certain that IF a parent "invests" in a student to come to Kelly, there is no IRS benefit. It would be out of the goodness of their heart. lol. Like I said, IF it happens, it is kept quiet. So the question becomes, which parent is going to invest $8000-$10,000 for a basketball player??? Surely not a regular old parent. And I don't know of any basketball parents cutting those kind of checks. Which brings me back to my original point. In almost 99% of the cases, if the students parent isn't willing to pay the $1250 in fees and $700-$900 monthly in tuition, they aren't coming to Kelly. But there is always that 1% so we just sit and wait.

Yes I'm sure some families seek assistance from other people for tuition. But this is a violation and if that happens, the student must sit out a year of varsity. TAPPS encourages these circumstances for enrollment...but like I said, they have to sit one year. And there a lot of kids that come to Kelly from the BISD in the 9th grade that aren't athletes. I have some friends that did so and they chose not to spend the money in the first 8 years at St. Anne, All Saints or St. Anthony because the high school years were more important to them from a college acceptance stand point. The K-8 private schools in Beaumont are - St. Anne, St. Anthony and All Saints. But we also get kids from St. Catherine in Port Arthur and St. Mary in Orange. Legacy K-8 kids normally go to Legacy. As it stands today, next year will look like this: (No starting spot is safe as you know lol) Only two transfers and all other players enrolled as freshmen. Returning Varsity Starters 2016-2017: Sr. Tevin Baker - (Port Arthur Public) 4 year starter Sr. John Kraemer - (St. Anne) 4 year starter Sr. Cannon Broussard - (Nederland Transfer) 3 year starter Jr. Jomard Valsin (Port Arthur Public) 3 year starter Sr. Dareiyus Richard - (Bmt Central Transfer) 2 year starter Returning Varsity 2016-2017: Soph. Kevin Dotson (St. Anthony) Soph. Drew Rawls (St. Anthony) Sr. Simon Guillory (St. Anthony) Sr. Josh Payne (All Saints) JV Move Up for 2016-2017: Sr. Nick King (Port Arthur Public) Sr. Cameron Meaux (St. Anne) Sr. Paul Bleuel (St. Anne) Sr. Zack Roberts (St. Anthony) Sr. Cade Theriot (Lumberton)

Lazeek is an 8 handicap...you should go $500 a hole

Home grown is hard to define at Kelly. Kelly doesn't have automatic feeder schools since its a private school. Kraemer, Baker, Valsin all enrolled as Freshman. Cannon Broussard transferred in as a Soph and Dareiyus Richard transferred in as a Jr. All 5 are returning. As for any HJ transfers, I can tell you that nothing is ever a "done deal" when talking about Kelly. Every year we have at least 3 "done deal" transfers and they never materialize. This much I can tell you....registration for the 2016-2017 year opened a couple of months ago. As of today, no HJ players have registered, submitted transcripts or paid the registration fee. There is this assumption that Kelly gives athletic scholarships. ANY athletic scholarship in either UIL or TAPPS is considered a recruiting violation...so no such scholarship exists. The only assistance that families receive at Kelly is the sliding scale tuition. All students have to pay the following fees BEFORE school even starts: $200 Registration Fee, $460 Annual Fee, $250 Athletic Fee, $200 Technology Fee, $75 Supplies Fee, $45 Tuition Fee, and $20 New Student Fee. That means ALL Kelly students will have to pay $1250 in just fees before the year even starts. These aren't waived for anyone under any circumstances. Then there's tuition. You can either pay in full or break it into 10 monthly payments. Catholic families get a discount. Here's the tuition schedule PER STUDENT for Catholic families (it's a little more for non-Catholic families): Family Combined Income of: $24,999 or less - $3,325 Year $25,000 - 35,000 - $4,700 Year $35,001 - 50,000 - $5,925 Year $50,001 - 75,000 - $7,275 Year $75,001 - 100,000 - $8,675 Year $100,001 – 150,000 - $10,125 Year $150,001 and up - $11,175 Year International Students - $16,075 Year And I already know people talk about other parents helping families that cant afford it. Whether or not this happens, there's no way for us to know about it. I would guess that anyone coming in would fall into the $50k - $100K tuition. Hard to imagine someone would fork up THAT kind of money for an athlete. lol. So, NOTHING is a done deal at Kelly. People don't do enough investigating during the summer and then end up going somewhere else in August. Happens every year. So we make it a habit of not getting our hopes up until they show up for basketball class

No Look got Yale, Wichita State and Gonzaga. Not bad
