  1. If it’s a legit transfer (meaning no recruitment was involved) it’s fine with me. I have no reason to favor any one of these programs over the other. I support all SETX programs. I’m just giving my opinion from the outside looking in. I have no clue who’s actually recruiting who’s not but certain things look more suspicious than others. Transfers happen all the time. Kids go to different programs for different reasons. Not every time do these reasons involve recruiting. In fact I believe my hometown, Woodville lost a good 2 sport athlete to Silsbee a couple years back. We don’t get a whole lot of great athletes in Woodville so that hurt us I think. But I don’t think any recruiting was involved. I believe he had family ties in Silsbee or may have lived there before at one point and it didn’t hurt that Silsbee has a great athletic program which I think had something to do with him and his family’s decision also. I think that transfer hurt Woodville a lot more than it helped Silsbee which is the killer part lol. But I don’t think there was any recruiting involved. I think that was a decision he and his family made on their own. Now those type of things happen all the time but when 4 or 5 good athletes transfer to a program at one time with no ties to the community that raises eyebrows. If you can prove a coach is recruiting players on a small or large scale than I am all the way with you but if your just going to throw allegations out there because a program has had a transfer or 2 over the years sounds like your reaching
  2. What does this have to do with the topic? Lol
  3. No....I like to keep the goal post where it’s at and keep the playing fields even.
  4. I don’t know much about that situation. But from what I hear HJ may have one transfer playing on the team. Just because you get a transfer does not mean you’ve been actively recruiting. But when you get multiple transfers that definitely raises a red flag. 4 or 5 transfers is definitely worth a conversation and since we’ve been having the conversation the people who call themselves defending these recruiters haven’t really claimed they’re not recruiting. In fact they have said things like “this coach has been knowing these players for years” and “they’d rather play for this coach than anyone else” which sounds like recruitment to me lol. Then they try to defend it by saying other coaches have done it also which verry well may be true but if so it’s done on a smaller scale and less obvious. That’s why those situations don’t get discussed much. They’re normal and may be innocent transfers. Even if they aren’t they’re less obvious
  5. I actually thought this rule was allready in place but either I was wrong or people are finding loop holes
  6. Everyone gets transfers from time to time. Sometimes those transfers happen to really benefit athletic clubs. And yes everyone knows that sometimes those transfers have been recruited. I wish that never happened but that’s less obvious and more manageable to deal with. But when teams start bringing in 4 and 5 recruits in the same year ( not in the course of 5 or 10 years) it becomes more obvious what’s going on and it’s a real blow to the integrity of the game. You being on this site I would guess you are a fan of the game. You having that great man on your profile I would think you valued integrity. If those things were true of you, why would you be supporting recruitment of HS players in public schools?
  7. HF situation is simular although HFs recruits are not as good and only a couple were eligible this year. That’s why he’s defending Yates
  8. Against teams they should be playing which is teams that also recruit
  9. Good season HJ! Someone please find a way to beat Yates
  10. You gotta be mentally prepared to play well against a team that’s longer and more athletic than you. It’s hard for a coach to get his team mentally prepared if they haven’t faced a team like that yet
  11. On the positive side looks like HJ may hold Yates under 100
  12. Or when you have 8 blocked shots first quarter. That’ll get the other team shook up and cause them to make more mistakes like turning the ball over
  13. How do good opportunities get blocked? Lol
  14. That district is not as bad as Yates made them look lol. This game is a toss up though. I’ll take HF by 4. I think they’ll just keep playing better the more they play together. Silsbee better be ready if they have to meet HF 3rd round. If I were Silsbee I’d be hoping HF looses lol
  15. I think Lumberton will probably play them closer than most people think because of their style of play and might have a chance to win if they play like they did the first half of the Tarkington game. La Marque is the favorite though and I’ll give them a 8 point edge. 15 points max
  16. Kountze will have to play some defense to win this game. They did ok on the defensive end against Woodville but Coldspring is a different beast. They definitely won’t be able to outscore them. Good luck Kountze!
  17. Interesting......Good luck Raiders!
  18. Yates is gonna be a super tough task for HJ. I think if HJ can slow the game down, play solid D, limit turnovers, and have a really good shooting night or maybe get 1 or 2 of Yates top guys in foul trouble they have a chance to win. Basically a perfect game and a few mistakes from Yates lol. Good luck though HJ!
  19. Lumberton was really impressive in this game. Especially the first half. Might just be up to the task against La Marque in my opinion
  20. Was a good game. Freshman post from Woodville had a huge game! Good luck against Coldspring Kountze!
  21. North Forest isn’t a great team but they’re not a bad team. Maybe by Yates standard. But Brazosport isn’t on Yates level and Silsbee hasn’t played at that level this year either. Silsbee COULD win by double digits depending on what type of night they have but it won’t be an automatic win. Brazosport has shown they can score almost as well as Silsbee. Neither team has been that great on the defensive end this year.
