On another note, what is your thought of people who come on this board with multiple identities and with one or two them, try to promote themselves?

Interesting you say this bc I’ve proved at least 10 times over the years that your opinion is nothing but that. Their is no truth to it whatsoever. ONE kid, Kelvin Smith, moved to Nederland in the 9th grade. A kid who had barely played b-ball before he arrived at Nederland. He did become the MVP of the district his Senior year. Must have been some good coaching. 😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gogo1734 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Share Posted February 28, 2020 I was on the fence about all of this but after reading through some of these posts, if true, Yates had FOUR Senior transfers this year. All who are major contributors to their team. They also had a fifth transfer who was denied. (I must have missed the reasoning for the denial) It seems to me all of the other accusations of recruiting against HJ and Silsbee, etc. are just that. Accusations with no real substantial evidence. I'd say four Senior transfers is more than enough for the UIL to have to look into the situation. Especially four players of that caliber. What are the chances of that actually happening?

It happened and was approved by the UIL Executive Committee with no problem esp for 1. Yates and the transfer portal isn’t going anywhere any time soon, so SETX and the HJ Coach can get use to it or move down in classification. That’s right if you move down to 3A you will have the same issues with Dallas Madison and there transfer portal kids. There was a rumor going around the neighborhood that Yates might become a Prep School and remain in UIL similar to the prep schools in 4A Region 2 District 10. With the recent Population growth around Yates and the school being located between 2 universities makes Yates an ideal candidate for a Prep School. The transfer portal will be in full effect if that ever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm simply questioning the legitimacy of four outstanding basketball players transferring to one 4A school in the same year for academic reasons. Since doing so for athletic reasons would not be permitted. Is that not a valid question? BayouB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the same time that this growth has taken place, my understanding is that Yates enrollment has gone from 1150 to 850. hmmmm gogo1734 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the HJ coach is upset because he is 0-4 against Yates and the transfers. This is my personal op WOW, transfer portal worked for 2 rings for Silsbee Tigers 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿 Middle to high school not Junior to senior year lmao Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop with the excuseS where I’m from life is uneven for most people 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 bullets13, SportsJunkie32 and JY3rd 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
