Like I said...CASE CLOSED...They sat, played JV, now they are CLEAR...No questions asked...OHHHHH, but MY question was never answered about Hardin Jefferson. HAVE THEY HAD A PLAYER IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS TRANSFER INTO THEIR SCHOOL FOR ATHLETIC PURPOSES? I know the answer to that one, just want to make sure a certain poster understands the definition of "transferring for athletic purposes".... ::)
[/quote]

Dickie- I understand that definition EVERY BIT AS WELL as you ever did.  I have been married to an educator for more years than you have been in this world, and have two other educators in my immediate family, so you neednt worry about my understanding of definitions pertaining to education.  Do you  understand what a blatant lie it is to keep saying that all of Yates players are homegrown when so many had to sit out a year and, at the same time, Westend gave you the names of 4 players who transferred in from other schools?

They are as "home grown" as your boys from Sour Lake....Born and raised in Houston! ;)

The best players for Yates are not homegrown.. They are transfers.. But Yates follows the rules of transfers so that they dont get in trouble

The four players mentioned earlier by westend have already sat out their year and played varsity last season. Those are the players I was speaking about.

I have no knowledge of any player on the Yates JV from last season.

Isn't that amazing?  That school (just coincidentally, of course) manages to keep turning out the top JV and Varsity programs in the state and with all "homegrown" players- quite an accomplishment) Most schools have their good years and bad years but not at Yates.

Now I put the asterisk on the 2010 ratings for a reason.  That is because, according to the timeline that Nash provided earlier, this would have been the known TEA ratings at the time that the young man in question would have transferred from Central to Hardin-Jefferson, so it is reasonable that the young man's parents, seeing that comparison, could have determined that their son would receive a better education attending Hardin-Jefferson High School rather than Central, the school that they were zoned to in Beaumont.

2)  By your post, I guess that you have answered my earlier question and are willing to call Beaumont ISD AD Rodney Saveat and either the Central basketball coach or the principal there liars.  Because, in a form that is REQUIRED to be filled out by an athlete, new school and former school district, the athletic director of the former school district (or superintendent) AND the coach or principal must check "yes" or "no" to this question:

"Based on your knowledge of the student and their circumstances, is this student changing schools for athletic purposes?"

http://www.uiltexas.org/files/athletics/forms/papf.pdf

Both Mr. Saveat and the Central coach or principal presumably signed off on a form that had "No" checked for that question.

I guess the Beaumont ISD will be interested to hear that you, in your infinite knowledge, are ready to proclaim them liars.

Here is some "bad" news for you Dickie that is [b]public information[/b] ( that I got from that reliable source of mine that you like to mention.

F A C T:  Undeniable F A C T:  The DEC records reflect that CURRENTLY, Yates has 41 (yes that is FORTY ONE) PAPF applications for incoming freshmen.  Still sticking to your homegrown story, DV?

Bottom line- there are currently 41 incoming freshmen trying to transfer to yates.  As previously stated, isnt it interesting that the overall school population is declining but the basketball "applicants" grows substantially.

DICKIE- regarding your "school performance" allegation- Look this up-  U.S. News and World REport on College Readiness  HJ ranked 148th in the state(and THE highest in region 5)  NONE-ZERO-NADA BISD schools were on that list.  It doesnt matter what you know, who you know, or where you are from.  It is simply the truth and there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING you can do to alter that FACT.

I don't understand why people here are so interested in Yates, LOL

The players on JV looked really good last year, without there freshamn PG who was out with a knee injury, but is healthy once again. 

I know 2 of the other JV players from last year and they were not ready for Varsity ball, but my my how they have gotten better. 

I cannot wait to see how they play this fall, it is great to see young men become better and work so hard.

I agree.  Just think- not only do you have the good players that are from Yates, but 41 more trying to transfer in.  It makes things more than equitable, dont you agree?  It seems a little silly to suggest that for any reason OTHER than everyone is trying to go to school there, that the team is so good.  I't's gonna take DV a little time to respond because, for the sake of maintaining his self appointed image of " knowing everything" he is going to have to research the 41 incoming freshmen story and try to spin it some way by either saying he knew about it or it is no different than 1 transfer coming to HJ over the last 5 years.  Definitely very "similar' situations. ;D

So what! 41 STUDENTS want to attend a school that is rich in tradition...Does that mean they were recruited somehow to play basketball? NO...and as for those TEA ratings...I said BISD as a whole, NOT Central High alone....Please do not insult my intelligence by trying to somehow prove that the kid who transferred to HJ did not go for ATHLETIC PURPOSES...NOT TRYING TO HEAR THAT.

I don't understand why people here are so interested in Yates, LOL

The players on JV looked really good last year, without there freshamn PG who was out with a knee injury, but is healthy once again. 

I know 2 of the other JV players from last year and they were not ready for Varsity ball, but my my how they have gotten better. 

I cannot wait to see how they play this fall, it is great to see young men become better and work so hard.

I agree.  Just think- not only do you have the good players that are from Yates, but 41 more trying to transfer in.  It makes things more than equitable, dont you agree?  It seems a little silly to suggest that for any reason OTHER than everyone is trying to go to school there, that the team is so good.  I't's gonna take DV a little time to respond because, for the sake of maintaining his self appointed image of " knowing everything" he is going to have to research the 41 incoming freshmen story and try to spin it some way by either saying he knew about it or it is no different than 1 transfer coming to HJ over the last 5 years.  Definitely very "similar' situations. ;D

So what! 41 STUDENTS want to attend a school that is rich in tradition...Does that mean they were recruited somehow to play basketball? NO...and as for those TEA ratings...I said BISD as a whole, NOT Central High alone....Please do not insult my intelligence by trying to somehow prove that the kid who transferred to HJ did not go for ATHLETIC PURPOSES...NOT TRYING TO HEAR THAT.

No doubt about it.  Rodney Saveat is a liar and Yates has 41 new "HOMEGROWN" applicants  By the way BISD as a whole has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO with the situation you described.  The situation obviously entails Central and HJ.  That is your weakest crawfish effort yet.  Bottom line (of course you will never admit) is that you regard the young man in question as a "basketball Uncle Tom".  Yes, that one transfer in 5 years is terrible, but 41 applicants at Yates is fine.  OUTSTANDING logic.
