(and yet you claim to know specifics about a Silsbee player who graduated in 2011) You are a seasoned, highly connected basketball coach who can out recruit anybody. No need to try that. If you want to use Central, so be it- I refer you back, then to the Ron Jackson/Kenyon Spears analogy. How do you compare the schedules of a 3-a school and a 4-a school? Let me give you a hint, that you really shoudnt need. HJ had no idea that the ozen JV would be in the tourney. They also had no idea that the Ozen JV would be in their same bracket. They also had no idea that three teams would withdraw from the tourney at the last minute. So to suggest what you have suggested, once again, makes you look less than credible. And one more thing,- I guess Clemson forgot today what a superior schedule is played by LSU[/quote]You speak nonsense. When Ron Jackson played central was 5a. Ron didn't have to walk on. And Stallworth was on the recruiting list but was over shadowed because he was a 6'4 center his senior year. Which d1 will recruit a 6'4 center? The whole tournament was sub par. Look at the final score of the championship game. Where was the competition? That was easy wins besides Ozen jv. They just made it seem weaker. The Gamble had openings.
stevenash Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Disagree- Jackson was a product of 5-a, supposedly the hardest schedule and Spears from lowly HJ where they play only easy teams. Who was more productive at Lamar? Several posts ago, you said grades were the problem and now you say height was the problem- which was it? Who would want a 6'4" center? Probably a lot more than a 6'1" center like Rideaux.
stevenash Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 If the HJ schedule is so "harmful" to those for whom you are so concerned, why didnt you give him your worldly advice to stay where he began? After all, HJ has been playing that same soft schedule for a very long time, including 2009 as a state semi finalist and 2007 as the state champion.

Probably a lot more than a 6'1" center like Rideaux.[/quote]In recent years that has been central's problem. Name me 4 players who came out of central and went straight to d1 since Jackson. But I bet I can name 10 who had to go to juco because of grades. You talking about Jackson like that wasn't early 90s. We are talking now. If I'm not mistaken Jackson had a scholarship to Lamar coming out of high school and didn't have to earn one like spears did. Not saying spears wasn't good enough because he was but like most small school prospects, they have to prove they self once they get there because coaches don't think they are ready.
stevenash Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 No - you ARE mistaken- Jackson came to Lamar from Tyler JC, so he had to prove himself just like Spears did. You still never answered my question: Who had the more productive career at Lamar? The player who came from a 5A school with the "tough" schedule or the player who came from a little old 3-a school that never plays anybody?

Was given a scholarship from Tyler where as spears had to earn his scholarship. Don't matter who had the more productive career. He had to prove hisself when he had amazing numbers in high school,but why? He wasn't battle tested
stevenash Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Spears held out for a larger school/scholarship and made a mistake doing so. jackson was offered a junior college scholarship and took it. Going to a jc is another way of "proving" oneself. And yes, it does matter who did better at lamar. You are saying it doesnt because it doesnt bolster your point. If HJ had played at the Gamble tourney, it would have no (Zero-nada) on the basketball future of the individual for whom you are concerened

That has nothing to do with playing in a weaker tournament. He is taken care of. Juco also say 9 times out of 10 their grades wasn't good enough to get in d1. Some of the best players go juco and never make it out. Nobody go to juco and turn down d1 offers if they had grades. Name me the last HJ player that went d1 straight out of high school
stevenash Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 SHANNN HOLMES AND GENE ISABELL. Who cares about that. The whole point being made is that the coaching staff is CONSIDERABLY better qualified to make scheduling decisions than you are. You started this by saying that the schedule hurts college prospects for HJ players and I am saying that playing Gamble instead of EC means NOTHING at all and has Zero bearing on their chance to advance their careers.

stevenash Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 Doesnt matter one bit if there were any coaches there. If there is a good player at a small school, the recruiting system is sophisticated enough to know about them. Prudhomme got lots of looks and so did Donahoe based on virtually the same schedule. One d-1 coach came to a playoff game last year to look at Prudhomme and came away interested in Bosha. Stop trying to suggest that a kid from a small school is going to get a scholarship simply by playing in a specific tourney. Once again, you dont look too smart trying to suggest that you know more than the HJ coaching staff about how they should structure its schedule. In fact, it really looks very silly.
