Brandon Moore (St. X) Transferred to Jeffersonville (IN)

Glazer told him he wasn't going to play as much as he(moore) would like. Brandon is now starting tailback/slot wr/ at jeff high school(in)

Is that Jeffersonville High School in Indiana?

[Xgrad-JAGdad]

While I tease a lot about St. X football, I hate to see a young man pass on a St. X education just so he can play football. Perhaps there is more to the story and it really is not my business but I see this as a FUMBLE!!!

yes

Is the KHSAA going to have to close the out of state loophole like Ohio did? Ohio says you must live in state to be eligible to play sports.

Wouldn't that be Indiana closing the loophole?

No, Kentucky. Doesn't Moore live in Indiana? I thought he did. I was assuming he just went back to play in the state where he lives. So Kentucky needs to tell these kids from Indiana and Ohio that they have to live in Kentucky to play sports in Kentucky.

He does live in Indiana

Why?

[PurplePride92]

Why?

 

It just doesn't seem right for a kid who doesn't live in the state of Kentucky to be allowed to play sports or even attend high school in Ky.

 

What's the story on this kid? He left St. X on Wednesday and was starting on the football tram at a school in Indiana on Friday night? Ky kids can't do that while staying in state. Why should kids not even living in this state be allowed to do that?

[Rocket20]

I believe the rules are such that if a kid transfers due to a financial hardship they are allowed to play immediately. Going from private to public is a lot easier than the public to private route. Good luck to Brandon.

OK. I read it as he lives in Kentucky, not the other way around.

There is a similar situation in N. Ky. with Antonio Campbell, a basketball player at Covington Holy Cross who is a D1 commit to Ohio University. Campbell, then a junior, showed up at Holy Cross right at the start of basketball season last year coming over from Cincinnati. Now, Campbell is apparently going back to Cincinnati to play this year.

 

This seems to be happening more and more. I believe the KHSAA is going to need to put in a rule that you must live in state to play sports. Ohio already has that rule in place. I am not sure about other neighboring states.
