Markel McClendon has enrolled and started at Holmes today. Confirmed with Holmes coaching staff. Got wind of it last week but wanted to wait until it was official to post.

 

Big boost to next years' team.

For those unfamiliar with him, kid can play. Has played varsity the past two years as an 8th and 9th grader at Holy Cross.

 

Had 16 pts v Scott Co and 14 against both Madison Central and Bullitt East this year. He will fill the void left by Palmer as a secondary ball handler at the 2 and back up PG.

No way the kid can play next year.

 

If he does, scrap all transfer rules and declare it a free agent market.

Reason?

Reason?

 

No valid reason to get a waiver.

This one will be interesting. If all the players who were either scheduled to go to or would have stayed at Holmes they clearly would have had a dynasty. Kel will be an instant replacement for Quan....if it all goes thru with the KHSAA.

Absolute joke. Everyone knows what his reasoning behind the transfer will be; "Can not afford the tuition!" Whatever happened to staying at one school and being loyal? He is going to Holmes for one reason and that is because they can't get out of the district.

It was not an issue for the St. Henry kid that went to Conner.

How did he get the waiver? Had he played varsity at SH?

A kid transfers and you have grown adults bashing him. Unless you know the reason and hear it from him or his mother, I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

Question, how often are transfers denied?

I'm not familiar with any examples of a private school transfer to a public school ever being denied. Are there examples of public to private, or public to public where the party has not moved (other than Moss' situation), that have been approved transfers? The appeal that I am most familiar with was private to private based on educational opportunities and relationships (good but not great athelete), and it was denied.

Yes, the year prior and he played for Conner this year. Never moved his place of residence.

Pay attention, Walter. No one is BASHING the kid.

 

The state has rules. They too often choose not to enforce them. THAT is the issue.

One more example.

Hicks went from Shelby to Trinity and had to sit out a year.
