On Monday, Oct. 20th, the KHSAA ruled DJ Jenkins eligible for the Scott Co. Cardinals. DJ's father currently rents from Harrison Co. Thorobred basketball coaches father in Cynthiana. KHSAA called Coach Kendall's father to verify that the Jenkins family still rented in Harrison Co. or if they'd moved to Georgetown? KHSAA receives information that rent was paid for the month of October and they STILL ruled kid eligible. Therefore, let it be known to ever player in the state of Kentucky, you can now be a free agent!! Live in another county and not play for your hometown team. KHSAA serves no purpose in my estimation.

 

I definitely have my opinion on all this player movement going on that I will keep to myself for the time being. But my question is...how do you know any of the personal info you posted above?

Someone is bitter!

 

Can't be ruled eligible in that case unless some key details are missing.

 

If he's adopted he can't go to his family's home school? That's a new one.

Some of you need to just read this:

Having a mother sign over a child to another family is adoption? Granted I do not know all the facts here nor will I pretend to but on several levels something just ain't right.

c) CHANGE OF CUSTODY- The KHSAA shall not recognize

guardianship or similar arrangements made, for purposes

of this bylaw. The period of ineligibility may be waived if it is

shown that custody of the student has been taken from one or

both parents and given to the other parent or a third person

by a court of competent jurisdiction and under circumstances

indicating: (1) the parent(s) are un

fi t or (2) the court fi nds that

the health and welfare of the student would be better served by

the change in custody.

I love how people just assume all this stuff about transfer. It's pretty clear.

I was unaware...why I asked the question. Thanks.

I wasn't referring to you. I assumed you knew. I thought your question was rhetorical. My apologies.

Well my thoughts are simple. I truly believe that selling tickets are a huge motivator for Julian Tackett. Rumor is he pulled all of the State Tournament officials after the the 1st round games at the 2013 Sweet Sixteen and exclaimed he'd better not see another traveling call, charge called, fouled called (unless blatantly obvious), or certain player control fouls because "that's what people don't want to see, people buy tickets to see scoring and fast play, not to see the game held up by officials!" If this is the case, looks like rulings would be useless.........

 

As for Jenkins...... He never learned a lesson in integrity. Harrison County dedicated years to his development and he walked out and turned his back on that community. Sure he is a kid, but is this the type of person we want representing our workforce when we need them?

 

I am taking into consideration some underlying factors that are none of our business here, maybe HCHS was lacking something academically or maybe HCHS was lacking some leadership, either way....... we made it ok for this to be a reoccurring topic. I wish the best for the young man, but he's left quite an impression. 1 year at Scott County??? This is the year he could've taken HCHS back to the state tourney, Scott County will not advance.

 

Mighty Henry Clay!!!

You may very well have heard/been told this...not disputing that. But, I don't believe for one second that conversation actually took place or that Julian Tackett actually said anything close to that. Just my opinion.

And I say again, ugh!

Talked to an official who worked it. Never happened.
