lol...the video is not the best quality and you cant get a good idea of his height from it I agree. There is a pic on the jc website with him and Shane Hall back to back. Shane was measured at Alice Lloyd at 6'10'' last season. Leon had just started school when that pic was taken and has put about 15 lbs of muscle since. He is still considerably taller than Shane. I'm 6'5'' and he dwarf's me.

 

Is Shane Hall no longer at Alice Lloyd?

Personally, I think it would be okay to get one player from the Bronx...not 9 or 10. I think that is when it becomes an issue.

 

No it becomes an issue if they allow little tiny Cordia to compete with the blue bloods of the 14th. If they weren't any good no one would care.

That very well might be, I don't know but foreign exchange student programs have existed for a while and this type of thing happens. It could be happenstance and completely innocent, but in today's culture/climate it definitely raises questions. If it's not happenstance and innocent, no matter who then fire away at them for sure and I will be right there too.

 

The Johnson Central and Cordia situations are totally different. The German at Johnson Central is on a J1 Foreign Exchange Visa. He gets one year. Cordia players stay for 4 or more years, gets housed, etc. The German's family had to pay to get him over here, house him, feed him, etc. He is here for the experience and must repeat the year when he returns home.

 

Lots of schools have foreign exchange kids in their program for various sports here and there. Cordia built an entire program out of kids that did not come through the foreign exchange commission and keeps them for 4 years on I20 Visa's. Two totally different things.

 

You both can say it is different all you want. It isn't going to change my opinion at all.

He is not

Fair enough. But like you said, its your opinion. Objectively there is no way they are not different situations.

They are different but the same. Both situations involve kids wanting to play basketball and go to school. One way is cleaner and more acceptable than the other.

I don't think it's a Cordia problem either. Any school in Kentucky that had 9-10 transfers would be targeted.

Good for Johnsonville!

If you say so.

If you say so.

 

Name another school with 10 basketball transfers on the roster.

Where is he now?

Shane Hall is attending Community College at Big Sandy in Prestonsburg. Working toward an education degree. He chose not to continue his basketball career despite still getting D1 calls on a weekly basis.

Thanks for the info. Sorry to hear he is no longer hooping it up. Saw the image of him and the transfer. The new kid is pretty big.

Doc - Nov 2 2016 - 9-52 PM - p1.pdf. Here's what a legit 7 footer looks like . My daughter is 5'7". U guys draw ur own conclusions if the German kid is legit 7.

How many is too many? I know of one school that has 6 transfers on their roster and that is without me looking at their whole roster. 4 of their 5 starters will be transfers.

 

I know another school that usually gets about one transfer in every year and their opening day starting roster may have 3 kids that transferred into the school system starting.

 

Countless schools will be in the BGP Top 20 that have at least one impactful transfer into their school system this year.

 

And again, no one in this board loves transfers more than I do but I am not going to be naive about any transfer situation. The kids are there to play basketball and go to school.
