Harmon ineligible?

[KY Hoop Dirt]

Here's a link to the form that gets filled out by both schools.

 

Where can the sending school contest anything?

Apparently long distance learning is the new......

Hot off the presses. Zion Harmon’s Dad did a recent interview where he addressed the recent decision by the KHSAA to rule Zion ineligible.

 

He said, “they are penalizing Zion because he accomplished too much in two years and have never seen anyone like him in the state of Kentucky.”

 

He also stated, “People are uncomfortable and complain to the KHSAA. They have to find a way to slow him down. You are not supposed to be able to do what he has done. Especially as a 5’10” guard. The Glory goes to God. GGP.”

 

 

Strong quotes right there by Mr. Harmon. I kind of feel like if the appeal process fails them then Zion will never play basketball in KY again. I also feel like they will lose the appeal process now. I’ll be more surprised if they win the appeal at this point.

 

I also gotta say, in this new age of social media and sports coverage we sure are hearing from more and more parents these days. I’m loving the brutal honesty.

Actually the problem is that his dad talks...and talks...and talks.

Question is, is Dad wrong with what he said?

I don’t think anyone is trying to stop Zion from breaking records that’s laughable. Maybe breaking rules but not records. None of this matters because we all know they will find a way to make him eligible. Congrats you got to say what you want and have more people talking. Is there a record for that? You can have that one too! Adults ruining stuff for kids shocking.

I think he is wrong. I don’t think the majority could care less if he broke records.

[The Scribe]

I don't find a father's honesty refreshing when it costs his kid a chance to play basketball, or in the case of Kyky Tandy, a chance to play for the school he has always wanted to play for.

I've seen Zion play at the state tournament as an eighth grader, and no doubt, is a legit player. I almost feel like Mr. Harmon is more concerned about making his kid a Brand. He sells his own GGP gear, sponsors camps while using Zion as a marketing ploy. When he plays against competition like himself(D1 quality) he becomes an average player. If they used his age instead of "8th grader, Freshman" his accolades would be a little different.

Ehhhh, I’ll disagree here. As much as folks have selective outrage when it comes to transfers I think there would be vocal displeasure if Zion became the all time leading scorer in KY. I’ve never seen journalists vocally complain about a kid transferring like we have with Zion.

I do agree with how the role of semantics has played into his hype.

I don’t think anyone was trying to stop him either. I think the process was playing out as it always does and this interview may have hurt his chances during appeal. I also feel like they are headed to prep school now.

I think people are mad over the transferring every year but not the possibility of breaking records.

I agree there. I just think there would be a lot of snark in discussions about him breaking records compared to other folks.
