How long until these ambitious young men and families with academics such a vital part of their selection criteria begin looking at Beechwood/Holy Cross/Dixie? 

Have we finally hit the saturation point?

 That has already happened more than a couple times.

Kinda funny, I asked my buddy who’s kid goes to Turpin and first question he asked me does he play football also.

Does he play football?  Or will he play football at Turpin?

He does not play football, and his uncle who owns McHale's Catering next door to CCH said this was happening in March.

For all the scrutiny CCH  has received about Ohio players recently, this one didn't get any attention at all that I recall.

 I have to believe the McHales have checked this out but, does Ohio have any rules on players who have been living in state but playing out of state and then transferring back into an Ohio high school?

Yes, he flew in under the radar.

I understand Horn will be moving on, any thoughts where he will be? I assume Highlands is in equation if this is true!

McHale now Horn.  Isn't Horn's dad the NKU coach?

Yes he is.

Anyone else other than these 2?

Honestly, this situation is a good argument for those who think transfers should be allowed. I am not saying I am 100% in favor of free transferring in high school. Actually I am not in favor of it, but here is a good argument I see for those who are in favor. 

These players get to test themselves in a top notch program to find how good they are. When they find they aren't getting the playing time they want or aren't as good as they and their families/friends thought they were, they can move over to another program. High school is a very short 3 year varsity experience. It isn't good for anyone taking one year away from these players in high school.

Is this factual or speculation? Horn leaving CCH?

Walker has wanted to be back in Texas since the day the Horn family arrived in Kentucky. Given the fact that he was moving away from the place he grew up after a year of high school, I can get it.   At one point I know the family was researching whether or not there was a correct channel to allow Walker to move back and stay with an assigned legal guardian while his parents stayed on in Kentucky so Darren could continue as coach at NKU.

Anything can happen, but I think assuming Highlands is the obvious option for Walker's transfer is far off the mark, particularly taking into account the fact that he only has one year of high school left.

I would love to really give my thoughts on this but will keep them to myself.  Also is there anyone else on the move?  Keep hearing a big stud may be heading back from where he came from.

Which big stud?

Crazy to think someone could move away from such a sterling academic school. Hmmmmmm
