The grass is NOT always greener on the other side. Recruiting for HS is simply WRONG. Unless special circumstances prevail. A sport reason is not an acceptable reason. C'mon KHSAA, stop the madness. A school that plays with their own kids is at a real disadvantage a lot of the time. Where is the school pride that we all used to have while playing for our local HS? It is just very frustrating to know that a lot of teams are going out and convincing players to leave their home school and transfer to a different school. Good Luck Lyon Co.!!!

While I understand what you are saying, the KHSAA sees things differently.

Also “local HS”went out about 48 years ago in the Louisville area when kids started being bussed all over the city. 

Ah for the good ole days!

I would also make a point that a player's individual development is important.  Even if a team may do better, that doesn't mean the player is learning and developing the skills they will need to succeed at the next level.

Whether you agree or disagree, I think nowadays kids go to schools (either public or private) to improve their chances to make it to college and not as much to win championships.

Jayden Johnson got all the hype as best freshman this year coming in but got outplayed big time by the smaller Cole Edlen. Hit big shots and forced turnovers on Johnson. 

Both are impressive Freshmen, but I would agree, it was clear who the better Freshman was last night.

Seeing Johnson play a few times last 2 years and I haven’t been impressed. Know he’s 6’5 at a young age but from a skill perspective not really seeing it. Also he plays so cool and laid back. Cole has a dogg in him anyone would want play with on in team regardless of size.

I understand I'm one of very few, but I totally agree with you.
