They’ve had 3-4 of their top middle school players hold back and enroll at Glasgow because Bowling Green wouldn’t allow them to. 

This is crazy to me. Are other schools around the state experiencing their players redoing 8th grade? I know some kids hold back for athletic purposes from time to time, but for BG to have 3-4 in one class and according to DearToday "top middle school players," that could potentially hurt the Purples long term. Even with an extra year of middle school, these players are still going to be freshman at some point and there is still a major learning curve and adjustment to the size and speed of high school ball. Just very strange IMO

I'm not sure if the kids plan on staying there for high school, but if they do it'll be a loss for Bowling Green on down the road. One is an OL/DL that played for FBU Team KY, and the other is a QB/Corner that did as well.

Transfers Between High Schools Policy

BGP is not a clearinghouse or platform for speculation, rumors, or discussion of potential or anticipated student-athlete transfers.

The use of the terms “transfer portal” or “portal” to describe high school student-athletes is prohibited in all high school forums.

Only confirmed transfers may be discussed, and discussion must be strictly limited to factual reporting of the move (i.e., the student-athlete has transferred from School A to School B).

Permitted content is limited to basic factual information such as the athlete’s name, sport/position, and the schools involved.

The following are strictly prohibited:

• Any speculation, inference, or commentary regarding the reasons for a transfer.

• Any discussion, suggestion, or implication of recruiting, inducement, eligibility issues, or rule violations in connection with a transfer.

• Generalized commentary about schools, coaches, programs, or communities engaging in recruiting behavior based on transfer activity.

• Attempts to indirectly question or interpret motives behind a transfer.

No discussion of transfers is permitted unless the transfer has already been officially completed and publicly confirmed. Even in those cases, discussion must remain strictly factual and non-interpretive.

This forum is not the venue for reporting or debating KHSAA violations. If you believe a violation has occurred, report it directly to the Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA).

No false, unverified, or misleading information may be posted.

Purples looking good. Fully expect them to be a 5A contender.
