Brandon Housely To Holmes

[greendevil]

Heard from an extremely reliable source that he has been withdrawn from Newport and will not return for next season. Haven't heard anything else about the matter. Anyone else have any information on this?

[bluethunder]

I've heard Holmes is where he will end up.

I've heard the same today. Big loss for Newport. Though I believe he was an impact player for Newport, will he be able to make a similar impact at Holmes?

[3BREDS2B]

Holmes it is!

[Clyde]

The name sounds familiar. Was he also at Holy Cross at one time?

Like Holmes needs anymore talent. Arent they getting a couple of other transfers from Cincinnati. Seems to be the Hotbed of transfers as of late.

This is not good news for Holmes opponents. While Housely might not have the impact that he would have at Newport, he still may be considered on of the top 10 juniors in the region going into next year and his game seems like the type that would fit well into Holmes system.

Yes, he was at Holy Cross his freshman year. Is it official with Holmes?

If all of the other Holmes transfers were cases of players returning to their roots at Covington Holmes, what is the case for this one?

 

The cities of Newport and Covington are adjacent to each other, right?

 

Can anybody switch schools as often as they like just by switching their apartment or house? If so, then it would seem there is no such thing as a basketball-only transfer from the standpoint of those who govern.

 

This is a huge pickup for Holmes to help fill the guard position vacated by Henderson and a big loss for Newport. This is not just a case of any old player transferring. He is another impact player transferring in his senior year to an already loaded program. It smacks of the AAU allstar mentality where the best athletes congregate at one school.

Lives in Covington...what is the issue?

No transfers from Cincy.

I'm curious how he attended Newport if he lives in Covington?

[bilt for success]

Any relation to Justin Housley? Started at CCH and (I believe) ended up at Holmes?

[letabrotherspeak]

Scott County is supposed to be the new Lex Cath so I guess now Holmes could then also be related to Lex Cath :jump:

 

How so?

Who is moving over great distances to Covington?

FWIW it's worth, I was just kidding. Everyone in this thread knows that things are a bit different in NKY- we don't whine and complain, we just strap up and play.
