Boy when it rains it pours. Again the administrative support is horrible and quite frankly this program has been doomed for the last several years. Keep in mind when this program was started it was started by northern kentucky guys who knew what they were doing. In fact in year one of varsity I believe Bracken won 3 games......but since the county has gone to as many local administrators as they can the program has fallen off the table. Does not matter who takes over.........this is a dead program.

Sounds like the whole town of Bellevue is bothering you. Better take this up with the mayor.

BB good points but you have basketball people wanting 6th grade hoops......baseball needing a feeder program, etc. This is really a dilemma for the AD.

I am not convinced there is the level of talent playing that is necessary to compete at a high level. However.....this kind of season is not going to convince anybody else to play next year.

Well......you cannot do that in a district tourney game. My concern is more why do these schools schedule each other? Now I realize some are district tourney seed games. But unless it is that why schedule each other?

I am well aware of the one year rule. However......you tell me one recruit that comes in and is told well we might pull this after one year.................. The idea is to be there for the duration. You know that as well as I do.

I am almost positive he started in the Augusta school system but I would want somebody to confirm that. Could very well be wrong. Anyone??

Does anybody remember the score of the Brossart Silver Grove game????

Okay there have been many lopsided scores this year posted on BGP. I am trying to think about some of the worst scores I have ever seen.......Is thsi becoming more of a trend?

I remember a district tourney game in the late 90's that Silver Grove lost 40 something to 2 against Brossart. And you know what? Brossart did everything short of getting out on purpose to keep the score down.

Any thoughts or memories on this issue????????

I will stick by my opinion on this and I am not crying about it. I am offering a perspective.

If that was the case I am sure Coach B. will take care of that today..... I mean I have seen them miss cutoffs and stuff like that but major league players do that stuff.

RuSerious wow well............you have hit the nail on the head in several areas. If they would have kept the leadership they had in the early 2000's they would have continued to bring in better coaches which in turn tends to bring in better players. But the county has what they want. Home grown central office employees who have blinders on and a continuous merry go round in the football and basketball programs. Besides if they would have kept the superintendent prior to this he has a bunch of young athletes who are dominating there respective leagues in basketball and baseball. :ylsuper: You can't run off the guys with the athletes as kids!!!!!!

Again I do not care if Macy or Tubby or John Wooden pushed kids out. I disagree with that practice and the everybody does it.....does not make it morally or ethically right.

Part of this also is (I believe) the immediate Coming of Coach Cal and the time spent trying to figure out how to open up scholarships by people on here as well as others. I mean it would be better if a player leaves (on his own accord and for reasons that he does not fit in the new system and chooses to go) and then scholarships open up. In this scenario what is being promoted is get a guy to commit then figure out who has to give up a scholly for him to get in. That is wrong.

Listen the "everybody else is doing it" philopsophy I try to "uninstill" with my teenage kids so I really hate that argument. Yes it is a business however I also tried to make it clear I do not condone that part of the business. The fact that posters try to justify this with the everybody does it and look at this example still does not make it right. There are schools that rise above this and there are schools that justify this. I do not like it and will continue to rail against it.

I tend to agree with you.....Hitting is poor. Pitching after Sainola I think is shaky at best.

Look I know the die hard UK fan will not look at this objectively :irked: which is what I am trying to do. I think IF the wholesale changes come (and by that I mean 3 or 4 players leave to open up scholarships........it gives the university a perception issue. I want UK to win but I also do not like how some of this is being done. And several posters have commented on having the "just get rid of them attitude" so we can bring in better players and agree with this strategy. I do not agree with doing this and quite frankly have issues with coaches that try to take players from a place they recruited them to a new place. But again its an opinion.

Rumor has it that several (more than two) of next years seniors will not be playing. But we also know how that goes when the season roles around you never know. Also probably depends on the enthusiasm a new hire can bring.

Transfers happen......Players being forced and persuaded out is a different story. And not being asked to leave due to academic and/or personal issues. Rather just because they are not good enough when they were good enough the prior year. Spin it any way you want it still boils down to a bad perception.

Things such as handling these kids "quiet but stern" does not show that the kids interest is at heart. Now lets look at this from the flip side. The coach who takes the job knows the roster. If you look at the last several major coaching changes at major universities you do not see turnover of 3-4 players. I am looking at rosters from North Carolina, UCLA, and Ohio St. when they had there most recent changes.

Never really saw so many people rooting for kids to "fail" so the ycan move on and so UK can get other players. Sad what some people want the program to become.

Integrity and keeping your word as a University have no place in this rebuilding process.

Highlands is playing bad baseball right now. Still have a few weeks to get the ship corrected.

Dude for someone who professes to know so much about the goings on at Bellevue anytime anything is brought up that might be negative you try to act like it did not happen. I know parents and players who have been brought into the principal's office to talk them into football. Nobody is called in to try to play basketball.

Yes he did resign. I think they need to get him back involved if that is ok with you? Or is that opinion not allowed?

Now since you only bolded two does that mean you agree with the other points?

Nice win for Ludlow.....................Stamm is the man.

Good point................My issue was more with Highlands. Even though Highlands beat Bellevue 4-3 I think Bellevue is a better team than them.
