Who do you have as the 10 best in the 13th, 14th, 15th & 16th?

Robert Marcum can't get any respect, despite winning the region twice in a row.

I'm lookin' forward to seeing them and Knox Central in the WYMT this year. Wish North Laurel could have gotten in it too so we'd have more of the top teams in the Mountains.

On Monday, Oct. 20th, the KHSAA ruled DJ Jenkins eligible for the Scott Co. Cardinals. DJ's father currently rents from Harrison Co. Thorobred basketball coaches father in Cynthiana. KHSAA called Coach Kendall's father to verify that the Jenkins family still rented in Harrison Co. or if they'd moved to Georgetown? KHSAA receives information that rent was paid for the month of October and they STILL ruled kid eligible. Therefore, let it be known to ever player in the state of Kentucky, you can now be a free agent!! Live in another county and not play for your hometown team. KHSAA serves no purpose in my estimation.

The KHSAA is a model of consistency. You can trust them to do the right thing. They don't care how big or small the school is or what the stakes are.

I'm not sure any other schools have an entire roster made up of transfers so they probably aren't very nervous. I'll be interested to see how it plays out. If Cordia wins their appeal, the KHSAA should just make every kid in the state eligible and roll with it.

Well you have a point. I guess some teams just poach a few star players from other teams in the state and put them with their own team, but those seem to be fine. I guess Cordia should have left a few hometown kids sitting on the bench so everything would have been fine with the KHSAA.

Guys I can tell you it is far from a slam dunk. This whole investigation the khsaa has put together is a joke and if people don't stand up and fight them you have no recourse. I heave read just about every document involving this case and it is full of holes. On the surface it looks like the worst violations since the Chicago black sox. Here is one example: coach Larry Williams moved Chris Hudson from Texas to Kentucky at no cost to him or his family. What is conviently omitted is that at the time Larry Williams moved he was not a coach, he was not affiliated with the school in any way just a parent. He also came here with his 2 sons that was not mentioned and he was the legal court appointed guardian of Chris. All of these facts were not mentioned in their findings. This is just one example there are many more like this. All of the cordia kids are still there and yes so is rod Rhodes. I have heard all of these kids say if they don't play at cordia this year they won't play at all they like it there and do not plan to leave. Numerous schools have attempted to recruit them away with all sorts of promises but they are content where they are. Tuesday is going to be interesting they may not win but they will take it as far as possible.

If this really was "the most wanton and blatant disregard for association rules in the KHSAA's 97-year history" I want to know why it isn't a slam dunk???

Has the public been mislead? You sure would think that they'd have them in the electric chair already, not dragging this out into November or even longer.

Yep. Kids only go to new schools because they played AAU together, became friends and wanted to play together places-- but that excuse doesn't fly with Goodin. #RollingEyes

Oh wait, I heard this gem this past week, "they can't help it people want to come play for them".

Too bad Taylor County's antics throughout the past few decades is what's giving Kentucky a reputation for everyone to cry about. Let's be honest, they're the ones trashing the place up-- Captain Sarcasm told me so himself.

Good job Evan Hall! You will do well there.

With the way people follow white guys around in stores he must be Houdini to pull that off the first 8 times.

Who has he put on blast? I don't recall anyone being singled out by him. I think anyone is allowed to make a general statement about transfers.

 

Things ain't looking too good at Cordia, huh?

Re-read this thread and get back to me on whether or not he's put anyone on blast.

Things aren't looking too good for a lot of teams, so at least things are becoming more consistent.

Big time athlete. Kid has some serious bounce.

Yes he does.

I don't expect all 3 to get eligible. And while I appreciate your insinuation, neither myself nor anyone with Hoop Dreams had anything to do with them transferring. As multiple people have said on here, kids spend a lot of time together on the road with AAU and enjoy playing together.

A likely story. If nothing else, I'd still stop putting other transfers on blast. Maybe they spent a lot of time together on the road and enjoyed playing together too.

I dont understand how his situation is any different than some others that have already been ruled eligible in the 12th.

One difference is that here it isn't an exchange student like one of the kids at Southwestern. Come to think of it, isn't Steve Wright batting quite an average on talented transfers who come from foreign nations or US territories?

Transferring is out of control in Kentucky. Time to change the policy somehow or just rule them all ineligible.

Agree Coach Q! You get 'em.

By the way, could you tell us how you expect Scott County's 3 transfers will do this season? You should be familiar with them because all 3 played with Hoop Dreams some this past summer, didn't they?

I've seen people try and take other team's best players out with a kick to the head all the time. Saw a roundhouse kick used one time in a high school game. League needs to step in and clean that up.

I wonder when Cleveland is going to unleash Johnny. I still think he's better than Hoyer over the season.

Tobler is going to be really good. I've been trying to tell everyone all summer.

You don't think Perry Central will be in the top 8?

Perry Central will be better than Knott Central. Believe that.

The big question is after all the transfers to the 12th region this year will anyone be able to dethrone Wayne Counties home grown kids when it counts?

If Rodney Woods ever started playing the same style as the rest of the 12th region then it would be bad news for the rest of KY because he would crush people.

to the bolded...you mean coaching high school bball in eastern KY?

I mean building up a school that's never won anything to the point that the rest of the teams in the region, including the one that has transfers from New York, Philadelphia, Sheldon Clark, Buckhorn, and Breathitt County over the past few years will let an assistant build a case against them, then yes.

Don't understand the knock on east KY. What other school have former NBA players and college assistants coaching?

HAving good lawyers to help him get out of some of the mess doesn't make him smart either. He is stupid for letting it get this far. To think otherwise is just turning a blind eye. Even you talk about his past and all his connections and how he could see how things are run from a perspective of being on the inside and yet he still got caught which tells me he isn't very smart.

Or maybe everyone is assuming all this stuff that people have on him and don't realize that it might not be as strong as they think.

The way people talk, you'd think Rhodes had some assistant that was ready to jump anyway, holding up a birth certificate and set of dental records while the assistant was filming.

I wouldn't say schools ACROSS the state. It just seems to me that it is one area that is the most egregious at this. Maybe it should be 30 for 30 on Eastern Kentucky Basketball.

Hopkinsville, Scott County, and Trinity have me thinking otherwise.

I agree with you. KCC will 4-peat.

I bet Braxton and Damon have something to say about that.

Golly, you people act like this is Rhodes first rodeo. Well, you are probably severely underestimating him. He played at UK and USC. Think about the reputation of those programs. He coached at some colleges. He played in the NBA and he had an agent. He knows the ins and outs better than people are giving him credit for. Cordia knows who is against them, it's an assistant at Perry Central and some other people who are no longer there. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but it's like you people think that he's so deep in the game that he can convince college players like Malik Hines or Emmanuel to come to Cordia knowing that he has the experiences of all he's been through but doesn't know how to play the game right? Keep underestimating him if you want but know you don't get to where he's got by being as blatantly stupid as some people are acting like they know him to be. No one is saying he will get off scottfree but he has a good team of lawyers representing him and you can look that up if you don't believe me.

Parking is awful at Hazard.

Never seen the beat. Had their coach for 3 years while all of this was supposedly going on but can't get out of regions and this many people are talking about them still.

Don't look past Perry County Central because they will give them trouble.
