I also agree with the Professor. Money racket is all it is.

Its not just the Kba. If your son or daughter had played in the Lebron tournament or any other big tournament it's all the same.

Its all about the money. AAU, OFFICIALS, KBA all could care less. More kids & teams + games = more money.

Thorton could possibly be returning for his senior year!

Why would he take a chance on injury.

Heard Troy Lee Thomas was steeping down @ Bath Co.

I have no beef w/Manimal or any other team. I was giving my thoughts on picking up a player that already has been playing for weeks now. One AAU coach told me one time players come & player go and is a true statement, but coaches keep trying to recruit at early ages instead of taking the players they already have and making them better. It happens in High School to. They are not many player like Mr. Goodin in the state and he will almost certainly make a difference in Team Manimal winning. Is C. Miller playing this weekend with Manimal?

All you never said in your post was that Q. Goodin was playing w/Team Manimal....

Is this kid going to be sitting on the bench? We can be assured Mr. Goodin will get 30+ min if needed. I think this will take someone spot.

What about that Kids spot you take away because you bring in a STUD? That's a bigger deal. I love this game as much as the next. Hoop Dreams should've played in the State. Must not be that big of a deal to them.

Ky AAU State is better than West Virginia and not near as good as Indiana AAU state. I really dont see it as that big of a deal. The bigger deal would be adding some young stud from another AAU team just to play in a tournament that all you get is a 2 1/2" fake gold metal. But in the end you are saying to those kids & there parents that you are not good enough to compete. Why isnt this young man team playing in the Ky AAU state.

I think you are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. I think you have a pretty good knowledge of the game.

Most would take top 100 player. Hoping someday to reap the benfits later. This is whats wrong with AAU! Sportsmanic I truely repect you for your reply.

Didnt Morgan have another player last year that was suppose to be a stud and was ruled academically ineligible? Did he graduate?

It will be harder to win in the 10th vs the 16th. Good Luck, And big shoe's to fill.

The 7th grade class is pretty good. Not alot of size, but kids can play.

Surely you are just kidding!

One of the classiest coaches I know. Wish him the best.

That what the schools get. Can't imagine what KHSAA is getting. All about the money. What about Ky Duke Wisconsin & Michigan St. with the final 4. Pay those kids. The university are making so much money.

I just looked at those reports. WOW!!!!!!

His name has been mentioned. I even think they spoke with him early March.

My kids have been in the band and on the academic team and i have never paid to enter either. So i would think that money is the differnece why the KHSAA dont care about recruiting for the band or academic team. When they start making money from it the WILL regulate it.

How many of these gyms are full for a basketball game vs academic meet or band concert?

It called recruiting. KHSAA frowns on this kind of behavior, buy a house sell your old one and its done. Or there could be a rule like Ohio were you are allowed to transfer one time while in high school.
