A few hundred in a community of over 40,000. For every 1 person you find wanting him back I can guarantee you there are 4 glad to see him gone. There was no mistake made. Maybe he was setup but doesn't change the fact he did what he is accused of.

Aside from the fact that he is gone is anyone concerned that taping someone without their knowledge is illegal?

Sorry it took so long to answer.

 

Offense is where the questions lie for this 2017 Fern Creek team. 5 starters return but must replace Kyree Hawkins and Devon Blincoe at RB, both were fast bruising runners who could bust thru the hole then outrace you to the endzone. In addition the Creek must replace 3 yr starting QB Shamar Bryant.

We have 2 junior QB's and a Sophomore. JR Rayshawn Nelson 5-9 148 has probably played the best of the three in 7 on 7 competition is smaller but fearless and makes good decisions has good arm strength. JR Isaiah Hester 6-1 211 is a big strong kid with a strong arm, and a great tough runner with the ball as well. 7 on 7 doesn't show Hester's full game because he is a big strong kid, tough to take down and a good runner and can break arm tackles and create time in the pocket. SO Jum Randella 5-11 205 joined the freshmen team last year a few weeks into the season and is a good young QB, has a good arm.

 

I have no idea how the QB battle will shake out, several possible options include starting Nelson at QB as and playing Hester at RB, could start Hester opting for the more physical QB and play Nelson as a slot WR. Or in a twist Randella stepping up to win the battle and playing Hester at RB and Nelson at WR. A Wildcat formation with 2-3 of those guys on the field at the same time would be an interesting wrinkle for the offense.

 

In addition to Hester possibly at RB, SO Anthony Teague 5-8 160, and SO VeSean Green 5-10 160 are two hard running guys with the quickness to evade tackles. JR Dylan Dunbar 6-1, 211 is a big bruising runner with surprising quickness. He was behind Hawkins and a Blincoe last year but had some big time plays including some long TD's in the playoffs.

 

3 starting offensive linemen return and the line is starting to come together well. We have had a smaller O line for years but this year are starting to get bigger and have some promising Juniors and Sophomores with good size that are stepping up and earning starting positions.

 

At WR Quartus Hearn 6-4 174 Was the leading WR last year in yards and TDs (5). He plays well as the big stretch the field receiver, and complimenting him are a good mix of guys. Melvin Blakey 5-11 145, William Neal 5-11 165, Blake Weihe 5-11 145. In addition Damon Durrah 5-10 170 ( offered by Morehead State and KWC ) will play more this year at WR after limited offensive reps last year. Durrah is an explosive athlete mainly as a CB that can set the edge and be physical stopping the run or drop back and break up passes and intercept the ball. He can be the quick footed slot guy or stretch the field and returned 1 kickoff and 2 punts for TD's last year and a fumble return for TD.

 

Fern Creek's scrimmage vs PRP will be a good test letting us now early how the offense is progressing as well as having a talented PRP offense to test our defense.

We haven't played PRP since moving down to 5A 2 years ago.

 

Fern Creek's 5 non league games has some good games that should answer any questions about the team. Fern Creek should be a heavy favorite vs Seneca, but then faces Manual followed by Central. Next comes Butler, followed by what should be a good game vs a DeSales. The record coming out of the non- district game could be as bad as 0-5 or perhaps as good as 5-0 and by then most questions will be answered.

The head coach is an offense guy so he will probably get something pieced together, no? The defense may have a lot back but my question is they are now going into year 2 after losing the old DC who was in my opinion excellent, will he be missed more as 2 classes of his players have now graduated?

Always been interesting coach wins every year but when the job came open in bowling green he applied and couldn't get a interview. Just wondering why he couldnt get a interview in his home town.

BG hired a former division 1 head coach. Why waste Isenbergs time stringing him along?

If you are a balanced team offensively with the intention of throwing more than 10 passes or running option the qb is #1 with RB #2.

If you have to beat running heavy teams then middle linebacker would be very important. If you have to beat a spread your safeties are vital. If its a pass heavy probably a rush end.

Totally offense specific plus what do you have to defend to win the big games.

Was that from stuff under him or was that all from the Nutt regime?

As Houston Nutts lawsuit says, the propaganda and smear worked on your perception. 11 of the 13 violations were under Freeze not Nutt.

Per wbko Bowling Green had about 120 today.

Paintsville is an independent school, I don't think Title IX applies, since they're not federally funded? Would be my guess.

It is absolutely amazing the amount of misinformation in this state on this subject. An independent public school absolutely gets federal funding. Independent isn't private. Independent from Johnson county schools is what it means.

Ryle won the silver consolation bracket over Cleveland TN I believe.

I just have a hard time understanding why he would want to leave a good program like Bowling Green. They're usually loaded with athleticism every year in all sports.

Like I said in one of the threads yesterday HS does not matter to aau people. Winning in hs does not matter. The exposure, the competition, and the so called coaching comes in the summer.

Doing a bit of math here the purples will win the pool they are in unless they fall to the winless team in the next game.

This is true - and the level of competition also becomes increasingly important as the evaluation process moves forward.

 

A reality as I see it is this kid is lined up to get a high-paying job in basketball and academics/community ties become secondary considerations. Over the next 3 years this discussion could have an "over/under" tone on how many high schools/prep schools the kid attends before a) selecting a college or b) entering the NBA draft (depending on status of NBA CBA in 2021).

 

I think the kid will end up at a prep school for his junior/senior seasons.

High school programs are almost irrelevant to these high level aau people. Who you are coached by who you are surrounded by and the level of competition can all be checked off at the aau level. Hs doesn't matter anymore.

What is the legality of OTA in this format, I thought this was shy teams quit going to camp because they couldn't do 11 v 11 activity.

Non contact. Different animals

Word around Bowling Green is he has enrolled at another KHSAA school & is no longer enrolled at BG.

Word on the street is that he is at Adair with his aau coach breeze.

The on in Charlotte associated with Cam Newton is this weekend and has cut into the field. The attendees aren't going to be as deep as years past.

It would help if they would hire a coach and let him meet him.

I'm have a short list.

No hats inside.

No jeans ever.

Have a team logo on you somewhere.

Brentwwod Academy TN

Ensworth TN

and St Francis Desales OH

Are all in the top 100 pre-season and within driving distance of KY teams.

Who would that be?

Saw on facebook where one of the kids of a staff member hurt his knee in 7-7.

What about the basketball players' suspension that led to Harper having to resign?

 

Or the swim team's hazing issues that led to the program being suspended?

 

How about the football players getting suspended / disciplined for beating up a Pike member?

 

Todd has, by and large, done a very good job in his 5 years there, but please don't act as if "he would not allow a single questionable thing to go on"; that is a bar that virtually no AD in America could live up to.

 

Time will tell on Stansbury, but I will tell you this: every national guy I know personally that covers college basketball thinks it is when, and not if, they get busted by the NCAA. That speaks volumes.

Legitimate point, if he has been cheating all this time, why hasn't the NCAA come down on him?

I hear the rumors around town. I've started to wonder myself though, where is the money coming from? The WKU guys around town with big money have been tapped out by the university already in moving to D1 and paying high football coach salaries.

I am going to bet he is teaching at Central.

I think Ashby will be a good match with Engstrand. This sounds like the wing-t just died at JH.
