Who was the genius that came up with the idea of creating an uneven playing field by allowing one team to recruit over a broad area of talent while restricting all the other teams to stringent recruiting rules. Then call it fair sportsman ‘ship?

20 years & 270 lbs ago (sorry Mike) there was Michael Dabney. It is ashame they didn’t have digital cameras then.  If they did this whole who was the best argument would be over fast.  Just my opinion.  

The kid from Brazosport: Chris Rossow.

Miller is playing inspired basketball.

No mention that Faith Family is moved ups to 5A?

I was @ work once, processing driver licenses etc.  This tall skinny kid, maybe 6'2" or so was my next customer.  He was changing his address from Bridge City to somewhere in Houston.  I asked him if he played basketball for Bridge City. He said no.  I was able to get  out of him that he was going to school at UH or Rice majoring in architecture.  I stopped asking questions after that.  Playing B ball is not the cake. If a student works it just right it is at best just the icing on the cake.  

Botley hotter than Summer 2023 shooting tonight. 
#12 for Jasper is pretty decent. 

There's much more to life than the outcome of the Silsbee basketball season.

Mere freshman don’t walk in the door and start for Duncanville.  Those are probably some of the best freshman in the state or country.

Jordan Adams is close to filing for social security.  Let it go.  It ain’t that deep.

I discuss this all the time on the side.  I don’t want to call out and embarrass a school boy athlete. He might snap out of it. 
I saw Carmelo Anthony play in a showcase game years ago.  I didn’t think he was that good. The next season he led Syracuse to an ncaa championship.  That shows how much I know.  I still,say these kids Need math, reading & study skills. Everybody is not going to make it big playing basketball.

If a young guy can't taking orders from a basketball coach he is not going to make it anywhere. Nobody will give you a job. The military won't take you.  You can try and live dirty but they will unlike you very fast.

Real basketball coaches, the smart ones, avoid playing potential playoff opponents as much as possible during the regular season. They don’t want playoff opponents to be too familiar with their way of doing things.   Silsbee doesn’t play Yates, or BT Washington during the regular season. You’re not going to see a game like that until the playoffs.
Also it is not all about basketball, ostensibly anyway.  We’re talking about high school student athletes.  A smart good ISD AD or coach understands that.  So does the UIL. Remember them?  So I say kick back & enjoy the games.  The real high school basketball administrators got it under control.

I don’t understand the point. Nobody here makes the BU schedule. Beating an irrelevant horse to make what point? BU has been to 3 state championships in a row. I think the man knows what he is doing. BU plays a soft pre-district schedule this year….. and? 3 state title games in a row, I’m sure Coach Green doesn’t care at all what the message board and middle school coaches think about his scheduling.

Faith Family recruits 

I know he’s not the star of that team but I really really like watching #15 play for the tigers I believe his name is Botley man that kid plays with high energy and is the driving force for that team 

Some haven't forgotten the obvious: BU head coach Green is from Silsbee.  He knows that level of basketball because he played at that level. Silsbee coach Sigler was his coach, and his mentor.  They are probably good friends.  Who wants to be riding in a bus for long stretches of time and miles to play a so called more worthy opponent on a cold Tuesday evening, when you can get a good run from a team 20 miles away.  Arm chair keyboard warrior 'coaches' are good at cashing checks in their minds.

Thank you!  Budget, money etc., factors into a public schools schedule big time.

One of these seasons LaGrange is going to rise up. Not this season though.

I say this all the time in private. I don't post it here cause I don't want to be critical or hurt feelings. But yes, Dre is the dog on this team, and has been since the class of '24 started playing varsity, as freshman.  If he plays this year they will rally behind him and maybe make it to regional, maybe even win it.   If he doesn't play they may bow out of the playoffs early.  IJS.

Glenn Bishop who plays for Stafford, I hear he is good.  I would lie and say he is a cousin, being my last name is Bishop as well.  Far as I know we are not related.

I am just now seeing this. I was always arguing on this board. So I left.  Hagar and I always butted heads.  We did agree on some sports takes.  It wasn't personal.  I hate to hear he is gone, and also his wife.  Condolences to his family and friends.
