[quote name="no-look" post="1381723" timestamp="1362197852"] Was he a Yates player?    ;D [/quote] The age cutoff at Yates is 21 because the school simply is not large enough to accommodate so many people wanting to excel in communications.

[/quote] "If you build they will follow." I repeat, Yates does not need to recruit. Those kids want to attend the school. [/quote] Say it however you wish.  They acquire their players in a manner that is different from everyone with which they compete.  Playing field obviously not level.  No words or rationale will change that.  I believe the original intent behind high school competition was based upon where one lived as opposed to where one wanted to play.

Sure Dove- and OJ was innocent

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1381311" timestamp="1362148052"] UIL says the kids are legal. [/quote] Yep-  Ever hear of something that is technically legal but violates "the spirit/intent" of the law?

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1381073" timestamp="1362091330"] Some folks just do not know how to take a [s]beatdown[/s], errr, I mean a loss.... ::) ::) [/quote] You are right.  And there are others who skirt around the rules in order to be victorious.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1380660" timestamp="1362001428"] If Silsbee plays Yates 10 times, Silsbee loses all 10...Now AAW you said yourself that you would "rather not" ever play them again, right? Now in my book, that is the DEFINITION of NO CHANCE at winning against them....No they are not the team they were a few years ago, which would have been WORSE, but they are still just better...at this point.  Do not know what the future teams may bring, but for now, there is NO CHANCE. ;) [/quote] You would have said the exact same thing about Minnesota playing against Indiana and you know how that turned out.

[quote name="5 on 5" post="1381023" timestamp="1362085050"] He is a future communication major, just like the 7'4 boy from another country. [/quote] No doubt about it.  When he starts his "career" there, a few on this board will claim he is "home grown"

[quote name="Yeoj" post="1381015" timestamp="1362084079"] [quote author=Honest Abe link=topic=109855.msg1381006#msg1381006 date=1362083334] If he was 'average', then why did teams double/triple team him? [/quote] I said a player from Central made him look average. In three games against the Jags he looked anything but "MVP" like. Not knocking the kid or his game. I saw him in three games and he wasn't able to lead his team to victory in any of those. He looked really average in those games I saw. Including one where E'torrian dominated him in the post down the stretch to secure the win for Central. You know like MVPs do! [/quote] Just think, if you saw him in three games, you really missed a bunch of other games in which he probably did well.

Give it up.  the collective wisdom/knowledge of the coaches in the district far exceeds that of any single wanna be on this board.  Congrats to Mr. Weisbrod for an obviously well deserved award.

Ok- So now you are changing it from "most rings" to" most rings in recent years"?  Congrats, Robert Horry, as the greatest modern day player.  Other kudos to Will Perdue for being as good as Shaq.
