Kingwood park caused Yates fits last year . [/quote]KP matched well with Yates for awhile. KP had kids who could shoot the darn thing. [/quote] Careful there Dove- you are sort of admitting that skills can offset athleticism

[/quote] Oh I agree, but on the road to Austin during playoffs, I don't think so. They will not go undefeated this year. [/quote] Translation- Yates may lose to a 5-a school or some well known prep school, but when it comes to 3-a competition , they will walk through without any competition.  Am I making the proper interpretation of your comments, Dove?

[quote name="85' HUSKER" post="1310449" timestamp="1351275472"] Maybe they just don't want anyone to know where their[s] recruits [/s] transfers are from. Perhaps it's Less suspicion that way.  ;D [/quote] Wait a minute.  Haven't you heard?  Yates not only complies 100% with the rules but also with the intent of the rules.  You and I are simply small town boys who are jealous of their ethical success.

NO, the guy running the website for Yates.  If he doesnt know which year it is, he has problems.  If he doesnt know the difference between Jersey Village and New Jersey, he has bigger problems.  No surprise though because everything that happens at the Yates basketball program has lots of unaswered questions.  I would never accuse an SMRJ enthusiast of being incompetent.

One more question:  Since it might be last years roster or this years roster, does anyone have any curiosity about a player on the team having a hometown of somewhere in New Jersey?

Now that we have established there are grumpy old men, can we also establish that, if the Yates website does not have the correct player list, that someone operating the website is not properly doing their job?  Or are you unwilling to ever acknowledge that something done at Yates might be wrong?

[quote name="85' HUSKER" post="1310217" timestamp="1351260552"] Man, with so much emphasis and attention to their BB program you would think they could at least get the roster correct.  :o [/quote] Excellent observation.

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1310046" timestamp="1351223946"] Like I said earlier today, more spin to your wrong info. [/quote] It's not "my info".  In case you havent noticed, it came from a website that I assume is very likely administered by Yates.  If the info is wrong, it simply suggests that those responsible for the website are highly incompetent.

Kenya Jackson Hakim Davis Jarvis Hickey Jonah Jackson Maurice Ellis Clyde Santee Chris Wells These players were seniors last year. I have a roster from there playoff game against Wheatley and the state tourney program with their roster and it has these guys as seniors. [/quote] Well, then perhaps it is last years roster.  The only thing I am certain of is that either the site I provided is wrong or some incorrect data was posted on the state tourney program.  Since it involves Yates, neither would surprise me.

This says it is the 2012-2013 roster [Hidden Content]

Not so sure it was incomplete.  I think one just simply needed to read along further down.

Let me do some more digging.  I have a feeling that the hometown column might even be more interesting for this year.

additional notes of interest on the Yates team.  I personally am attracted to the "hometown" column.   number player pos ht hometown         yr 24 Anderson, Joseph G 6' 1" Houston 2015 2 Davis, Hakim 6' 2" New Jersey 21 Dotson, Damyean F 6' 5" Houston       2012 15 Ellis, Maurice 6' 7" 25 Funchess, David 6' 4" 3 Hickey, Jarvis 6' 1" Houston 11 Jackson, Jonah 6' 0" 0 Jackson, Kenya 5' 10" 1 Lewis, Damion "DJ"      6' 0" 23 Martin, Darrion SG 5' 11" Houston     2013 32 Santee, Clyde 12 Swift, Melvin 6' 7" 5 Washington, JC 6' 5" 33 Wells, Chris       6' 7"

From the minutes of the meeting where the rules were determined: Proposed Amendment to the University Interscholastic League Constitution and Contest Rules A. Brief Explanation of Proposed Amendment This amendment would allow schools to substitute tournaments for games in their overall season limits for team sports. B. Factual and Policy Justifications Schools  already have the ability to substitute games for tournaments. This amendment would provide schools additional flexibility in determining their season schedules. C. Proposed Amendment Section 1220 (b) (4), Section 1230 (c) (6), Section 1270 (d) (5), Section 1280 (c) (4), and Section 1330 (c) (4) of the UIL Constitution and Contest Rules would be amended as follows effective August 1, 2013, pending approval by the Commissioner of Education: Section 1220: BASEBALL PLAN (b) NUMBER OF GAMES, TOURNAMENTS AND SITES. (4) Substituting Games for Tournaments. Three games may be substituted in place of a tournament. A TOURNAMENT MAY BE SUBSTITUTED IN PLACE OF THREE GAMES. SCHOOLS CAN ONLY UTILIZE THIS EXCEPTION TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE ADDITIONAL TOURNAMENT. If a team or student does not play in any invitational tournaments, a total of 26 games may be played. Section 1230 BASKETBALL PLAN (c) NUMBER OF GAMES, TOURNAMENTS AND SITES.8     Athletics 7b (6) Substituting Games for Tournaments. Two games may be substituted in place of a tournament. A TOURNAMENT MAY BE SUBSTITUTED IN PLACE OF TWO GAMES.  SCHOOLS CAN ONLY UTILIZE THIS EXCEPTION TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE ADDITIONAL TOURNAMENT. If a team or student does not play in any invitational tournaments, six additional games (total of 27) may be played.

My source tells me that his superintendent is on the legislative council that approved the new ruling.  My source also tells me that his interpretation of the rules was verbally communicated to him by an official of the UIL.  Perhaps my source and his superintendent are incorrect or perhaps the rules are not listed in their entirety.  Thats the only two possibilities I can come up with.

[quote name="BEARCAT" post="1309511" timestamp="1351192761"] I didn't see that second option in the rules just voted on. Where did you see the second option because I agree schools would choose that option. [/quote] I didnt personally read it but i have a relative who is in the coaching business and that is what he told me.
