[/quote] What are you suggesting??  :P [/quote] Do you think it is possible that some of those ten might have pulled a Dallas Kimball?

Isn't it amazing that the 10 best players all grow up in a single area?

Since your post above, there has been total silence here for close to 48 hours.  I wonder if that is a record?

[/quote] They need Bosh to beat the teams in the West.. But even if he was healthy, the Heat need an actual center [/quote] My guess is that the Spurs or the Thunder are likely to beat the Eastern Representative.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1225045" timestamp="1337706868"] Hey CoachKfanatic, I happen to know that the HJ coaches ARE of high morals and integrity...Great guys, all of them...I am NOT accusing those guys of recruiting, but am merely giving stevenash as hard of a time as I can!! I KNOW they don't actively recruit kids to HJ..I KNOW this...[b]Sometimes kids WILL show up there[/b]...It happens in all quality programs....You guys on here have a real MOB mentality sometimes!! Geesh! :-\ [/quote] Far less frequently than any other program with which you are familiar.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1225046" timestamp="1337706911"] Recruit SMARTER, not HARDER, huh stevenash?  ;) [/quote] Nope- That your "view" not mine.

Good camp! [/quote] Did anybody attempt to recruit them.  (the truth, and only the truth, shall set you free) [/quote] Are you kidding? Nobody pays any attention to middle schoolers  ;D [/quote] Thank you- your statement renders Dickies initial comment in this thread as worthless

[quote name="CoachKfan" post="1225038" timestamp="1337705821"] And the jealousy continues!!!  HJ BUILDS their program.  If kids transfer there to play basketball, that is on them.  I have had close contact with this program for years and there is no recruiting going on.  Our coaches are fine men with morals and integrity.  I know that is a concept that some on this board can not grasp! [/quote] That's what kills Dickie - HJ builds its program ethically.  They have had one transfer in the last 5 years who had ZERO contact with the coaching staff until he was attending the school.  When those that DV holds in high esteem prove that they are less than credible, he simply resorts to "everyone else does it".

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1224991" timestamp="1337702081"] I know that it happens in Sour lake just as it has in Dallas or Houston....I know that. [/quote] Try and convince yourself that it happens in Sour Lake- No problem-  Your "instincts" aren't nearly as accurate as you believe they are.  What has happened has happened and you simply cant change it.  Perhaps you would like to check the rosters of the Kimball players and the HJ players and compare their  points of origin.  Good luck.

You remind me of this guy who, after we had invaded Iraq, stood up and said that no U.S. troop had penetrated the Iraqi border. [img][Hidden Content]]

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1224981" timestamp="1337701238"] The truth is, parents allow kids to transfer for athletic purposes...EVERYWHERE.... [/quote] The truth is in that article and it has more to do with someone other than the parents.  I know it. You know it.  Everybody else knows it.  You are just unwilling to acknowledge it. The Kimball program has abused things- once again YOU KNOW IT.  Your efforts to say it is ok because "everybody does it" simply won't work.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1224968" timestamp="1337699983"] Of course not...It happens in Sour Lake as well..... ::) 8) [/quote] Try harder D.V.  You know the truth but are never going to admit it.

[quote name="BADSANTA" post="1198679" timestamp="1332007043"] My bad! [/quote] Santa- Sleepy just finished second in the Texas State Fourball tourney played in Lufkin last week.(only because  the winner made a 25 foot putt on final hole)  It always has the top amateurs in the state.  Just wondering if you still wanted to bring your buddy and play him and Lazeek for a few bucks?

Yes

Halftime of all star game- Prudhomme leads all scorers with 18 points and three dunks

[/quote]I think region 3 will go through Huntsville again..... ;D  [/quote] Yes, but will there be any real basketball played?

[quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1222712" timestamp="1337173222"] As the host team, I wonder who they will schedule? A. Orangefield's Little Dribblers ( The Seniors of course) B. The Rest Haven Nursing Home Ballers C.  :-\ ;D ;D ;D [/quote] That is a good guess but I would venture to say that they would not want that sort of test until later in the season.  Of course, it really doesn't matter since you won't be there because you have no interest in anyone who doesn't play "real basketball".

Have they hired a football coach/AD yet?  If not, I would think that would have to happen first.

[/quote] Misconception! The party of: HYPOCRITES 1 : a person who puts on a false appearance of virtue or religion 2 : a person who acts in contradiction to his or her stated beliefs or feelings [/quote] Definition #1-  Would that be similar to somebody making a lot of promises with no intention whatsoever of keeping them? Definition #2- I believe such a contradiction is now defined in the Oval office as "evolving"

Translation= Since my case in basketball is now totally  faulty, I will change the subject to include other sports.

[quote name="Dick Vitale" post="1220622" timestamp="1336691131"] Once again, you have missed it...I am saying that it HAPPENS here in SE Texas, just as you guys say it happens so frequently in Houston, specifically at Yates.  Houston has more KIDS...This is why it seems like its happening on such a larger scale..Yates had TWO transfers last year, and they both played on the JV team....They had another come in the year before, and he came a mid year, also playing 9th grade ball....Thats 3 in a two year span in a city with millions of people...Sour lake has had one third as many in that time frame...I would say its proportionate...Wouldn't you? [/quote] Two things:  I dont believe the numbers you list for yates.  I also think it is a little foolish to compare the last two years when the number is the same for HJ in the last 7.  Please dont try to tell me that it is the same for Yates.
