Who won the Big Sandy and Ozen game?

Nah...not JV....Varsity....
I want to see him against the Houston and Dallas schools in the playoffs
You will get that chance next year to see that. I don't believe you will see it this year but the kids will get a good education, which is why they came here to begin with right?
-
Also it not about basketball, there in a much better situation now.
-
Yes I agree! They should play all the JV basketball they want this year. It will work out for them. There going to get there looks from summer ball anyway.
-
I understand that but how was one made aware of there situation? Was there guardian in Atlanta friends or related to there now new guardian?
-
Question, why didn't the "guardian" in Atlanta not enroll them in a local school in that area when the other school closed?
Just what was the situation that led them across a few states to go to school other than the school in Atlanta closing?
^ This... Can someone answer this question. I'm curious to know what happened to the kids guardian in Atlanta. Is it that easy to switch guardians?
-
I heard Nederland was 3 and 0 Central was 2 and 1 Silsbee was 2 and 1 and haven't got word on Ozen

Actually the TAPPS rules that Kelly follows are similar to UIL. He was coming to Kelly because that's where his guardian wanted him. His guardian has a kid at Kelly. We couldn't get the 7'3" kid in because Kelly starts school 2 weeks before the BISD. So he was too far behind. As for the Cleveland kid, I don't think he ended up coming to Beaumont at all. Believe he is still in Cleveland. There was talk that he might come to Kelly during the summer but I believe there was going to be in issue with grades.
If his guardian has a son that goes to Kelly, then why couldn't he get him enrolled the first day of school when his son started? I am not a smart person but that doesn't make sense to me. Surely his guardian was well aware of his school being shutdown before school started.
-
oh ok! maybe so.. what's the dill with all these kids wanting to move to Kelly?
-
True Dove! but i would think it would be less red tape for a private school than a public school. I could be wrong!
-
It's that devil aau again. The reason he is here is due to his aau connections. So take it however u want, he moved here for basketball reasons. Not saying central recruited him, because they didn't. But his reason for moving to this area where basketball related.
^ This.. The young man has been in states playing on the AAU Circuit for the last 2 years. This young man will be playing college basketball somewhere regardless if he has to play one year of JV basketball. IMO that's the reason he tried getting into Kelly, there a private school no questions asked. Public school is a different story. I also heard that this kid isn't the only new face at Central. I also heard that they got a 6 foot 5 from Cleveland who was also trying to go the Kelly! Don't know if that is true.
-
The biggest problem in beating Central is that they easily have the 2 best players in the district, before the 7'3" kid was even in the picture.
That's just all the more reason for other teams in the district to abject to the 7' 3" recruit.
-
Good point, but Nederland is returning everyone from last year and adding a couple good JV players. Ozen will also be good. I also think Central will win district but there is a chance Nederland and Ozen could possibly get them or at least make it a game but with the 7'3" recruit pretty much eliminates that chance.
-
I don't know if that's true, but if it is do you blame them? This has recruiting written all over it IMO.
-
Someone said he was 17. Who knows. He looks 20 to me.
-
Correct. They are from Nigeria.
They are originally from Nigera but lived in Atlanta correct? Didn't they go to school there?
-
The kid with no name. Hmmmm...Interesting!
-
There is one other way that a student can live with a guardian and not have to sit out a year of Varsity in UIL . An international student can apply for a Parent Residence Waiver. Everyone is just reading the basic rules of eligibility...need to dig deeper
What's the kids name?
-
Yep!!
I would agree those schools are but he's just a junior. I can see him going to these type caliber of schools his senior year. It appears someone has done a pretty good job hiding him to this point. They will come knocking or perhaps they know of him already but the young man isn't good enough for them yet.
-
Nope, again he could have gone to a high ranked high school and not just a simple public school in Beaumont. I think we should really give this kid and his family more props about his decision.
Central isn't a high ranked basketball school? I believe they are or at least have been the last few years. If the young man lives here with his parents then there is no issue but from what I'm hearing this is not the case. I agree with you on one thing. There are people contacting people. No doubt! This I'm sure took place sometime during summer ball.
-
Small town atmosphere. Other than the chemo plants, its an okay place to live without major traffic problems.
Lets also add to this small town that Central has been ranked in the top 5 in state over the last 3 years. That doesn't hurt a young man decision when trying to find a basketball school.. oops i mean a good educational school.
-
I'm sure there were plenty of good schools in Atlanta he could have chosen to go to for academic reasons.
Silsbee Basketball Schedule, 2015-16

Silsbee better not sleep on HJ. I can see them two splitting this year. The last a checked Silsbee's not the best outside shooting team, so teams who can handle the press with minamal turnovers and pack the paint to force outside shots will have a good shot of beating them.
