HF dodged a bullet at home with this one 

Certain parents will probably still be looking for an apology from the coach…

What is SH guard from Tomball Concordia, Pierce Hellums, how is he doing these days?

I don’t think he’s with the team anymore.

I’m no mathematician. But I think if you took the smallest 5A (1230 students per this graphic from the UIL) and combined it with another small 5A. You would have at least 2460 kids.. which appears to be above the 2220 threshold for 6A schools. 

Perhaps the simplest and most logical explanation is that not all of those students are currently enrolled at United.

I get how things may "look" in regards to ALLEGED recruiting, but does anyone have 1st hand knowledge of how this went about?  Proof?  If not, then this is slander and some good ole talking out your @$$.   When Yates is down, there is no shortage of people ready to give a punch.  Now when they are up its allegations and lies.  Does any grown men on here believe that these kids, lets not forget they are kids, just wanted to play at that school.  Its the hottest basketball team in the city in any class.  If I play basketball, want to still be playing in March, like the system, dont you think Yates would be on your list?  If your child was playing would you not think about them attending to play for a well known coach and fast paced system?  Cant you see that as a possibility.  IF you were at a Charter school and shading dealings were going on or you dont know the deal with the coach.  Would you tell your child to stick it out? Or would you think about another program?  Possible right?  No matter what you say.  YATES is legendary to a lot of people in Houston.  A lot of kids for decades have wanted to attend Yates, not for grades or education per se but because of the energy and community following and because where its located.  So for us we are happy that its becoming the school of choice again.  A lot of families moved away from the inner city,  yes Yates is the inner city, and grew up in Pearland, Alvin, Manvel, Sugarland etc... A lot of these families would have been at any HISD school and who knows.  But now all those schools are 4A now... You all know how it works.  As many enemies as Yates have dont you think UIL would do something if it was happening?  Recruiting is Dallas, The stories are out.  Kids sleeping in the garage at your girlfriends house.  AD and Coach are brothers.  Thats recruiting.  Where is Yates stories?  Proof?  

I dont know what yall talking about.  Going to state is hard and yall are coming up with ways to make it easy.  Talk about what are you teaching your kids.  And also, no way to compare the 4th largest city in the nation to the golden triangle.  My solution, combine HJ and Silsbee and be Hardin-Silsbee-Stark.  Or get out of the UIL and just play for the Golden Triangle league championship.  Because playing for state seems to hard for yall when you lose.  

Let me say this about the HJ coach thing.  Its a basketball game, fans are going to be fans.  Nothing was said derogatory or racists.  Hell I dont even like them talking and Im sitting by them but I know what happens at a basketball game.   He was mad been mad and now he needed an outlet for his frustrations.  But his comment was more about recruiting than about his son... 

This sounds like an admission that the transfers are for athletic purposes— to play basketball.  As you say, it’s “not for grades or education”.   Isnt this really the question here?

Am hearing that at least two of the four next year will be 7 footers.   They do a better job than our armed forces.

That's logical.  With the skills learned in the communications program, they are effectively able to communicate the benefits of the program to the next generation.  It's self-perpetuating.

They tried to make adjustments, but their communications program was not good enough to induce 4  6'8" players to move in to the HJ district.

Maybe the four new 6-8 kids they get next year to replace these guys won’t be quite as talented.

You can ask anyone inside that program they don't take moral victories. They will have a game plan and put the best foot forward with the expectation of moving on to lumberton or la marque. They have played toe to toe with some really good players over the summer and throughout the high school season. Only been blown out one time with a really difficult schedule and that was to Westbrook who's style matches up really well with HJ. Not saying they will win, but I believe there will be a (metaphorical) fight. 

If HJ had trouble with West Brook, they might ought to make some changes before showing up for Yates.  Perhaps they already have.

Anybody know how landen king did for atascocita 

He played, not sure how many minutes.  I honestly can’t say how he did but he didn’t really seem to be a big part of what they were doing, at least on offense.  They looked to their guards for scoring.  

They tried to make a run but couldn’t quite get there.  50-38 with a minute left.  

41-28 Atascocita

6:35 left in 4th

Dunk count 3-1 BU

Biggest surprise from this game is that Sterling has someone who can dunk.

Lol no one has a problem with them getting scholarships...the problem is when people give them more credit than they deserve and they don’t show it against the superior comp. 

Bro y’all are now on Day 4 of taking personal shots at a high school kid.  If it hasn’t made you feel any better about yourself by now, it probably just isn’t going to happen for you.  

West Brook 65

Sterling 47

Sounds like you’ve got some in mind. Get us started!

Is he returning next year?
