lol... if the kid can't handle this message board, what is he going do when he goes off to college? If you and him consider this drama, what happens when there's real drama? Have you seen how on some of the ESPN or other sports forums they talk about the kids? Go look up the Alabama football message boards. The Alabama fans were ridiculous to Jalen Hurts and he went 26-2 as a starter. Are you going to go around policing every statement made about that kid? It might be time to add mental toughness to your training regiment. smh...

No one considers it drama, I said possibly with another kid, it COULD turn into drama. Again, just posting some facts. My guys don’t get to associate with my “training regimens” if they’re not mentally tough or if their grades aren’t right.

You do realize the Alabama Football players aren’t allowed to read the paper/message boards right? There’s a reason coaches from all over keep outside noise away from the field/court. I appreciate the advice though man.

Nobody is attacking that kid! Protecting them from what? This basically turned into a discussion about everyone's opinion, IE... message board, on high school basketball transfer rules. You're taking it way too serious!

 So you think the kids don't read these boards? How do you think I found out about the post? I rarely get on here. It can cause unnecessary drama and could be problematic if you're talking about the wrong kid. Kasen is a very mature one though, so it's not going to be an issue but someone else it could be. That's why I just laid out the facts, and now I'm going to go about my business.

I for one never though he would leave anyways i knew it was just the Silsbee inducting him into their click “The Wolfpack”. All these kids are closer than some think so sometimes you never know. But it’s just like anything you may hear you discuss it nothing negative was said about the kid so you can elax it ain’t that serious. 

It's not serious, but it's also not accurate. No big deal.

What's sad about it? This is high school sports message board. This is the forum for precisely this! What's sad is the fact that you made membership on a sports message board to complain about the information on that particular sports message board. smh...

Unless you provide facts, people should stay away from commenting about a 16 year old kid. I didn't create a membership to complain about anything, I posted to make people aware of the misinformation. As someone thats worked with most of the great basketball players from that class since they were 12 years old, you're damn right I'm going to protect them.

I've trained/coached/mentored Kasen Harrison since 2013 . He's staying at Beaumont United. Pretty sad grown men take information posted on social media and make posts like this.

Well, we were assuming that the star players will return to play.  You know they'll get playing time.  I would've thought at least Harrison and Oliver would suit up for United.

And I honestly didn't know Harrison could dunk...

Oh yeah, literally happened overnight seemed like. He should throwing down some windmills soon, not kidding. I’m not saying these kids won’t stay or who will be there and who won’t but I talk to a lot of these parents at least 2020 parents and not many of them are thrilled at all about United. I imagine a lot will end up staying but some may go to WB or even Legacy.

Well, I think only McCain and Adams will be the only ones dunking.  Lol.  I've never seen Oliver, Harrison, or Bush dunk.  

I coach/train Harrison. Went to most of his games. He had a dunk vs Livingston and the Ozen game at their place. I wouldn't be so quick to say which kids will be at United. I know of several that won't be playing there next year.

Great kid who has made major strides with his attitude since I last coached him. Very cool to see.

Very below average team without Holifield

I'm just curious why are some of y'all hating on Hayden Hefner? It's ok if you are, I'd just like to hear some basketball reason(s) as to why he's over-hyped or average or whatever.

I haven't been a part of this message board for long but some of you are worse than my 15 year old players when it comes to the refs. 

Until I stared coaching 4 years ago, back when I played, the YMBL was a MAJOR deal. Just seems to be different now. I was shocked when I watched the tournament for the first time in about a decade at how much it has digressed. They definitely need to bring all the local powerhouses back, and make it a prime-time tournament(not mostly during the day when everyone works) so the seats will fill up. It didn't matter who was #1 in the local rankings, if you won the YMBL you were the best, period. Just doesn't seem that way anymore.

Thank you. I never understood why the 2 teams that played in the championship always seem to have the most players make all-tournament team. 

Interesting. 

@kingjames I do the same with alot of these guys in Beaumont, so I'm definitely a little biased too. Also coached your son a few times during AAU season, so it's been hard to cheer on both teams when they play a team like Central. He's got a lot of heart, and that will take him a long way.

Any idea on who's on the All Tournament team and MVP?

Any update on Central vs. Kountze??

How did Harrison do?

Is anyone at the Central game?

Was at the game, and coach/have coached a few kids from both schools, so my opinion is unbiased. If West Brook can get Parque and Simon going, they should win on their home floor by 15-20. Ozen definitely deserved to win that game though, no doubt. Once they had a few players buy in, it was game over and West Brook folded tent. Even when they were up by a few, their bench looked like they knew they were fixing to lose. Someone other than Boutte has to step up and lead them in that situation.
