Honest Abe

Then why are you commenting on this topic?? 🙄 Buddy-Question for ya; Did you participate in HS sports while you attended Lincoln? Memorial? (Not sure which HS you attended)

Wait! Are you serious?? 😂😂😂

Oh wow!! You could possibly be the best debater of all time!!! 🙄

Ok Buddy, try to understand how this works. I’ll go real slow for you.... You made a comment about your build a program, blah, blah, blah...’ I responded with a rebuttal (this is considered debating your statement). Are you with me so far? Good. Next, I would suggest maybe defending your statement. However, your response was ‘crybaby...’ (This would be considered an attempt to undermine my rebuttal). You still with me? so, let’s try this again. Me: Build it and they will come? That is what a college does. They build a program by recruiting HS kids to play for their school and compete against other similar schools. Ok, now it’s your turn: Do you agree that colleges ‘build it’ by recruiting as I stated? Do you think HS teams should be able do the same? It sounds like it from your remarks. I just happen to disagree with said statement. See, no crying, just debating. This has been brought to you by; Lesson 101 in debating. You’re welcome.

And what exactly would you tell the other teams in the Yates 4A district who lose by 60., 70, 80 points?? To work harder in the gym? Those other Houston ISD schools don’t have a chance to win district bc they are overmatched by an all-star team. Yates isn’t a HS b-ball team.

Classic inability to carry on a debate. Detract from the topic, then attempt to belittle your opponent. One usually does this in a debate when one cannot defend his/her position. Thanks for helping me make my point...

Cry a river? I’m not crying a river. I’m participating in a debate. You may want to sit back, read a few statements, and learn something instead of constantly undermining people on this board. It gets old really fast...

You build a college program, and they will come, yes. The UIL is not intended to create ‘Dynasty’ or all-star teams (in any sport).

Salty or simply the truth? Does ANYONE deny that Yates recruits? This isn’t college basketball, it’s high school. The idea is to take the kids in your town and play against the kids in the next town to see who is better. The next level, college, is where you get the best talent from said schools and put them on the same team and then compete. Yates is basically a small college/JUCO team.

They are loaded from top to bottom. 2 D-1 kids. Gonna have to all play really good to beat them.
