I believe he's asking about this season. 

Congrats to Hayden Hefner for the big commit. Nederland to A&M pipeline for all sports just starting with a ex bulldog in the recruiting room there. Talked about this a few months ago.

This pretty much says everything. A player doesn't leave Green or Boutte to play for another coach unless that player wasn't getting any playing time prior.
Promises promises.
I can certainly agree with a parent taking their child out of BISD and moving to HFISD for academic purposes.

Open enrollment doesnt make a kid eligible for UIL activities.  Residency is what determines that.  He should know he’s already being watched closely and if the “t’s” arent crossed and the “i’s” dotted H-F will find themselves in a bind.  A sudden influx of players from Beaumont wont fly in that district.  I hope he knows what kind of mess he’s creating for himself and the district.

I thought transferring schools for athletic purposes was illegal? 🤷‍♂️

Looks like we got off track from the original question so here’s my take on it. Can Silsbee get back to state next year? They lost Adams, McCain, White, Tyler and a couple of more off a great team that didn’t make it to state as seniors so my answer is no. They have a great returning PG but lost to much of the supporting cast to win the region. 

I know of no one of that size but if there is he may equal their athleticism but he won’t equal their basketball ability or other intangibles.  Well maybe I shouldn’t say he won’t but it’s highly unlikely.

Coach Davis is as nice a guy as you will meet and goes above and beyond with his players.   He can be a bit on the shy side with folks he doesn’t know which I suppose can come off a certain way.  But he is the polar opposite of “uppity.”

I think that district will be a little more balanced this year. No clear favorite as of now in IMHO. Still think it will be between HJ and Silsbee but there could be an upset or two. 

I ain’t real sure how ya get “uppity” coaching high school hoops. I do know the HJ coach is as good as there is in southeast Texas making in game adjustments . I still think we’re looking at a real good series this year between Silsbee and HJ for the district crown. WOS always has the athletes to make games close and BC had a good young club to build on. LCM lost a helluva offensive player so they’re going to have to find some scoring to replace him. 

Patrick Ewing and GEORGETOWN just offered Lofton from PA.  I've got him too low.

@BMTSoulja1: remember when I said I had Lofton over Clover few days ago? Still got a whole season to go thru but im sensing something. 

HF hasn’t been winning lately.  That’s the point of bringing Coach Tigee in.  IF the boys listen to him, he’ll give them the opportunity to win.  It may not be the run & gun they like, but I think they’ll like winning.  Will he win for sure?   Heck, anybody’s guess.  But imo, the boys are getting a Coach they’ll like, and learn life-lessons from, and if they don’t have a winning record, I’ll be surprised.   Wish nothing but the best for the HF Basketball Team.

One of my players that’s been with me since I started coaching, Noah Washington, has been involved in a life changing accident. I encourage everyone to donate to help him and his family, no matter if it is $5 or $500. Money should be the last thing that his family has to worry about.

It's about time.

Those guys are more than good enough to be on the list.

I'll give it a shot...
1.  Hayden Hefner (Nederland)
2.  Valentine Catt (Orangefield)
3.  Kenneth Lofton (Memorial)
4.  Kasen Harrison (United)
5.  Braylon Bush (Silsbee)
6.  Jacob Harvey (Huffman)
7.  Earnest Caesar (EC)
8.  Nate Clover (Memorial)
9.  Justin Pleasant (United)
10.  Amaree Abram (Memorial)
Honorable Mention: Tyler Jackson (Nederland), Jaystan Davis (HJ), Jesse Doucette (LCM), Kameron Smith (EC), Brock McClure (Lumberton)
List is probably no good because I have no West Brook on there and probably not enough from United.  This was hard to do.
 
 

That’s a pretty solid list that most college coaches would agree with, based on recruitability at the next levels.   Clover should be moved to 3/4 area but overall impressive list. 

Is Lofton the left handed big man that I know only as "junior"?

Tigee will do great!  I hope for Hamshire Fannett's sake that he stays longer than a year.
