Who’d they get from Betsy Layne?

[pirateforlife]

I know Martin didn’t lose every single player I just meant that they’re best players. Probably their top 4 players are gone. 1 starter returns I’m pretty sure. I’m pretty sure Estridge came off the bench last season for Prestonsburg

[FloydCountySuperstar]

He would have fit better on the hill, don’t see Martin County winning over Paintsville or Johnson Central. Estridge played with us, the kid is electric, all our players played harder around him and says a lot cause we got a couple guys always plays hard. I think Estridge started more games then he came off the bench but according to what we was told him coming off bench at end was reason he was leaving. To me the two most important players looking to transfer was Estridge and Ethan Cole with Jackson Keene at 3, don’t know if anyone could impact a game like Estridge, he could have won Region on the hill but don’t know why Martin County is even in the conversation because Paintsville and JC will romp Martin County. We wish him the best but Martin County will be way down next season he’ll have no help. Now let’s hope we get Chris

I don’t know if Martin county can beat Paintsville or JC but they should still be top 5 in the region.

Spriggs isn't going nowhere.

Didn't you say wherever he goes will be a favorite to win region a few posts back?

I would venture to say Martin County was a threat before they added him and even more so now, JJ will have them ready to play come next season just like always.

[FloydCountySuperstar]

I hope so for the player, he’s an outstanding kid but on paper I’d have the 3rd in their District. What’s your opinion on them? Do you think he’s enough to over the two Paintsville Schools? Pay attention to the Bobcats, we got one coming next week

I doubt anyone is going there. I keep reading on here that they are, but it never happens. The Bobcats should concentrate on keeping Allen. He will help them if the coach would stop trying to run him off, which happened twice last year. He already ran off Brayden Hall, who would have been a big contributor. Collins heading to JC is a red flag. I'm not sure why any kid would want to go into that environment, since the ones there don't stay.
I keep seeing that people are saying JC & Paintsville. JC finished 1 game over .500 and Paintsville 7 games under .500. They are young and will get better, but they are still young. Maynard at MC may be the best player in their district. 
Pikeville has plenty of talent, but most of it hasn't played much. PC probably has most talent of all teams and most likely has the regional POY in Stewart. Throw in Slone, Hall and the rest of the soon the be sophomores that finished as state runners up when they were in 8th grade, and you have a possible regional champ. Floyd Central has a top PG and SG, but will need lots of more help. Prestonsburg has experience, but lost a big contributor to MC and HC concerns. It's crazy times, and its still not even May yet.

[BlackcatAlum]

Didn't know Jaxon Estridge personally, but from afar he always seemed respectful and seems like a good kid.

I wish him nothing but success.

[YouKnowNot]

Word around the region is that Betsy Layne is very active in the transfer portal.
Tried to get Estridge from Prestonsburg, but he chose Martin County. Spriggs from Floyd Central, offering his dad an assistant job. Walker Russell from Magoffin. Names I’ve heard thus far.

[Sportscritic79]

What’s wrong with recruiting?
No hiding it, BL needs few kids!

Spriggs comes and that puts Parsons at 2nd/3rd best player and Pente as the 3rd option, that won’t go over well in Bobcat land. If Russell comes, that pushes Allen to the bench, that too won’t go over well in Bobcat land.

[FloydCountySuperstar]

We will be alright with what we got, if Spriggs comes he will be welcome with open arms. I don’t think Russell is an option, he seems to be pretty close to Estridge, if he goes anywhere I’m afraid he’ll go with Estridge to Martin County. Still don’t count us out getting a big in 2 weeks, then if we get Spriggs we will win Region this year

[RTruth]

This is the most out of pocket thread with the craziest posters.

[Thomas Nairn]

Not completely sure on everyone but hearing a lot of names moving, Keene is a definite to Pikeville, Shelby Valley already lost three 8th  graders well I seen somewhere the Wallace kid left then the other two hearing to Pikeville. Pike Central will probably lose one and gain one. Heard Floyd Central lost a key future piece haven’t confirmed tho, Prestonsburg could lose up to five could see four starters that started at some point leaving if  changes aren’t made I was told, I think three forsure and we get one of them, we will lose one possibly 2 on the hill, JV players that would have helped us if they would have stuck around. Hearing JC will get two, the Martin County already got a nice football player not sure if he plays basketball. One of there coaches told me they are hearing a few players coming for Basketball. What are you guys hearing in Belfry?

The Prestonsburg part is so FUNNY.  It's a shame that you hate Prestonsburg so bad that you keep spreading rumors from your source or sources and all it does is hurt kids.

Wish Jaxon the best as do his friends and teammates.

I heard Stewart wants to leave central.

[THOMCAT]

Walker Russell's moms Facebook page says he will not leave Magoffin County.

[GeraldDaLoved]

I heard Stewart wants to leave central.

I haven't heard that one. His family is on the coaching staff I believe & his brother is starting QB, I doubt either will go anywhere. But you never know these days.

He’s been everywhere, I have people asking him and that’s what he tells them. I wonder what schools he’s considering

[RTruth]

There will be new faces in new places as well as old faces in new places

[FloydCountySuperstar]

I know Stewart family pretty well, there isn’t a chance they leave Pike Central

It’s not about “option” it’s about winning. If they are worried about what option they are then they probably need to move on down the road.

whats going to happen in 26 when we consolidate again?

Who is consolidating?

[Thatoneguy115]

I heard Stewart to pikeville is the move

[TheDick's-n-Karl's]

Was told by a reliable source that Collins enrolled at JC.

You might need a new source then lol

[YouKnowNot]

Collins, if he does go, will be after 8th grade graduation I would assume.
