There has been rumors spreading that a recruiting clinic for 14th region coaches is in the works. It is to help the lowly schools that try to compete with homegrown talent developed through their feeder programs, get into the 21st Century. Developing talent is a thing of the past. Recruiting is all the rave. A RUMORED tentative line-up has been discussed, but nothing is set in stone. It is suppose to cover both boys and girls basketball coaches.

(All speakers listed are just rumored, nothing factual)

On the Boys Side:

Keynote Speaker: John Calipari discussing recruiting at the collegiate level in Big Blue Nation and fighting to keep them off probation.

Other possible speakers and their topics:

Roderick Rhodes: How to get kids from the hoods to the backwoods.

Allan Hatcher: How recruiting can be a father/son bonding experience.

Randy Napier: How to take your neighbors talent when your feeder programs has gone to the dogs.

It is rumored that a lifetime achievement award is being presented to Hazard High School. It is titled "Sixty years of successful recruiting and still going strong".


It is rumored that training sessions will include such topics as:

1. How to skirt KHSAA rules through deception and/or political connections.

2. How to get your picture made with the big hunk, Julian Tackett.

3. Job Search - Using and finding jobs for possible recruits parents.

4. Foreign Exchange - How to establish a foreign exchange program overnight.

5. F to an A - How to turn a failing student into an honor student in 24 hours.

6. Physical Education Nation - Rumored that unnamed Representatives from the Breathitt County school district will discuss how you can have poor athletes attend 5 to 6 PE classes a day and keep their GPA up and graduate. This is tentative depending if school officials can be released from house arrest.

Ok ONB, I will first of all give you credit, this post is hilarious...on the other hand though, pot meet kettle once again! Isn't it quite convenient that you can point the finger at all these other schools, but just so happen to forget to mention YOUR lovely KCC Patriots??? Let's not forget all those JBS kids that fell outta the sky to KCC's program...I am pretty sure they none came from Knott County's feeder program, ok so I am positive they didn't,lol. Ohh, let me guess it was due to all that "turmoil" at JBS...yeah yeah call it whatever you want, it's no different. But, on a more personal note with you...how bout that Justice kid........well we won't even go there will we??

Look, I really don't care who plays where...I am just excited to watch some competitive basketball. My overall point is just to show everyone that it happens at EVERY school. I don't really care if it is within the same county, region or whatever, it's ALL THE SAME! However, I do find it funny that PCC was the LAST one to receive a new kid on the roster, yet they are the ones getting most of the heat on here. I am sure Coach Hatcher just thought that the first rule for the 2011-2012 season was you had to add a new kid to your roster, I mean what else was he supposed to think,lol...everyone else was doing it.
