No never mentioned nothing about Russell recruiting. If you read my 3 post I never mentioned anything about Russell doing anything. I said that besides this with the kid from Boyd Co. that they had also talked to two kids from Russell about possibly coming to Ashland as well. Along with this they have a kid who is supposed to be a pretty good player coming from New Jersey and have even given the father an assistant coaching position at Ashland. That is all I have said.

Sorry I misunderstood you 16bball fan.

Yes, there is no reason bring up recruiting in a post because all you have at Russell is accusations and nothing of substance such as a damning phone recording.  If they have such evidence of recruiting then they should be punished very harshly at any school.  Again, if the rules change and it becomes legal, then great, but until then KHSAA has to distribute very harsh punishments (i.e. ban coaches from school or post season team play for multiple seasons) to eliminate blatant recruiting efforts or we will have some schools go all in on recruitment (because punishment is irrelevant) while others try to abide by rules.  This tips the scales an extreme bit between schools.  Administrations that turn a blind eye should be punished as well.
