As for the popularity of this thread, any time the winningest high school basketball program in the state of Kentucky is caught up in a recruiting scandal, sports fans will take notice. Add to that the fact that there’s a private phone call that was recorded and released on the internet and you’ve got yourself a soap opera situation.

Throw in an arrogant coach at Ashland, a lunatic father from Boyd, a senior transfer from Boyd to Ashland who the lunatic father despises, his boy being touted as the next OJ Mayo, a few other transfers at Ashland from Boyd, Greenup, and the Sudan, a headstrong principal at Ashland, and perhaps the most hypocritical bunch of people at Boyd from administrators to parents across all sports that I’ve ever seen…and yeah, you’ve got yourself 31,000 views.

It’s surprising none of the local media has had the guts to dig into the details of what’s going on. We seem to have an area full of wannabe high school sports reporters in addition to the stalwarts at the Daily Independent. So many clicks and views they could be mining from this story, but rarely a word from any of them. Strange.
