I’m sure Mays will find a spot somewhere.  On the other hand, Bonner (nice guy or not), will have withstand the remaining enforcement and fallout.  The program will be going back to development and x and o coaching instead of marketing and recruiting.  This takes more than just being a nice guy.  I’m not saying he isn’t capable but just being realistic.

I don’t know Bonner’s capabilities?  Is he this type of coach?

Will he be able to develop the existing players assuming some current players are ineligible or move because they have a post season ban?  Can this be answered by someone that is familiar with the program?

He is capable of developing kids. He knows the Ashland kids really well. Since elementary. As for the aftermath of Mays recruitment for the past 3 seasons. He ran some kids off because of it. Some that are on the current roster that are playing football that were considering not playing for obvious reason. Three homegrown kids. They are now without question playing with his removal. As far as khsaa sanctions still to come or a couple that could possibly be deemed ineligible. IDK? We will know next week. Everyone is just wishing they who decide so we all can continue to put this behind us and just deal with whatever is handed down. My question is this! Mays was fired as head coach but goes down the road to whatever high school and get hired and picks up where he left off recruiting. However, if khsaa imposes sanctions on Ashland. Example post season ban or fines or both. He gets to continue coaching high school while Ashland is left to feel the brunt of his wrong doing?? That’s the real question IMO

The fundamental problem with all of this is the unfairness to schools that abide by the rules.  By continuing on, business as usual at Ashland, the program and administration would benefit greatly from this past recruitment.  Don’t prevent these recruited players from playing, but follow the rules and allow play at the school district they originally played in while executing a post season ban allowing them to stay put and still play at Ashland.  The administration that allowed this to go on will not be glorified for continued success based on recruiting.

I agree. Any school who actively recruits is dead wrong and should be punished. The principal per the bylaw is the sole person responsible to oversee the eligibility of the kids who transferred or recruited to their school. Once they get punished or get demoted then you will see an actual change    I don’t think everyone does it. I do think who ever is responsible should be punished.  I don’t like to see innocent kids get punished for adult decisions. I agree. Those kids who maybe deemed ineligible are eligible somewhere. They can go back to where they actually live. I think they can by the way I read the rule
