It’s not a good look for a kid to transfer to so many schools in such a short period of time. Flinchum has now been at at least 5 schools and maybe 6 if he was ever at Breathitt, which I’m not sure about that.
If he wanted development and proven coaching Montgomery County should have been his last stop. I think the coach kind of got after him in one of the scrimmage’s encouraging him to get after it a little more on defense and after that day he never returned. I’m not sure he would have started for the Indians anyway since they return most of their starters from last season and have another transfer from Mason County as well, but in my opinion he would have improved as a player there.
Now that he’s moving around again I think the logical place for him is in his home county with the Bobcats. He’s gone full circle since middle school so might as well return to his home county. Breathitt would be pretty good with him, Sperry, the 6’6 Gross kid and Stallard.

I don’t think kids realize what it takes to play at the next level. Do they not watch college basketball or listen to Coach’s interviews ? They want hard nosed coachable kids that plays defense & shares the ball. These players that run up and down the floor shooting their arms off and not playing a lick of defense is in for a rude awakening.

Flinchum definitely needs to buy into a program somewhere. The kid is a really good shooter but the rest of his game needs major work. He needs to improve on strength , speed & agility. He needs improvement on ball handling & moves to the basket. He needs to improve on defense and rebounding.
