Ashland has won six consecutive 16th regional titles, and they have played darn well once they got to the Sweet 16. The first one they won their opening game over Owensboro, and I might add their first year coach won with the players that was already at Ashland when he got there….no transfers.
Success breeds success and they have continued to win titles since. They have been to the semifinals another time. They were undefeated at 33-0 the Covid year. And lest anyone doesn’t remember the Tomcats gave eventual state champion Lyon County the scare of their lives in the first round when Lyon overcame a 6 point deficit in the final minutes to pull out a narrow victory.
Ashland has a solid program. They have tradition and they work hard to keep their program competitive. Players and parents that are not satisfied with wherever they are and are looking for a better opportunity like programs like Ashland has built with such a rich tradition over the decades.
Ashland doesn’t have to “recruit”. Their program and school’s success recruits for itself.

I think you are confused. Ashland only has a couple of kids who live in Ashland and have been developed in their program.  The only tradition or reputation they have is that they recruit.  They do nothing special there. That is why you don't see Ashland kids play there. It is kids they have brought in and recruited. Be realistic with yourself.  Offering money, college scholarships, and whatever else they say to recruit kids from the actual school who has actually developed the player. That is the truth. It isn't pretty at all and put * on 6 region titles they won.  Last two regions they won they were on probation for recruiting.

I know the previous coach, who you dislike so much, only had 3 transfers that played meaningful time for him at Ashland in the 4 years he was there, (all regional championship years I must add): Porter, Carter and Marcum (1 year for him). That’s feeble when comparing to the transfers that come into other programs around the state. Clark won a state title with 4 transfers who started for them. I am referring to the years the coach was there. Some may have played elementary ball elsewhere but when he took over the job they were already at Ashland. You try to make him sound like he was a big time recruiter and couldn’t win without them. His first year as coach when he inherited the team that was already there proves that thinking wrong as he won the region that season. 
And I will say again, 98% of transfers is parent/player driven. They make the first contacts. And few parents transfer their kids without having a conversation with someone at the schools beforehand. Most are looking for a better opportunity for their children.

He was a big-time recruiter and he could not win without them. Just like the current coaching staff could not win without recruitment. Im not talking transfer by the rule.

It's like the 2 political parties today, one says the other is doing this when in reality it's the pot calling the kettle black. This my friend is HOOPFAN!!!!!!!!

Another year and another KHSAA investigation for recruiting. Fresh off a two year probation period, and we will see what happens with this current situation of the videos of the Ashland coach recruiting the latest addition. LOL
