Anyone know if there is an mass explodus of transfers yet to bourbon from Paris?

Spoke with a staff member, who said at least 20 kids have already made their way over and that they're expecting more from Lexington.

Kirkland Chestnut has been brought in as the DC.

I believe he brought his entire Paris staff with him minus 1 or 2 and I also believe that Chestnut was on staff there as well.

In as much of a "non-hater" way as I possibly can, I've attended a few Paris games over the last 2-3 years and my personal opinion is that the players were never the issue.  They had the Jimmies and Joes to beat Raceland and Sayre, but were dominated by those teams. I saw the kids cussing out the coaches on the sidelines and a buddy of mine close to the program said that kids would show up Thursday for practice and play on Fridays.

The bigger the school the more those problems will show.

That said if he brought over his 15-20 top players then Bourbon would be an instant favorite to get to the semifinals game given that they were on par with Rockcastle who has been on par with Bell in that Eastern 3a. That was with a 25 man roster.
