I know a little about this situation knowing a few that are involved. The two players that left are good players and I don't believe anyone is trying to say they are better because they left, obviously their size would have helped this team. But with the 2 guards and had the big guys stayed at LC they would have potentially been very good in HS and had a chance to compete for a region title. I believe they still have that chance with the guard play they have, maybe not as good a chance but who knows. Here is my point, I would rather compete and not win a regional title at Lewis with home grown kids than to transfer and win and compete in the state tourney with kids from everywhere. As most knows, Lewis has never won the region, could you imagine the first time they do, they will never be forgotten!!!! I don't like schools that recruit and players that go to another school just because they want that chance to go to state or "better chance of playing in college". If you are good enough, college coaches will find you, goto exposure camps over the summer and play AAU, that is were you get noticed not on your high school team. As far as you dugout66, the Adams kid is a very good point guard, I believe most are referring to the Ruckel kid that most teams are having a hard time stopping here late in the year. I don't believe that anyone said they were the best players or could compete with the best teams in the state, I believe they were talking about the OVC confrence and the 16th region. This thread is about the OVC. Both of these kids are getting time on JV and coaches are trying to prepare them and the others for the future. hh:
