On my team, any Holmes player would be given a chance to earn a starting spot, all positions they played would be a clear slate. If it were your team, any SV player would be told to sit on the bench.

Have I ever said Justice or anyone else wouldn't start for Holmes? I just don't think Knipp would start for them because of his position...maybe you should look at it from that perspective instead of assuming things.

Holmes doesn't need another 3/4 type player, which is why he wouldn't start. Look at Holmes starting lineup...where would Knipp fit in?

1 6'0 Pierre Mayfield
2 6'5 Ricardo Johnson
3 6'5 Jeremiah Johnson
4 6'6 Kevon Rice
5 6'8 Elijah Pittman

Unless Knipp can run the point, he wouldn't start. On the other hand...a player like Justice, Chad Jackson, Thomas Jackson, Remy Abell, Robbie Stenzel, Josh Sewell, Josh Forrest, or Ge'Lawn Guyn (to name a few) WOULD start for Holmes because they have the ability to run the point, which is going to be Holmes weakest spot next year from an offensive stand point. Just because a kid is really good, doesn't mean he'd automatically come in and start for a talented team...especially when they already have someone just as good or better than him starting now.

See Brandon Housely at Holmes this past season...he would have started ANYWHERE in nky and at a lot of schools around the state, but came off the bench at Holmes...why? Because they already had a solid 2 man in Dom Johnson when he came in.
