Speaking of Buds, that pjdougie's creation would be very deserving of a few to wash that down with. I like the fried onions to top it off with dougie.:rockon:

But in my opinion if a school system wants to keep their kids in district, then they should present a positive reason for those kids to stay in their own district. If the district stinks at athletics, academics or the kid just doesn't wish to go to that school for personal reasons, then they should be allowed to move to a better opportunity that will give them a better chance to succeed......in life. I live in Garrard County and sent my kids to Rockcastle County. My reasons were personal ones at the time, but, my boys excelled at Rockcastle County in academics AND sports. They might have done as well at Garrard County, but, the track they took worked out nicely for them and we have no regrets for the extra travel/commute.
I'd go to Rockcastle County to eat a cheeseburger instead of going to Marksbury

Btw stealing a teams best players shouldn't be something you brag about, typical corbin its why your always brought up when stuff like this is mentioned
The only lies being told is that weâre recruiting your players and that there is some kind of rivalry between the schools, that donât play. This is just another false narrative you bunch of rubes try to push, like the whole we could have beat Corbin if weâd played, even though thereâs nothing there to validate the claim!! Corbin played for the state championship NL got beat in the 2nd round end of story!!! Enjoy your season :welcome:

The worst case of recruiting that allegedly occurred took place was in the town where the assistant coach was handing out business cards. If that did indeed happen, that was bold.

I could be wrong, but I think a lot of the recruiting accusations that we hear about are greatly exaggerated. While I'm sure recruiting still occurs, and it is worse at some places than others, I think a lot of kids go to some of these tradition rich programs on their own. The success of these schools recruit themselves. Kids go to these schools on their own because they want to win. I know when I played, I heard some crazy recruiting tales taking placing at a nearby class A powerhouse program. I think they were greatly exaggerated, but I could be wrong. I know the school that I played at has lost a few players to this very program. I don't think they were actually recruited. I think they left on their own because they wanted a shot at playing for a state title.

I got bored about a year ago and looked up some of their players. I would not even exaggerate saying 80% of the ones I looked up were from WV. Now Iâm not hating on them, nor the kids. They just want to be in the best place for them to succeed. But even though mileage might not be much being from a different state kinda looks bad.

You DO realize literally less than about 2 miles separates the high school from the state of WV, right? And that a trip even from downtown Williamson, WV (just a short distance from Belfry HS) to Mingo Central is about 15 minutes at least. So if someone lives in Williamson, and can drive 5 minutes to school, why wouldn’t they? I’m by far no big Belfry supporter, but I don’t get how it “looks bad” to have people from another state when literally some could jog to school in about 15 mins. Lol. Maybe to someone who is not literally on the border it looks highly suspicious but if you know the geography, it makes sense.
But to the main question of this thread. Does recruiting happen? No doubt. I’ve seen and heard some crazy things with HS recruiting in my day. And like another person said, the majority of it is greatly exaggerated but it does happen once in a while. Usually somewhere where they are down and have very high expectations or somewhere trying to build success or get over the hump. The great programs, their success stands on its own.

Did they get any players with the coach they recruited from Jellico? lol

The fans of schools like Belfry and Corbin use the same boring BS lines over and over and over and over. Your team would be mediocre too if you didn't have all-stars from surrounding counties. duh
nicker: . Some have the name to recruit alright.

As I stated, Iâm all for the kids being in the best place to succeed. But you canât objectively say it doesnât look bad having a kid from WV playing for a KY HS. Itâs the same for someone from Ohio or Tennessee. Not hating on the kids for doing it. I would want to be in the best place for me too. But even if itâs 5 minutes to their Hs in Ky and 15 to their HS in their state, it still looks bad. We have borders for a reason. Now I donât know what the law says about kids being out of state, but how many have Ky addresses?

I ain't got a thing against Marcella's, Rocket Burgers or the county. I visit the area and Marcella's pretty often
. I usually get a burger or something with soup beans and fried taters, but the last time I was there I had a good catfish dinner.

I agree! Which is why I said it looks even worse crossing state lines. But Iâm also in favor of kids going where they want. Still looks bad though with kids showing up to Hs with another states tags on their plate
