Hearing that Augusta is loading up on talent at the middle school level? Anyone else hearing this? Just pulled some kids from Mason and Bracken.

Sounds like the new coach is making a lot of new friends.

I heard Bracken Co is not thrilled about phone calls to their middle school players.

We will see how this goes.

[bam]

It don.t matter those kids will end up in Mason Co anyway

[Welcome]

HATERS on here!!!!!!

[bam]

Don't matter to me just stating the faxes,If you break each kid down its plain as day.

Hearing that Augusta is being put under a microscope.

[Welcome]

Sounds like we are having a Technology & Science class in this post!

[KYHoopFan]

Don’t matter if Jimmy Chitwood doesn’t play.

Hearing that Augusta is being put under a microscope.

The one great scorer isn't very discreet I guess.

[Bandit29]

Looks like they are pulling kids from surrounding schools. But who wouldn't want to go the the "basketball factory"?

[KYHoopFan]

Who all is on the staff top to bottom?

[MikeHoncho47]

Augusta is still upset Bracken Co took Coach Jason Hinson from them!

Is it illegal to recruit middle school kids?

Is it illegal to recruit middle school kids?

You would think calling middle school students would be.

[brooksville]

Is it illegal to recruit middle school kids?

Yes. Coaches of any grade cannot recruit at any grade.

If there's proof, then share the names. I get tired of reading recruiting on here when no one provides the names and when kids/parents were contacted. It's notorious here in the 14th Region, but a lot of it is hearsay as well.

[Poseidon]

Yes. Coaches of any grade cannot recruit at any grade.

And it has never been done by any coach at any school anywhere. Coaches have too much integrity to recruit......hehe...Playing of course. Unfortunately it is a part of the coaching game in all sports, it happens. Some just have better support than others covering it up.

[MikeHoncho47]

They are doing all of this because Bracken took Coach Hinson from them! Take all you want, Coach Hinson will still out coach them![Image: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CDDmQz1W8AAOP0B.jpg]

I hope all those boys in Augusta take a good long look at this man here. The BEST coach Bracken County or Augusta has ever seen. The man is a White Board Wizard. I just hope those Augusta boys see the error of their ways, playing for that Newton fella in Augusta when they could be up the hill playing for Hinson is kind of like playing for Transy when Calipari has a place for you on his team...

I'm hearing everyone just wants to play for the "basketball factory".

They have great role models for those kids, who wouldn’t want to play for them

While I am suspecting sarcasm, why does it matter who they play for? It happens all the time in the mountains. Sounds like sour grapes to me!

[Vols0528]

I know coach newton and he would not recruit players. Hes above board and I believe in him. I know the man and the character. Simply put he isn't behind any recruiting.

now I will pose this. If players are willing to leave Bracken Co and no play for Coach Hinson what does that say for the relationship between players, parents and the HC.

Players don't leave coaches they believe in

[FarristownFlyer]

Good for Augusta! Class A ball...go get em. I hope they go to the All A and win the thing!

[Vols0528]

i will be listening to every game this year from Ann Arbor. Go Panthers
