Do you work for the Tennessean? If not, don't speak for them. I would bet a lot of money they would laugh at your posts in this thread. It's sad you would actually direct skepticism at a player of her caliber and allude she doesn't know the difference between an offer and " receiving letters".

 

 

I am quite certain with Kayla and her mother's ( the coach) basketball IQ she knows what the difference is between offers and letters. I am sure the Tennessean would have had to add a lot more schools if she listed the schools she was receiving interest from.

 

 

Kayla's one of the top guards in the nation for the class of 2009 and easily one of the most recruited players in Class A in a long long time. Just leave it at that. The more you put your foot in your mouth the more it reflects poorly on Jackson County fans for not being able to objectively discuss non Jackson County players without attempting to devalue their worth.

The main thing is Kayla will be able to choose from a number of colleges and have her education paid for.

"Said she already has offers from .................................". Which tells us the Tennessean is reporting what she said and not actually saying it themselves.

 

Getting a letter and getting an actual offer are 2 different things. Many kids say they have offers but they don't always. That is why the Tennessean worded it that way. (just in case)

 

 

In this case, the Tennessean misunderstood Kayla when she said she was "being recruited" by those schools. Since it's not a direct quote it's hard to make a big deal about it, but she's upset nonetheless about having her words stretched.

 

Newspapers have "misunderstood" me before and made things sound a lot better than actually the case. I've never been comfortable with it, but that's just the nature of "reporting."

Maybe I am mistaken but can a college offer a junior a scholorship? I thought they had to be seniors. If correct, then these schools are going to have to be investigated by the TSSAA or the NCAA.

 

Can anyone verify this information????

 

Yes, this girl is good. I wonder if all the votes were in prior to Collinwood getting knocked out of the Region tourney. If so, then Abby Andrews will probably get Ms. Basketball. If not, Kayla will most likely get it and is probably the best player in Class A. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

 

She should be a shoe-in next year as a senior and will be a major catch for any College. If I were her, I would give MTSU a major look.

The person that made the post you are referring to is not from Jackson County, there is not a need to get bent out of shape.

 

As a Jackson County fan, I personally know Kayla and her parents, her play simply speaks for its self, we will be watching her play on TV some where big time.

This girl would be the dominant go-to player on ANY team she played for. She is that good. CR spent 1/2 the game doubling her and she still shot an outstanding average and proved that no even two quality defenders could stop her. She's head and shoulders above anyone I've seen and played team ball the entire game. She will be a true asset to any college lucky enough to sign her.

I'm having to listen today, You know I would like nothing better than to see an all 7A final, however both 7A teams has their plate full on friday, any of the 4 remaining teams are very capable of playing Saturday. Hope to see you Friday.

I was sitting there yesterday when the question was asked of Kayla and I believe she was giving a list of schools that were recruiting her or she was interested in. I don't remember exactly how it was worded, but it was something like that. I don't think she said anything about receiving offers from any of these schools it was more a list of schools on the radar. I also don't think a school can make an official offer until late in the summer before your senior season. Anyway, when the time comes she'll have plenty to choose from and she'll make a good decision.

I'll be rooting for Clarkrange and Jackson County. At this point it comes does to executing and a break here of there.

i KNOW kAYLA, HER MOM AND SHE WOULD BE VERY DESERVING OF ANY AWARD OR OFFER SHE GETS AND FROM WHAT I KNOW SHE IS AS GOOD A PERSON AS BASKETBALL PLAYER. ANY OF THE LADIES NOMINATED IS VERY DESERVING AND THE WINNER WON'T BE DESIDED BY ONE GAME AND I WISH THEM ALL THE BEST AND JUST BEING NOMINATED IS A HONOR SO ALL THREE IN MY BOOK IS A WINNER, BUT ONE WILL BE PICKED

[The Highlander]

I am betting most of Single A hopes she becomes the first player in history to graduate early, forego her senior year of eligibility, and enter the college ranks.

 

 

AMEN!!!!!
