I know very little about this situation, but if it's true, I don't really understand the rationale. Of course it's an honor to play at Oak Hill. I understand that players go there to get an opportunity to play with and against top high school talent. However, isn't the main motivation usually to get exposure; hence more major college scholarship offers. I thought Hale has already verbally committed to Alabama. Furthermore, I'm not sure Hale is ready for Oak Hill. It's true that he is an excellent talent with big upside, but he was exposed by Southwind's Jonathan Williams during the Arby's this season. Good luck to Shannon if he chooses this path, but I think J3 is much more ready for Oak Hill than Hale is. He will go from being "the man" at SH to likely just competing for playing time at Oak Hill. My two cents...

Exposure is only the start. Competition is what really sets Oak Hill apart. They play as tough a schedule as anyone in the country. Science Hill's only competition is in tournaments like Arby's and the substate, etc. Oak Hill's competition is good every game, every night. The rationale is really preparing to play at an SEC level when he goes to Bama...

Great point. However, in order for this to work, one has to be on the floor competing. I don't see Hale in that role at Oak Hill yet. Maybe after another year...sounds like it's a moot point anyway.

I have heard there may something going on here after all. Hale and Jaylen Allen could be a package deal somewhere. Jaylen wants to play the guard position which is what he will play in college.

 

 

Not surprised. That would really hurt - considering the schedule they've got set for next year... Jaylen probably needs the exposure/experience more than Hale.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
