WillieTheWildcats Posted January 25, 2020 Report Share Posted January 25, 2020 This sounds like a mess. I feel sorry for the fans of both schools having to deal with this issue. Best wishes to both teams and fans. <<<while you fuss other teams teams are working>>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was promised something!! If she is eligible, she will play. No I am sure Cleveland’s coach knew nothing about this and I am positive had no contact with the player. And with that being said I am 100% sure that he will do the honorable thing for his current players and not play this kid til next year. Trust the Process and that philosophy is working.

High unlikely that Cleveland’s coach didn’t know. I know for a fact that the player being discussed here has threatened multiple times this season to transfer to Cleveland. Do you all forget that Williams was at East Hamilton and had Rhyne Howard as a star 8th grader playing on varsity?? Bradley’s Coach and other influential Cleveland “Elite” were able to close the deal and Howard was at Bradley as a ninth grader. The player being mentioned here played at Cleveland Middle and should have been at CHS to start with. The tactics in Bradley County are as about as close as you get to the AAU scandals that have occurred over the last couple of years. Don’t be fooled.

pioneer42 Posted January 26, 2020 Report Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I know one thing that is very certain. Kids that transfer and their families better read the by-laws in detail and double check with TSSAA before swapping schools. The kid’s situation that tried to transfer to Fayetteville’s football team ought to be a lesson to all.

He was at Rhea middle when Howard was in 8th grade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Fayetteville, Cleveland is too good to risk having games forfeited by playing ineligible players. I am assuming it will be up to the AD to clear her with the TSSAA like at most schools. I don’t think it’s a coaches decision at all. With their current roster, they are set to finish top two in the district and and easy path to the regions. IMO they won’t risk playing her until she is cleared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some times lots of decisions are made on emotion and are not thought out. This is obviously a program changing player and all eyes will be on what happens. This is definitely a deal where all the I’s need dotted and the T’s crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition , I’m not sure there are many coaches out there that care for either one them as coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand she is ineligible- and has asked to return to Bradley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one thing it’s to close to tournament time for this much distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TSSAA may know now it is a basketball move and they may not be elgible for a bonafide move this season.
