3 links condemning TS

Again, where is the "proof"???
If its true, I'll join the rest of the whiners club and cry over TS beating us this year.

Well he has an agent which is confirmed by many sources. He played for league which does indeed play thier players. I'm sorry I do not have video footage or photos of him accepting money, but the evidence is pretty convincing to me. Well, maybe not in your case. But like I said your entitled to your own opinion.
I never said I wanted you to join our "whining group" anyways lol

IM his agent.. i went over to macedonia a number of times to watch him play ..me and some of the big red army made tons of trips over there.. nice place u all should go sometime... im thinking about going to jamaica and get some exchange students for next year.. i have ut 1 and stripes some lineman coming in... we have a 300 lb 7ft guy coming in next year.. he is kin to bob marley or somebody like that... i hope he is a pro though.....

now if ts was losing there would be none of this bitching.. come on people.. this is so stupid..

u know was funny the other night twin valley saying if u cant breed them buy them... haha 2 of twin valleys starters are not even from twin valley.. kt and goodman are from grundy and council.. after they bitched and moaned about transfers last year that got 2 didnt they.. well well... oh yeah this so called website dumbdun or whatever his name is has found also has jj kellys player on it... it prob has councils exchange student on it 2....i dont hear anything being said bout the es from kelly .. i guess because they dont win like ts....

kent has lived in whitewood his whole life

**imported_Dunduin** · February 28th, 2006, 01:35 AM

He is from whitewood.

And i've stated before that if the player from Kelly was paid he as well shouldn't play and the kelly program punished. I just keep hearing the same stupid argument from people "you have no proof!" well I just provided links saying that FIBA pays their players and Kecev played under FIBA. That's enough to at least say I'm onto something.

I'm sorry if people from TS don't understand the concept of money since they still barter crops for services.

But please QUIT STATING THE SAME ARGUMENT OVER AND OVER. If you have something to contradict what i've found then state it otherwise shut up about how your school is being singled out and attacked.

general argument

holding back = legal
foreign exchange students = legal
players who were given money in any fashion at any time at any place to play basketball for a certain team = illegal

the question really isnt that TS gets foreign players...duh, so what, lots of schools do that nor is it the fact they get transfers from other schools...ive only seen 2 problems with TS

1) Derek Smith and Chucky Lindholm...never moved residence...if anyone wants to argue that point ill be glad to take a ride with you to their residence in nickelsville to prove me wrong

2) if (notice i said if, i dont have a dang clue and quite frankly had never heard of the kid until the regionals, even after seeing TS play) he has an agent, he is ineligible...he or his family or his host family has to give the agent money of some sort which makes him ineligible...or if he got paid to play in Macedonia (i hope to the good Lord on everything Holy that this isn't the case b/c then someone done went and wasted good money) then he is ineligible

comparing AAU to that international organization is not the same...AAU does not pay players, AAU programs have sponsors that buy jerseys, shoes, etc. for kids who play for the program which has a contract with a certain shoe company...in turn, these shoe companies pressure the AAU coaches to send their players to teams that their company sponsors in college which is a really dirty business and needs badly to be addressed...but i digress, this international organization does all of the above, but still gives money to players who play on their 18U team in their league and what have you...what some must remember is that some players play in these leagues but do not get paid, they do it for experience...we need to find out which is the case for Pince, Ponce, Ping Pong whatever dude's name is

VT has a player from the Netherlands who has played semi-pro ball for his home country since he was 14...the reason he is eligible is becuase he wasn't on the payroll like the other players, this could be the case for that kid...but like i said, if he has an agent, whether or not he was paid in Macedonia doesn't matter...think of it like college kids wanting to enter the NFL draft...once you hire an agent you can no longer come back unless you give back all such money and suffer some suspension like the guy from Kentucky

paid or not...ineligible or not...i dont think we're in any danger of TS having to give back a state title trophy anytime soon

I guess the tears come from your way down the Clinch that flows near by the Cove. I guess that is why it floods ever so often. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
