You already know that Pboy is a Clown and Trey is a Liar and ruins damn near every thread.
Westsidepublic may I ask how you came to the conclusion that this article was 100% about Sports?

Dude, I don’t care what you think. If you think I’m just making stuff up on the fly, whatever, it doesn’t bother me. You can believe me or not believe me, I really don’t care.
maybe he wasn’t as good as a freshman, but he is now. He was able to use that advanced development as an underclass man, and utilize it to his advantage to get significantly better because he was playing at the level he should have been playing at. He never would have gotten that chance at Elder. Elder just doesn’t do that. It’s not a knock, it’s just how they do things.
meanwhile, his freshman counterparts were winning 75-12. Who benefits there? Harp and keller literally should have been getting varsity minutes as freshman and starting the whole year as sophomores. In stead, the went one and half seasons winning by 50.

Like Moeller hasn't had loaded freshman teams before, because the freshman weren't ready for Varsity minutes or there simply wasn't room for them?

100% is a bad number and not far on my part, the article is about a great kid and family. But without sports it’s not written and not really a story.
If the teams are loaded, that’s one thing. If the upperclassmen are better, then the better kids play.
That wasn’t the case when these two were freshman and sophomores. The team they’re freshman year was very very average and both were better than all of the guards on the team. Same is probably true for when they were sophomores.
His decision to go to Taylor got him 2 extra years of development at his skill level, and he made the most of it.
Im sure part of the reason was his brother. I’m sure another part was so that he could contribute at his skill level right away. It’s obvious he made the right choice, in many ways.

Trey,
This kid is a legacy Elder, with an uncle that was a coach, and from Visitation. He is everything you have (wrongly) complained about on this forum forever. But yeah, go ahead and tell us how Elder and playing in the GCL would have hindered his development!

Just don’t talk about Taylor or Sports, this is the Elder forum??
. Sure you don’t want to upset Omar?. Trey=LiarSame 2 lying clowns every time! Tell you I am amazed at how Omar seems to have none of the values taught at Elder and Trey is still mad years after his neighbors brothers kid was cut!
There you go twisting words again. I never said Elder would have hindered his development. I said going to Taylor accelerated it, and he obviously made the right choice by going there, in multiple ways.
How you can take that as a negative is beyond me. But that’s what you do - constant Elder inferiority complex. I’ve had nothing but great things to say about the story, the kids highlighted, and the family involved. You’re an idiot.
He would have never played varsity basketball as a freshman or sophomore at Elder - FACTS. You choosing to take that negatively is on you. You being constantly butthurt by people telling the truth is a you problem.
And this is written and not one response calling it out but me. Yet I’m the problem.

Well, what started out as a nice story is going to be locked because grown men aren't so grown after all.

I’m showing restraint by not saying what I really want to say to you. And I said it’s a good story, no problem with it being posted on here, but I don’t like posters from Taylor coming into the Elder forum saying they offer a superior education.

The article wasn’t even about sports. It was about the family making a sacrifice to do what’s best for them.Just don’t talk about Taylor or Sports, this is the Elder forum??

How terrible of someone to say something positive about a non purple school.

It is the Elder forum. YJ can talk about Taylor’s superior education on the Taylor forum.
In Pboys defense, the entire thread was a slight to him from the very beginning.
If you want to point the finger at someone who made a great story into something else, point the finger at the guy that started it with the idiotic headline and initial post.
Just post the great story and move on. It’s amazing how the purple blinders can have you miss the obvious.

Tell that to the original poster who started off the whole thread that way. If you’re going to point the finger, point it at the right person.

So nobody can ever mention other schools in a positive manner on the Elder Forum. I'm so glad you cleared that up for all of us.

They’re free to do what they want, I’m not a moderator. However, I do take exception to coming into the Elder Forum and claiming another school offers superior education.
LOL - ok. He just called you out in the very first word of the very first post because he missed you.
Don’t be a homer pboy. I know you won’t agree with me just on principle alone, but it was an obvious attempt to antagonize you “and others”.

My only point was to say the story was not void of sports. Sports was a very important part of the story. Now the only thing that I am sorry about was that Trey or whatever he calls himself used what I said to support his conspiracy theory that Elder is more political then anyone else and it needs to change. Trey, what is the point of going to school. For me and my family it is to prepare yourself for life. My kids and I played sport for the same reason. Not many things prepare you for the real world and life better then sports. One of the biggest lesson to learn is life isn’t always fair. There are three ways to deal with it buckle down work harder, quit or complain and whine. We all know how you deal with it. If you can tell me anything in life especially something worth doing that has no politics then I will support anything you say. One of the biggest reasons someone goes to Elder or X is the networking.

It did have some antagonizing aspects to it, but no reason for a whole mess of you to go off the deep end and go on the defensive so hard.

Man, so you are offended that someone claimed Taylor provided a superior education on the Elder Forum?
Talk about snowflake.

it’s more about this being the Elder forum than the claim itself.
Well then let’s be honest and agree that this was most likely part of the thought process in going to Taylor. He was coming in with 2 kids with very high expectations and name that play the same/similar positions as him. Of course that was a factor.
But he’s taken his opportunity to do what Elder wouldn’t/couldn’t provide, and has elevated himself to the same level as the other two. Elder could have provided the same opportunities to all 3 of these kids, but with the family very familiar with how things work, for obvious reasons, sent him elsewhere to be with his brother and to play right away.
Im not saying it’s right or wrong. It’s simply fact. He would not have gotten that opportunity at Elder (not because he wasn’t good enough, but because that’s not how they operate). Again, how is that a conspiracy or an agenda? It’s just telling it like it is.

You can’t say your opinion, what was the family thought process
in the same statement say simple fact.
your opinion or guess is not fact

It’s an educated opinion on one of many reasons he chose Taylor. I’m not saying that part is fact. Definitely speculation, but I’m guessing we all know similar people who do know.
I’m saying it’s a fact he wouldn’t have played varsity basketball as a freshman or sophomore at Elder. That is indeed a fact. The other two didn’t even do that until the second part of their sophomore season.
Again, not because he wasn’t good enough either.
