Blu_Man 10 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Heard someone discussing a kid from Bluefield who transferred to Richlands. They said he was running with first team in drills. Some tall, lanky kid. They said people were not impressed when they saw him play for Bluefield in the 7on 7s. They may be mistaken, just curious if it were true.

stu_bean 1,058 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 Can someone clarify the new rule on transfers. Also how does it apply to out of state individuals such as him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VHSLhelper 571 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 there's no new rule on transfers at the state level (except for some former Wise Co. students)... maybe on the county level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrb 26 Report Share Posted August 5, 2011 I had heard that the school board had passed a rule that if you transfered within the county (Tazewell) you had to set out a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto 10 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 It wasn't a transfer within the county, and whoever was talking the kid down about the 7 on 7's was uninformed imho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futbolking 766 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I had heard that the school board had passed a rule that if you transfered within the county (Tazewell) you had to set out a year. I hope that applies to all sports, I'm tired of this crap of kids transferring to another school to play certain sports. Or because their parents don't like the coach.

Any kid from the 3rd string of Bluefields team would become an allstar at Richlands and start at any position he chooses! That is why I understand people at Bluefield not being impressed with him and those at Richlands thinking him the best thing since sliced bread! LOL! Most know that Richlands could not carry Bluefields SLOP BUCKET!:p I am sorry but I could not resist posting that!:D I am only kidding! :p:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or because their parents don't like the coach. It's a two way street though. What if a kid is forced to transfer due to family relocation or parents accepting a new job. You can't readily punish them for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blu_Man 10 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I am going to assume his last name is Gleason. So I haven't heard the name, don't know much about him or what class he is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrb 26 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 No, I don't think its Gleason. I only know her from high school and know that is her son. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pru 10 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Personally I see no issue with this. It happens all the time or at least it used to happen all the time at Graham and Bluefield. Kids going from Bluefield to Graham, of from Graham to Bluefield. Most recent acquisition being Bluefield getting Will Cole from Graham. I think as long as the parents are willing to re locate to the area that would allow their kids to play at whatever school it should be ok. As long as there was no recruiting done to bring him to Richlands from Bluefield I would have no issue and don't think many people should have an issue either. Yeah losing certain key players may not be good for your team but it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or because their parents don't like the coach. Agree with that completely and that's what I was thinking but it all could have been talk so I was just wondering if there was any truth to it. It's a two way street though. What if a kid is forced to transfer due to family relocation or parents accepting a new job. You can't readily punish them for that. Agree there as well I know that if people move that's one thing but it has got to be to common with players going to other schools and I would say the same if it was a player coming to us. Not to be too political but make it like the NCAA and have justified reasons that you wouldn't have to sit out a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blufan04 12 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 I am going to assume his last name is Gleason. So I haven't heard the name, don't know much about him or what class he is in. His name is DJ Flack. He is a junior I believe and saw alot of action in mop up duty last season. He is very quick and should be a great addition to Richland's secondary. Bluefield will be fine without him though. Best of luck to DJ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is it anybody's business other than the parents and child where they go to school and play sports if they live in that area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Actually, that's a painful blow for Bluefield...he did get a lot of mop-up duty last season and projected to be a contributor this season...and with the lack of experience returning this year for the Beavers...OUCH... I think DJ will definitely help the 'naders...another weapon in the arsenal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishman 30 Report Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) His grandfather is Dr. Jim Gleason and played football for Coach Ernie Hicks @ Richlands, in the fifties. I remember watching him play, as a very fast running back. I guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree. Cristi Gleason is his mother and was an outstanding basketball player @ Richlands.
