Region D Transfers

[MMcMahon26]

It sounds like Eastside’s Azzy Hammons is headed to J.I. Burton. I know for at least the last two years, the BHC has released an article detailing all the transfers for the upcoming year, and it seems like a lot of them are in Region D. This is not to say that it only happens there, but I’m curious. Why does it happen so much out there, and is it a problem?

It happens because the VHSL has dug a hole by allowing teams like LCA and John Marshall bend the rules.   Can't cherry pick which rules to enforce.

the VHSL is a joke,  needs to be replaced!!

Will she be eligible to play immediately?  Didn’t know how it worked since she’s transferring from a Wise County school to a Norton City school

I think both schools have to sign off on the transfer for her to be able to play!!

Only if there is not a change of address. If there is a move associated with the transfer, the player is eligible immediately.

It does, along with a VHSL review of academics prior to eligibility being granted.

How many transfers do JIB and Central have? Between the boys and girls programs at those two schools, they could make a starting five unit for other teams.

Anybody know if Hammons will be playing tonight against her old team?

Talking to a Burton basketball parent Wednesday and said he expects her to play tonight.  Burton just went back from Christmas break yesterday, so I think that was one thing that had to happen before she could play but I may be wrong there.  She was in warmups on the Burton bench Tuesday at the Cove.

Loyalty, it's a thing of the past. I just wonder what these transfers are chasing?? It's becoming a joke!

[stan.the.man]

its more about the parents than the players!!

The Flores girl from upper east Tennessee started in the David Crockett system, transferred to Daniel Boone before her freshman season, transferred to Knoxville Catholic before the start of this her sophomore season, and now just this week has transferred back to Boone and is eligible to play for Boone beginning tomorrow.
