Here's who was honored for their play this season. democratherald.com/sports/high-sc…

Portland native Terrence Hill Jr. WENT OFF in VCU’s overtime win over North Carolina today: 34 PTS 5 REB 5 AST 13/23 FG 7/10 3PT OFF THE BENCH🤯 @PrepHoopsOR @PortlandPreps #opreps #recruitOR

@thirty3pro No stand to take. I thought it was interesting my kids team had no transfers. Checked to see how common that was. Turns out not very. I posted about it. Never made any assertions it was “better” or “right.”

@AndySnacks Well, “just asking questions” while pushing an agenda is frustrating, isn’t it? Makes it hard to communicate. You still haven’t taken a stand. You’re trying to make a point but you’re not willing to stand by it.

Checked girls 5A this morning: There's 4* that I could find the entire roster has attended the same school their entire high school careers: Wilsonville Summit LaSalle Putnam *Eagle Point had one girl I couldn't confirm where she went freshman year

Full season stats Top 25 in all NWAC in scoring 16ppg | 4 reb | 4ast | 2 stl 45% fg | 39% 3p @recruitpursuit_ @JUCOadvocate @Collegebbopens

@thirty3pro If what you got out of this discussion was that I'm upset a kid that transferred had more success than my kid who didn't.......I'm much worse at communicating than I thought.

@AndySnacks Congrats on your kid’s success. At least he didn’t transfer

@thirty3pro Good chat. Longer than it takes most people to call me pathetic. Appreciate the discussion.

@AndySnacks But…of course…the laws that exist are wrong and should be amended to reflect your ethical values. Pathetic.

@thirty3pro I think most rules exist to deter people from making bad decisions. Lot more people would not wear a seat belt if it wasn't a law.

@AndySnacks Rules need to change to prevent people from making bad decisions? Kids aren’t making these decisions. People with money making foolish choices for their kids is nothing new.

@thirty3pro The issue is not with the kids that are having the success, but with the kids that aren't and find out the grass isn't always greener be that athletically, academically, socially, whatever. If that's happening more often than not, maybe the rules need to change.

@thirty3pro On this we agree, and that's what I was trying to point out. If 85% of schools have kids that have moved around, people aren't actually mad that they're moving, they're mad that they had more success by doing it.

@thirty3pro That's probably the bigger issue - the rules for transfers aren't consistent, so some schools have an advantage over others. Needs to be more centralized rather than district to district.

@thirty3pro Oh sure, there's some jealousy involved. The density of schools in the Portland area makes it much more feasible to move your kid around than if you live in Prineville or Lebanon or some other more remote area. Also, some districts are more open to transfers than others.

@thirty3pro Because nobody is complaining that Parkrose won a championship because their kids have more money. The issue most people have is with transfers. Also Starwalt was a transfer.

@AndySnacks And this is my point. Why transferring? The all time leader in 3pt shooting is already posting video from her private gym with her rebounding and passing machine. But she didn’t transfer, so her advantage is somehow more valid?

@thirty3pro I have no problem with transferring, but I think there should be some stricter guardrails put on transferring, but not sure how you do that without making it inequitable. Restricting it to physical address changes gives wealthier families ability to rent apts they won’t live in

@thirty3pro It's not wrong at all, and I never said it was. Just trying to point out that lots of kids are transferring, and not just to a handful of the top schools. Would I like to see data on what percentage of overall transfers to a school play varsity sports? Sure.

@thirty3pro Again, transferring to win games seems to be what has people upset, so I looked at the teams that won the most games. Would be interesting to see if there are fewer transfers to the less successful teams. Maybe I’ll do that next. My assumption is there’s less movement there.

@AndySnacks So what are you implying by limiting your data to playoff teams?

@thirty3pro Not sure I follow, and I'm not sure I agree that it improves a child's "prospects" in most transfer situations. It may help them win more high school games, but I think it's rare that a kid gains more traction recruiting wise by transferring schools. There's club sports for that.

@AndySnacks Well, to prove those points you’d need better data. The larger issue seems to be the idea that there is some threshold of things parents are ethically allowed to do for their children. Why would transferring to improve a child’s prospects be the line?

@thirty3pro Also, I found it interesting, and that tweet got way more traction than I expected so it seems like other people find it interesting too

@AndySnacks What point are you pursuing?
