The next big thing in St. Louis

[metro-dude]

University City boys basketball appears to be on the rise with second year head coach Kelvin Lee walking the sidelines. Kelvin Lee coached @ Chaminade for 16 years with a high degree of success. Bradley Beal, David Lee and Jayson Tatum were among his standout players.

Coach Kelvin Lee was an asst. coach @ CBC in the 90's. Kelvin Lee was instrumental in bring in Larry Hughes and Justin Tatum to win a large class state championship for Bobby McCormick.

We might remember the class of freshmen who enrolled @ St. Mary's 4 years ago to play for Kelvin Lee. Coach Lee was 60-23 during their freshmen-Junior year before moving to University City last year.

After speaking with Kelvin Lee last night @ the Borgia Turkey tournament where Kelvin was watching his son play varsity basketball ( 6'2" Sophomore ) @ Zumwalt North. I have reason to believe big time success is on the horizon @ University City who plays in class 3 districts.

Coach Kelvin Lee has a new motto, which is " Stay home and play @ University City ". It appears our successful privates schools were attracting the better basketball player out of University City. Kelvin Lee believes his " Stay Home " slogan will catch fire and the University City Lions will rise to the top of the St. Louis area polls sooner not latter

These freshmen basketball players enrolled @ University City this year and will start for the Lions.

1. Larry Abbey------5'9"
2. Jalen Hampton--6'5"

These players enrolled last year and have one year as varsity players

1. Brandon Ming---6'4"
2. Justin Holland---5'11"

Next years could be an even bigger year for enrollment and I'm guessing Coach Lee's son could enroll @ University City.

With the high degree of success for Coach Kelvin Lee over the past 20 plus years, do we have anyone out there who would bet against the University City Lions making a big splash in the St. Louis area polls as early as next season?

U. City-Trinity @ Vianney tournament 11-26-19. --Trinity is flat loaded with all top players returning from a 21-4 record last season. I have Trinity advancing in this one.

So you're saying he's been successful at recruiting HS players for many years?

That’s exactly what he saying

3Rfan and the Sikeston Train, Posters on this board must read up on the rules on recruiting. The MSHSAA does not consider recruiting violations if a student or students enrolls before the start of their 9th grade school year. Coach Kelvin Lee and others school districts can enroll out of district students if they pay tuition and be eligibility. Schools have different amounts of money ( Tuition ) for out of district enrollment. School districts should have free tuition for out of district students if they need more students. One school district in SEMO has a $ 500.00 cost for out of district tuition.

The same applies for schools who have 7th and 8th grade sports programs. The student must enroll before their 7th grade school year begins too be eligible for competition.

Kelvin Lee and others plus privates schools in Missouri abide by the rules for eligibility.

Yeah they just haft start the recruitment early.

Nothing will ever change the system in St. Louis or KC. It is what it is and most coaches take advantage of the system. You can't blame them when you get fired for not winning. Take away the pressure to have to win to keep your job and that would all change, but we all know that will never happen.

Pretty sad, and a running joke.

The St. Louis area high schools administrators have little time to fire coaches for not winning basketball or football games. The facts show the St. Louis area can not get coaches to fill positions. We have high schools who have not won in years and there jobs are safe. Can anyone name a coach being fired in the St. Louis area for not winning games. The only pressure a coach has in St. Louis is pressure coaches put on themselves.

Most of our large high schools do not have teaching positions to fill coaching positions. Our smaller high school across Missouri appears to dismiss coaches because parents get more involved. Here in St. Louis, school board members very seldom attend games and our administrators only attend because they are assigned to supervise the 25 plus school activities.

I can name a school who fired the basketball coach for winning but firing a coach for not winning does not happen.

Firing coaches for not winning is a small high school thing, not a big school thing.

Who was fired for winning?

A former coach @ St. Mary's. St. Mary's is one of the oldest high schools in the St. Louis area. The administration and school board wanted less minorities and stronger academic. The coach in questions did not see eye to eye with the administration on what they wanted as a coach. The coach and administration agreed on moving on without each other. I believing I'm correct on the above situation. If other information is out there that is different then the above, start typing.

I was fired once from a coaching gig ... “agreeing to move on without each other” isn’t how my firing went. I had no say in the situation. I would have stayed and coached those kids for free if offered any say. I guess firing, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder ... I guess.

 

[SEMO747883]

You mean you won more games than you should have but were fired for not making things happen on the court like the powers that be had drawn up in their heads. Or they had a kid who was great in junior high, but just didn't work hard enough to play ahead of other kids who put in the effort. Been there myself.

@ Vianney in the consolation bracket tonight:

University City---59
St. Mary's---------55

In his second year @ University City, Kelvin Lee got revenge on his old high school St. Mary's. This is indeed a fast turn around since University City has only two winning seasons in the last 5 years. University City is getting it done with 2-freshmen, 3 sophomores, one junior and Kywren Thorpes, I'm not sure if Kywren is home grown or a eligible transfer, he had 17 points tonight. Kelvin Lee's new slogan ( Stay Home ) appears to be working.

The St. Louis area must take notice as I'm predicting The University City Lions is another St. Mary's in the making and the time line may be in Feb. 2019 or November, 2019.

Well what the board at St Marys said was your not going to bring kids in here from all over St Louis for one thing and one thing only and that’s to win basketball games at all cost. I’m sure St Mary’s has academic standards they want to keep and don’t want to trade off just to win basketball games. Good for them.

Interesting concept, academics over sports hmmm!

Hold on Sikeston Train, You continue to post possible recruiting violations from other schools but you have not mentioned that the Sikeston Bulldogs had 4 transfers from other school districts enroll last season @ Sikeston. Sikeston had one return from Scott County Central, the Glass kid from Essex Richland and two brothers enrolled from out of state. Sikeston Train, all of these transfers were approved my the MSHSAA which means all four transfers were legal with no recruiting involved. ( Four new basketball players enrolled in one year must be a Missouri record )

Sikeston Train, I must ask you, others high schools can have legal transfers without recruiting issues just like Sikeston. ( Right or wrong ) We must remember all of University City's freshmen and Sophomores enrolled before there 9th grade year ( All legal ) Sikeston Train, please respond to your posts on everyone is gulity of recruiting including Kelvin Lee?

Thanks TJ. Dig me some Cary Lewis. Went to college with him. Great guy.

 

[Rocket689]

Metro...let’s get the facts. There were no “transfers.” The kid from SCC was in Sikeston schools his whole life and never moved from the district. His dad was an assistant at SCC so he went with his dad. When his dad left SCC, he came back to Sikeston to attend school. Again, he never moved out of the district to start,

The twins’ dad attended Sikeston when he was a kid. They moved back to Sikeston from Alabama.

The Glass kid moved out of the Richland school district into the Sikeston district. And, subsequently, he has moved back to the Richland district.

There were ZERO transfers. Kids moved into our district from other districts and stated, so they are eligible. None of them paid tuition.

Additionally, the tuition rate is supposed to be set by a formula from DESE. That’s how Sikeston does it. I’m fairly certain it’s suposed to be that way in all MO school districts.

Nobody said, the four enrollments @ Sikeston last year was ineligible or recruiting was involved. The facts will also show that other school districts across Missouri can have legal transfers as well. Tony Irons @ Vashon, Kelvin Lee @ University City and Jay Blossom @ Webster Groves should not be accused of recruiting when a new student enrolls. It appears to me players want to play in all four of the above programs and the parents may make the sacrifice and move into these districts.To me this is a compliment on a job well done.

Rocket, I must disagree with you on the out of district tuition. The school board makes the decision on the out of district tuition. Check out the out of district tuition @ Scott County Central. I believe it's $ 500.00 dollars per year if they have not made changes. Sikeston's out of districts tuition is in the 8-10 thousand range.

 

[rocketsbro]

The difference is that all of Sikeston's transfers moved into the district. This is not true of many of the STL and KC districts because they play by a different set of rules.

Rocketsbro, The MSHSAA have the same rules for all high schools in Missouri. The facts show Sikeston had four new enrolled students last year. You explained how all four basketball players arrived @ Sikeston high school @ the same time. All four players were declared eligible. I'm guessing enrolling four players in one year is state record. May be someone out there can remember more then four varsity ( Juniors and Senior ) basketball players enrolling in one year.

Rocketsbro, It's possible the St. Louis area coaches have not broken any MSHSAA rules just like Sikeston. Rocketsbro, can you give the St. Louis area coaches listed below the benefit of the doubt?

The coaches in the Metro Catholic League enroll their athletes before their freshmen year. All legal. Kelvin Lee enrolled all those St. Mary's basketball players before their freshmen year. All legal. Jay Blossom @ Webster enrolled C. Gordon after C. Gordon enrolled @ Vianney his 9th grade year. C. Gordon was ineligible for a year when he came back to Webster high school. C. Gordon spent his first 8 years in the Webster district and his last two and a half years @ Webster high school. Rocketsbro, according to you, what have these coaches done wrong?

These St. Louis area coaches are innocent of all charges by " Rocketsbro ".



1. Tony Irons @ Vashon High School
2. Kelvin Lee @ University City
3. Jay Blossom @ Webster Groves
4. Justin Tatum @ Christian Brothers
5. Coach Williams @ DeSmet
6. Others

 

[Bucket Lover]

metro you make it sound like Sikeston got four stud impact transfers on one team. Yes the twins were impact guys, but the Richland boy was a RESERVE player on the JV and didn't play any varsity. The Blissett boy, who I'm hesitant to even call a transfer since he went to school at Sikeston his whole life except for the two years his dad coached at SCC but it is technically a transfer so whatever, was a role player off the bench.

And yeah there is no way that is a record of transfers since Vashon and the metro Catholics routinely get 5, 6, 7 new players pretty much ever year. The funny thing last year is everybody blew up how many transfers Sikeston got last year and I can count on one hand prior to last year how many impact transfers Sikeston has gotten in 20 years.

 

[rocketsbro]

Ok didn’t make any charges. I just said the rules weren’t fair.

The KC and STL schools and the privates are not restricted by geographical restraints. While this may be allowed under the rules, that doesn’t make it fair to the more rural areas that are restricted.

rocketbro, rocket and bucket lover, I have checked on enrollments after their freshmen year in high school in the St. Louis area. I used " St. Louis high school prep and the MSHSAA as my references. My finding is Mehlville high school ( Three ) coached by Andy Guethle is second only to Sikeston ( Four ) in enrolling basketball players after their freshmen year in high school. The Metro Catholic League basketball teams enroll their future basketball players before their freshmen year. Cape Notre Dame also enrolls their sports teams before their freshmen years as well.

Rocketbro, rocket, sikeston train and bucket lover, do your homework as I have done and you will see the St. Louis area is clean just like Sikeston when they enrolled 4 new basketball players to their basketball program last year. Both Sikeston and St. Louis area coaches did nothing wrong and that includes Tony Irons, Jay Blossom, Kelvin Lee and Andy Guethle @ Mehlville. I suppose we can sum it up by saying kids want to play for certain coaches and parents make sacrifices.

Rocketbro, Rocket, Sikeston Train and Bucket Lover, what references do you guys use other then the " Hear say method " or the " Barber Shop Gossip " when posting about new enrollment?

Metro you didn't read anything I typed did you? And you're wrong, Chaminade, Vashon, and others do not only enroll for their freshman year. They get new transfers all the time. You need to do YOUR homework.

Refer to rocketsbro post. Nobody said anything about rules being broken, but rather unfair advantages in the city.

We can add defensive minded Coach Kent Williams and his DeSmet Spartans to the short list of the next big thing in St. Louis. DeSmet can start a competing sophomore team and defeat most of the high school in the St. Louis area. The Spartans are 5-1 to date.

Here's my starting five sophomore @ DeSmet.

1. Rico Bradfield-----------6'1"
2. Jeremiah Walker-------6'2"
3. Thomas Redmond-----6'4"
4. Sekou Gassamma-----6'10"
5. Yaya Keita---------------6'9"

Other sophomores on the team. The DeSmet Spartans are a future top-5-6 team in the St. Louis. The Spartans play in the tough " Metro Catholic League " one of the best conferences in Missouri.

1. Chaminade Red Devils----- ---------Coach Frank Bennett
2. CBC Cadets-----------------------------Coach Justin Tatum
3. DeSmet Spartans----------------------Coach Kent Williams
4. St. Louis University High Jr. Bills--Coach Erin Claggett
4. Vianney Goldens Griffins------------Coach Kevin Walsh

These three teams have losing records over the past ten years but that about to change.

1. DeSmet------------Coach Kent Williams--Class 5
2. Mehlville-----------Coach Andy Guethle--Class 5
3. University City---Coach--Kelvin Lee-----Class 4

Blacktiger for the win!

And boys, metro is so far gone these days you can’t argue anything. His comment about St Louis high school sports being clean is the most comical and delusional thing I have read in quite some time. Just because MSHSAA doesn’t rule kids ineligible doesn’t mean all these schools are playing by the rules. A large portion of the time these incidents go unreported. Why? Because those schools and coaches who are getting hosed in the situation ultimately don’t want to ruin the kids career and well being. They just let it go and move on because in the end MSHSAA is a joke anyways.

Metro if you truly believe everything going on is within the rules please pass along your info because I have a bridge to sell you. Will be well worth your time

cant-coach--Give us some basketball players names and high schools that are not abiding by the MSHSAA rules in the St. Louis area? Some of our high school administrators are making salaries between $ 125,000.00--$ 250,000.00. I do not believe they would sacrifice their positions to aid in winning basketball games. These administrations are responsible for running these schools in the St. Louis area which includes all athletics.

Most of my basketball friends in the St. Louis area can not believe the Sikeston Bulldogs enrolled four new basketball players to their basketball program last year and all in the their junior and senior year in high school ( Missouri State Record ). Cant-coach, you have called the MSHSAA a joke and they ruled all four Sikeston's new players eligible. How do you think Vashon's Tony Irons, University Cities Kelvin Lee, CBC'S Justin Tatum, Mehlville's Andy Guethle and DeSmet's Kent Williams feel when they read your post and my rebuttal post? I will go on record and agree with the MSHSAA on the new Sikeston enrollments that no rules were broken but I must also agree with the MSHSAA that no rules were broken here in the St. Louis area as well.

The Sikeston loyalist--Rocket, Rocketbro, Sikeston Train, Cant coach and bucket lover have a new motto-----" We ( Southeast Missouri ) are clean and St. Louis are guilty "

 

[rocketsbro]

Everyone who does or has played for Sikeston physically lives in the geographically defined Sikeston school district under MSHSAA rules. Is that also true of all of the players in the aforementioned STL schools?

rocketbro, it is my understanding the MSHSAA has approved all St. Louis area rosters too date otherwise forfeit games would be in order. The twin guards from Alabama who enrolled @ Sikeston last season appear to be the real deal. Are these guys next level players? I'm not sure why St. Louis area schools continue playing Sikeston since the Sikeston Bulldogs are 51-2 over the past 6-7 seasons against St. Louis. Rocketbro, could you post the Sikeston dominance records over St. Louis area schools over the past 7 seasons?

Big game home game of interest with Cape Central tonight. Who is the favorite?

 

[rocketsbro]

Metro, did you also dodge the draft?

 

[Cant-Coach-Just-Blog]

My mistake for saying “St Louis” high school sports as I should have said Missouri high school sports when talking about transfers and recruiting. If you don’t believe behind the scenes recruiting goes on in basketball and football in Missouri high schools you are completely naive. St Louis gets pointed on more than others because there are 140 high schools in a 50 mile radius and there are so many private schools in the area. I’m not a Semo homer as I don’t even live in that area. I just get sick of hearing you being so naive and thinking everything is legal. As far as MSHSAA goes and their rulings, you and I both know they aren’t going to ever ruffle any feathers as they want to make sure they are making as much money as possible. That’s all they are about point blank

Who is doing the recruiting? Is it the coaches, The administration, the parents, the players or others. Would someone give us a name of a recruited player. It's easy to make statements, anyone can do it but when dealing with the facts as the MSHSAA must do, I just don't see why posters are placing guilt on St. Louis and Southeast Missouri area high schools.
