Dont get me wrong some tranfers are good and better than what you have. But you can put a team together from kids that are not playing right now and beat the starting five. You'll have this at every school but Jackson could dominate if it could hang on to its own and stop taking tranfers. Something can be said about the last 3 years when you have 3 players that were excellent that played elsewhere. Before anyone says anything about me being bitter, trust me I'm not. Just a disappointed fan when you continue to see this. I've seen the last 3 year senior classes and they keep getting smaller and smaller that are playing. Coach has to realize that sometimes experience will get you way farther than a kid that you think is a little better. Four year player that knows the system vs newbie. I'm sure this will ruffle alot of feathers. This year wont be as good as everyone thinks, coach has got alot of kids down on themselves. I wont go into the specifics but its been an issue the last 3 years that it had to be addressed.

JMO. Feel free to committ

(It’s not like other sports) The athletes not playing are not able to do those things so they are not basketball players. Coach Morrow has done a great job at Jackson. Enough Said!

Almost every single kid that is no longer playing knew they were moving on from basketball after last season and weren’t at open gyms or summer stuff before the transfers even showed up.

In 10th grade I was a 5’6 back up PG that couldn’t create for others and really didn’t dribble well or see the floor good enough....I knew my time was up. My junior year I would’ve been one of the JV kids getting a ton of playing time and probably riding the end of that varsity bench...could’ve been on the last Jackson High School Boys team to win a league title. I knew I wasn’t that good and my replacement happened to be a freshman guard that went on to be one of only 4 JHS players to surpass 1,000 career points. He was going to pass me up soon and I knew it...and I played 2 other sports. My time was over but I wasn’t bitter and neither were my parents. I’ve been to about every JHS game since.

Also fun....Jackson has had 4 1,000 scorers in their 90 years but have had 5 kids transfer in the last 11 years go on to score 1,000 for another school and 6 transfers over the last 20 years score 1,000 for another school.

Welcome to Jackson Nevan and Evan...I’ll be cheering you guys on just like all of your Ironmen teammates.

Great Post and if I’m not mistaken we have an 8th grade transfer as well that came to play football that’s a pretty good basketball player too.
