You gonna go out and recruit that player too??? I hear GA Moore is looking to get back into football if you need an "advisor" for your athletic department.

Im just wondering but will the UIL allow this?? Will he have to go to austin or wherever to try to even play sports? Because when you just read it on paper it seems as if hes doing it for athletic reasons. Can someone fill me in on this.

If he is allowed to do this I would think that the UIL should never in the future declare another player ineligible.

Only problem with this statement is that Jasper never won that 3A title. No doubt you guys and Cuero will be the two teams to beat going into the season, but it's not only about talent. Lady luck has to be on your side, too.

I don't see this happening. GJ plays in Canton or somewhere in the Waco area. How in the world do you explain this transfer other than to say it is for athletic purposes? Dad took a job in the Waco area and everybody knows it. It would be impossible to explain why this kid would transfer ever further away from him. Just won't make sense. If the UIL is stubborn enough to keep the Moye kid off the playing field last year after being displaced by the hurricane then they won't think twice about denying GJ Kinne the right to play this fall. Just my $.02.

This doesn't clear anything up. You and I both know this is a pile of compost in the making. I can't believe that the UIL will be stupid enough to let this one slip through.

Until I see proof (which by my standards is an article in the "Gilmer Mirror"), I'm not believing any of this. I think this is all a perfect example of how the rumor mill can spiral completely out of control.
Besides, let's say "God Forbid" Kinney doesn't come to Gilmer. Don't forget that we have one hell of a good kid in that position already. Let's see. We won 10 games last year and lost 2. I think Jamell Kennedy has proven (to me at least) that he can win games at the QB position.

I'm sticking with Jamell until I'm given no other choice!:thumbsup:

I thought it was the district that voted for him not to be able to play. And in another thread someone explained how GJ was getting threats from the son of the guy who shot his dad.

I like Jamall and he did a great job last year . But then i was thinking how good this could be for the team if only they would come together as a team and do what ever it takes to win .Like Manuel was a Receiver and then changed to QB look how good it turned out for him he was thinking about the team. And as for as G.J i can see how he would want to get away from canton because of the Trouble with his dad getting shot and the son of the man that did the shooting would be out to get him. I just hope the best for them both G.J has been through a lot and Jamall Had a great year and will be great this year also.

I've heard this part of the argument several times now, and I think I'm clear. It's the KID of the guy who shot GJ's dad that is making the threats against GJ. Up until now, I was to understand that some sort of mafia was being run in Canton. But now that I have all the facts, I can make an educated decision concerning any truth to the rumors, and I'll say:

Colonel Mustard
Lead Pipe
Conservatory

GJ Kinne plays football at..................................Trinidad High School next season.

do you all seriously have nothing better to do than to pry into a family's decision about where their son should go to school? Is this China or North Korea? Get over it.. If he wanted to attend a private school or a 2A non contender you wouldn't have a problem with it.. You who oppose a family's decision about their child's future, whether it be educational, agricultural(some do transfer for this purpose believe it or not) or athetic purposes are hypocrites. I only hope you are not judged someday as harshly as you have judged. May God be with you all.

I have absolutely no problem with any family's decision on where the children attend school, Gilmer or not. If there have been threats against him, then his safety should be of the utmost concern by both his parents. My only issue at all with this situation is the appearance of the school board being held "hostage" (for lack of a better word) with the choice of coach, as stated on his website. What is said on there leads a person to believe that Coach Kinne's replacement is the concern of the family, NOT G.J.'s safety.

But no........you'll come on here with one blanket statement tossing "God" around and start flaming everyone else who has an opinion on a website made for expressing opinions!

And yes Buckeye80, I did play on the last playoff team before Traylor arrived. We were ranked #2 in the state for most of the year before losing to Forney in Mesquite in the Quarterfinals and the previous year to Southlake Carrol in Mesquite. If you need any other info about me.... don't hesistate to ask.

Just support Harmony this year if you don't agree with a kid or his family's "right to choose". I can't believe this is even up for debate.. we are talking about choices here. Open up your eyes. He will have a choice about where to attend college, who to date, what to eat for lunch but he can't choose where he wants to attend school which will be his fundamental basis for the rest of his life? An athletics "could" turn out to be his profession so it is no different than a kid with asperations to be a professional in field such as law or medicine and choosing a school which best suits his/her needs.

Agreed! :thumbsup:

Very valid point LH Panther Mom but just because of a statement on his website doesn't mean it is the way it appears. Consider this... he un-enrolled the moment his father left for Baylor. This was because of the threats he had been receiving from a number of individuals. The man who was found guilty for the shooting was from Canton and has deep ties, mostly shady ones, not even counting his son. G.J. is a coach's son who really has no one school where he can call home. He was only stating that he wanted the current coaching staff to remain in some capacity on his website because those coach's were his family and support system while at Canton. His mother and stepfather only moved to Canton after SR. was shot. From day one, the town didn't like G.J. because he came in a freshman and was handed the reins to a team that hadn't made the playoffs in a decade. It ruffled many feathers because most of the locals thought he just had to be playing favorites with his son but by looking at his stats.... who could argue. He has never been accepted there even after having 3 exceptional years because of jealousy and envy. It really is a sad situation and it happens in many many small towns.

The man who was found guilty for the shooting was from Canton and has deep ties, mostly shady ones, not even counting his son. G.J. is a coach's son who really has no one school where he can call home. He was only stating that he wanted the current coaching staff to remain in some capacity on his website because those coach's were his family and support system while at Canton. His mother and stepfather only moved to Canton after SR. was shot.

You're preaching to the choir when it comes to "coach's kid" and what they go through many times when moving to new schools. That in itself is bad enough, without the added problems due to the shooting. I'm nowhere close to the situation to know what all has gone on....just what I read and "appearances" can many times be deceiving.

I just hope the kid does get to play somewhere... but there's no question this will turn into a battle of whether or not it was for athletic purposes etc... if he did move for athletic purposes and was allowed to play I sure as hell would feel bad for Moye!!!

Even if it were for athletic purposes and it was proven, you kinda get the feeling that the UIL would step in and make sure he played because of the sympathy-factor from his father getting shot... hate sympathy votes... may sound cold-hearted, but that's not fair... people shouldn't get shot and people shouldn't gain advantages over others via sympathy...

Awesome athlete, though, wish him nothing but success...

And I'm not prying into anything (not saying you're saying I am)... just giving my opinion on a subject that is right infront of my face...

That would be amazing to see him at Gilmer though, I'm not gunna vote but I will say it'd be hard to imagine them not being in the semis if what I hear about the rest of the team is true...

Moye's situation was and is different than Kinne's in that he enrolled at Lufkin immediately after Rita hit. He practiced with them and then he decided to enroll at Diaboll where his aunt, i believe, is an administrator of some sort. If he would have stayed at Lufkin he would have played but maybe he thought the talent there was 2 deep. Just different circumstances but I do know that the UIL has been informed and involved with this every step of the way by way of the Kinne family. Kinne's family contacted Gilmer's coach by phone only last Saturday just to difuse any talk of recruitment. I can also tell you coach Traylor is making no concessions for him and even told him he can't wear his precious #1 jersey because that number is not offered at Gilmer because they are a team and the number, he believes, signifies individuality. Kinne did not have a problem with that.

I'm not saying that is why he's moving... am just throwing out opinions on things here...

I like the no #1 deal, Cuero doesn't have a #1 either, and the name of the back of the jersey is Gobblers!!!

oh well

I only hope that when "someday" comes and I am to be judged, I can claim as flawless and pure of a moral slate as you undoubtedly will.

I'm too old for this!!:foul:

Nutcrackin,

Now find anything in this post I've quoted for you that relates to the incoherent rambling you responded with. You wanna debate with big words or small ones? I had the same high school education that you did.
And as to "having you fooled", what the hell does that even mean? I'm not trying to fool anyone. My opinion doesn't agree with your opinion, so I should start supporting Harmony?

Don't you dare question my hometown loyalty!!:mad: You know nothing about me except the few posts of mine that you read! I embarrass the "orange and black"? That's the lowest thing to say to another Buckeye.

We're talking about pure speculation in this thread. Everyone who has responded has offered their opinion on this speculation except for you. You came in and immediately began flaming everyone for something that never even took place! My opinion is not your opinion. Get over it and let's be pals! ;)

We could've really used that arm. Oh well! I guess we're stuck with old "chopped liver" what's-his-name at QB.

Buckeye 80,
I know you think this is funny and you are just trying to get a few chuckles from this board... i really don't care. Keep the personal antagonistic remarks, jokes or whatever you want to call them off of message boards that are read by the STUDENT / athletes. This is no way for someone 44 yrs. of age to act. Let's think about what this young man has been through and just be supportive with HIS and HIS FAMILY'S decision to move on from a tragic piece of their lives. By the way our education may have been at the same school but furthering ones education is the difference between you and I. If you want to be a good Buckeye, then be supportive not confrontational.

Notice a severe change in rhetoric? You, in the beginning, didn't believe the post because it was a rookie poster. Also you mentioned that until it's in the "Big Gilmer Mirror" which only puts out 2 issues a week, you won't believe it. That also,I believe, has changed since it is known that he is enrolling on Monday and quite possibly could play a little baseball.

Honestly, am I wrong for trying to inject a little humor into the site? I know the last post was unadulterated sarcasm, but before that, was anyone except "nutcrackin" offended by my comments? Tell me honestly! I can take it. And I'll quit if y'all are worried that I might hurt someone's widdle feewins.

Dude, I've been havin' Hell with this crazy guy. He's using big words like "rhetoric" and "the".

Seriously, read what you've missed and tell me if I'm wrong, because I honestly don't know what happened to cause all of this.

Jeff Traylor will make the right calls. he will not put what he has built at GHS on the line, and for that i will sleep well tonight.

The voice of reason on a very hectic thread! Very well put Sir!

That guy just got under my skin with all of the "fatherly advice" crap. I'm a very very sarcastic person in case you couldn't tell, and I can't communicate well in a serious way.

You may find yourself mediating between us some of the time in the future. Maybe Manck can spell you from time to time.

As for the Kinne thing, all we can do is wait and see.

Big Daddy is right about the fact you have to have a certain amount of luck. Injuries, the bad call that costs you a game, an untimely fumble, etc. I remember we were very fortunate when we won state in baseball a few years ago with Adrian Alaniz pitching. We were fortunate in the first game in the semis to get the team that had the top hitters because we let Adrian pitch against them and held them to 1 run and won the game. That was Abilene Wylie. Forney had a great pitcher but he had to pitch a lot against Lorena in the semis that Forney won in extra innings. We had a second pitcher who was outstanding and he pitched against Forney and got a shutout and we won State by beating Forney 5 to 0 but the timing and the games were a factor in our favor. The next year we weren't so lucky but I won't go into that.
