Randman5000 4,277 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I think he really screwed up transferring. Didn't know about all of the high school transfers. Best of luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,304 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 I’m pretty sure he just transferred twice in high school. Out once and then back to his original school in Kentucky. But yeah 2 transfers in 2 years of college is not a recipe for success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the article interesting that he left looking for competition and then never saw the floor. 😆 Well I guess he was able to see how he measured up.

Cardin Drake 2,085 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 It's a well known fact that JP's are repulsed by Knoxville. I sure wouldn't go there if those were my initials. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 2,262 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 He was so talented before his injury. I was so sorry that his physical issues undercut his opportunity at Auburn, and apparently limited his opportunities at UT as well. I know he desperately wants to play, but I think maybe he needs to move on in his life with new goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,781 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 His father is heavily involved in all the transfers. I felt like Powell really wanted to stay at Auburn but Daddy jerked him out. At some point, Justin is going to have to tell Daddy to go fly a kite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steeleagle 2,945 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Is it it true he’s will have been to 7 different HSs and colleges now once he transfers again? somethings not right w his family handling if it’s all about basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 9,091 Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 His dad is definitely a helicopter parent. Gonna be a high level of resentment on JP’s side if this doesn’t get resolved his last 2 years. Wishing the best for dude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish him the best and do wonder how much of it has to do with the injuries. I get some the jest, but don't think it's worth all the piling on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, one of them will be whichever school he transfers to next, as the person who asked the question clearly stated, "once he transfers again." No idea about the extra two high schools.

TigerStripe 36 Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 I actually grew up in Goshen, KY, for a bit, and JP went to the same schools I attended. That was part of the reason I was so excited when he signed. Having made it out many years ago and then looking back on where folks ended up, I think there's something weird about that place. It's a fairly well to do suburb of Louisville and so many of the kids I went to school with either ended up in jail or made questionable life decisions despite having the cards stacked in their favor, and I thought some of these kids were fairly smart and came from good families. For context, Oldham County in KY has one of the best public school systems in the state. So, JP's arc seems to be fairly common for kids from that area, and I have to wonder if that environment is a contributing factor. JP's story is actually better than most from Goshen as most kids never make it out of there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
