With the rise of social media, kids don’t need to be illegally recruited. They know where the hot hand is. They know what coaches have the connections and where the coaches will be at. Plus kids recruits other kids. They all star stack. I’m not saying they should, I’m just saying these kids all attend the same camps, tourneys etc. they talk. They know the process.

So your saying if a team has like 15 transfers in one season, I need to have like a team of investigators and video tape to realize that the coach is recruiting. Come on. The truth is all of the super teams recruit and yes some players come because of the winning culture. I know its impossible to get full proof on everyone that cheats and even when they do have evidence and catch teams red handed like Winter Park.....NOTHING HAPPENED. Its the reason they should have competitive promotion and demotion so all the super teams who do bend (CHEAT) the rules get to beat each other up.

I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ? Wake up and take your blinders off

Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element. There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it. Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired. They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it. The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school. I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?

Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.

They definitely would have been competitive. They had a really good and really young OL coming back. They also had settled into a pattern of getting plenty of transfers.

I have a question for all of you guys. Before all the turmoil happened with Lake Minneola were they even going to be competitive this year

And just wait until NIL is enacted at the high school level.

You right. Down year or not if Ice has anything to do with it Booker T. ain't running from nobody

This is theoretically the answer but it will never work.

Theoretically -- great. Just have to get around those pesky school choice/school voucher state laws.

Yeah, I think seeing the game disappear from maxpreps caused me to overreact. I know the Tornadoes are coming and they're coming to win. I just hope we don't let 'em

Ok I was gonna say. I had talked to my lil brother & he said they was still heading up there despite rumors. Good stuff, the T aint ducking no smoke

Idea: make recruiting legal for all schools AND enforce a full year of sitting out for transfers. So, you can recruit the middle school kids-ok, the parents- all you want. But, transfers aren't worth sweating over because they'll have to sit a year out, effectively ending senior year transfers.

shocking if true. Just goes to show you that, in an era of unlimited transferring with instant eligibility, ANY program could go from great to awful- and vice versa- in the blink of an eye. There almost aren't any real PROGRAMS left. No one is sticking around long enough to be developed in the specific ways of a program. It's terribly sad.

Football isn't the kind of sport where you can just walk the halls and assemble a team. You can get a couple decent kids maximum that way. The rest of the student body would be putting their health at risk if they decided to "go out" for football.

Post the link to the cheating please

When you right you right fam. At the end of the day. Anybody in dade, broward or palm beach know bout Dillard and know we don’t duck no team home or away. We down to line up any day. but none of that puts points on the score board or guarantee victory. You can be ready and confident all you want, but if your team doesn’t have the personnel to match a national power house who gets in loads of transfers year and year out, 9/10 that score is going to be fairly lopsided. and as much as I bleed Dillard day and night, and as much as it pains me to say. Dillard is not in Miami central, norland, sta, or chaminades league going into the this upcoming season. Let them beat up on each other. I believe this is a perfect schedule for Dillard if they’re atleast still an above avg program they should win this district with ease and have no more then 2 loses this year. if not and they struggle even with this schedule then Dillard as a program is most def going backwards and I would hate that for my Alma mater.

I agree with you on everything you said. Why play these powerhouses and get the butt kicked out of you. Yes you're not running away from good opponents, however what does a 63-0 loss due to the morale of a bunch of young men.

Welcome to the new wonderful wild west of high school football in Florida. We need to create a new position at each school. Recruiting coordinator. Because that is the only way to win big in this state now at the highest levels. The haves can turn into have not by losing one cheater coach.

There are zero coaches on campus, every single coach left
