2024 season just a few short months away. How everybody been? & how everybody feeling about their teams chances this upcoming year?

Understandable. I love the school choice idea. It will only help public schools. Once the privates take enough kids, the public schools could tighten ship and only keep the best teachers. It will be addition by subtraction

Of the 26, only 6 came from in-state schools. Not good. Tells me all the best players are leaving the state.

Who were elected in the draft. 257 picks would make it about 10 percent of the entire draft. I don’t count out of state IMG guys who spent a few months of their entire life at a world sports academy located in FL. 26 Floridians. Nice haul. Was hoping for 30, but it should be good enough for top 3 in the country

Might not be. Booker T. doesn't travel well and we don't know if Lakeland will bring people. Either way both are good matches

Broward has a lot of under utilized public school space right now, they are talking about actually closing some schools at various levels. I think the charters and private schools are taking many of the kids these days.

Ok updated. Surprising that more public schools haven’t opened with all the new people that come to FL. I read something that 1,000 per day moved here in 2023

Central (Milton) will field their first varsity team this year. They are assigned to Rural, Region 1.

I agree, both games will be filled forsure.

Wow this is news to me. Coach Ice always loves the challenge & knows how to develop so Im not surprised.

KIPP is new and will be fielding a team for sure. Sarasota Christian and Old Plank are moving up from SSAA 8-Man to SSAA 11-Man Innovation in Orlando will be the newest public high school in the state. In 2026 Sounside in Gulf Breeze will open as the Soundside Hurricanes. First new school in Santa Rosa County in 25 years when Navarre opened in 2001.

Wow so BTW is traveling to both Vero and Lakeland this year that's nuts

Have to see how the transfer class comes together. Probably underdogs at Traz vs. the Rockets and favorites at home vs. BTW. Of course, both games could go either way.

lol how you feeling bout you guys chances?

I think it’s embarrassing to try and get credit for a kid who lived in Florida for one year of his entire life. That’s cringey and embarrassing

That’s exactly what I’m saying. IMG isn’t even a Florida high school. They are a world sports academy located in Florida. If a Florida native who played for IMG was drafted, Florida would get credit because he is a native.

Nolebull, is that your way of saying that a kid from out-of-state that shows up and plays for IMG for a year or two doesn't really qualify as a "Florida kid?" If so, I agree 100%.
