Am curious, does anyone have stories of a kid who was not on the radar, transferred, and then got a Power 5 scholarship who likely would not have not gotten that scholarship if he had not transferred?
Appreciate the response.
...my original question..."Am curious, does anyone have stories of a kid who was not on the radar, transferred, and then got a Power 5 scholarship who likely would not have not gotten that scholarship if he had not transferred?"
As a sophomore, I think it is a bit too early to tell if this kid would/would not have gotten such offers had he stayed at Monarch at least one more year. If he is really that good, maybe so.
I am looking for cases where, let's say, a kid has finished his junior year, has no recruiting interest from any FBS colleges, no stars, then transfers, gets some stars and lands a Power 5 scholarship(s) his senior year. In other words, am looking for a case(s) where a 3 or 4 star athlete was completely missed by the Power 5 schools his first 3 years simply because the school he had been attending did not have a big name program. That would be a compelling case for the benefits of transferring.
Concerning opening up doors...guess it depends what doors he/his family want opened. ...doors for a pro football career? Realistically, I don't think a 5'10" white/latin kid is making the NFL as a CB or WR. Of the 175 cornerbacks in the NFL, 170 are black. Nor do I think he has a very good chance of starting at CB or WR for a Power 5 school. Probably has a better chance of playing at a smaller school, so is getting a scholarship to one of the big names really buying him anything other than a place on the bench?
...doors for a better education? Say the kid would not have been able to get an academic scholarship to Vanderbilt and football gets him there. That could be a positive. But if he pursues an engineering or other technical degree, he may very well struggle to keep up with his studies AND expectations of the football coach and bomb out. An engineering degree from Vandy..that will buy you something in the workplace. ...a general studies degree..probably no more valuable than the same degree staying home and going to FIU.
Not sure how this topic turned to race but here we are....- Again
Are you suggesting that your evaluation of the kid’s skin color holds more weight then power five recruiters evaluation of the kid’s skill set?
Maybe UM, Georgia, and Texas don’t know talent well and just like throwing scholarships at 10th graders for fun?
Just read your response please... You are talking like you know this kid’s academic and athletic limitations. It is almost as if you don’t want the kid to succeed athletically or academically. I just don’t get it...

I realize this is subjective. My reason for asking is that a lot of the kids I am thinking of who got Power 5 scholarships already had one before transferring or probably didn't need to transfer to get one.
Here is a quick documented and dated story of a kid that recently was a little under the radar, transferred that may not have had any offers if he had not transferred. Did not have any FBS or FCS offers whatsoever until he transferred from Monarch to STA.Coincidence with the timing of the offers after the transfer from Monarch to STA. I don't think so....
Here is dated proof of STA DB/WR Xavier Restrepo making the move Monarch to STA and the Power 5 offers flying in days later. With all due respect to Monarch, I doubt he is looking back....
Sorry for playing devil's advocate
Does anyone think the young man and his family made a mistake by transferring from Monarch to STA to open up doors for his future?
2020 ATH Xavier Restrepo has transferred from Monarch to St. Thomas Aquinas.
@XavierRestrepo1 was a first-team defense All-County selection as a sophomore.11:39 AM - 28 Dec 2017Extremely blessed to receive my 1st offer from Vanderbilt!!!! SEC!!!!!
@CoachHarriott@SlyJohnson3 such a blessing!!!!2:40 PM - 4 Jan 2018Less then 2 weeks after transferring to St Thomas Aquinas
@XavierRestrepo1 has picked up 4 D1 offers (Louisville, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, And Kentucky)4:49 PM - 5 Jan 2018Now with 6 Power Five Offers according to 247Sports: -
Hats off to Oxbridge Academy and University School for setting up a nice non-district Week 10 match up in Davie .
Fact: Win or lose, 3A Oxbridge Academy, 3A AHD, and 1A Pahokee have the biggest kahunas in PB County. I await a reply from Dwyer fans.

Why you think it is that way?
Is it just the best team happens to be in the district or are the rest not stepping up to challenge them and be a threat to that districts run
Like i think 2011 was last time someone not in that district won state and that championship was forfeited
Well we’ be discussed that district and without repeating the obvious don’t expect much to change anytime soon. There are usually 2 , sometimes 3 teams in that District good enough to win 6A almost every year.

Not necessary but you can admit they are aggressive with pulling in talent this year
Well factor that Carol City is a very established and winning program that many know is returning many of their players. Not a surprise to me that they are attracting players. We all know that historically if you can win that District in the playoffs that you are generally favored to win a state championship.

Look at the gibbons game it was 6-0 Dillard after 1 6-3 Dillard at the halftime after intermission gibbons made adjustments Dillard didn’t it took us 3 games just to score our first half offensive touchdown that’s coaching in 3 of the last 4 postseasons games we only scored 7 0 and 0 that’s coaching our offense have been putrid the last few years. Coaches suppose to be able to scheme and coach to match what you have which in my opinion was some talented athletes.
Well remember that Cardinal Gibbons was a much better team then Dillard last year. Coaching aside , sometimes you also have to be able to play and match a team athletically for 4 quarters to get the W. I just don’t think Dillard lost that game to Cardinal Gibbons because they were out coached.

I can understand your point. @ColumbiaHighFan2017class I agree but the crazy thing is the last 3 years Dillard has not been a bad team by far it has been the coaching and discipline that held them back. Especially offensively. Defense we were atleast average. This coach comes in as a offensive guru so I hear @BrowardHandicapper Do you know if he is bringing in his own staff ?
Not sure if he is bringing his own staff. I thought last year Dillard won all the games they were supposed to for the most part. The games that the lost were pretty much to better teams, not necessarily getting out coached. What can you do....
-
Not sure....There are several others from last year. This year check out WR/DB Xavier Restropo from Monarch to STA and all the power 5 offers that immediately came on...
-
When he transferred to STA he immediately got offers from Oregon and Illinois. He appears to have ultimately committed to Georgia State.

I can think of a few....WR Samuel Oshodi out of Coral Glades from 2017 is one...

I think South Dade may end up not being that good. They already lost the QB to Booker T Washington. Now they lost one of their best defensive players to Southridge. I hear more transfers could be in the making out of South Dade.
Everyone else I think is on point on this list.
I definitely hear ya. Made the list for the present day and added them last minute hoping they can hold what they have and maybe even get a couple in to patch the leak so to speak. Would like to see just one 8A team in Dade be a outside threat to Southridge and Columbus to make things interesting....

I think it was a little less but we did lose a lot and the most alarming part is I have heard of zero transfers that transferd In so far I thought with the HC we got he would attract loads of transfers from other schools like a ice Harris or Mc or mcc or chaninade Head Coach does.
Well, that is saying a lot.....Although the new Dillard HC comes in with what could be viewed as a solid, expecting him to be a magnet at the level of a Ice Harris or a small private power seems like pretty high standards and expectations.

It is we had six home games last year and 4 away so it rotates this year even tho I wish it would just be 5 and 5 like it is 8 and 8 in the NFL.
Seems like they got a HC for the job over there but I think they lose like 15 total starters that were Seniors?

Question about 2017 Recruits
in The Huddle
Posted
I'm not disputing the statistics. I'm wondering how and why you twisted this topic to race?
Keep in mind you are talking about a 15 or 16 year old kid here. The NFL should not even be brought up regardless of race.
Now with this recent post that you have made (which by numbers I am not disputing)...Should we look at all professions in the world, break them down by race and advise our youth to look at other options in many cases?
If you hypothetically had a black son who was excelling in say science, wanted to be a astronaut, and as a tenth grader already had academic scholarship offers would you told tell him that NASA and astronomy was dominated by whites and advise him to consider focusing on another career?
Let me ask you this I happened to use this player as a example be cause I figured it somewhat fit the question/topic. If this player had been black as a 10th grader, would we be this far off topic and at this point in the post right now?
