People are gonna talk about the school(s) they know about.
I will say this about Piper: their head coach has made a lot of enemies in the county. He's been seen at other team's spring games in May and then magically, a player from the school he was at winds up transferring to Piper shortly thereafter. I know the coach from Boyd Anderson doesn't like him. And I've seen him get into Twitter spats with the coaches at Deerfield.
As for how they'll do on the field, I think they'll be much more improved. They'll compete for one of the 4 wild card spots in 8A Region 3 (as overrated as I think Deerfield Beach is, I still think they'll easily win that district). I think Piper can has a ceiling of 8-2 (losing to STA and DB) and a floor of 5-6 losses (add Norland, Chaminade, Boyd Anderson and Naples to the other 2).
