Some posters on here care more about state championships and making playoffs then the kids at these schools that are getting killed. 
 
Relegation, independent leagues, or freedom of scheduling with no districts is all that’s needed for them. Pick 1. All the same result.  The kids that stay behind at these bottom barrel schools while their friends transfer just want to play football, have that experience, and compete or they would have transferred as well.  Let them freely play other “bad” teams. Not everyone grows to be a D1 athlete. Doesn’t mean they don’t have undersized kids who can play and just enjoy the sport. Scores will be closer and they will have fun. They are kids. That’s all they care about. 10 competitive games. Some years they win and some they don’t. 

The referee scrimmage was also only 2 quarters. It’s a non factor. 
 
Can’t really argue with that top 10 though. I think 3-5 you could flip anywhere you want. The same with 6-10 and have an argument.

I don’t think 1 player makes Stranahan a title contender, but when comparing to Monarch and those types I think they are better. 
 
I mentioned the coordinator. It wasn’t really about Dillard as much as it was I don’t think the other school is going to fall apart because a coordinator left. 

Norland has gotten Champagnat’s starting QB from last season and several other transfers. They will be good.  I expect Dillard to be really good, but I couldn’t start them above Western or Heritage Plantation. Show me (they should). I don’t know about the rest of the team, Stranahan has 1 of the best players in the country.  They should be better then Monarch.

I have no 1st hand knowledge of Gibbons just people who are around HS sports that I talk to. Gibbons has definitely lost a few guys that seem like starters, but from what I have heard majority were rotational or backups.  The major problem I hear will be line depth in future. They fully expect to compete again though. I know they just had a 6’5 OT transfer in from heritage-Delray also Deerfield starting QB from last year transferred in. He was young and pretty good.  If he is willing to go from starter to backup he must see them as having a future and waiting it out. 

Deerfield still has a bunch of kids. Just going to be younger this season. They have had some guys transfer in like 2 different QBs just no big time guys. They won’t be what they have been, but this isn’t a Hallandale situation like last season.  I feel bad for all these skill position players transferring to Dillard or some that were already there.  Whoever is telling them to go to Dillard is messing them up. The top guys will be ok, but won’t be enough playing time for all these guys. Their roster of skills is going to be huge. That’s why Gibbons started losing so many players this season. Most were backups who went there thinking they would shine on a championship team and then saw no time.

Larry Blustein just put an article up of South Florida Transfers.  It’s incomplete as a bunch of minor guys I’ve heard of are missing, but it is probably the best list your going to find.  Shows the Park Vista guys. Park Vista coach was let go and families weren’t happy it seemed from reports, so not surprising they left. Monarch isn’t exactly around the corner for them though. 

Monarch has gotten double digit transfers this year. 5-6 from Park Vista alone and then 4-5 the past week from other schools on top of a bunch others from before spring until now from around the county.  They got a bunch before last season as well.

About 33 Public high schools in Broward, lowest population 1200. Most around 2500 kids. Western has 4,000 and Cypress Bay 5,000. That’s why Texas schools are so large. Imagine if you just cut a few schools from the county how large they would be.  That isn’t even counting small charters or private schools that make all the 2A to 4A schools in Broward. 

Off the top if my head, I can’t name the teams, but a couple HS games were played at the new stadium this season. 

Most of the teams in Miami don’t even want it from what I hear. Seems I was wrong at 1st they do keep games as even as possible outside top 8. I hear more complaints from coaches about it though then I do good things. I guess it’s the being forced to hold games for it instead of schedule who you want at end of season to get ready for playoffs or send your kids off with a game you want. 

A lot of blowouts last night. Miami Killian up 49-0 over St. Brendans at half and St. Brenden’s forfeited at half. Could have been just as bad. A smaller program like St. Brendans loses 2-4 kids to transfer. Really hurts. Then Killian brings in like 20 transfers. It’s just not a good scenario. 

Impossible to stop kids from talking to other kids or guys just wanting to transfer to bigger programs/winning problems. What they need to crack down on are specific things that coaches do
1. If being paid or a volunteer coach, you can not be part of an all star 7s team. Do one with your own team. 
2. You can not run a sports based summer college tour like a side business and take kids from other schools. 
3. You can not follow players from other teams on social media.  A few do it for the right reasons. Most do it to plant the seed even if they never say a word. 
 
Public schools are just as guilty for all the above  #4 more private  
4. Stop allowing private schools to hold clinics and showcases on campus. Public schools are told that if they even mention their sports program to 8th grade visitors it’s a violation.  
 
I don’t even know if these are enforceable in anyway, but they seem to be the most common forms of recruiting that lead to transfers that I see outside of kids just talking to each other. 

The 35 pt. Running clock doesn’t kick in until the 2nd half.

Then Deerfield Coach released this statement. 

From people talking, seems like they were able to get 25-30 kids together, but they found out last couple days like 15-20 of them weren’t eligible.  So, those kids wouldn’t be eligible anywhere else regardless. They have a picture online of a practice a week ago that shows about 25 kids, so that story kind of fits.  
 
In general though, if your school doesn’t have a particular sport then you can file and play at nearest school or zone school that has that sport without actually transferring.  It is usually helps kids at small charters or education centers that want to play sports. 

Hallandale was at the BCAA media day and had 5 kids in the picture. Lauderdale already announced they scheduled someone else and the Heritage game that was canceled is week 4 or 5, so definitely not Covid related. Maybe they are trying to get kids cleared to play JV or back end of V schedule. Either way it is sad that transfers could affect a program this way. I mean they are a 5A public school not some small charter or anything.
