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.

Four guys from Florida draft in the first round. Pretty good.

If you didn’t see something happen then how do you know it really happened? People lie. If you weren’t witness to it then you don’t know for sure. I told my son when he is in history class and they ask a question like “What country did Napeoleon Bonaparte invade in 1812?” His answer should be “I don’t know, I wasn’t there!”

If a company opened up and they hired someone from elite private institutions from South Florida, and someone from Franklin County which is one of the worst schools in the country cried that it was unfair, should the company create a department specifically for people who came from failing public schools from the middle of nowhere? yes or no and why?

It would weed out the bad teams that are not championship material. The cream would rise to the top. So once the the teams ranked in the 400’s and 500’s were gone after the first round like they should be, it would start to get to the point only good teams are left. The last couple rounds would be the best of the best. One true state champion. Watering down the classes and letting teams who normally would have no business winning a title advance further than they should is like letting a toddler hold a fake steering wheel and pretend he’s driving. It’s not real. And it doesn’t prepare the kids for real life. It makes them think they are better than they really are.

Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

I like it if there is only 4 classes

I like the match. An entire COUNTY against a small little Catholic school. Toss up.

We should do the other thing I suggested. Everyone makes the playoffs. 5 week regular season/ 9 week playoff after the 5 weeks. Seed the teams by wins. All the 5 wins teams start out playing the 0 win teams. If there are more 5 win teams than 0 win teams, then you take the 1 win teams with the worst opponent win % until you fill the slots. Playoffs 512 teams - round 1 256 teams left - round 2 128 teams left - round 3 64 teams left - round 4 32 teams left - round 5 16 teams left - round 6 8 teams left - quarterfinals 4 teams left - semifinals 2 teams left - championship 1 true state champion

Glad to see they cancelled that Gonzaga game. It would have been an embarrassment
