FLA TOP 10

[DisabledAccount]

I would if I thought they were but I don't know that they are the best in Fl. Look at these national powerhouse schools in other states, parents move their kids from other states to those schools from all over just to play somewhere that they can get national acclaim. Heck it happens around our state with parents moving into another district just so their son can be on a team with more talent or better coaching. I'm sure there are kids at Columbia whose parents moved them there to be part of that program and the parent just have a long commute to work. By the way this doesn't have anything to do with a school recruiting players just parents doing whats best for their kid.

Yeah we have had a few that have moved to be here but if we did as much as img they would be crying foul and saying we are cheating, and truthfully they need to either make a national playoffs or stop with these "fictional" champions

If Columbia did as much as IMG they would not be eligible for post-season play and Independent.  - Just like IMG.

You telling me if Columbia brought in as many transfers and out of state players as img they wouldn't say we were cheating?

[DisabledAccount]

Are you even going to respond to the national playoff I mentioned?

[BrowardHandicapper]

Yes.  I am telling you that if Columbia did exactly as IMG and was Independently classified like IMG - NO ONE WOULD SAY COLUMBIA WAS CHEATING.

IMG opted out of the FHSAA system playoffs because they wanted to play a highly competitive national teams versus locally which would do very little for them.  IMG is considered an Independent team.  I believe there are 80 - 100 Independent teams in FL.  That said, should we not include ANY Independent teams?

 

And I don't like img because they show what's wrong with sports now. People would rather join a super team then to build a team from the bottom to the top, what happened to worst to first and making school history, not just high school, you see this in college and in nba and mlb, would be like that in nfl had it not been for the salary cap

 

 

IMG doesn't recruit to be good they recruit to make athletes really good so they can come back and train with them when they are pros. IMG is strictly a farm in other words

Lmao!!!

[BrowardHandicapper]

Yes, I will respond to the question below but I don't understand the question...what are you asking?  

Ok I see the point but tell me that no one would make them number 1 team in nation?

 

I can tell you that more that there are more national polls that DO  include IMG than do not include IMG.

[DisabledAccount]

Broward answer me this who would be more deserving of a national title, a 10-0 img team or a 15-0 STA team?

Do you think that a national playoff format after the state championships are played would give us a better view on who deserves to be named "national champion"?

Sure... but it is pretty much not fiscally possible.

What if espn were to provide transportation to the game for the teams in return for televising it?

[DisabledAccount]

Im saying hypothetically but it could be better then guessing who the best is

[BrowardHandicapper]

Broward answer me this who would be more deserving of a national title, a 10-0 img team or a 15-0 STA team?

It depends on the parameters of the poll and the schedule strength of both teams.  Ideally, you would love to see that match to settle the debate !  Those schools could actually afford to rent their own neutral stadium.

That is a start.  Is ESPN willing to also pick up insurance, security, and the stadium rental fee?

Can teams schedule games after the season like that?

[BrowardHandicapper]

Can teams schedule games after the season like that?

To my knowledge it varies state to state.  Currently there are very few that can do so.

Is Florida one of them?

As a coach that has lost a couple of players to IMG I can tell you that the Florida kids that go to IMG are not concerned with winning a championship.  They are going there to be in a collegiate atmosphere whole still in school.  They go to school 4 hours a day.  Dedicate the rest to their craft.  They even have them take classes on mental toughness and preparedness.  IMG is a factory, if you can afford the 67k, awesome.  If you can earn a scholarship, awesome.  They can not recruit every kid in Florida, so I can live with the few they do steal, and they do not pretend to be anything other than what they are.

yeah. IMG recruits more out of state players then they do florida players, the majority of this season's roster are from Ohio, Texas and California
