FLA TOP 10

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.

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

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

 

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.

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"?

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

    • I was actually itching to treat some wager some money on some sports matches that are happening above-board now. I wanted to let you guys identify that I did spot what I ruminate on to be the kindest site in the USA. If you fall short of to get in on the spirit, check it out-moded: [url=https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/]https://pokeronline.guru/online-gambling/[/url]
    • Perhaps the best RB in Tampa Bay iin 2023 saw his program close, and is looking for a home. If he stays in the area,Venice is a good bet. (Lakeland may be as well).
    • And if that same newsletter asked the Osceola County Sheriff Department, what do you think the response would be? If you asked, members of the Chamber of Commerce? (Essentially a union of businesses) If you asked a group of nurses? If you asked a group of lawyers? Also a union cares about the working conditions of their members, but the working conditions of teachers are the learning conditions of students as well. People are attracted to careers because of the values that come with those careers. Political Parties attract people based on their values. So it shouldn't be surprising that certain professions attract certain people in certain careers. You act as if the principal's first question when we have a 5,000+ teachers shortage in this state is "who do you vote for? And are you a member of the union?"
    • I feel like y'all are always solid so I don't see y'all going no worse than 7-3. Biggest question mark for Cocoa is their O-line since they are only returning 1 and on the defensive side they only return their blue chip edge in their front 7 
    • Coach Wiseman, let me just preface this by saying that you were the best HC Sarasota's program has had in the last 20+ years. You brought them from being a perpetual losing program to the doorstep of competing with Venice for a district title and a deep playoff run. SHS will curse the day they fired you now that they are back in a rut. You are a true class act, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.  Our backfield is certainly sparse right now. We do have Dorian Jones, a rising sophomore runningback whom did considerably well considering his limited playing time last season. Our offense will need an overhaul with the graduation of 3 offensive linemen and almost our entire receiving corps. Our defensive line will be strong with the return of Ke'shawn Vaughn, Elijah Jones, and Asharri Charles. Our linebacking corps graduates virtually everybody but should have at least one bright spot with the return of Ben Zarkawiecz. Our defensive backfield is still a work in progress with the graduation of Lester and Platt. At the moment, we have more question marks than exclamation points. And that's not a good feeling with the kind of competition Venice is going to face.
