Not sure if you intended this as a joke, but HAHA anyway.  As a running back he did a decent job, but their primary weapon on the ground (Moulton) had triple the yards and returns for his senior year.  Heck, even the QB Risk out gained him.  As far as his defensive prowess, the stats show he had 2 tackles in 13 games so not convinced it is a huge get for Monarch.  Plus most likely a team like Gibbons have added weapons you may not know about that will lessen his role even more, thus a smart move to look for a bigger role on a lesser team on his part.

Well with his size (even with it being inflated), he needs as many touches as he can get. In other words, he needs film. I guess he chose a different rout than the well traveled QB from A.H. Plantation, Aquinas and Cardinal Newman... LOL. Playing Time > Education. At least the QB jumped from one great private education to another.

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. 

I do remember they got quite a few last year but I didn't realize they got that many from Park Vista

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.

Too bad Monarch isn’t playing an OOS games but horrible teams like Coral Glades and West Broward are. 
 

Hell West Broward is playing the top team from Tennessee. About to get a 50 point ass stomping to go with that mountain sight seeing 

If Coral Glades could keep their talent in house and not get raided they would probably be a mid tier Broward county team

Ralston Valley CO went 9-3 and finished top 10 in Colorado. And they are playing Colonial FL who didn’t even finish top 400 in FL alone 

Chatfield won the state title in CO and finished top 5 in state. And they are playing Pt St Lucie who didn’t finish top 200 here.

Colorado best team probably would get waxed by any FL top 100 team 

 

They barely beat our weakest teams

Not true. Their top team can compete with the national top 100.

Ridley PA went 12-2 last year and scheduled to play 0-10 Taravella who lost 91-0 last year. 
 

Now why the hell would you think to play freaking Taravella? Why would you pay thousands of dollars to travel and play a team who would get beat by a lot of JV teams? 
 

It’s the KSA events fault. They give the applications to the OOS teams and they start with the worst teams until someone agrees to play. 
 

But you have to blame the OOS coach for being a puss. And you have to blame the FL coach for agreeing to play a team way out of their league. It’s just stupid to have that mindset

Funniest thing is when the matchups end up leading to close games

 

If some of the worst teams in FL can compete what would happen if it was a top 100 or top 50 team in Florida

That happened this past year. 11-1 Dakota Ridge beat 0-10 First Coast by 3 points!

First Coast going 0-10 was a little surprising as they had some talent but any top 100 team in Florida beats Dakota Ridge pretty badly

I just think when you seek out the worst opponent then that shows what character you have. I don’t want my son being led by a coward. This isn’t about trying to find the toughest opponent possible for a guaranteed loss. The issue is the mindset. Seeking the worst of the worst. 
 

When you travel to Orlando and out of all the teams you could possibly play you pick freaking Colonial, University, Freedom and Windermere, that tells me you are a coward that shouldn’t be leading young men

Taravella literally has lost all its top talent from a team that was already 0-10. OT to Monarch, DE to Westminster , DT to Heritage Plantation, WR to Flanagan as well as other guys minor guys leaving. HC is or was leaving for Out if State job and they didn’t even play a spring game with all this going on.  If it’s true they are still playing an OOS team I question who made that call.

Thankfully the game fell through because Ridley is no longer traveling. But someone should have called the Ridley coach out. Why would you want some weak coward like that leading your son? It stinks of cowardice. Like I said it’s not about scheduling IMG or you are a coward. It the mindset that these coaches have that they need to find the worst of the worst. It’s a sorry mindset to have. You shouldn’t be leading young men with that mindset

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
