Transfers 2017

The Haitian population in Orlando has exploded over the last 15 to 20 years. When I moved to Orlando at the end of 1990 there weren't many. Back then it was mostly Jamaicans. I would say that in Greater Orlando there are now at least as many Haitians as Jamaicans, possibly more. I have become a big fan of the Haitian version of Rice and Beans.

Heellll yeeaaahhh you already know we Haitians throw that diri ak pwa down i told the Jamaicans at my job that we do it better LOL

Proseteye,

As a St. Pete Catholic alumni, yes- we've had some good to very good football teams in the 1990's and early 2000's. The 2004 SPC team was amazing with Rb Jock Sanders and QB Billy Tapp. The 2001 team with Chris Davis at Qb was very strong as well. SPC's 2013 8-4 team was the last team I would consider "good" as they made the regional finals. Even the 2002 SPC team with QB Gary Fiegel and RB Deondra Lindsey was competitive in games against teams not named CCC or Jesuit.

I think coaching has something to do with it, as the coaches SPC has had the past 5-7 years have been successful at other programs; however, haven't been able to do much with the Baron program. I'm sure if John Davis. John Brantley or a Verlon Dorminey were at St. Pete Catholic with time and resources they could turn the program into a respectable program, but the foundation isn't there right now to breed a competitive program. If I saw twitter correctly, when Brooks transferred to CCC, the Barons only had 9 kids in the weightroom and 11 on the roster total.

I just think it's strange that St. Pete Catholic's coach enrolls his son into CCC, leaves SPC and is trying to land an assistant coaching job at CCC. If twitter is accurate, most of the SPC kids will be transferring to CCC in the coming days, forcing SPC to probably drop football for at least Spring and re-evaluate the program in Fall. When the position opens, I'm curious who applies for it.

I'm pondering a couple of things. Since SPC currently has only 378 students do they belong in 3A? I would think they should be in 1A or an Independent. Also, the school seems to pride itself academically. Possibly the curriculum and community service requirement  may be too difficult for the team players to keep up with. It's very sad that the team could end up closing down this year.

    • 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. 
    • It's possible that they find their stride by week 5, but at the moment we just don't have the on-paper talent to compete with teams like Miami NW, IMG National, Cocoa, or Bishop Verot. If Venice can find a way to go 7-3 with that schedule I would be happy

    • Just wait till spring is over and the top RB in the area will take his talent to 1 Indian Ave. 
    • This will be an interesting story to follow.  Venice has no proven RB headed in to spring which will be a first for a long time.  They have produced several Dairy Farmers player of the years in that position.  They also will have a massive offensive line with 2 three year starters who return as well as some stud young kids.  They will probably average around 6'4 295 on the line which is huge for Venice standards.  I just wonder if this will change before the start of the season.  I still fell like someone will show up.
