This is interesting... thoughts?

 

Damn let the games begin I guess.    If you ain't texting, you ain't trying!    Honestly it's kind of messed up, but I'm sure this sort of thing is going to be happening a lot more now with the new rules.   Look on the bright side, there are going to be some good teams out there in random places!

It seems pretty normal to me for players to recruit for their teams. I don't know if there's anything you can do about it. If it was a coach that sent that message, which it doesn't appear to be, it is obviously wrong to do so.

 

I don't think there is a way to control players and parents recruiting for your school, and those are the avenues most coaches who recruit will go through. Maybe a coach can't entice little johnny to come to school "B", but your players, or parents or friends of the program can without penalty.

Players talk to each other all the time everybody knows everybody and this is going to happen everywhere.  As long as no coaches or school officials are involved then all is okay.  I don't see it as an issue unless it can be proven that a coach was involved but I would guess the kid that showed this text to his coach isn't planning on going to Trenton.

Actually if i read the fhsaa rules right from their website it is illegal for ANY member of the team to recruit, coaches or players

The seeds of this started several years ago when Lakeland fans hired an attorney and got Florida legislators involved in Tallahassee. Anytime politicians are involved follow the money. I concur with 954gator, let the games begin....welcome to the new wild,wild west.

 

Yep, and most of them don't get it.  I'm all for school choice for academic purposes but its become a legal loophole for athletic recruiting.

The problem is this was in writing. Anybody is crazy if you don't think this is going on at every 7 on 7 practice or AAU basketball tournament. Like it or not this is the world we live in. Shark you know all about the Fhsaa allowing recruiting. You guys lost a once in a lifetime talent to IMG who the Fhsaa endorses.

Great point about the 7 on 7.  But the issue of the text message is a non story, don't think for a minute that players from other schools probably even Williston haven't tried to talk Trenton players into coming to their school.  It has been going on for years and will continue.

True, but what are the consequences for a non coach? Is it fair to fine a school for what a minor does? Can you punish a player for trying to get a friend to come to the same school as him? What can you do to little Johnny's uncle who is trying to find some receivers for his nephew, who is the new qb at school Z to throw to.

That's where the recruiting is happening at. These all star 7 on 7 teams goes on and with al these kids at one spot , you definitely know they will be recruiting each other...

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      By Joshua Wilson · Posted

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.

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