My son got his helmet yesterday. One week later the pads start popping. 3 weeks is the spring game. Then it’s summer workouts in 100 degree heat. 
 

There is no off-season!

Yeah, if you're in a in a program that has accountability and structure the season never really ends. January to August is when you win championships. I just hope the fans understand and respect that. The coaches should be paid accordingly for the time, effort and sacrifice they put in for the school and football program. Oh, and that 100 degree heat aint no joke for the players, trainers and coaches.

It could just be me, but one trend I've noticed with this year's schedules is that more "good/very good/elite" teams are scheduling more games against other similar teams.  Although there are other possible explanations, my theory is that teams are leaning into the perception that strength of schedule is weighted more heavily in MaxPreps ratings than it was in the FHSAA Power Rankings.  I cannot confirm this as a fact, as I am still waiting for my MaxPreps decoder ring to arrive in the mail.  But it should be interesting to see how scheduling philosophies and the use of MaxPreps affects the selection and seeding of playoff teams.  In any event, only 4 more months until kickoff...

I think the more likely explanation is that the powerhouses who gets loads of transfers are now struggling mightily to fill out their schedules without scheduling similar programs. They sort of have to play each other...

There is most def a lot more goliath vs Goliath matchups this upcoming year. Which you love to see. 
 

perfect example. STA @ CHAMINADE I thought I would never see that matchup. Especially during a year where both teams are nationally elite. So that’s a game I can’t miss in person. 
 

then you got American heritage vs Miami central 

st Thomas vs American heritage 

St Thomas vs Columbus 

It’s going to be an action packed 2024 season.

      I seriously can't remember how many times I had to do that very thing. Like Nolebull said in another discussion, the kids know kids from other schools and where the "hot hand" is. I never entertained discussions with kids or parents of kids from other schools. I know we lost some good ones because of it but I am ok with that.

      In a single word, "no." In a lot more words, see the following: (From 2023-24 FHSAA Handbook) 36.2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS 36.2.1 Athletic Recruiting. “Athletic recruiting” is any effort by a school employee, athletic department staff member or representative of a school’s athletic interests to pressure, urge or entice a student to attend that school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.   and this . . . 36.2.2 Improper Contact. “Improper contact” is contact, either directly or indirectly, whether in person or through written or electronic communication, by a school employee, athletic department staff member, representative of the school’s athletic interests or third parties, such as an independent person, business or organization, with a student or any member of the student’s family, in an effort to pressure, urge or entice the student to attend a different school for the purpose of participating in interscholastic athletics.  See Policy 37.    In fact, if the kid contacts the coach at another school, the coach is not supposed to communicate with the kid other than to refer the kid to the person at the school responsible for admissions.    Best I can tell, there is no exception for being able to reach out to a kid who plays a sport that is not offered by the school that the kid currently attends.  Perhaps there should be . . . but then you'd really be opening Pandora's Box.

      So you are not allowed to talk to a kid who is not an active football player currently attending a school that doesn’t have a football team?

      1.  Ask around and get the kid's phone number. 2.  Call the kid.  3.  If that doesn't work, DM the kid.  4.  Once communications are established, try to convince the kid to come to your school.  There may be other ways, but I think this would be the easiest way to recruit a kid .
