Word is, Coach Banks the former head coach was escorted off campus last week after a heated discussion with the principle. from what i have been told this stems from banks talking to the paper about the program.

Dang shame. Wonder what it was about. Wonder if the principle was meddling out of his element. 
 

There was a story near me about Land O Lakes High. Before the season, 2 freshman were slap boxing and other kids were filming it. One kid was obviously winning over the other with the kids in the background cheering it on. So when it got leaked, it was interpreted as hazing. As if all the kids in the background were sanctioning it. 
 

Without one second of investigation the principal shut the entire football program down. Varsity season cancelled over 2 freshman slap boxing. It caused a shit storm. Local news swarmed the school. Parents outraged. Protesting outside the office demanding the principal be fired. 
 

They finally asked some quick questions and it was determined to be exactly what it was originally said it was. Football was reinstated but JV missed the first game over it. 
 

The principal was some punk pencil neck who looks like he never played a sport in his life and many people came out and said he had it out for the football program and he was the same way at his old school. 
 

I say all that to say is this a similar case of some pencil neck principal who never played sports trying to undermine and butt in to something that they are way out their element on?

Are you saying illegal recruiting does not occur in Florida ?     Wake up and take your blinders off

I’m not saying it doesn’t occur. What I am saying is that everything is case by case so if you are accusing a specific coach/team of cheating, I would at least like to see the evidence of the accusation. Because if you don’t then you are basically defaming them with gossip

So your saying if a team has like 15 transfers in one season,  I need to have like a team of investigators and video tape to realize that the coach is recruiting. Come on. The truth is all of the super teams recruit and yes some players come because of the winning culture. I know its impossible to get full proof  on everyone that cheats and even when they do have evidence and catch teams red handed like Winter Park.....NOTHING HAPPENED. Its the reason they should have competitive promotion and demotion so all the super teams who do bend (CHEAT) the rules get to beat each other up.

With the rise of social media, kids don’t need to be illegally recruited. They know where the hot hand is. They know what coaches have the connections and where the coaches will be at. Plus kids recruits other kids. They all star stack. I’m not saying they should, I’m just saying these kids all attend the same camps, tourneys etc. they talk. They know the process.

So why should teams who are all star teams play non all star teams? The idea of Chaminade playing other 1 a teams is insane.

Born in Youngstown, lived there through most of my early childhood and lived there for 2 years in my 20s.

I heard of that city before with other  older college coaches . I think Stoops, Bo Pelini , and Tressel are from there.

They are. I've had a chance to meet all 3. Tress was actually President of the University for a while. Just recently retired.

    • I do not. I've heard DLS sought a major out of state opponent for the early season. And I know the new staff at Lakeland is much more willing to play such games than Castle was. I've heard ESPN has been involved, though I heard that last year in regards to the Central game as well, and it never was televised. That the two played a classic game on ESPN 16 years ago might have helped pique interest. 
    • Yeah Booker T. does have a new coach and replacing someone like Ice is going to be hard. Do you know who reached out to who as far as the matchup with De La Salle and Lakeland.
    • Hey everyone!  Doing things a little differently this year with the NFL Draft in coverage... this year we are LIVE STREAMING during all-three days of the NFL Draft with live coverage with analysis from a high school football perspective as well as Florida perspective with all three of Florida's NFL Teams. Here are the live stream links! NIGHT 1 - 1st Round   NIGHT 2 - 2nd & 3rd Rounds   DAY 3 - 4th, 5th, 6th & 7th Rounds    
    • Lakeland will be heavily favored against both Lake Mary and BTW. This is mostly because both of those teams will be down from 2024. LM lost most everyone except for QB Grubbs, and doesn't figure to be able/willing to recruit/reload at quite the rate of most powers. BTW may be really, really bad. Casual fans may not know who their highly regarded head coach is, or where he is coaching now. But, let's just say his departure to an in-town competitor likely will bode poorly for their roster in 2025 (this is to say nothing of what the new staff may eventually be able to do.) The three toughest games prior to playoffs- by far and away- for Lakeland will be DLS, The First Academy and the major showdown in Orlando in August.
    • I see three scenarios here 1. 3-0 beat all three 2. 2-1 one lost to Booker T. Washington  3. 0-3 loose all three Are we getting the Lakeland that beat Miami Central 16-8 or the beat down from St. Thomas Aquinas 34-0
