Palm Beach Central, SR, Waden Charles (Arkansas commit) transfers to Somerset Canyons this week. Will he be eligible to play the remainder of the season? Moore Haven had a QB transfer after week 3, a few seasons ago and was allowed to play. Is this a new thing now, because I dont think this has ever happened in Palm Beach County

I want to say it's a certain number of weeks into the season. It's new to me honestly because Rockledge had a player transfer to Sebastian River after the KOC and he was able to play the full season

If he hasn't played yet, he is immediately eligible.

If he has played, he is ineligible to play unless he's:

1. A dependent of active-duty military personnel whose move resulted from military orders.

2. A child who has been relocated due to a foster care placement in a different school zone

3. A child who moves due to a court-ordered change in custody due to separation or divorce, or the serious illness or death of a custodial parent.

4. Authorized for good cause in district, private or charter school board policy.

 

So, it really depends on what the new school/district considers to be a good cause move.

He’s played in all 3 regular season games and the 1 preseason game

#4 seems to be the card played most every time, with close to 100% success.

There have been quite a few midseason transfers who've been able to play right away. Of course, we don't hear about the vast majority of them, unless we follow certain groups on social media, which often disclose such moves.

Broward has had several names transfer after week 2. No rules apply anymore to that stuff.  Rumor is Chaminade has had a few leave. Don't know how true, but I heard 6-7 guys.  QB Zak Katz has gone back to True North and Rumor is that Jabari Brady has left as well as 2 of the bigger names.  I am sure some have legit reason, but some of these guys were the alphas at their last school and just can't take either waiting their turn again or in terms of recievers being in a rotation with a bunch of other number 1s.

This right here is the biggest joke.  The FHSAA should determine if it's good cause not the county or private school who obviously wants the kid to play.

 

I'll give an example.  We had a basketball player that lived in our zone but her mom worked at another school 20 minutes away so the girl rode with her mom to school and played there.  The season had started, it was very early in the season, and then mom lost her job so the mom wanted the daughter to attend our school because that was the school she was zoned for and she wouldn't have to drive 20 minutes to school and mom had no way to take her there anymore.  The county denied good cause so the girl transferred to a private school even further away and they gave her good cause.

"Good cause" means if the kid is good, we'll cause him to be eligible.  B)

Or as I have heard stories of, that cuts both ways.  We have had a very good player wanting to transfer to our school for a couple of years (direct info from his Dad) and the county has prevented it.   No doubt politics also plays a role within the district and our HC has been crystal clear he only wants kids that WANT to be here so no issues with those leaving our school.  I think BadBird just gave another good example of this practice.

Yeah that #4 rule is very ambiguous and too open to interpretation/abuse.

Riverview Sarasota running back DJ Johnson just transferred this week to Booker. The same Booker that got hit with recruiting violations for trying to pay Jamarice Wilder 10k and a new car to transfer over from Venice.

Mid season transfer is just beyond stupid.  It's one thing to transfer during the offseason but to abandon your teammates after the games have started is 100% a selfish me-player.  Who the hell would want that cancer on your team?

As with most policies in public education, the rule isn’t there because it’s a best practice. It’s there to prevent litigation.

      Teddy Bridgewater begs for donations

      And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane.

      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.”
