100% darterblue.  The game definitely has changed to be a more athletic game as opposed to a more physical game which hurts the type of kids they usually have.

With the current transfer rules I'm not sure the areas of the state with less dense populations will be able to compete on a regular basis with the central and southern teams.   It's all about numbers

There is obvious dysfunction in the program. I can see a kid or two not showing for anything from a valid reason to indiscipline.  To have so many not show is indicative of a breakdown in the program.

What's your all's thoughts on this 

There is obvious dysfunction in the program. I can see a kid or two not showing for anything from a valid reason to indiscipline.  To have so many not show is indicative of a breakdown in the program. 

In general it is a privilege to represent your school and should be treated as such by the student athlete.

Not being at all familiar with Choctaw, I can't comment further.

I see 10 were jv players so it's clear younger players aren't buying into the program so they need to trim fat and get rid of ones who don't want to be there or program will continue to decline

loose lips sink ships...there's a rat in the ranks...who's talking to the press about practice attendance???

Talk about a slow day for news...

Well if the newspaper has someone attend practices they may have found out from a source not directly with the team 

 

Coaches have tight lips but parents don't

if that's the case - that a parent is taking attendance at practice OR if a reporter (1) attended a practice AND (2) knows who a single JV player is, much less who is not at practice that day...then you've got yourself a storm of monumental proportions.

What i meant is sometimes parents will notice if something is different at practice because they all talk so the reporter may learn some things from parents that coaches won't disclose

Willie Stargell Varsity Backup

I liken it to this...if almost half of an English class fails, as an administrator, I'm calling that teacher in to remind her (usually) that her title is TEACHER...if the kids are failing, she is failing. Same thing to the coach...if you have an environment in which your team is revolting, you better get that ship righted. My guess is that even the local paper has turned on this particular coach...

Does "show up to practice" qualify as a "demand of varsity football"?

No I was thinking more along the lines of getting run over by the big boys and not wanting anymore.  From what I had heard from a summer FCA camp Choctaw was having some issues then and was being handled by the 1A schools at the camp

      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 .

      NIL coming to Florida? FHSAA requests public feedback

      By Perspective · Posted

      So, after one very brief reading, it appears that the policy will be as follows:   kids, you can cut an NIL deal, but it can't have anything to do with the school you're at or any school that wants you to come there or anyone associated with any of those schools (i.e., boosters).
