Data below came from Maxpreps.  Check out Texas.  One has to wonder if this is a reflection of kids not feeling a need to seek out private schools for better coaching, resources, exposure, etc.  California has 5 Catholic schools in the Top 100, Ohio has 4, and Florida has 2.   Interestingly, Texas has a large Catholic population(much larger than Ohio and Florida) and a large number of Catholic schools, yet none of them them show up on the list, and there is only 1 private school from Texas on the list.  Likewise, the biggest talent in Texas is coming from the public schools.  As I have mentioned in other posts, Texas citizens pay big property taxes to support the public schools, so maybe they feel more invested.  And I probably wouldn't being going out on a limb saying that community support in Texas, as a whole, blows away Florida.

      Recruiting a coach

      By Proseteye · Posted

      Dillard - I'm not sure that hiring a HS football coach is the same as bringing a student on board the team. I think that any school can hire any football coach that they want any time they want. They can even hire a football coach that is currently coaching at another school. Where did you find that it's illegal?

      NIL coming to Florida? FHSAA requests public feedback

      By Proseteye · Posted

      IMO the FHSAA should simply return to the previous rules that if a student transfers from one school district to another they would be allowed to in accordance with Florida law. However, that student could only transfer for academic reasons and would have to remain out of sports for the first full season of that particular sport. As I understand it, when the Florida Legislature passed the law that allowed students to transfer anywhere and at anytime they had academics in mind. It was a law that allowed students to transfer from a poor performing school academically to a good performing school academically and not for the explicit purpose of playing a game. I wonder if the Florida Legislature fully understands what happens when students are allowed to transfer explicitly for sports and how some of those transfers seriously disturb the natural flow of events with the sports team of those schools. To make matters worse they are now proposing that some high school students, that just happen to be good at playing a game, be paid for their participation. Truly amazing.

      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.
