Serious question:  how does an existing high school player "get an offer from IMG?"  WTF?

I have no idea

 

The kid removed the tweet so I can't send the link to that but I got a screenshot of it before hand

 

Only problem is it hasn't let me upload the screenshot on here

They are gonna need the whole Duval area to compete with the schedule they got. Might be toughest in the state when it’s all done with 

It's already the toughest schedule in FL and could be toughest in nation if they land the last game with who they are rumored to be interested in

So, the tweet says:  "Blessed to Receive a (sic) invitation To play IMG Academy"  (with four  "ats," including "@IMGA Football). 

I guess I can see why the tweet was removed.   It's basically an admission that IMG recruited the kid.  Hey, I'm not surprised, but it does violate FHSAA rules.  But, I won't hold my breath waiting for FHSAA to drop the hammer on IMG.

IMG can actively recruit. They don't play for a state championship so they don't have to adhere by FHSAA rules. That was my understanding at least.

Correct

 

The fhsaa can't do much to IMG and plus the state legislation backs IMG financially which basically leaves fhsaa powerless to do anything to stop IMG

 

Let's just be happy IMG chose voluntarily to not participate in state sponsored playoffs so at least they not taking away a spot in state finals from a team who follows the normal rules of a regular high school instead of a national training agency like IMG

Not much the fhsaa can really do and with the people in Tallahassee giving IMG millions each year they would likely prevent the fhsaa from having the ability to take any action on IMG even if the fhsaa tried to do so

Guys, I have had this conversation with the folks at FHSAA before.  Unless things have changed within the last couple of years, the fact that IMG does not compete for state championships does not absolve them of their obligation to follow the rules.   If they choose to be FHSAA members (which benefits them in other ways -- mainly in the ability to schedule games against out-of-state opponents), they have to play by the rules.  One of those rules is that they are not allowed to recruit.  If anyone can show me the rule or section of the FHSAA manual that says that a school who opts to not compete for state titles is allowed to actively recruit, I'll back down and stand corrected.  Until then, I'll go on believing that this is yet another example (adidas, Nike, college admissions scandal) where the rich and powerful get to play by a different set of rules than the rest.

So, this past weekend there was a NFA 7-on-7 tournament at IMG Academy.  This was a regional tournament, so there were kids from throughout the southeast, including multiple teams from Florida (South Florida Express, Pro Impact, Miami Immortals, Muck 7 and Southern Storm among them).    Essentially, these are all-star 7-on-7 squads, so there were a lot of talented athletes on the IMG campus.

I believe (but not 100%) that the kid who sent out the tweet (link in one of the posts above) is a Robert E. Lee DB who played for one of those 7-on-7 teams.  His tweet (about his "invitation" to IMG) came on the Tuesday after he played in the tournament at, where else, IMG. 

So, if you're a high school football coach, how willing are you going to be to let your best players play for an all-star 7-on-7 team knowing that they're going to be playing in tournaments at IMG and could very well get poached by the host school?  Or do you let them play and trust/hope/pray that stick with you? 

Kind of reminds me of that old quote:  "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were."

Because what else is there to talk about.. Lol

Well, I guess I was curious to see if anyone had anything (other than urban legend) to support the proposition that an FHSAA-member team (like IMG) that elects not to compete for state titles is therefore allowed to actively and openly recruit athletes enrolled at other schools.

Also, I was curious how any coaches who contribute to this site feel about "letting" their kids play on all-star 7-on-7 teams who play in tournaments at places like IMG.

That's because the fhsaa still has to answer to the state legislation in Tallahassee and the people in Tallahassee are financially backing IMG 

 

There's really nothing the fhsaa can do since they still have to answer to Tallahassee

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      Complaining about North Florida slappies losing to South Florida powers is like someone graduating high school complaining that companies are only hiring college graduates and not them. And then a company saying ok to make it fair, we will open division and only hire high school graduates.

      TO ALL MEMBERS OF THE BOARD: Please read!

      First I want to express my apologies for my absence the last few months. Without going into much detail I have had some personal life struggles I have been dealing with on top of figuring out the direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com in. Things have finally settled out some over the last few weeks although I am not completely out of the woods just yet. Some of the decisions about what direction to take FloridaHSFootball.com have been forming over this time while I went through things. Part of me wondered if it was time to go, but really it is not at all. Thankfully, a loyal supporter near me in Gainesville decided to put their mouth where their money is and did a little investing and today FloridaHSFootball.com launched its first-ever Mobile App. With that said it comes with the sunset of the MVP Membership Subscriptions and thus FloridaHSFootball.com will be 100% free for the first time in a while. This comes as needing to get the clearances with Apple and Google and the current subscription platform we have is not syncing with Apple's system nor with the App itself. Its best we go in this direction to grow fans again and being able to put them facing forward with an app on their phone going forward. Here are the download links for the apps: iOS (Apple): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/floridahsfootball-com/id6477621728 Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.floridahsfootball.app&hl=en_US&gl=US   For now the forums will not be available directly in the app. At some point I maybe looking at changing the whole forum software that could eventually integrate into the app. It will be a while before this happens so things will go on as they are here.   I also apologize for any of the spam and troll accounts that have managed to find their way around the security protocols in setting up new accounts. It seems every day these things find ways to pass through control systems. I am going to be looking at getting this solved and will keep an eye on things here as we go along.   Please feel free to reach out to me if you all need anything, want to chat or have any suggestions.   -- Josh

      They can definitely beat Central. My bulls is a toss up but I feel we should have the edge. EJ will be hard to stop though. Glad they not in 2A with us.
