What a coincidence that five players would all decide, independently and with no nudging, to transfer to the same high school.  B)

 

I think in some cases that peer pressure/influence is as big, if not greater a factor than "recruiting."  ...ie "Hey, let's all go to _____ next year and create a state championship team."   With all of the camps, 7-on-7 and social media today, there is a level of communication amongst the kids today that we have never seen before.   I am cautious not to underestimate the impact this could be having.

What year did Cocoa have 21 transfers?  I remember them having 10 one year?

2014 I think. They beat Bolles that year in the state championship. I remember three kids from AHP transferring in after a coach from there joined Cocoa’s staff.

Does Titusville have anything left? They went 0-10 and play some crappy New Jersey team this year. Does Titusville have at least one player who can play? 

Yes, Cris Collinsworth.....oh, that was Titusville Astronaut, and the year was 1975......never mind :)

AHP huh? Which coach and what players? They had a couple players transfer over from Palm Bay Heritage.

      Bad Press Is Good Press...Right?

      By Perspective · Posted

      “Knowing that we are committing [rules] violations and nothing is being done set off alarms for me." Quote from the former (as of a week or so ago) baseball coach at the high school in question (in the article at the beginning of this thread).   Admittedly, he was not one of the football coaches, but between he and his wife (who was the principal of the school), they seemed to have a lot of insider information.  Note also, that he uses the word "we," referring to the school he was coaching.  Do I have any direct knowledge of cheating?   Nope.   But when I see this much smoke, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that there is some fire burning in there somewhere.

      New "Open Division" proposal

      By nolebull813 · Posted

      For example if Class 1 has 20 teams eligible to move up, but class 2 only has 15 teams eligible to move down then all 15 move down, and the 15 teams in class 1 with the highest winning percentage would move up.

      You could even bump teams up and down based on winning percentage.   After 2 years, teams with a .750 or higher would have to move up a class with the cap still being 125 teams per class. Teams with the highest winning percentage above .750 would move up first and so on.    Same with winning percentages of .250 or worse. They would move down with the worst percentages moving down first

      If you cut the classes to 4, that’s 125 teams each class. 500 teams. The rest are independent SSAC teams etc.    125 teams divided into 16 districts is 7-8 teams per district. No issue. Travel and scheduling would be easy breezy. Most games would be local and keep the rivalries fresh.    Playoffs would be an animal. The districts would be so big, and the classes so small that it would be highly unlikely that a garbage team makes the playoffs. Maybe one here or there but nothing like it is now.    Classify by enrollment. Maybe multiply privates by 1.5.    Let’s figure it out
