[84Tigergrad]

Titusville astronaut best running back and receiver from a 10-2 team last year just transferred in and three  titusville Terriers best defensive player. Wow".

Cocoa might have 50 players on Varsity next year. They are used to only having 30.

.......and an unnamed team 66.6 miles to their north too !

I guess they are trying to top the 21 transfers they got a few years ago.  If you build it they will come.

Daytona Beach mainland ? Hmmmm! Dan' Cocoa will be even better than last year. The receivers won't be as tall but more athletic. Lol

[Tigers13]

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

[Perspective]

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

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.

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?

He scored a touchdown in the first NFL game I ever watched on TV. I was fresh off the boat when I saw him do that!

21 would be pretty incredible since the team only had 31 players.

Just what I heard, may be wrong. 21 players in total is correct tho right? 

[Tigers13]

I believe they had 10 total transfers in 2016. Of those, most were Seniors because they signed scholarships.  They did get 4-5 more in 2017 that were also Seniors

kids transfer to win Championship

Not necessarily. Also some of those transfers started off at Cocoa and returned.
