This team will be major stacked on both sides of the ball. They will be top 10 in Florida easy. And top 50 in the nation or lower " Mark my words.

Do you have names for any of these kids? Transfers are fine and dandy, but they have to be an upgrade over what you already had to make a difference.

I miss the offseason transfer thread!    

Back when BrowardHandicapper was posting he would do a good job of keeping that transfer thread up to date.

Go to 321recruits twitter page and you will see all of the Brevard transfers for every school there.

Interesting, thanks. Know of any other such pages? I've heard about something to that effect for Polk, but have so far been relegated to reading random comments here and there with no list to speak of.

Titusville I think is playing an OOS game too. Are they any good? Lol

Are you serious? Who they playing? The last time i remember Titusville being good was when I was in school when they had Willie Haulstead at receiver who ended up at FSU.

Glen Ridge, New Jersey is where the sexual assault of the mentally disabled teenager by several football players was covered up by the town powers-that-be. There was a movie starring Ally Sheedy and Eric Stoltz made about that incident.

SFHSSports used to do their best to cover Broward and Dade, though I have no clue what the quality level is now. 

JT Wilcox presumably is still providing those types of updates for Broward and Dade on his own Twitter (or website) so I'd check there. Larry Blustein is probably doing it as well to some extent.

Wow what a dumpster fire.  I believe that is 4 coaches in 10 months right? 

 How could a public school with a solid history in a talent rich area be so dysfunctional?

 

Pretty much. It's the 3rd since the end of the season. I know a lot of there students are transferring out to astronaut and Space Coast

    • Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?
    • Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school. 
    • I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle. 
    • Wait are you saying there is a rule that bars an adult mentor who coaches young men a sport from helping a struggling student athlete and his family with transportation? Whoa that’s next level crazy.    “Hey coach I’m on the side of the road and almost got hit. I’m miles from school and it’s 110 degrees out. Can you get me a ride?” ”Sorry. Some turds 6 hours away in Gainesville said I can’t. Hope you don’t get hit or pass out.” 
    • Say what you want, justify it however you want, wish the rules weren't what they are, but there is no question that a coach or other school representative paying for Uber rides for kids playing sports is a violation of the existing FHSAA rules.  Period.  And Teddy Bridgewater may be or have been an elite athlete, may be or become an excellent high school football coach, and/or may have his heart in the right place, but tweeting out a message to the world that you have done something that undoubtedly constitutes a violation of the rules is just plain stupid.
