Here’s the one issue. If schools have open enrollment, then the coach or AD couldn’t stop football players from transferring there so they couldn’t be picky or choosy.
5 might be too small. There are teams who get 5 transfers who aren’t very good. I think Middleburg got 5 plus transfers one year and they got thrown out of the 1st round: not all transfers are created equal. It’s a little more complicated.
I've been an advocate for an open division if you have X+ number of transfers in. I think 5 is a good number so that it will force the good teams to be choosy and not just pluck every decent player they can. This could solve the issue but I know it's just a pipe dream. One can hope though.
Agree! But FHSAA won't go for it so we have to do something else.
FYI, the SSAA just tweeted that Hardee will compete in the SSAA Atlantic division for 2025.
