Didn’t need Correa either, but here he is. I agree we need pitching.

YES!!!!!! My bank account appreciates Exxon so much.

We don't need Springer. Need another arm or two. Astros are third in the AL in runs scored but are 12th in runs allowed. Pitching is what is needed.

Exxon’s second-quarter profit this year was $14.6 Billion compared to $ 7.1 Billion in the same quarter last year. Double the Profit!!! Chevron the same! Can you say price GOUGING!

People tend to have different opinions on what making America great looks like. It’s more than a narrow biased catch phrase.

That must be part of your culture....... Always play for the team not the individual.......

Pretty sure everyone on this forum wants America to be Great, Trump’s just not doing it. Trump Disappointment Syndrome is what it’s called at this point.

So, are you for or against making America great?!

Open enrollment schools play within their normal classification. Open enrollment does not impact UIL eligibility. Just because they enroll does not mean they are eligible for varsity sports. If they live outside the district boundaries they are likely to sit out a year.

Don’t know the circumstances for Miller but I am certain of the numbers I mentioned for DLs.

I really like our first 4 batters and it seem like the end of the batting order is doing pretty good right now according to Pena and Alveraz rbi numbers.

SJ is an all-boys school with 1,400+ boys in grades 9-12. They are required by the UIL to multiply their student population by two to satisfy the presumption of an equal number of female students that would be present in a public school setting. Aggies Are We is right...notwithstanding the enrollment numbers, the UIL requires and SJ had to agree to play in the highest classification. For open enrollment schools, do you use the same rule...notwithstanding the enrollment numbers, will the UIL require and the school must agree to play in the highest classification? 14.2's post has prompted me to read about the select divisions being considered by some states. That's an interesting concept.

We have plenty of OFs. I like Peña leading off. Toronto can keep Springer.

Imai now in Bullpen. JP France released in Sugarland. Rumor that George Springer talking come back to Stros. Hmmmm

With Hardin out of the way, I believe EC will finish 2nd behind the Orangemen. How many transfers did EC get this year? Good for at least 1 or 2 since 1863.

Then move them as a freshman. Not a big deal and don’t blame you. The issue that folks have is when dudes have spent their entire hs career at a single school are going to play college ball and transfer out as a senior to a name school.

Pretty sure Dre'lon Miller of Silsbee, who was a 4-5 star out of high school, who just transferred to Baylor from Colorado, is not making $300-500 K at Baylor this season. Could be wrong. I can ask his father to be certain. Talk to him pretty regular.

27% approval.

Houston Strake Jesuit turned in 2974 enrollment for this past realignment. DCTF has them at 2974 and finishing 4th in 21-6A. UIL uses total enrollment of 9-12, not just the male pop. But, SJ had to agree to play 6A in order to participate in UIL. It's just now they have 6A numbers.

They had just as well be 6-A though. PNG with about 1,600 students and possibly larger than Strake Jesuit. PNG probably has about 800 male students though as opposed to a school with an enrollment of 1,500 that has 1,500 males. A 3,000 enrollment public school would probably have the same 1,500 male students.

Recruiting is not conducive to an even playing field in UIL play. Especially for smaller schools. A team like SOC might not be necessarily "recruiting" but that's still not really an even playing field because they're not a true 5AD2 in my opinion. They have 5AD2 enrollment numbers but they have millions of kids they can chose from or attract while still keeping their enrollment numbers low. Theres probably not a perfect answer for those situations but the UIL should continue to work on keeping the playing field even as possible and not let the whole system get completely polluted with this madness.
