[Hidden Content] Absent a specific threat, which they acknowledged, this is really uncool of Plano ISD.

Well, they did make good progress on it this week and it appears to be fully installed. Operational? I don't know. It is not as big as Texan Drive, the Rez or the others. But it is there.

Well, remember, Coach Riordan is a HUGE believer in the use of social media to hype his team and the athletic program. He did so big time at Crosby and continues to do so at Chapel Hill. I have simply, so far anyway, not seen Coach Prieto as prone to use social media as much as Riordan did. I agree with Eagle...everything is fine in Crosby. Folks just being cautious with a new coach in town. After their scrimmage tomorrow, you'll probably hear more from them.

Oh, he did well. If I am not mistaken, he was defensive player of the year in his new district. He did go on to play for Mizzou, but as Alpha Wolf indicates usually happens, he transferred after his freshman year to juco. He did hook on with La Tech last year where he redshirted last year after 4 games and will be there for his junior year this year. I wish him well, as I did when I heard of his transfer from WO-S to the new school, as he is a heck of an athlete and a real good kid.

Got it and it is on its way to Devon.

Here are the Districts in Education Region V: [Hidden Content] or you can search it this way: [Hidden Content]

If you can't get it to post or put in a pm. Email it to me and I'll email it to Devon. My address is above.

I, too, remember the young man in question. He was a key player in WO-S' trek to the state championship game in 2014 and transferred to the school in the Cy-Fair ISD for his senior year. I also recall that Coach Thompson indicated on the young man's PAPF form that he was moving for athletic reasons based upon conversations with the young man's father that the move was to "increase college exposure." I also recall that Coach Thompson was heavily castigated on social media (including a lengthy thread here) for doing so as he was accused of only doing so because he was "bitter" and "jealous" and "wanted to punish the young man" for deciding to transfer from WO-S. The UIL does have in place rules to stem the tide. However, those rules only take effect when coaches from these schools that are being poached do indicate like Coach Thompson did and DEC's give them the weight that the UIL says they should. However, coaches see how folks like Coach Thompson were treated and figure it is not worth the trouble that they will bring for themselves (dragged through mud on social media, travel to Austin to testify in the kid's appeal, etc) OR they have the mentality of "If you really don't want to be here, I really don't want you here" and rubber stamp the PAPF form even if there is evidence of a move for athletic purposes. Absent either tougher adherence to those rules in place or the UIL coming down with an across the board one year ban for varsity play.....which probably everybody here would agree is too draconian of a measure to put in place...this trend will only increase in frequency.
