South Houston player move didnt happen until the school year ended and we had already published

We'll never know...but before it was kids why would kids move to low performing academic schools....now its "well he's moving to a better school but not that much better" Bottom line is based on the rules we have today...transfer is legit....it is what it is

Here's Shadow Creek's report card from the TEA [Hidden Content]

There was actually a DEC on the LaPorte kid, but the DEC approved him....thats the process No DEC on the South Houston kid....they didnt check any boxes so there was no hearing

Congrats!

It's coming from TEA

With the right admin it can happen...I think it's great news for those schools....

Thought it was interesting that SOC today was named an A-Rated campus by TEA

I've been seeing them in stores for almost a month in DFW....saw some in Houston when I was down there for coaching school

Class 5A

I think if you had true football capitalism it would not go the way you think it would go lol The process is imperfect because its based on human judgement which is imperfect and thats not taking into account the process where humans willfully aren't honest on the forms....BUT based on the rules today that opens the door for circumvention of the rules in place. If I were in charge I'd try to get rid of judgment as much as possible and make it black and white...no more transferring for athletic purposes questions on the form..its residency and residency alone...BUT I'd have more robust compliance arm of the UIL to check into residency questions and not leave that to the schools... The only question is..where do I come up with the money to pay the salaries of this compliance arm

I guess the question would be if all the coaches are suspended wouldn't that hurt the kids and potentially other programs?

I dont think there's ever been a ground swell at the 4A level to have it and certainly not below that

It'll be before the season....just dont know when yet

A tale as old as time

What evidence of recruiting is out there that the UIL has? If someone has it I'm sure they'd be happy to take it and make an example of someone. If the kids that go there have clean PAPFs the UIL's not going to intervene unless there's evidence of recruiting...the only time I can recall a kid transferring to SOC and there actually being a hearing was the kid from Corsicana who signed with A&M and he was cleared....

Brayden White committed to Stanford and Michael Weekes...I believe Weekes has a McNeese offer

It could for sure..

I wouldnt mind seeing it in an open division at this point....I doubt most private schools would be interested

I'd fascinated by an open division, the issue I think is you create an open division now you gotta let more private schools in...Just my guess at least

I think what you are pointing to is a system that absolutely has flaws and isnt perfect...the question remains how do you build a system in today's environment where open enrollment and charters exist and you dont punish kids who move legitimately AND would also hold up to inevitable court challenges..
