Fairly simple for the coaches who are “sick of it”: 1. Regulate it through their membership on the DEC. 2. Don’t sign off on transfers. **The reason they don’t follow these steps is because they have similar in their own programs. Every school in Texas receives players and loses players.

Yes

Have not seen an answer yet. Just that a few kids transferred. There is not a school in Texas that did not gain new students or lose new students. **worthy of note that no one is mentioning the schools that do not win big and anything about their “transfers”.

How do you know? How many people moved to or from SOC in the past year? And what were each of their reasons? (been waiting on someone with direct knowledge like yourself). Why did the DEC not reject the SOC transfers? Since it would directly hurt their schools? Did PNG submit any PAPFs this year?

How is he eligible? If he broke a rule? How was he approved by the DEC? I suspect every school in the district submitted PAPFs for transfers. Do you any info on the transfers to the other schools in the district? Or just the teams that are good?

He transferred. Transferring is not illegal. What rule was broken.

You produced exactly "nothing".

If the process has been followed there is nothing "illegal". Coaches can check the box if they want to or not. Even if they do not check the box, the DEC still reviews the transfer and can still not accept the transfer. They can also "accept" the transfer even if the former coach check's the box. Seen both in the last month.

What scam? Just making allegations does not make it true. Understanding that you want it to be true. Feel free to tell us exactly what rule was broken.

Every player that transfers goes through the same PAPF process. That is not debatable.

That is the same for all schools regardless. Open enrollment is irrelevant. It does help stock up the lower grades.

Admitting a student to the school does not make them eligible for varsity sports. To be eligible they must live in the district and go through the PAPF process. Is that your understanding?

You cannot "get recruits in every year". They have to sit out a year unless they go through the exact same process that every other district goes through. "Open enrollment" is irrelevant in the UIL process.

There is no team that "cant practice". Worst case scenario is to start practice at 4:00-4:30.

I am shocked at some of the programs that have upended their entire process without understanding the actual impact.

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 keep up with it somewhat and have been privy to the conversations with current recruits. Baylor specifically said $300k range for DLs. Another similar SEC school said $500k for DLs.

The current actual temperature in Orange is 94. WBGT is still at 86.0 as of 1:09.

At this very minute (12:50): WBGT 86.0 in Orange, 87.5 in San Augustine.

Not much. Generally the same climate less some of the gulf breeze and a little bit hotter inland.

No offense, and I am sure you have good information but I will defer to the Baylor coach on this one. FYI, some similar schools have offered $500k to the same level recruits.

Just because they have open enrollment does not mean a player can play the first year he arrives. Still has to follow UIL transfer guidelines the same as if it were closed enrollment.

If a player makes $300k + per year, what will he be in 4 years? Having earned >$1.2 million? Maybe Baylor coaches are lying to recruits?

I have monitored it with the HeatSafe app and an electronic monitor from one of the recommended vendors. Both the app and the device have been very close (within a point or two). Looks to me that as long as you are not practicing in the middle of the day you will be able to have a relatively normal practice. It starts to drop rapidly around 4:00 pm. Keep in mind that the temperature and heat index are not the same thing. I have seen the temp at 95-98 and the WBGT well below the danger zone of 92. Yesterday the WBGT got up to 88.5.
