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

Yeah, I'm speaking from experience of having buddies and relatives who currently have kids playing at P4 and G6 schools. IDK how much you follow recruiting but you can see on that list that even some of the most elite QB recruits in Texas over the past few years have already hit the portal. Pretty sure most would've stayed like the old days if they were being paid millions just to be a depth player instead of ending up at Abilene Christian two years after you make the Elite 11
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.

My current data shows 90-94 range.
Point is that a few degrees up or down can change the preparation for teams in the same area. Will it change things Friday Night? Not much. Keep the kids safe seems to be the best option
The current actual temperature in Orange is 94. WBGT is still at 86.0 as of 1:09.

Correct but SA being 2 hours north can make all the difference. All is needed is a point or two from practicing to not practicing.
At this very minute (12:50): WBGT 86.0 in Orange, 87.5 in San Augustine.

I think it also depends on your location.
WBGT can be different in Orange Texas than in San Augustine Texas.
Not much. Generally the same climate less some of the gulf breeze and a little bit hotter inland.

You're not giving a 3* high school QB $300k a year just for his signature at a lower tier P4 school. He would be very lucky to get $100k as a freshman from Baylor. That's why I pointed out that even a high school All-America transfer QB from the SEC is already headed out. I'm sure he would've gladly accepted $300k-$600k to wait in line behind Lagway versus transferring to a mid-major where he would be doing well to get $50k a year. These teams have GM's now and unless you're a school with extremely deep pockets you're not paying a kid $1M to sit on the bench and develop. Long before a coach with his job on the line like Aranda gives an unproven high school commodity $300K per year to be a depth player they would just go get another one of these experienced guys from the portal like they did with DJ.
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.

Should the UIL require open enrollment schools to play sports in the highest classification? The private schools who elect to play in the UIL are required to play in the highest classification. Houston's Strake Jesuit comes to mind. SJ's enrollment fluctuates between 1,200 and 1,400, but the SJ sports teams must play in 6A. Should the open enrollment schools be treated the same way? Both systems, private education and open enrollment public schools, can cherry pick athletes.
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.

No it doesn't, the only player making over $1M on Baylor's roster is DJ Lagway who was a 5* coming out of high school and started two years in the SEC. The only way you get those NIL numbers listed above are to be an elite high school recruit or a big time transfer that produced at your previous stop. A low rated 4* or a 3* is going to have to earn their money once they get to campus. Prior to Baylor signing Lagway this year they signed Walker White from the portal who was a top 5-8 QB in the nation before singing with Auburn out of high school, he's already out the door again on the way to Central Arkansas. I highly doubt he's collected $300k after three years on P4 rosters.
Baylor has had three players drafted in the last four years which is basically when the NIL era kicked off, two have been linemen. If you're good enough to make "millions" in the trenches in college you're most likely getting drafted. Outside of a guy Baylor is willing to overpay for in the portal from time to time to get him to Waco nobody they're willing to pay that type of money to would actually stay there because better teams/playoff contenders would pay more.
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.

10am and we're in the red...
"2-hour max practice time. Players are restricted to helmet, shoulder pads, and shorts"
Coaches around the state are monitoring their current conditions and will adjust as always. No real threat of missing practice in November December because of this.
Hopefully they'll be smart and get the work in early.
Where did you see it was in the red at 10:00 AM? What instruments were you using?

If they had placed a financial penalty on the contractor for failing to meet the deadline, the stadium would have been open.

10+ win season for the Hornets? And will they get to Newton for a re-match in Round 4?
Might win 10 games. Doubt they will make it to the 4th round. 10 wins may ride on whether or not they beat Crockett and EC.

Glad you brought this up. What is everyone's thoughts? I heard several coaches really upset about these new "mandatory" UIL guidelines in regards to the Wet Bulb. According to the guidelines there's a very good possibility that athletes will not be able to wear any protective gear in practice or even practice at all outside after about 12 with this Texas heat. I know there are schools in with indoor practice facilities, but most schools especially smaller classifications don't. Many, I heard have adjusted to early morning practices to help, but athletes don't play games at 6am in the morning. The biggest issue is students may not be able to practice one day, but can participate in a full game the next day. So ultimately who's response for the safety of the school when coaches are not allowed to acclimate them in the afternoons? Makes no sense that a kid cant practice outside, play can have a competition when the temperature could even be hotter.
The highest I have seen it get so far is 90.0 WBGT. Started dropping to 88.7 around 4:30.

There are 1200 to 1500 D1QB’s actively committed in high school each year. Div. 1 usually carry 3to4 QB’s on their roster. Just because a kid gets an offer from Baylor does not mean he will be a millionaire like some people believe. Nothing is definite until he gets that offer in writing.
Yes it does. That is the rate for a FBS QB. Lineman signed by Baylor will be millionaires also.

Will be a good learning experience. Will be better prepared for future jobs.

BH could have sent the PAPF during the spring before the conversion...but they elected to hold off...really no rush as long as its done before Week 1
Did he finish the year at BH or WV?

Solid pre district I say 7-3
Definitely 2 losses to Timpson and SA. Probably need to hold off on the anointing oil for Alto but that is likely a loss for WS as well.

In bold: that's a very good question.
UIL just converted to Rankone for PAPFs. It was not available till July 1st. No PAPFs could be processed sooner for any school in the state.

Vidor needs a new coach from outside the district , not one that's is placed into that position by the former coach who is his best friend. He's just there to build up his retirement, no desire to change it up.
If it's not working then it's not working and their record proves that is not working. Vidor should be able to do better in this district than they have been doing but the ship continues to sink deeper and deeper !
Because Vidor is always loaded with athletes. No reason why they should not be winning.

How so? Isn't CC is Region IV? Also, HH will not win a district game.

Talk about a silly statement. You don't know that. If he wasn't a championship coach then that statement would actually have validity. So, I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.
Let’s use your logic: Huntington has never had a .500 or better season with every coach they have ever had. What in Scott Suratts background makes you think he could have similar results at Huntington? Has Suratt ever been a HC at a school that was not a perennial winner? or an all time losing school? With no budget?
See how that works?

His record as a head coach would not dictate this statement. Carthage: No State Titles before Surratt -- 11 Championships after he arrived. So, I'm gonna say you have the intelligence to not say that the right kids only started to show up when he did. So, in my opinion -- it's all on him! In the 82 years prior to Surratt, they never had the athletes to win a State Title? Not once?! I just don't think it's a coincidence that Surratt was the one able to do it. And if he went anywhere else he could do the same thing.
Carthage was competitive long before Suratt arrived and he has done a great job of transforming a perennial winner to a perennial state champion. He also benefitted from the watering down of the classifications. Huntington has never had a single winning season in school history. There is not a single chance in hell that he would do the same at Huntington.
**I suspect you are being silly at this point. I dont believe that you believe what you are saying.

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.
