Exactly. I genuinely have no idea, but it sounded good. Ha!

No, they aren't transfers. They move into the district because they want to live in the 7th fastest growing community in the state of Texas with amenities. The topic is about "transfers" as it pertains to athletes. 1 in 10 athletes transfer due to academic/divorce/relocation of parent(s). 9/10 transfer for athletic purposes.

Very few and far between.

Was there ever one that wasn't for "athletic reasons" ?

I agree with this statement and have been saying this for many years. The UIL has no idea what is about to him them in the next 5-10 years. Not everyone is playing by the same set of rules. At some point we have to stop with the non-sense about controlling where we send our kids to school and whether or not its for "athletic purposes". Well NO JOKE every single transfer in the history of transfers is for athletic purposes so they can learn to adapt or get left behind as more options become available. I too believe you will start to see committed seniors opt out of their UIL ISD senior year and take the road that better suits their career path.

Not saying you are lying, but how did the score end up being 2 TD's difference if that's the case?

Not sure it's relevant to this situation but it certainly has me wondering what's your guys/gals opinion is. Say, a kid transfers his junior year to another ISD, for whatever the reason may be. For this example, the KID's transfer is not signed off on, yet, he's already highly recruited and received multiple D1 offers. Do you all feel as though it's important for HIM/HER to play his senior year "somewhere" or just focus on grades, hit up some camps and LIFE goes on type of thing. The only reason I use this example is, a few years ago, I caught wind of a D1 committed player in another sport quiting the ISD school sport for their senior year and the COLLEGE they were committed to praised that decision and was very supportive to say the least leaving a lot of us wondering, is the senior year even worth it in their eyes? I suppose not. Very shocking to me. I wonder if that's the case in terms of FOOTBALL recruiting, once you are locked in your junior year, does the senior year even matter?

Great point.

I thought I read where this move was already signed off on? Was it not?

That's going to leave a mark.

Yep, kids have been transferring schools for athletic purposes (with parent(s) approval) since 1863. Nothing to see here and should be allowed 100% of the time.

They are only present because of dollars. Thankfully, in the not so distance future, public school will be less and less relevant.

Wrong. Only the ones who can "afford" the move, which is a lot less common place. Every HS kid, via parents approval should be able to send their child to wherever/whenever they desire and not be penalized the slightest.

How many days away are we until the first scrimmage (Aug 13) ? Can't get here soon enough.

Has the transfer been approved by both AD's and ISD's ?

I thought he looked good at Barbers Hill and was the best fit for him.

Didn't the last QB lead the Barbers Hill Eagles to the 4th round? What program was he at prior?

See the above referenced comment. You went off track here wedge.

I remember Chavis Gregory from the 2012 squad. For some reason, I can't recall who McCollister is and year?

yes, that's our stance on the subject matter. I believe most would agree that Jones is capable of playing defense on multiple levels across the ncaa ranks. but, for some reason, unknown to anyone, he was left behind to do it on his own, from what i am told by a particular coach.

Chavis Gregory?

In this case, i was referring to the RB from OF and Jones.

I dont disagree with this statement. In the same breath, I can give you a list of "player" who received D1 offer and was not voted as the District MVP unanimously by every coach. Yet, the MVP will be sitting at home next fall and the "second place guy" is going to be suiting it up for a local D1. So, Yes, i completely understand your sentiment.

Colleges disagree with you, as best player on one side of the ball has already been offered by 3 colleges as a junior and Jones isn't playing college football next year. Lots of talent in the young man, but we both know what makes that offense go Now, who will fill the void of Jones? That's a great question?
