How many are going to get their ring and go back to their home district school to graduate this year? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid, and probably his parents, wanted him to graduate early so he could get a head start at LSU. Most religious schools require religious class credits to graduate. Usually 2 years worth. He would not have been able to graduate early had he stayed. Parents should be able to send their kids to whatever school they want. I know I have for mine. Just sayin.

Those two moved in and moved out. They knew when they moved in the requirements. MD got a black eye for it and they deserve it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The topics have been weak the past couple days. 27 pages on Shadow Creek? At least I tried. Bye Difficult to admit but you actually did a pretty good job of shaking things up. It has been dull lately. I find it a sad state of affairs that these so-called "super teams" started up at all. Being entirely unbiased, one would have to admit that the recruiting of HS talent to the extent that the teams you mention have been successful at it does tip the scales quite a bit in their favor. It is amazing that teams in Texas can even get into the same conversation which is a testimony to how good football is there. Of course, having enrollments of 4000 to 6500 kids (e.g., Allen, NS, DV) doesn't hurt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that Oaks was one of the first attempts at a recruited up super team. I don't remember the year they were founded and I am too lazy to look it up, but they did attempt to become an IMG type of academy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks Defiantly had a Super-team going and everyone was complaining about it... They didn’t play a tough schedule, etc.... I am pretty sure Montana’s SR year Oaks lost to Serra Gardenia in the Section title game... Like you though, I am too lazy to look it all up...🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodysurf Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 This past offseason MD denied more transfer requests than those they accepted. #fact Perhaps this was a reaction to the Dollars and Criddell debacle but they didn't want egg on their face again. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every transfer is likely to be an impact capable player. I’m sure there are transfers that might only ever see the field during practice.

Absolutely. Dollars and Criddell were outliers. Nobody is shrugging it off and it went a long way to how things were handled this offseason. As an alumni it was a huge embarrassment and black eye for the program. The reality is that MD danced with the devil and the optics of the situation couldn’t be worse. Yes they accepted those kids who perhaps only intended to attend MD for a semester. But to say that MD willingly sold their soul to win is not the truth. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But hey, we stunk it up that night. We are just doing the best we can with those we've got, and trying to win another state championship. The best we could have hoped for was a #4 finish nationally anyways due to the 3 recruiting factories that were guaranteed the top 3 spots before the season ever started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing was a mess and MD Admin won’t let that happen again. Case in point: not only did MD turn away several high profile transfers this year, but they lost a 4⭐️ and a 5⭐️ that transferred out due to not being able to graduate early. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
