Rufus69 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Somewhere around 9:00 am this morning...the proverbial "catshit" will hit the fan at GHSA headquarters. Will Valdosta win their appeal? Will Rush escape another attempt on his livelihood? Will the Jake Garcia hafta give back his State Championship ring? Will the banned INELIGIBLES be granted a reprieve? These questions and more will be answered by the Quorum Of Four. Valdosta may never be the same...or...this thing could shake out as...same ole - same ole. Both Lime Sink and North Morven are steering clear of this mess. Either which way it comes out...I can guarantee you...SOMEBODY is gonna be UNHAPPY. Rufus>> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The AHSAA has only changed a ruling one time that I know of in history of the organization. That was with Muscle Shoals high school over recruiting.

Ga96 Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Valdosta rising 10th&9th grade will be in the running for a state championship no matter who the coach is. Colquitt rising 11th&10th grade will be in contention for a state championship Lowndes rising 8th,9th,10th will be in the running for multiple state championships and possibly a MNC. Considering kids stay where they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. The rules were pointed out to the players and they chose to follow the rules. Maybe if the 229elite bus driver had bothered to ask the player instead of recruiting his mom, they would have known that the player did not want to transfer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to stay but was being told what to do by his parent and because he is a good kid, he was doing what he was told. Once the facts of the undue influence were pointed out, his parent had no choice but to give in and allow the young man to stay where HE WANTED TO BE.

I have no idea, but my vivid imagination says... Hewitt parents were doing the same at 7 on 7 camps in Alabama. So the AHSAA called the Hewitt Coaches, AD, Principal to Montgomery had a come to Jesus meeting. That practice stopped. Why the GHSA has not stepped in if anything is going illegal with 7 on 7 recruiting and put a stop to it. Seems like they would want to stop a problem before it happens. Just another example of the AHSAA doing a good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HawgGoneIt Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 There's a whole lot wrong with some of these camps and even twitter personalities and all that operate by pumping these kid's and their parents' heads full. A lot of it is on the edge of legality as it pertains to undue influence and all. It's even more crazy when you have coaches that work for certain schools involved in the camp or 7v7 or twitter handles. It doesn't take a lot to be considered undue influence and if people from other schools not involved with these camps start filing complaints, it could get hairy. These guys think they're smart and above boards but really they're in the same boat as Rush was that just got ruled on by the GHSA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iff’n I understand you correctly, your former coach may have hoodoo’d the kids parents into thinking all would be well if they transferred and they’d have more opportunities for scholarships if they transferred? You don’t have to answer. Just blink once for yes, twice for yes. Or don’t blink for yes. Whatever’s easiest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
