Perhaps they'd finish at the bottom of that league, but that's because someone would have to end up last. Heritage beat them on a FG at the buzzer last year. Their worst outcome by far was a game they trailed STA 26-14 after 3 quarters. CG was better than every 7A and 8A team not named STA. They'd obviously fit better in a league than Davie Nova. But if Cardinal Gibbons can be that good than practically anyone can. Let's just stick to like vs. like. If Cardinal Gibbons can win 3 titles in 4 years then certainly Monsignor Pace can. Archbishop McCarthy could, Cardinal Newman could, Gulliver Prep certainly could. American Heritage-Delray. The list goes on. That's just in South Florida and that's not even counting any publics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atticus Finch Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 3 minutes ago, badrouter said: OK. So, the point of the thread is to discuss ways in which such changes can happen in a way where most everyone benefits, rather than letting shysters come in and make themselves the center of attention at the expense of the schools and kids. I think everyone would benefit in that scenario. The national programs that have clearly separated themselves would play each other (of those ~1,000 schools we mentioned in the top 10%) and the rest would get their own system where they could compete with each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louisiana will keep doing their thing forever. Without Louisiana High School football there can really be no LSU. May never have a another national championship team again, but who cares? Maybe MaxPreps, Calpreps and etc..... some goofy fanboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chalmetteowl Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 39 minutes ago, badrouter said: oh, my mistake. Sure, 90% sounds about right. But I think the problem arises when they end up having to face those types of teams anyway. I think that 90% mostly wants to play others from the 90%, not get bludgeoned by the 10% loading up on stars. That’s very realistic though. 90% of teams over the course of a season will play at least one team who whoops them, whether it happens once or 8 times. you say 10% will load up on stars. That’s about 30 teams just in LA. I think most teams would gladly line up against the 30th best team in LA without any issues. Doesn’t mean they will win, but there will be a football game. now I will give you that there are probably 10% of teams that shouldn’t. They know who they are 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ga96 Posted July 29, 2022 Report Share Posted July 29, 2022 Just my opinion. Transfers should be banned from playing in the playoffs their first year of transferring. That way if they need it they'll still have 10 games worth of film. It'll also stop kids from transferring to multiple schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to change for me, even with degenerative disk disease in recent years and very little golf being played other than on ultimate golf app. I started with the screen name 12 yrs ago or so and stand behind every post… and it’s a shame we lost all the archived data from back to Rivals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment, it doesn't appear as if anyone other than shysters are thinking ahead on how to make this work. High school coaches focus solely on their teams and their areas. State associations only focus on their own states. There doesn't seem to be any consideration given to the way the game is changing on a "macro" level. NIL, open enrollment, 7v7, and the culture of merging forces to form super teams are all rapidly changing the nature of HS football. The 7v7 teams are recruiting players from all over. Two of Lakeland's DBs played for 7v7 traveling teams based in Miami, one of whom won a large national tourney over Cam Newton's sqaud in Las Vegas. Football is getting to be much more like AAU basketball. I think everyone will end up better off if some effort is made to imagine how to manage the sport with these evolving conditions.

Duckburghsfinest1987 Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 it seems doubtful, very doubtful, but i want to keep the dream or hope alive, as in, i really hope a California Public HS can win a National Title, win a Natty or an MNC in HS football, i will keep the desire for wanting to see that happen someday in my lifetime, but i don't see it happening with the current landscape.

They aren't representing much of what most people understand as high school football in general. I really don't care about them much myself. If they weren't being posted in polls or pimped by ree rees, I wouldn't even know their name. When we played Miami Central, the visitor stands wound up being almost full. When we played IMG, there *might* have been 30 visitors. There certainly weren't enough to have one parent/fan per player. I thought it was pretty sad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My problem is those that do the same but pretend to be regular schools. md sjb grayson lee sta etc... If you can't tell the difference between IMG and its goals and methods and Grayson, you are far less informed than I gave you credit for and that wasn't much. IMG's stated goal is to improve athletes' skills to improve their chances of a college scholarship leading to a professional career. They do this with on campus residential facilities and an academic schedule tailored around the sport skills training and practice. It costs big bucks to attend. None of those goals or characteristics apply to Grayson and the fact you don't recognize that is a sad commentary on you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty obvious who I am everywhere as I am a Grayson supporter and I write the same way everywhere. I don't have multiple accounts. Shoot, I have a hard enough time remembering what I write as Fred much less trying to keep up with multiple accounts. People's writing styles are hard to disguise or emulate. That's why those of us who have chatted with Rab for years could recognize that was not the real Rab who was posting as him. It was close but no cigar for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s no different for public/private when it comes to NIL. Not sure why you want the split so bad. You’re beating other public schools by 85 points. If you separate, they’re just going to want to separate from you guys eventually because you and 99.99% of the publics aren’t in the same world.
