dean1345 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 When I see Bishop Gorman or IMG ranked #1 & # 2 in national ranking it is a joke. King of the recruiters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTAlum07 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Unless IMG starts opening multiple locations in each state, and being allowed to compete for public school state championships I don't see a problem with what they are doing. If a kid's family feels like that is the best option for them then that is their choice. Mythical national championships or #1 rankings are meaningless in the big picture.

I agree with this 100%, and high school coaches probably need to figure out that they are really recruiting their own kids every day. We live in a transient society where everybody is mobile. Any kid in any program is able to up and move at just about any time. Coach your kids like you are recruiting them to stay in your program every day. If you do this then the high school football experience will probably be better for the kids and the coaches and the fans and the administration.

Mr. P Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Same... I don't like it, but I believe in the free market and freedom of choice. Coaches can exert their freedom by refusing to schedule them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a student last year create his own IMG style Academy, for a business club competition, with locations across the country and potential growth worldwide. It wasn't that expensive and the marketing took care of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoePride88 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 When players transfer to these dchools - obviously for sports-specific reasons - are they immediately eligible? Because - and I don't know about public schools in other states - having to sit out a year is a deterrent here in Texas. And no, it is NOT that easy for ANY Texas HS athlete to just transfer to another school, especially not simply to play for a "better" program. Not to mention, God forbid, we should get into an actual discussion of the ethics of this topic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavchamp Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 If public school coaches are so concerned about these academies and private schools being detrimental to their programs... then STOP scheduling them!!! Â They have nothing if no one will play them. Game over. Â Simplest solution IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JZM Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Well if you want to pay $48.000 a year to send your kid do it....... We can't even keep the best kids in Texas anymore to many mom and pop politics in local towns now. As we await the national championship game tomorrow you'll see two programs that are going different directions than the Texas schools, and if you can place your kid in IMG do it asap he'll get a full ride Texas AM has two recruits for this year, Clemson, and O-State Buckeyes has IMG recruits, were so for behind in Texas its a joke. Lets look at our mess in Texas and fix it and don't worry about Florida High School or Nevada High School sport program. Same old messy Texas #### no wonder schools are waiting to run from Big 12 OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSooners.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johntylerfan Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Dan Patrick's upcoming private school/charter/voucher agenda is going to be a greater threat to Texas public schools than IMG. Watch and see. It started today with the release of the A-F school grading report that is a farce. This times a million! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas and Florida are the top 2 states to recruit in still... so what the heck are you talking about? Texas isn't behind... Texas just doesn't have the horrible education that forces the need for private schools like you see all over Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.

blesseddaily Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Like others have said above...it's the parents choice to send their kids anywhere they want and it's the other schools choice to play or not play them...pretty simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
