Like i said you may not have gotten the better players but you have gotten players that help you win nothing gets said about the SETX schools that have done it and won. Everyone gets transfers from time to time. Sometimes those transfers happen to really benefit athletic clubs. And yes everyone knows that sometimes those transfers have been recruited. I wish that never happened but that’s less obvious and more manageable to deal with. But when teams start bringing in 4 and 5 recruits in the same year ( not in the course of 5 or 10 years) it becomes more obvious what’s going on and it’s a real blow to the integrity of the game. You being on this site I would guess you are a fan of the game. You having that great man on your profile I would think you valued integrity. If those things were true of you, why would you be supporting recruitment of HS players in public schools?

(Not sure which HS you attended) SFA. And yes. You?? Not sure what that has to do with Yates and HJ & crying about Yates "recruiting"....

Not sure what that has to do with Yates and HJ & crying about Yates "recruiting".... I’m asking bc it usually helps having ‘been there’ and understanding the topic at hand. Did you ever attempt to recruit kids from PATJ or Lincoln to okay at SFA or vice versa? And for the record, I earned 9 letters while playing 4 sports in HS at Nederland. I know for a FACT that I worked harder than anyone else at being the best I could be. So I understand putting in more ‘work’ in the gym as Mamba suggested. But no way was my team ever going to be HS opponent with 5 college players on it. Edited February 28, 2020 by Honest Abe
AggiesAreWe Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 4 of the 5 transfers to Yates this year are seniors. If that's not a red flag, what is? I know schools get transfers. But when you get 3,4,5 a year and they are one sport players (not just students) and seniors to boot, that's suspicious. 5GallonBucket, Pepper Brooks, Honest Abe and 1 other 1 3

I understand the topic at hand, do you? Show me proof Yates recruiting. And when you find it the uil number is posted, your letters have absolutely nothing to do with this topic, no one cares. 😎

oldschool2 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 How about this.. unless moving in as a junior high student, ALL TRANSFERS sit one calendar year. No matter the reason. If it's because of education (which is apparently the case), then sitting a year in varsity sports won't have any affect on the schooling. It's broken. But nobody is offering a better solution. You can't just punish one school. What is a fair solution that will be a rule across the board? bullets13 and Tigers94 2
Tigers94 Posted February 28, 2020 Report Posted February 28, 2020 On the bright side, Yates is a senior heavy team this year. We'll see what they look like next year. They were at least beatable these past few seasons up until this one.

That they need to put In the work ,get in the gym and work on your game . They don’t hand out participation trophies which is what some of you are looking for. GET IN THE GYM AND GET BETTER !!!! PERIOD!!!!! And coaches get better watch tons of film see how you can play multiple styles the game is evolving if you don’t evolve with you’ll get left behind. I don't agree with a lot of things you say on this board, but I agree 100% with this statement.

In that case they only have to sit 15 days. That's why bigger cities have a monopoly on this.. because it's so simple to change your permanent address via apartment complex. Setx fan 1

Jerome Solomon is incapable of writing or saying anything that doesn't suit whatever it is he believes that day. I've heard him many times contradict himself on ESPN 97.5 in the same segment.
