FriNiLites Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Most if not all Private Schools offer financial assistance - which is in no way unethical as long as the application process is consistently applied. This practice as you describe it is not illegal either. That is not the discussion.The discussion is whether Kelly offers financial assistance to certain students due to athletic purpose. And like it or not - Kelly boosters do practice this. The school does not care where the tuition payments come from, and yes these kids that do receive it do follow the application process as do all recepients of financial aid.Call it what you want to - but if boosters are making tuition payments on behalf of families of student athletes for the purpose of attracting them to Kelly High School it is recruitment. And yes, it is illegal.now, giving financial aid to a ballplayer just to get him here...I am 100% against it!I'd rather go 0-10.I can appreciate your stance against recruiting and going 0 - 10. But I know of a few current Kelly boosters and parents of Kelly athletes who are not going to go 0 - 10 in football, basketball, mens baseball or womens softball. It is what it is.
Mr. Buddy Garrity Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Why so many PA athletes?better education??????
24 over par Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 it is why the privates should never be allowed to be a part of the uilbecause call it what you want they recruit
Guest FPHS 78 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 it is why the privates should never be allowed to be a part of the uilbecause call it what you want they recruitI wish they could (no more district games in Austin), Strake in Houston does.......I don't think it would be the problem you do...plus, throw out stiffer guidelines and harsh penalties
SFA85 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 I wish they could (no more district games in Austin), Strake in Houston does.......I don't think it would be the problem you do...plus, throw out stiffer guidelines and harsh penaltiesSJ in Houston and in Dallas probably recruit but the UIL has them playing in 5A for that reason plus they have no attendance zones.
GoatHerder Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 I am not going to name any names or say what year it was but back not too long ago I know I had several calls from Kelly HS wanting me to come play for them...is that not recruiting??
warfan Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 well we do recruit but thats not the only reason why we are good. we have TONS of talent that came to kelly on their own accord.True. Kelly's kids have more heart than most school could never even imagine. They also have the winning tradition. Recruits help but they are just a part of Kelly's package.
Guest ndn09 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Posted September 20, 2007 Hey I wonder why they can't recruit anybody over there can yall tell me why that is reason.
SETXsports Broadcaster Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 I just didnt have the money :'( :'( :'( :'(
Guest FPHS 78 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 SJ in Houston and in Dallas probably recruit but the UIL has them playing in 5A for that reason plus they have no attendance zones. attendance zones? nobody in beaumont has true attendance zones.pretty much a free for all....i think everybody in beaumont could go to WB if they wanted, cuz central and ozen are deemed "underperforming" schools
Guest KirbyKat Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 And JoCovan Brown and all the other kids from PA want a good catholic education. Right. Private school play by a separate set of rules. recruiting is very much part of Kelly HS. It might be called something different, but it happens.
Guest ndn09 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 so that is the reason why they cannot recruit over in Kelly
SFA85 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 attendance zones? nobody in beaumont has true attendance zones.pretty much a free for all....i think everybody in beaumont could go to WB if they wanted, cuz central and ozen are deemed "underperforming" schoolsNot only are Central and Ozen Acedemically Acceceptible as of 06-07 but the principal @Central was awarded Region 5 Principal of the year. Plus WB only holds 1700 and has 2500 with many kids sharing lockers. Perception vs. reality FP......
Cardinal Supporter Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 If any alumini want to foot the tuition for an athelete to play for Kelly then you can call it "RECRUITING" if you want to. However, it is the alumini that is doing the recruiting and not Kelly high school or the catholic dioceses doing it. I know a lot of poeple believe that Kelly is purposely recruiting but I am not sure if that is really happening. I am not calling anybody a lier but I do find it hard to believe. There are a lot of poeple that have said that WOS recruits but I doubt that anyone could prove it.
adminbaberuth Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 I seen Kelly's 8th grade team, one of the best. They have athletes all over that field.
UKCats Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 So would you call transferring parents with talented athletes to a nearby plant in a particular attendance zone recruiting??? Because that is what Barbers Hill does and they are a public school.
wos08 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 There are a lot of poeple that have said that WOS recruits but I doubt that anyone could prove it. Hell yea, we recruited cory bell from california :D
daKdog Posted September 21, 2007 Author Report Posted September 21, 2007 i want to make it clear that we recieve between 5 and 10 calls per week from kids at PA that want to come here!whats wrong with a catholic educaton? that why i go there!!A player failed some subjects here at Kelly and was not allowed to re-enroll!!
Guest FPHS 78 Posted September 21, 2007 Report Posted September 21, 2007 i want to make it clear that we recieve between 5 and 10 calls per week from kids at PA that want to come here!whats wrong with a catholic educaton? that why i go there!!Jacovin Brown failed some subjects here at Kelly and was not allowed to re-enroll!
