Formerly Number 39

I posted this on another thread, but we have NIL for high school players here in California. It hasn't really changed the landscape that much, if at all. The power programs before NIL are still the power programs with NIL.

This is so true!

We have NIL for high school players here in California, but I haven't really seen that much impact, yet. The power programs before NIL are the same power programs after its implementation.

Would the free transfer be exercisable any time after the student's freshmen year or only exercisable between a student's freshmen and sophomore year?

Here is a good article summarizing how it's done here in Southern California: Explaining the new Southern Section football playoff format - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)

I totally get what you are saying, seems like adults trying to manufacture a level of excitement for the players. It just looks/ feels flat. That said, short of Marcus Freeman coming around that corner as the new HC, who would have delivered the level of excitement the administration was hoping to receive. But winning has a way of generating excitement, that will be the real test.

If the IHSAA created an "Open Class" that was intended to be comprised of the best 32 teams in the state, regardless of enrollment numbers, and inclusion was voluntary, would they be able to fill it?

Did Coach Yeoman win a title while HC?

They don't seem to be having a problem losing in the sectionals with one high school!

I thought about asking this same question. Hard to get a read from as far away as I am but glad I'm not the only one with the same observation.
