South Side 0 South Bend St Joe 14 2nd qtr

Northside 34 New Haven 0 Halftime

I read it. No fan of it. Just trying to not get the thread locked down.

I really do like Dinan..more so than tippy..but damn the Carroll alumni make it tough to root for them..

Rumors n hyperbole...still..

I'm intrigued. What happened?

I do remember seeing Spencer dunk in 8th grade for queen of angels..or st Therese..I’ll give the cyo that..

Same reason why Thomas didn't go to Northside?

I'm wondering how current coaches combat this? Do they have someone on staff that purely checks the energy of the players and parents in the program? Are these coaches blindsided by the transfers or at least hear the rumblings? Not saying they need to cater to every kid, just if my star rb is on the verge of leaving id hope someone puts a bug in my ear to let me decide how to handle it if I choose to..of course hypothetically speaking..

I was always a Jordan fan myself!! I agree with you!!

I'll give you that. I never thought I'd see the day so many kids would be allowed to transfer. Neighborhood kids enjoyed creating rivalries with surrounding neighborhoods or having a cross town rival..now they all go workout together during the off-season and speak of creating super teams..Loyalty has been left behind..

Lots of love for Luers yet no one bats an eye when a kid shows up freshman year that didn't go through the cyo ranks..talent development just doesn't start at the high school level..are these new coaches promising starting spots and exposure, probably. Bowen helped shape the new offense Snider ran when they started making runs with Tippman, his scheme catered to the strengths of the offense at Northrop. Those players could have went anywhere, can't blame him..Dwenger backup qb transfers from Luers and ends up playing against roncalli..it happens. Bowen n those Bruins beat Snider twice and it could have been 1 point both times..still hadn't been done in over 2 decades.

Not many "solid" programs venture out n get a younger head coach either..Luers got blessed with coach k..what Bowen did at Northrop was an eye opener..if the Damon Bailey rule applies then fwcs schools may need to counter

I want to see how they fare in 4a first. No doubt parents believe he may be able to assist in their kids recruiting by just knowing the right people. During the youth playoffs for a summer league, parents spoke more about north side than ever. With recent coaching changes at Northrop the legends will see talented freshman and more transfers show up. If he can get those assistants in line the city may be in trouble..

I think with Jaylon running the show, the legends will make smarter offensive decisions. Them being unable to win the field position battle really put them in unfortunate situations. There is no way they an egg against New Haven…..right?
