You have got to be kidding me. I guess this is the kind of crap we're going to start seeing. Get ready for HS NIL and a HS Transfer portal. It's coming. Ridiculous.

If a high school kid gets a part time job while he’s in school, we call him industrious. If your kid was a whiz at math, what’s wrong with enrolling him in a school where he can develop that ability to the fullest? Why do we look at athletics differently than “real life?” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do we look at athletics differently than “real life?” Just spitballing here, but Columbus North was among the worst basketball teams in the area this past winter and the Football team is in the same sectional as CG. This will turnout about as spectacularly as most transfers around these parts. This is as much about JC’s musical chairs in the basketball office as anything.

Parker might not even play basketball anymore. In my opinion, he'd better served up lift and run track, he is an excellent basketball player, though.

I liked the old days better, too. But I am hard-pressed to come up with logical arguments against extending NIL and free transfers, to high school players. Maybe you have one?

Floyd Central just won 18 HHC Championships this school year. Do you want them to be able to legally recruit too? That's my argument. Leave it alone. Let HS kids be HS kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have a well rounded sports school. This area is a little underrated in Athletics. I think there are 4 baseball teams in Semi-State. Jeffersonville Basketball is my pick to win the 4A State Championship next winter. It's definitely not just FC. Silver Creek has great players. Providence. New Albany. Basketball summer league starts tonight. Not too many regions put that on. I think even teams like Seymour and Jennings County will be playing in it.

Jeffersonville brings quite a few kids over from Louisville. Basketball wise. If they're doing it for Football they should probably stop. They always seem to have an Aunt or Uncle living over here.

I just think the notion that he thinks he has to play for a 6A football program to get noticed is stupid. I can understand the thinking that it’s hard to get noticed at Jennings County. Their history and their schedule don’t help them. However, I don’t see how Columbus North is much better just because they’re in 6A. I think program prestige and location are the primary factors in getting noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when everyone always uploads their highlights to Hudl or whatever it’s called. It’s easier to find recruits today than ever before thanks to technology. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqbcoach1 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 (edited) Elmore is sitting the first 3 games (365 days).. and will be eligible week 4. Looking like Norths QB last year might be having thumb surgery and unable to play QB this season. Edited June 7 by btownqbcoach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that we have a kid from Louisville that is a RB and is supposed to be really good but he can't play until week 4 I think.
