Be honest, you just wanted to tell us Clacks (with multiple P5 Offers) is transferring to Merrillville. It's going to be great watching Marshall own that program.

Haha ironic that PirateFan and this name were both online 1 hour ago. I’ve never seen a guy be so invested into a program that he has no say in 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I can’t confirm or deny clacks I had heard all year that when the season was over he was going to Hobart or merrillville. Because he wasn’t a fan of the Andrean school system and he didn’t wanna start over as a senior with low expectations. At least that comes from the parents that know his family that are at merrillville. If he comes great. If he goes to Hobart great. The kid is a phenomenal athlete with great hands 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do these kids feel they have a better chance to play more often at these other schools or just a better chance for team success after Bowen departure? Seems oddly ironic timing to an outsider.

Comeing from a merrillville stand point being that we age parents that coached the kid in pop Warner and some of them are best friends with his family.. it was said before the year started that it was bowen a departure and there are 5-7 more leaving to go back different DAC schools. Most of them I believe lake central Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastpacedO Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I fail to see where the news is actually breaking? With no links or story sounds like just a rumor which is frowned upon on the GID. Even if true is it super important or breaking. If the WR were Tyreek Hill, the Safety Ed Reed then I could see it being important breaking news.

Not a shot at Andrean but it's a fair question given that they are leaving now. There are parents & coaches who steer kids to programs with big time uncommitted recruits because that's where the scouts will be. Did they go to Andrean because of Bowen and are transferring now for something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People leave p/p education much more often for public pastures than I think folks realize. I've posted a few times on the p/p "break" points in education. A break during high school is less likely than the other break points ... after K/1st, after 2nd/3rd grade, after 6th/7th grade, and after 8th grade ... but it does happen and is more common than folks might think. In my experience, the flow OUT of p/p to public often nets out in favor of the public schools in terms of bodies. The main reason that you don't hear about it as often is that, in the scheme of things you typically only hear about it with sports, but I can almost say that for every one student-athlete that you hear that leaves a p/p in high school, I bet there are at least another 3-4 non-athletes that you don't hear about.

I know Lafayette Jeff can thank the Catholics for a lot of their success in sports over the years. When Jeff went 10-0 in 1981 and 1982, the best player on those teams was Catholic. There is a list a mile long of Catholics playing sports at Jeff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the rumor I'd heard is that Vlahogeorge and Keller attended Catholic elementary schools before settling at Jeff. Don't know if anyone can confirm or not.

Don't know if anyone can confirm or not. I'm not sure about them. Bob Downing was Catholic and was assistant football coach and head coach from 1985-1994 at Jeff. His sons Joe and Doug Downing played at Jeff from 1979-1982. Paul "Spider"Fields was the baseball coach at Jeff for many years and his teams won state in 1969 and 1973. Paul was Catholic. The 1992 Jeff basketball team went to state and lost in OT. Courtney Harris and Brad Knoy were Catholic and were both stars on that team. Carson Harris went to St. Lawrence grade school and was the best player on the 1996 Jeff basketball team that went to the final four. Chris Deno was Catholic and played football for Harrison on the 1989 and 1990 teams. Jason Sowders went to St. Lawrence and played football for Jeff in 1991 and 1992. He was their best D player. These are just some of the names off the top of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grover Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Seeing pizza squares on the menu made every day better. If a school doesn't offer pizza squares then transferring to a school that does should be acceptable in all cases. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
