Or maybe the kid should just stay put and not let him or his parents get influenced to leave

The parents should be ashamed as well, but their punishment is that their kid doesn’t get to play ball. The schools should not get off Scott free. There needs to be consequences for these schools.

What needs to happen is if XX high school contacts a kid he and his parents should report it if he wants to stay where he is currently at

That’s nonsense. It’s illegal to recruit. It doesn’t matter if he wants to stay where he currently is at or not. What should happen is the school that recruits the player should be punished. Right now, the only person that gets punished is the kid while the school faces no repercussions.

Often times it is a parent or a representative of the player who investigates the new school.

I doubt very seriously coaches are "recruiting" . WTBS let these kids go wherever they would like to go. There's no need for anyone to be anywhere they don't want to be.... at least within reason.

In west jones case, coaches and administrators have been recruiting. I can’t speak for petal coaches.

I actually agree with this for a few reasons but obviously… within the rules written.

It doesn’t matter if kids leave due to a team just not being good or because they don’t feel like they’re skills will be shown to help them get to the next level,  like an offense being run that is archaic. They may leave due to someone playing their position and they can’t beat them out. At the end of the day, do you really want a player in your locker room and parents in your community that don’t want to be there? No way! It brings nothing but a negative atmosphere to your team. Let em go! Nothing better than beating an ex-coach or a team that has an ex-player that thought the grass was greener. You can either improve your program to make kids want to stay or prove they and their parents chose wrong.

Lol. Sounds like your school got busted recruiting. Why can’t your own school just develop the players that are there instead of trying to poach kids from somebody else?

If the legislature gets the votes, it’ll be a moot point. Everyone will get one move in HS with no penalty.

Actually my Alma Mater was the one who beat the team with the kids that switched schools years ago. Not one year but twice and neither game was close, while the other team missed the playoffs both years. Both players went on and did great in college, so sort of a win win. I could say “Why can’t your school be a school where kids want to be rather than jump ship?” People aren’t making kids and parents move, they’re doing that themselves. If it’s for good reason, good for them. If not, In my experience, the good guys always win and karma is undefeated.

If you move to the school, there’s nothing that can be done to stop a kid from playing. But a player just can’t go live with a coach or some random person just to go play sports somewhere they have been recruited to.

If the parents move to another school district, then there is no foul. The issue is some schools, usually smaller schools, have a stud athlete that bigger school want to poach. So they contact the kid and get him to come “live” with some friend or relative in another district. An example would be a kid from Mize was recruited by an administrator at west jones high school a few years ago. They said the kid “moved” to soso and lived with his aunt. That was false. The kid lived in mize the entire time he went to school at west jones. That’s the kind of stuff these bigger schools have been getting away with that now some smaller schools are starting to fight back against. And unfortunately it’s causing some of these players to have to miss an entire season now.

I’m sure there are Lots of shadiness that goes on no doubt which is why I said do you really want those kind of people willing to do all of that on your team. Maybe they have good reason to leave and can’t afford to move or maybe they’re chasing a trophy or following bad advice. If a kid misses a season for breaking the rules, that’s on the parents and the coach recruiting them. AKA karma.

The law they are attempting to pass would change it. They would no longer be required to move. They would get one free transfer as long as they are accepted to the new school district.

Was Page ruled ineligible at West Jones? Is he back at Stringer?

It’s Sinegal not Page. I’ve heard on the grapevine he was officially ruled ineligible at some point last week. Someone can confirm this that follows West Jones closer. I do know for a fact he is not back at Stringer though, and him going back is out of the question. I heard Wayne Academy may be a possibility, but I don’t know that for sure. Just rumors going around.

Funny you say that, Heidelberg has a kid staying with a coach this year and he’s not from there

Well the school where that kid should be at should report it to the MHSAA. If his family still lives in another school district, the kid cannot legally go to Heidelberg. Since you know a lot about collins, I’m going to assume you are talking about the kid from collins.

Well if the school where the player should be at doesn’t notify the mhsaa, won’t nothing be done about it.
