That doesn’t equal recruiting He already had offers before he transferred. PCS doesn’t have a problem with getting kids offers. Moving to oak grove only presented more risk than benefit than anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubaction Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 9 hours ago, Chunky6617 said: It’s not a matter of offering a player anything. It’s simply getting in their ear and convincing them to come play for them instead. Kids build relationships with coaches all over the area and state from the time they start playing ball. Good luck stopping those kind of non rule breaking conversations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a kid wants to be seen to gain legit college offers, he’s gonna have to play at a school where he can shine. That’s the same all over. Compare the offers at PCS to the offers at OG. Any implication that offers and interest are the same At both places is comical. Everyone knows that’s not true.

Kids in Hattiesburg area should not have a problem getting offers if they want them. USM, Tulane, South Alabama, JSU, Alcorn along with Jones, Pearl River, and Gulf Coast are near by. SE Louisiana is also close by. GET to camp to be seen and learn.GET offers. On 12/31/2025 at 8:38 AM, Old Golfer said: Bigger schools robbing the smaller ones, but MHSAA won’t step in and stop it. Only the school board or superintendent can stop it by law if I am correct. Your probably going to here from a lawyer if you vote down the release I will assume u will.

He wasn’t trying to get seen. He was already on teams radar. Heck I think he was actually already commited to Arkansas state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are 2 very different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Bert Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 2 hours ago, JRoss1958 said: No sir they didn’t I suppose if you live in western Lamar County with a Columbia address you might get away with going to Columbia. Similar with a Morton or Forest address in Northern Smith County you could get away with going to Morton/Forest instead of Raleigh. Especially if the address is never investigated. That might be one example of crossing school zone lines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you’re trying to insinuate that the school attended has 0% to do with the offers a kid gets, I’m not buying what you’re selling. But hey - you’re entitled to your opinion.

You said there were less risks to transferring to a bigger school. Anytime a kid already has offers, there are always MORE risks when transferring anywhere, it especially to a bigger school. If you don’t already have offers, or your only offers are JUCO, then it may could be less of a risk. But not when you are already on a lot of teams radar. I mean heck, the starting QB for PCS’s dad is now the GM for USM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Bert Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 If a kid wants a scholarship offer he has to attend camps. Moncrief and Get both attended camps in Mississippi and out of state. They multiple offers. Bottom line is you don't have to play at a larger school to get an offer. The likely hood of a recruiter gets to see you at Oak Grove vs say Lumberton is more likely. They probably show up at Hattiesburg, Oak Grove, Bassfield, West Jones, most any Friday night they want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Golfer Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Kids don’t get offers by what high school they attend!!! Kids get offers by college camps. First you need the measurables, then college camps. That comes from Vardaman or Tupelo- doesn’t matter what high school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way the kid thinks he can get a ring at Tupelo or Oak Grove he wants to transfer. As long as he does it legally then its legit.

Old Golfer Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Is it legit for people to contact said kid and make offers, aid in moves or addresses? Not according to MHSAA rules. But those are doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pancho Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 It's legal for parents to contact schools about registration and initiate contact. happens almost daily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now if the school doesn’t fight it, then nothing will happen. I wish these smaller schools would fight back to stop these bigger schools from poaching their players.

pancho Posted January 4 Author Share Posted January 4 man I know folks who sold a house and made a bona fide move for several different sports and a few even acted like they separated and had 1 parent get mail in the school of choices district. Momma got a job 1 time at a nearby company which was owned by a player parent at the new school so they moved. A school can't stop either of these instances.

And btw - I never said “less” risk. Risk is risk - physically and otherwise. You cannot predict injury, coaching changes, etc. Edited January 4 by Football In MS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Bert Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 3 hours ago, pancho said: I know this much when my ex wife and officially got divorced in 2000 I looked up the rules in the mhsaa handbook at the time regarding divorced parents and where the kids live as to their being able to play once they got in high school. I will have to look it up again but legally they will be required to play at the school of the custodial parent. So if there is a separation or completed divorce its where that custodial parent lives. Nothing will surprise me that this happens all the time that some couples legally do this because Brandon or Taylorsville have good teams this is where they choose to do so. I do think the kid should set out until the judge signs the divorce decree. Don't get me wrong our situation involved 2 other schools.
