Speaking of recruiting, Taylorsville’s head coach has been working his butt off in recruiting and it’s finally paid off a little bit. He has been trying to recruit a handful of mize kids for a couple years now and he finally convinced one of our better 10th graders to move. The only reason he will get away with this one is because the kid already lives in Taylorsville and always has. The former superintendent a few years ago moved him to Mize basically to rehab him because he stayed in trouble in Tville and was failing while in elementary school. He came to Mize a few years ago and turned everything around. Agee has been trying to get him back at Tville for a while now and he finally got him. He’s a good athlete, hopefully for him he doesn’t fall back into old habits now that he’s back at Tville.

Did they grow up in HPSD too? The word going around is Hattiesburg has been poaching players heavily the last few years.

Ive only heard of two that have come in. And one had to because his dad was named the head baseball coach. And the kid from FCAHS. But if anyone has come in from somewhere else i haven’t heard about it.

I been a practice and have not seen any new kids. How can the kid live in Taylorsville and play at Mize. Which kids is he trying to recruit from Mize. I know he has a cousin that goes to Mize but he hasn’t reached out to him or the kid dad who is Agee great uncle or something like that

He went to school in Taylorsville in elementary school, but he stayed in trouble and was always being suspended and failing class. The superintendent at that time then made him go to Mize, hoping it would give him a fresh start and help the kid. Well it worked. He became a better student, made better grades, and got in less trouble. He was a really good young athlete. Agee has been trying to convince him to come back to Tville for a couple years. But this last year as a true freshmen he was upset that he wasn’t playing as much as he thought he should be playing and started telling everybody he was gonna go back to Tville, and he is. He’s not been to any practices because I think he may be playing travel baseball but you will see him eventually. As for the other players he’s tried to recruit from Mize, it’s our best player Gray and our QB/LB Agee. He’s also buddies with a guy from Magee that’s also tried to recruit those players for him. This guy (his friend) has been trying to convince different players to leave Mize for a couple years with no success, mostly to Simpson academy, including my son who will also be a senior next year, and that I would never allow to happen anyway. Kind of disappointed to see it happen, because our head coach has always liked Agee and has a lot of good things to say about him. But I guess that’s what high school sports has become now. Everybody recruits now I guess.

The kid from north Forrest is a RB, and they recruited him 2 years ago.

They use their youth league to do alot of recruiting. Them, oak grove, and Columbia had been doing it for a while. Scott central used to do it too, they poached alot of players from Forest. That’s when Scott central got really good in 2A and won some state championships and Forest was suffering for a little bit. Forest now has kind of put the clamps on it.

I dont believe getting 5th 6th graders from youth leagues is recruiting. Kids that age arent truly developed and you cant tell whether or not he will be good in high school

There are some that you know will be studs. And yes they absolutely do recruit them. At Hattiesburg they even find houses for them at good prices to move to, and even try to find jobs for their parents. And there’s nothing illegal about that. As long as the player moves into the district, it’s fine. But there are some of those kids that move into the district initially, then eventually move back out of the district but keep going to school at Hattiesburg.

Youth football in Mississippi has become an absolute circus with recruiting. It’s digusting what these “adults” are doing to a child’s game.

Talking about the dude that does the Tik toks? I think he’s from Magee. I know he does a lot of content for different teams but I know he does a lot of videos for Taylorsville.

Laurel been using their youth league the same way to get kids from jones, Wayne and jasper counties. Laurels most recent big 3 o linemen that went to the sec all should have been at west jones.  One of their wr’s should have been northeast jones.  Couple d linemen from Wayne county.  Actually laurels d line/strength coach was their big “recruiter” and he just left them for Wayne county.  Corey Reynolds now on Laurel staff as o line coach.  Also rumors they hired jack hankins. Kids are trying to bail on Laurel now. As I said earlier, most of the kids are invtext and chat groups with each other. I have seen screen shots of the conversations.  They do talk to each other and try to te riot each other. As soon as one finds out they have relatives in the other district whims address they can use its game on. Laurel kids know the stuff that happened behind the scenes at WJ at they are trying to get out of they can. Kids trying to get out of northeast jones as well.  I know at least 2 Hattiesburg was after from o saw in the screenshots.  A few other specific cases I know of as well.  The kids recruit each other more than coaches do

And? If it’s not such a big deal your school wouldn’t be using it as a recruiting tool

Hattiesburg going after any kid that has any family in Hattiesburg they could live with or use address of.  Statewide at that. Other coaches starting to complain. They better stay out of the jackson area 7A schools. Trying to pull to many from there they will get mhsaa on ya.
