Grenada

Can someone in the know speak to what’s going on with that program? Saw where 4 kids are transferring to Winona and they lost one of the top sophomores in the state to a school in Louisiana… all in one week.

Some have laid blame on the new coach

Grenada did not amount to much before Michael Fair took over the program. They won’t amount to much once again now that he is gone. South panola with him at the helm will win at least 1 title in the next 4 years. 
 

I do not know what led for him to leave Grenada for South Panola as some had mentioned he may have turned them down before. Or maybe it was them not wanting him at that time.  And I saw mention that there may have been a rift between him and the Grenada AD.  Also apparently some in SP are happy to see their prior coach leave and are not surprised by what is going on in Grenada.

Not going to say that Grenada will not be good or competitive this season, as they may well be, but its amazing how things can change in only a couple years. Two years ago one of the best in the state to now having a little bit of in house adversity before the season even starts

Basically all the kids that are leaving Grenada for Winona transferred to Grenada from Winona when Grenada was on the uptick with Fair. Now, the new DC at Winona is coming from Grenada and getting some kids to follow. The kid going to LSU’s U-Lab high school is just LSU getting him basically “in their program” and keeping him close so other schools can’t get to him as easily. Plus in Louisiana they have “NIL” where he can make some money playing high school ball.

Last time I checked isn't that a violation of the illegal recruiting rules? If you follow a coach to any school, you are ineligible for a calendar year, regardless of a bonafide move or where they reside. If someone decides to protest...

Naw man, just relocate to a new location. I doubt Grenada can find 2 people capable of organizing anything close to a protest dealing with this matter.

Doesn't have to be Grenada. Any admin from any school district can protest it. Typically it'll be one of Winona's Region opponents.

I’m pretty sure UHigh is where Kiffins  son is going to be playing at.
