huh???

[HOGINTENNESSEE]

This is getting vague.

[jb11]

All of the recent transfers.  Can't tell me there is no recruiting going on.  And yes, I understand he was going to a private school, but he is not the only one in the last few years.

[Peppa Pig]

This is getting out of hand.

I couldn't agree more!!  I think.  Or maybe I totally disagree.  Definitely one of those two.  Probably.

[SemperFi]

This is getting out of hand.

Please feel free to elaborate.

It has been happening forever. It's just the BIG LR schools are starting to get involved. It is just the nature of the beast now days.

Why only punish private schools for recruiting, when now it appears public schools are doing it too.

They make private school kids sit out a year if they transfer, why not public schools?

Why do they make private school transfers sit out a year?  And how are private schools being punished for recruiting?

Personally, I don't like the idea of any high schools recruiting athletes.

If they don't start sending their studs to Arkansas, then it's all for naught.

Lewis is a huge stud; hits like a freight train and Clowney like! 

[trashcan maN]

Clowney like!

inb4 someone gets mad

[PGTIGERHOG]

Public school kids do have to sit out a year of varsity play if they transfer unless there is a bona fide move by the parent.

If a person thinks they have a reason for a 'hardship' they can appeal to the AAA.

Thanks Richard!

Because school boosters give the parents of a kid a job so they can "legally" move into the school district. Not sure about the public high school rules in Arkansas, but it happens occasionally in public schools in the Tulsa area. And Private Schools in this area? All they have to do is give the kid a scholarship to attend their school and it doesn't matter where they live.

Naturally, I feel that these recruited kids should also be paid. 3, 2, 1...to Fatty.

I'm going to assume you're joking.

[gibby]

And how are private schools being punished for recruiting?

Is this a serious question? If so, several years ago (10-ish?) the AAA instituted a "multiplier" (1.5 or 2x of enrolled students) to the formula that determines a school's classification. It applies to all private schools. So the private schools that would normally participate at a 3A level, for example, now play at 5A level, etc.

Hey, as long as these schools are making sure the kids take care of business in the classroom, I'm all for getting the Central Arkansas talent back on the field!  Recruiting or whatever....  And yes, they BETTER be feeding the hill!!!

It was rumored years ago that Potlatch or a lumber mill gave jobs to the Dads of kids  from surrounding communities to transfer and play for Warren.
