Effort to stem Illegal Transfers

[MCAthletics]

Don’t know all the facts of the issue going on down in NOVA. But from what I can deduct is there’s a coach who thinks he’s Nick Saban or Vince Lombardi. Doesn’t want to take responsibility for his actions, accept responsibility for what’s happened, and move on. Get on his damn high horse and ride off into the sunset. On the way pickup those administrators who promoted his actions, turned their heads, and thought high school athletics is college athletics.

Exactly…reminds me of an old saying, “pigs get fat but hogs get slaughtered “.

You probably have not noticed this. I attribute my noticing to the mental illness giving to me by another VaPreps poster. You have never complained about a losing team full of transferred players no matter if they have 1 illegal transfer or 10. If Hayfield was the same losing Hayfield from last year they would not be that concerned and your level of expertise would be null and void. Jealousy is real. If Darryl Overton was a loser you would talk crap about him losing but you would not stand for anyone questioning you, yours or your connections. Questionable transfers is nothing new. Since the meteoric rise of private schools high school recruiting has gone global. The first step to reigning it in is that the VHSL must end their relationship with the Catholic Church and their member schools by not allowing any competition between those schools and Virginia public schools. Keep it civil.

Well...I don't know who this is directed towards but I am keeping it civil. I'm asking questions. I'm curious. As for a student athlete transferring to a losing program or coaching staff...well, I would question their mental health. You can change DO's name to any other name that you wish. It's the behavior, the action, NOT the individual. Some people need to get that notion out of their thought process, it might help them understand this discussion a bit better. Imagine the discussions that would be going on today if a certain Hampton High School was coaching during the "internet age".... DO - who? He'd be an after thought...he would know better.
I had a co-worker whose son Xfered from a PD school to a smaller Private school in the area. He was a really good Basketball player in the PD, but looked like a WORLD BEATER in the private school arena. I call that the classic BIG FISH - LITTLE POND scenario. Then dad couldn't figure out why the colleges weren't throwing schollies at his boy. He did play D1 ball eventually, as a walk on, eventually earned a partial, earned his degree and is a fine young man. The important thing is...grooming these kids to become model citizens by leading by EXAMPLE, in ALL ASPECTS of the game, rules and everything that comes with playing a TEAM sport.

Maybe the message I received was delivered differently or my old teammates weren't as selfish? I don't know...

Character is what people think of you.
Integrity is what you do when no one is looking.

Once your integrity is proven to be questionable, your character is bruised, badly.
