Good ol Max Preps! What’s yall thoughts? This is a hot topic in the Phoebus circles for obvious reasons but preseason polls ain’t never won anything so I’m not even that concerned.

Top 4 is interchangeable. Phoebus should be #1 since they’re the 2x champs in C4. I’m high on all 4 teams but 5-10 just takes ALL Max Preps credit away. King George at 5 is laughable. It’s a 95% chance that they won’t even field a team this year.

The only rankings I pay attention to are On3 & CalPreps. They are way more on point than Maxpreps. Idek how Maxpreps calculates their rankings .

An algorithm utilizing dubious values.

The most accurate year to year are the Va Preps ones that Matt, Danny, and company put together.

An example of “dubious” values would be using King George’s past records when we all know they have been decimated and will be darn lucky to make the playoffs. Towards the end of the season the algorithms have better info and are more accurate. But, 2 1/2 months before the season starts they are not much more than a glorified guess.

Wait, what exactly do you mean they won’t even field a team this year???

Sidenote MaxPreps still has Lafayette in 3A.

Man, that’s INSANE. I know there’s obviously some hard feelings between Lunsford and a portion of the KG community, but it seems crazy that the entire program would implode just like that. What’s the story there?

Bo been on this since the beginning and I been given some clarification from people in King George . It is that bad and the program is in shambles. It’s a lot of frustrated people in KG right now. From being perennial 4B contenders to the bottom of the battlefield in one offseason is mind boggling. Vern and his coaching staff were SEVERELY UNDERAPPRECIATED and it’s going to show now. I still don’t understand how you can botch this so badly from an administration point losing that HC. The kids will suffer and that’s the sad part… The KG roster is GUTTED this will not be the same King George Foxes and it might be awhile before they get back

 

[WP02alum]

I get the under-appreciated part. And I understand the whole staff left, but…where are the players? That’s the part that doesn’t smell right to me.

The players have quit or transferred I had this confirmed and yes it’s quite a lot like Bo has been saying since the beginning. And before we even start this doesn’t “ smell right” all those kids lived in King George and now parents don’t want them apart of this mess . Again a lot people don’t know how important that staff was to those kids and it’s showing with all them gone. Just a sad situation. This is being relayed to me by multiple parents I’m not making this up

 

[WP02alum]

Me saying it “doesn’t smell right” just means I don’t understand where the roster has gone. No need to try to add meaning to my words. I can just type my own words.

Why did those players quit?
Where are the players transferring to?

Not speaking on where kids are transferring too or why they quit. It’s very well known why and I don’t wanna talk bad about anyone

Yeah, pay there is straight-up bad. Had no clue they lost their principal and AD. I’ve seen some of the good side at KG with parent support, but I have no doubt the ugly is very ugly. It’s evident to me that there is a sense of entitlement with a segment of their population. I’m not a fan of wealthy entitled parents, because of what kind of kid that breeds.

All in all, it just sucks for that program. I’ve had to leave a job with hard feelings toward school leadership before, but did my best to leave the program intact for the next guy. Sounds like that was never going to happen with all the issues swirling around at KGHS. Sucks for the kids, but I’m not gonna assume it was Lunsford who made that happen.

 

[WP02alum]

There’s also a lot of crap on KG’s end that won’t come out cause Lunsford isn’t that type of guy.

I’m a big fan of the concept that sunshine is the best disinfectant, but I appreciate Lunsford is just going to devote his effort toward Spotsy and let that sleeping dog lie.

Oh you’re good bro! I always know that your posts are in good taste. You’re very knowledgeable on how these divisions work. You have to take the good with the bad and if you work in education, you’re always gonna be on some side of a losing battle. I think in KG’s case, years and years of neglectful leadership and nepotism is catching up with them. I’m happy that Lunsford and his staff are with a division that will celebrate them instead of making their jobs harder. They are some of my closer friends and I’ll always be rooting for them to succeed.
