High School examples social media and recruiting

[VObserver]

WMHS football fans been struggling since Don Shows left. They’re going thru another coaching change this year.

Ah.. They lost their recruiter.

You can include Neville too. Neville is supposed to be a Select school because the Monroe schools have open enrollment, but they sued the LHSAA and won due to a technicality in the LHSAA by-laws. That being said, since the LHSAA can be its own worst enemy, we have seen multiple suits by schools challenging rulings after they were caught cheating.

LCA, Opelousas, Newman, and the list goes on of schools that sued the LHSAA to get their way. Courts ruled that the LHSAA is a private entity, however Baton Rouge judges continue to stick their nose in their business. All schools agree to be a part of the LHSAA and agree to the rules & appeals process but some still can't help themselves. University is the latest to try and screwed up many of the brackets.

Exactly. Got to give it to Shows, he was a national recruiter. ULM could have used him but probably couldn’t afford him at his peak.

WM was a little different in that they held back entire 8th grade classes until the rule changed. They had 19 year old's playing 17s.

Please tell us.

First off you have schools on the select side with middle school "coaches" running youth organizations and recruiting 12 year olds to their school. It also happens at some non-select schools but the majority is at select. However, my favorite is certain select schools using the Catholic Church scholarships for athletes or having accounts that parents donate into in order to help certain athletes with tuition.

Sad part, for the majority of the team that didn’t make next level, what a waste of a year of their lives.

The year Brady James graduated from WM, there were 16 players on the WM roster that were All State players the prior year at schools not named West Monroe. Holding back is finessing the rules; what Shows did at WM was bludgeoning the rules to death.

You also have schools like Acadiana using their school of choice (business) to get guys not in their zone, into the school for football.

You are correct. Everyone knows that Acadiana is the "business" academy.

What everyone SHOULD know is that business is football.
