Football Recruits and Early signing period

[CajunT]

I don’t think Louisiana coaches would.

Would it be the athletes that STM wants UL to recruit, because those aren't the ones that LSU recruits. Unfortunately it's been that way here in this area for many years.

. . . two ways to win in high school football . . . draw from large numbers of boys or recruit . . .

But wait I thought it was STM and LCA that does the recruiting here. Huge announcement and commitment today.

It's total bs. I meet with the office that handles transfers in Lafayette public schools when my disabled son was rezoned. We visited the school, and they did not have updated facilities to handle his wheelchair in the restrooms and enough ramps. I filled out an official request that the principal of said school supported with her comments. I was told after meeting with the person that it would go before a committee of four, but he had clearly met all the requirements for the waiver and it was just a formality. Three days later I received an email saying our request for waiver was denied. So, I called and no would call me back. I found out later that month that a kid at Northside had his waiver approved for transfer to Carencro because he had a chance to earn a track scholarship his senior year and his chances would be better with the coach for the track program.

I sent a letter from my attorney with my signature threatening to sue the Lafayette School Board under the American Disabilities Act and it was finally accepted.

Anyone that suggest recruiting doesn't happen in the public school system under the School Choice program either has no idea what they are taking about or a liar.

^^^This!

In one of Robe’s last years, there were 4 STM players on the team. No way all four were solid D1 players. Lazy recruitment.

. . . when there is a desire to win, there will be recruiting . . . when there are methods to attend any school outside of specific defined boundaries, recruiting becomes a piece of cake . . .

[R1Letterman]

So why are some recruiters ok and some are trash

. . . in one of Robes last years, there were 8 starting players where each player and their parents knew me, my wife and my kids on a first name basis . . . surely it is the one you mention but it was much worse than just the 4 from STM . . .

Did both get to go, or was the track kid then denied?
