    The High School "Transfer Portal" has gotten ridiculous.....

    What about Naz's QB last year that relocated from Pittsburgh, did he play on a local 7 on 7 ??? Your logic is not accurate, Are you saying that the family of the QB from Wisconsin decided to uproot thier family, sell thier home, biy a new one, relocate to Chicago, get a new job just becuase...

    The High School "Transfer Portal" has gotten ridiculous.....

    Not all all, does not change my thinking, Having a sense of pride to play for your local HS and community shouldn't matter whether it is 1988 or 2026! Why should a kid have more emotional attachment and pride for his HS if he lives in Texas or Illinois? I respectfully disagree Name a kid that...

    The High School "Transfer Portal" has gotten ridiculous.....

    Going back to my original point, unfortunately it is very clear that certain highschools such as Nazareth, Hersey, Mount Carmel, LWE to name a few are aggressivly recruiting to try and bolster thier teams to win more games and try to win a state championship. I am not sure what promises they are...

    You are correct about Hersey, forgot about them. He is well within his right per the rules but I know Tom uses his TNT business to recruit new players.

    Based on that comment, clearly Nazareth coaches are recruiting others to their program. Not saying anything bad about Racki as I know he is a great coach, but he is allowing this to happen so he is recruiting. You don't find a QB from Pittsburgh to transfer in one year and then a year later find...

    The High School "Transfer Portal" has gotten ridiculous.....

    Great point Edgy. But let me ask you, is it always the parents or do you think high school coaches are also aggressively recruiting and poaching kids from other schools? I can tell you the coaching staffs that I have been on have NEVER tried to recruit anyone, we have always homegrown our...

    Apprecaite all the opinions, many say its about the money. Again, if you are GOOD you will get recruited no matter what HS you go to and if you have the measureables (height, weight, speed, etc) you will get D1 scholarships. How much $$ are parents spending to uproot thier families, move across...

    The High School "Transfer Portal" has gotten ridiculous.....

    I have been an Asst. Coach for a local high school football team for almost 15 years. There used to be a sense of pride and camaraderie playing with the kids your grew up with and playing for your community. And there is nothing wrong for choosing to play at a private or Catholic school, however...
