WPIAL football transfers

Absolutely. The classroom. I am guessing nothing but the finest here.
He is on his 3rd high school in 1 1/2 years. How can anyone concentrate on academics with that kind of upheaval.
I thought at some point Pitt may have a chance here. I still think so, but this will definitely be on the second or third transfer.
So good , depending on the kid and family?
Just like every other school .
The thing I wonder about is why he doesn't produce more on offense at the small school level? I know he's defensive guy but so was Paris Ford and Elijah Fields. Those 2 had some great offensive film. Revis was the same way. Heck, Revis played the Big 33 on offense.
they may want to start discovery! This kid is now on high school 3 in 3 years. Can't imagine the total by the time he is done with college.
SFA isn't paying players lol. They don't need to. Kids from outside the dmv reach out to them. IMG is in the same boat.
99% of the wpial kids will stay put.
they are paying them, in the form of paying for their tuition. it's the same thing. they call it "aid" or a scholarship and they offer it to these very highly rated recruits to get them to come there..
You really think these highly rated kids are paying the tuition that "normal" students are? you think these football and hoops recruits going to IMG are paying the full tuition lol?
IMG can cost up to 70k a year, you think that high school OL from gateway a few years back left gateway and paid 70k to go play football in florida for a year? you really think parents are doing that? St. Francis Academy is 12k, you think the parents are paying that for him? zero chance.
Same as central catholic, they come up with these hardship student aid scholarships for these athletes to come there..
For SFA, I assume there is a board component to the cost of attendance, as well, on top of tuition. I am sure that is also getting covered for the highly touted out-of-state athletes going there.
Central gives a ton of scholarship money to a large percentage of their students. Most of the inner city kids are getting a lot of help.
I get it that they're getting tuition/board.
What I was saying is they aren't getting paid a salary or money to come there.
I've sent kids (2) to Saint Frances when Poggi was there. My cousin coached Jarace Walker prior to him leaving for IMG.
I'm very aware how both institutions work.
PCC is a different animal. If there is financial need they can make a way. I know several college bound players who came out of PCC who paid the full tuition.
I know of a lot of eventual college players who paid the list price at PCC.
How long ago did you coach kids that went to SFA? A lot has changed over the last 1-2 years.
What has changed in the last year or two?
I sent kids in 2019. The year before Biff went to Michigan. Even though Russell was the HC, it was pretty much in title only. Messay took over in the last year or two. Messay is okay.
PA does too.. Maryland doesn't allow NIL collectives just like PA. I know some folks in the MIAA who rallied around that because of SFA.
