Here is a story about Skal Labissiere and the prep school he is reportedly going to attend. This seems to be a real trend – big recruits that are transferring to start up prep schools with no track record. There have been eligibility issues in many cases when the students wants to accept a DI scholarship. Really, what are they thinking? If you were a top recruit, why would you take the risk?

State association ruling is a joke

Unless the kid was actively recruited by another school’s coaching staff, who cares why he transferred. If the coaching staff or school broke rules, punish the adults.

However, IDC if a kid decides on his own to transfer from one private school to another, and neither should a state association. They don’t kick kids out of all state orchestra for following a better program. For that matter, no one says “It’s not fair that Jose moved to a better school! He had the highest standardized test scores in his class!”

Punish tampering. Punish recruiting. He moved of his own volition for sports? Big deal. Sports will be feeding his family if he does it right. That’s worth going to whatever school he and his guardians believe to be the best fit.

For some reasons these associations – HS or the NCAA – seem to think they ought to act like the kids’ parent. I have a friend who’s kid is a top pitching prospect. He transferred to a different school to play with his friends instead of against them and now he is being investigated. The kid is 17 and in his senior year. The new school is actually closer to his house, but in a different county. It is utterly ridiculous.

 he’ll probably eventually be ruled ineligible or under investigation then will go the mudiay route. it’s already been talked about that he and his "handler" will be exploring that option.
