This argument makes little sense. All areas grow at different paces, which is what organically means. Never is a bad term to use here. High level courses are offered at every school. What you're saying IS THE PROBLEM. You can't just let schools and communities die because you think the grass is greener somewhere else. a motivated student will succeed (just an example) at Smith, just as much as they would at Northwest.
well smith hasnt grown at all...actually they went from a pretty good school in the 80's to the armpit of Guilford county
Well duh kids are transferring to other schools beyond the two I named but for the most the two I named are getting the highest quality and quantity of kids transferring in!
This is the worry I have in HS athletics. I'll be booed for saying it but I truly believe this started with AAU baseball and basketball. Travel ball grew so big that school ball became less important, but Football hasn't had that so the mindset of jumping from travel ball team to team is the equivalent to transferring schools. There are many moving parts and plenty of those parts have blame but how does it stop? How do we make the pride of your community important enough not to leave. The notion that this coach helps me get recruited better is overplayed. I'm not saying some coaches don't work harder than others in getting their players recruited but I'm saying that with technology being what it is now it makes it easier to not be overlooked. In my experience when college coaches come to a school they always ask if there is anyone else in the area and I have never met a coach not willing to name a kid worthy from another school. Also for the most part coaches are going to multiple schools in the area not just the 1 school. Unless it is later in the recruiting process and they are bringing the big guns in to see their top guys. Also to all the adults allowing all of it youth, hs, and college, what are we teaching kids?
same for High point Andrews great school through ebout 2010 now armpit
Most transfers in Guilford use academics to transfer for sports such as joining JROTC or something like that
You hit the nail on the head. I totally agree with that. Or they use an academy or something a school doesn't have to move there. But if you think about it I saw where GCS had a date set aside for students who want to go to certain schools that offer a program that's not at their school can sign up on that day. Correct me if I am wrong.
What about the Hawaii kid, how did he get to page? 6000 miles is long way to get some education. By the way I am back from hip surgery. I miss you guys. If you have good hips, cherish them...LOL!
He plays baseball but to leave their ..Wow! I wish I could go coach there.....LOL!
Need to check on that. Haven't heard that. That's a long way to play baseball. Hawaii??? I heard they had a new Coach over there. Don't know him anybody know who he is?
yes.....him and his dad was at northern together at one point.....
I think he is affiliated with wow factor now....believe he got in some trouble with some money somewhere missing before idk for sure though
don't think they got in trouble for baseball it was mainly the basketball coach....football coach did his fair share of recruiting as well but never got busted.....I wanna be clear....kids coming to a school for better opportunities I am all for (I didnt want this post to sound like I was talking out of both sides of my mouth). Northern had a great run then!!! fun to watch
I think he got busted with the money at another organization....pretty sure he might have stopped by Greensboro day school as a coach as well....don't quote me. Anyone know what happens to Greensboro Days old coach Buddy Walker?
Ain’t no one moving from Hawaii to play baseball at page…..now he might be originally from hawaii but baseball wise there are a lot better schools than page if your moving that far
I went on MaxPreps and looked at the roster don't know which kid but there is a kid name that stands out that might be from Hawaii. Not trying to be disrespectful. If it's the kid that I saw he is a junior.
First time I'm hearing of this baseball player from Hawaii. Most likely its not some high profile prospect or anything crazy, like most of yall are assuming. This family probably didnt move to Greensboro solely for Baseball... If that was the case, they probably should have moved to a better baseball area, somewhere in California or Texas..... Some of you guys fail to realize that Greensboro has many large corporations and high paying jobs (and rapidly growing), for example, they could have moved to Greensboro for an aerospace engineering job at Honda Jet at the airport and moved into Page's district. Page has two of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Greensboro, Irving Park (Old and New), and Lake Jeanette.
You have it all wrong. They have some of the top Polynesian broads in Greensboro throwing flames and shaking temptations. They will perform at any event. Prices vary!
I have to get the other done in June. If you hear about a Coach jumping from one side line to another it will be me...LOL!
