hard to be mad at kids for operating within the environment they are given. You want them to not take advantage of the portal and NIL opportunities? You also don't understand how many of these decisions are out of their hands, we dont know how many are told to leave.

2024 Ohio High School Championships
MarkWiley replied to GJGood's topic in Akron Zips Football Recruiting
And the coaches hate it. Most coaches were very vocal about it with concerns for the safety of the players. It's going to take teams forfeiting the playoffs, which is a hard thing to do. I would love to see it changed, and also to finally give open enrollment/private a separate playoff bracket. -

We are friends with the Stolarski's, Avon is our rival High School. Our coaches are high on Ryan and offered him in the first five minutes he was on campus. Great kid. Holds offers from Toledo, Buffalo, Lehigh and I think OU and Miami. -

These are from recruiting visits, they have a photo shoot as part of the day. -
When the coach leaves for a P4 job after 2 years he can pull that now junior saying “remember I believed in you first”.

I can tell we are on different sides of this conversation, so no need to continue it, however I can tell you from first hand knowledge, a lot of players are looking for that kind of tradition and connection. Especially those that understand that they are not going pro.
-
that's a cynical view. Every away game we see loads of tradition at other schools. The way the players take the field, school chants, coordinated mascot cheers, etc. I think it seems small or insignificant but those things build a tradition and build pride.
-
It's bigger than the individual players, it fosters a connection with the football team, the school, the band, TRADITION... maybe if these things were addressed and a sense of tradition and connection started they'd be a few less portal transfers. Regardless of all that, you are playing for the school, the football teams are typically the face of the school, show some pride.
-
A small thing that bothers me, I think the team needs to go to the band with the cheerleaders for the alma matter after a game win or lose.
