I don't think anyone said they hated the kid. I think most of us are tired of the advantage of private schools. Yes I know some public schools might do some recruiting but the advantage of private schools is considerable.
Facts about LN

This thread. Geez louise! Where is Bosko when you need him?
This is a fact Ritter is beating them 13 to 0
Rawdog knows what he posted (before he went back and edited it, of course). You’re free to believe what you want to, though.
I already pointed it out, but it’s telling that he has no shade to throw online to the Class 3 private school that recruited the kid BEFORE his family moved and transferred him to LN. it’s not about his War For Fairness, because he has nothing to bitch about when it comes to MICDS’ recruitment, or St. Mary’s, or Cardinal Ritter, or Borgia, or Vianney, Chaminade, CBC, or anyone else.
It’s not who he chooses to hate or root for/against. Its that he (and most of you, apparently) targeting a 15 yo kid, and referring to Trinity and LN’s kids as “scum”. Does it really matter WHAT excuse he gives for his bullshit?
Yep. Here’s another fact. Ritter will beat the brakes off every other Class 2 team in Missouri.
I don’t care if you root for or against Ritter, because you’ll still have to watch them OR Lutheran North win State this year.
You and I both know what you posted (before you changed it), what you you mean, and why you’re doing it. Throwing a rock and hiding your hand when you already have a group of anonymous trolls eager to back you up ... just means you’re a coward, and you KNOW your words prove it.
Bragging about how close you clowns have become from giggling over jokes about All The Right Moves for years, is even more pathetic than you bitching anonymously online from your sad little corner of a Rivals msg board.
I don't recall anyone giggling. Definitely not Bosko. Maybe Mox. He seems like the giggling type. Anyways, MoSports is actually one of the more hustling and bustling places on Rivals. Back when that GA bozo was posting, I ventured on over to the GA site. Place was a ghost town! So I while you dont seem to agree with the opinions of the other posters here, I would just rejoice in the fact that you have other posters to disagree with.
That's not a fact, yet. One thing's for sure, if either get to the final game they will have earned it. Lamar will be waiting for who emerges IMO. Nothing is certain against that program.
That’s true. Lamar still has to play their games, and I’m not ready to pencil them in on their side of the bracket.
Ritter is CLICKING early this season. Any team facing them in the postseason better be prepared to defend the Spread.
Spread? Is that like Miracle Whip?
Those St Louis privates must run some sophisticated offenses.
Blair Oaks runs it out of it, too. Not every public school has to run the same offense that Pop Warner did. Ask Lathrop how easy it was for their players to play in open space and defend an offense they hadn’t ever faced before.
Wow! Sure hope Lamar can find some film on this since us unsophisticated folks can't spell spread. Maybe Raw can drive up there and film it. We could all meet at Tastee Freeze to watch it.
If you don’t think facing an offense that’s the polar opposite of the Wing T with only one week to prepare for it is a challenge, then you don’t know as much about football as you think you do.
YOU may not be concerned about it, but if Bailey makes it through their side of the bracket, he’ll be struggling to get his boys up to speed to even be able to simulate the offense in practice.
Just hope the north side of the Bracket semi-final is in Maryville. Different world up here in late November when those cold fronts drop out of Nebraska.
I’m sure Maryville hopes that, too. Not having that advantage last season hurt them.
I don't think Lamar or Maryville or any other school is afraid of LN or other STL school. You got to play the game talk don't mean squat.
No student who gets thousands of dollars transferred into his account to pay tuition fees should be eligible to play any sport. They aren’t doing anything but buying football players
The Beuono guy is literally spam. Just gotta ignore him. Old man from Webb and off his meds. He gets on here and says anything I never seen him sound intelligent at any point on Mo Sports.
thats exactly how it works. Students account has an account balance of $12,000 or so that must be paid. If they get 50% needs scholarship,funds are transferred to their account from scholarship funds and their balance is reduced to $6000. Then they are required to pay the $6000 in full or installments
Isn’t that exactly how it works??? The student received $6000 in cash into their account to pay the outstanding debt to the school. So basically a benefactor gave them $6000 so they could play football there
NO. That’s not how that works at all.
Tuition is 10k, FACTS says you can pay 7k, the school either agrees and you pay 7, or the school says no, you must pay full. If you pay 7, the 3k deficit is on the school to make up.
There is no cash changing hands, 3k doesn’t show up in unmarked bills.
Giving someone a $10k education for $7k is absolutely equivalent to giving them $3k to pay the difference.
You'd make a great corrupt politician.
Funny you say that. I am Mayor McCheese.
My point was Good Taco thought some rich benefactor was slipping a kid an enveloped, that is not happening.
I dont think so buddy! I am no longer considering Raw and bullit hasnt ever made it past a vote. So congratulations cards! Youre next in line!
This post totally explains everything. I am so glad you took the time to provide this info, because I'm pretty sure no one in Lamar has ever heard of this new- fangled "spread". I heard some guys talking about it at DQ the other day, but they weren't from around here. I am honestly a little concerned now!
What is more concerning is this new "one week to prepare" rule. That sure is gonna be hard for these boys! I hope coach can figure it out!
Bosko, I would think that being a past booster club president during a time that the team won state would make me Doc material automatically!! I am still a booster club member!
Careful bullit. Saying candy around here, might accidentally summon Calvin. And NONE of us want that.
Again, I've been following this board long enough to know who Raw is. I had another name 4 years ago, and had my fair share of run ins with Raw and even you bullit. Decided to take the high road and get away for a while. But now I am back because of the jealousy you guys have for teams that win. It's comical that there are truly people out there that want a participation trophy SO bad that they go to a message board to get one.
Raw, I'll buy you a big one so you can hang it in your living room. Just so everyday you know that you are just as good as Trinity or LN. You guys may have taken different roads to get that trophy, but it'll be the same one and then all will be good.
Ok. This is not the real Ronnie Bass. For starters, his profile picture is not of himself. So he is NOT a Doc Guy. Second, pretty sure a hippie like Sunshine wouldnt be concerned with such petty things as this!
If you think I am jealous of a teams success then again you have not followed me on this board very long. If you think I am jealous of a kids going off to a great college and getting recruited then again you don't know me. Lamar won 7 titles in a row the beat the crap out of my cubs some years...I never complained. Webb has won many titles again if we move back to class 4 they will probable stand in our way of a district title it is what it is I went to watch them play this Saturday. Cassville over the last decade has had continued success and has sent my beloved Cubs home in the district game. John Boroughs beat us twice in the Semi's and really not a lot of fans from Monett complained even about them being a private school. I think there is talk of even erecting a billboard that will say Home to Zek Elliot for one game just outside our city limits LOL.
What you do not realize about the recruitment process is these kids were going to be recruited with or without these coaches. I can tell you every one of LN and Trinity players would have the same offers even if they played down here in SWMO for Pierce City, because they have what college coaches are looking for and that is Measurables, they have size, they have speed and just Gawd given talent that others don't. Trinity and LN coaches want to beat their chest like they are doing something special for these kids and I call bull. My Daughter never played one inning in high school softball her high school coach did not have a clue when it came to knowing the first thing about the recruitment process who to contact or what to do, but guess what she had played in College and got a scholarship, why because coaches saw her play in summer leagues and they don't miss many players that can help them in any sport.
I am glad those kids are going to get a good education, I hope they go onto College and become a great success and get a good education! I really do honestly hope these kids succeed!! I myself fostered kids we adopted three!! I always love rooting for the underdog.
What upsets me is these coaches and small private schools are using top notch players to help enrich themselves. How many kids that don't have talent have they cast to the gutter or not helped ... probably many. Now I could be wrong but you don't see them crowing about any NAIA or NCAA II players. You don't see them tweeting anything about the kids who are just going on to college on academic scholarship, so that sort of tells me they only care about big names and what they can do to help them get recognition as D1 coaches and be known as scholarship high. Again I could be wrong I hope I am wrong, and I really want these kids to succeed, but I want to see even the kids that are not going on to Power 5 programs succeed. By your demeaning talk and what you have said about our kids down here is SWMO, because they are not going on to power 5 schools, and will not amount to anything, and all of us SWMO hicks will end up working at Dairy Queen makes it very obvious you don't care.

Not that you're actually concerned with the content of anyone else's individual posts, but his "concern", "anger", or "resentment" has nothing to do with the kids getting a trophy and him not getting one, it's towards small schools that collect supreme athletic specimens from an area of over 3 million people for the sole purpose of beating public schools with maximum enrollments of 400 kids all from the same town.
If say...Cuba, has 30 kids returning and their biggest kid is 6'2" 225 lbs, that's what they have to work with. If Lutheran North were in the same situation, they just go scout the PHL, Hazelwood, or Ferguson-Florrisant and find 3 or 4 kids who are 6'5" 330, get them a hardship waiver for their tuition so they wind up paying nothing or at least next to nothing, and then get them eligible as fast as possible.
That's not equitable. That's the issue. Has nothing to do with race, the individual kids, or really much of anything else. The adults who perpetuate this would at least have plausible deniability if they also pushed as hard to get the 5'2" 110 lb kid who happens to be brilliant through the door at vastly reduced tuition. I forget the exact percentage, but when approximately 25% of your male students also happen to be Division One athletes, that's not necessarily a problem, it's well within the rules, ("wink") but it's definitely an apples and oranges comparison when you're looking at small city private schools and small public schools.
25 % of the male athletes at LN are not D1 level. Very few LN kids end up in the Power 5 or even the group of 5. You do some signing with FCS schools but the majority end up signing at D2, D3, or NAIA schools. All kids are treated the same at LN and all offers are celebrated during signing day. The staff works extremely hard to get all of the kids offers at the level they can play at and networking and relationships play a big part in this. Yes coaches will find the top ranked kids, but you have to network to get your kids exposed to lower level programs that don't have a large recruiting budget.
If you think TC or LN have the financial resources to pay a large amount of scholarships then you have not been to either school. TC's facilities are some of the worst in STL public and private. LN's are better but stil pale in comparison to the richer private and public schools. Neither of these programs has a large endownment like the bigger STL private schools. Star players have even left because their families can not afford to pay. The star running back was paying full tuition cause his family could do so while the kid on jv was paying half because his family could not afford to pay the full amount. Aid is strictly need or academic based.

There is absolutily no difference in funds being transferred from a scholarships account to pay a students debt to a school, or giving the student cash and letting them write a check to pay it themselves
Funny that’s not what Trinity’s website says under “scholarships “ it says they receive $1.9 MILLION dollars a year to award to needy students
To that end, Trinity Catholic High School and our generous donors provide more than $1.9 million in financial support to qualifying families each year. We are incredibly proud to provide assistance to our families creating a lifelong partnership. Trinity Catholic High School uses a third-party
That’s enough cash to pay the total bill for almost 200 students
Their website also shows their tuition and fees to be just shy of $12,000 a year
I would guess Lutheran Norths to be about the same
