Verbal commitment, huge pick up for Mizzou. You can bet his phone will still be getting blown up from other schools trying to change his mind. Hope we can keep him. BIg time offer list. Props to coach Reed for encouraging him and his players to visit the instate school as well.
Can't wait for Lutheran North, Cardinal Ritter, and Trinity to get some competition in Class 4 and 5 playoffs. 2020 can't get here fast enough.
Me too. It might mean Class 4, 5, and 6 schools will stop ducking LN, Ritter and Trinity they won’t have to look for out-of-state opponents to play. They’ll play any school, regardless of classification in Missouri. That’s why parents choose to send their kids there. I expect you small school fans will still find time to cry about them, though. #KeepWorking
That wasn't a shot necessarily.
Would have been interesting to see a Ladue - Lutheran North showdown in the Class 4 District 2 Championship. Or if Trinity or Ritter could have beaten Jackson or Fox in Class 5 District 1.
Don't think many people are crying about it. Fact is though private and parochial schools play with a different set of rules. Always have, always will. Some are exploiting loopholes and rules more than others. You can't argue the fact when one school can only draw from a certain radius, and others can draw from a much bigger radius, that if you exploit it it creates unfair competition. One of the things that is said is students can transfer out if they feel like they are being bullied. Like someone said above, I'd like to see the man who can bully a 4 or 5 star recruit and sign them up.
FWIW, I don't blame the parents for getting an opportunity to send their kids to private/parochial, if someone else is paying the tuition and it gets you from a rougher situation, for doing it.
And I give coach Reed a lot of props for having his kids visit the instate school. A lot of coaches can fall in love with the Harbaugh, Jiimbo Fisher, Saban types fawning over their kids and them and forget about the home school. He seems to have his kids best interest at heart.
I’m all for separate classifications for private and public schools. For many of the reasons you just listed.
Across the board. Might be the most equitable solution I've seen regarding small private schools that place an emphasis on athletics. Totally agree
And another thing, give the Farmington Knights and their coach and admin big props for having the guts to play LN.
