If that would happen, then kids would play football at a good football school, then transfer for basketball season to a good basketball school, then could also transfer to a good baseball school! That is why we have the transfer rules and a kid needs to go where he supposed to go and stay there! If the new rule goes in it won't even matter if they have played varsity sports it will be where ever they play from 6th grade on! great rule...

That was the case of a very good player in a WVA high school. He played on the football team in WVA and went to Fla in the Spring to play baseball. He later played some MLB and had a brief stay at WVU on the football team.

If you permit this, then players start transferring to possibly play all 3 major sports, at different schools....rules exist for a reason and chaos would ensue.

 

High School recruiting would spawn up every where, "play this sport for us, we're better than so and so"....if he/she loves a sport and has any athletic ability, they won't be cut from a program but if it happens, perhaps it time to acquire other interests.

NO....

 

Its a good thing Micheal Jordan didn't take Strike3's advice, or Micheal Jordan Romes ( Beechwood ) for that matter! Why should a kid miss out on playing a sport he loves because some coach feels he doesn't fit into his or her program, for what ever reason. So why not let a kid assess his talents, and find a place where he could play and contribute, even if he had the good fortune of helping a school on the varsity level in another sport, prior to his transfer? Do you think these coaches don't know when a kid is "stuck", because he has played a varsity sport, for even one play! Why do you think coaches are putting talented freshman into games towards the end of the season, to help win games?
