Really like this article. I think Danville will be just fine. They are well coached, have momentum and some key returning pieces.

Not sure about invites but I believe the 10 are set. I am sure there were some who were invited but had other commitments, etc..

Luke Duby from Tates Creek has been added.

Pretty sure Carr is no longer a part of his team.

Joey Cambron of Davies County has been added. Looks like Coach Lefors is adding a player a day. I believe there were 12 total last year.

I was told he was no longer on the team at CAL.

Have heard this event is happening again this year. Anyone know the list of players?

They lost a quite a bit more than just 1 player. They lost significant portions of their d line and o line, best linebacker, and all running backs with experience. That being said, they did "add" some pieces from other schools but I don't think they are going to close the 30 plus point gap with Scott County. I do think the gap will close some, but still see SC winning pulling away. SC lost their qb and a few others but return a bunch of starters and should not miss a beat. I also think FD will be challenged in the city this year more than last.

This is actually not true. If it is determined to be for athletic reasons then it is not permissible and he would be ineligible.

They send their kids there now and they don't offer football. Not everyone sends their kid to a certain school for athletics, some do consider academics, student to teacher ratio, connections, and various other opportunities. Adding football will help Sayre get those that were already considering it but wanting to play football. I have 1 son that graduated from Sayre and another that would have gone to Sayre but didn't because he wants to play football.

No I am not saying that. I responded "nonsense" to what I see as nonsense. Do you really believe no other schools in the Louisville area wanted him and /or would take him? Great young man with a bright future.

Because it's not true.

More nonsense.

Nonsense

Key statement...."if they follow the rules". Most don't follow the rules because it typically involves a substantial change. Your original post indicated that they should be able to transfer anytime. By the way, there is nothing immediate about the process. It is cumbersome at best.

Apples to oranges. Would be a complete mess if this happened.

It's a good thing for parents to strive to put their kids in best place to facilitate success. If that means transferring, then by all means go for it. Again, just don't lie and cheat to get it done. I went through a transfer with a child of my own. I completely understand the process is cumbersome and somewhat flawed. That being said, it is the process and rules should be followed. We followed the rules and told the truth and yes, it took a while to get through it but in the long run it was worth it. It was a great life lesson for our son that you can do it the right way and it will work out. We knew of and watched many get through it a whole lot easier by lying and cheating the system but what kind of example is that to set? It is the signing of 3 month leases, using fake addresses, asking the kid to help corroborate the lie, etc. that bothers me. This is just my opinion.

Never said the numbers of people doing it was a problem or a big deal. Simply said, you can't compare transferring for athletic reasons, and transferring for other reasons. Also stated that in my opinion it's fine to transfer, just follow the rules.

Seriously, that's your argument? How many kids do you really think transfer for band, art, etc.? It's just not even close to the same, most of those activities mentioned don't compete. I said it before and I'll say it again, transfer all you want, just do it by the rules and don't cheat a lie.

What's he suppose to sit out of...classes? This is a weak argument that people always bring up. Academics and athletics are apples and oranges. Academics is the reason you go to school, sports are extracurricular.

Have heard at least two. Not sure how they will be eligible. They will claim it's suddenly a hardship to pay tuition. It's a joke, the qb from Dunbar that transferred last semester is back at Dunbar this semester. Wake up KHSAA.

Yes. high school sports should be about the kids. That being said, just like in real life there are rules, regulations, etc.. No matter what we think of them, and they are by no means perfect, they should be followed. The Woodside transfer was done by the rules so no problem. As for those kids that "want to live out a dream" but don't have a way to transfer, I say make the best of your current situation or follow the rules and live with the consequences...this is a life lesson. You can't just set the example of cheating and breaking the rules for the kids. Do you want them to apply that to the rest of their life? Plenty of kids have achieved their goals just fine by making the best of their situation.

So for those that are all for transfers and don't have any issues with them. How do you feel about a "student athlete " that transfers for one semester to play ball then transfers back to his original school to graduate? Are we good with this? Is this good for high school sports, good for the kid, good for either school?

Hearing more rumors of additional departures. Frederick Douglas University appears to be the beneficiary.

Who will be the qb this year?
