This is a good thing. Creates parity amongst the schools in GA and will force college recruiters to actually work the schools in their area.
I went to HS in GA and we had our best basketball player in a generation transfer out to a school with a better team resulting in our team tanking. I like this for sure.

Welcome to life. Why penalize a kid cause his school sucks.

I got a little cousin who plays for Harrison High in Kennesaw, GA and the whole team is in an uproar because 60 new kids are trying to transfer in to get noticed because of their QB Justin Fields. All the kids who have worked so hard to earn spots are now getting told that top players at their positions from around the county can come in as long as they have a ride to Harrison. This GHSA rules are broken.

If he's really that good, he should be good enough to be found. This new rule should it pass, would make coaches go to more high schools, and then in turn, good players on bad teams etc should be noticed more.

There can't be many people from BR who have kin playing at Harrison. Your cousin a senior that played LB and plays baseball too? Originally from BR?

Similar thing is happening at Marietta High who has one of the top QB prospects for 2020.

Yeah, except I'll be shocked if that QB doesn't move this summer.

Yea, I wonder if Hillgrove would take him back.
Posted on 5/23/17 at 12:23 pm to RandySavage
I'm sure they would take him in a heartbeat.

GHSA has been very inconsistent with transfers and harsdhips. I'm speaking from a different sport, but I've seen very legitimate ones get denied and bullshite like differences in training get approved.

The biggest issue I've seen is private schools allowed to recruit nasty rosters and competing vs public schools. Fitzgerald has been one of the most dominant AA programs in AA the last ten years and every year they get knocked off by a non public school. This last season it was Benidictine in the championship, last year it was Pace and years before that it was Buford. If these schools want to recruit then they need their own seperate division. Public schools can't compete fairly with recruited teams.

Every city school recruits, including Fitzgerald. And Buford is a public school.

That's definitely the case in my sports (track and cross country).

South GA transferring WANES tremendously, tremendously to he transferring done in metro ATL....to the point you can't even liken the two. And I would hope you know this.
ETA : Also FYI Fitzgerald is not a "city school"; it's the only high school in Ben Hill County; it just goes by the name of the town.

I'm not sure, I think he, or mainly his dad, burned some bridges the way he left.

You don't say? You mean that it's more likely done in area with almost 6 million people than an area with less 18,000? I'm shocked.
It still happens in places like Fitzgerald. And happens more than you want to believe. And while Fitzgerald is not a city school it is a one county school and has the option of taking students outside of it's borders if they want to.

This would be awesome if it passed. Our football team won our division and went deep into the playoffs my freshman year but the best guys got recruited by private schools and the rest went to better programs. Now our football team is puny and has 2 wins the past two years compared to 11 my freshman year. Back then we had guys like derrick craine (RB, UT Chattanooga) and DJ White (S, GT & KC Chiefs).
