Anybody see this on the news, two dozen players have the same home address.

How is this not caught in advance?

How can the Fulton County commission start with a $270 million surplus in January and be in the hole in July $40 million every year?

Similar situation happened to Troup High two years ago. Their HC was paying for appartments for every player so they could live in his zone. And if they didn't want to do that he would just put down his address

Not all of them used the same address. Hell, I don't have a problem with it because every school does it. And I know for a fact that ole McEachern has several studs who don't live any where near there.

My alma mater straight up recruited Caleb King by saying he wouldn't have to take the HS exit exam and loading him up on Soph English classes, 8th grade science, and a shite load of bible classes. My favorite was he had time every day for "SAT Prep"

Same guy it took around 3 times to make an 800

Point is, yea, everyone cheats like hell

Yeah, I remember that. That's usually why a public school kid goes to a private school so they can skip the Old requirements.

They get away with it because they are a hybrid school or something and you can "pay" and come from out of district.

Simpson has a nice little set up at ol' Buford

Damn skippy

It was hilarious trying to see the school act like it was anything but that. One day one of our coaches joked and said "welcome, Caleb" and tossed him the keys to an SUV he had just bought for himself

It just seems to be so much fuss about something that means so little. We are talking HS football here. Really, you are going to screw your entire home life up just to be at one school? Colquitt has also been doing this for years. Actually, colquitt may have the dirtiest boosters in Georgia. My uncle tells me stories all the time that just makes one shake their head.

Cartersville, Dalton, Marietta, any city school like Bufford recruits And has ”open enrollment”. Basically anyone can attend if they pay ”tuition”.
