I can't imagine how this would fly w/the UIL since we had a similar situation at Marcus several years ago with a Football player and the results were loss of game time and some coaches got into hot water.

But,,,,,,,,, in this case the said player's family are/were in the legal business so I would imagine all the i's have been doted and the t's crossed. Will be interesting to see how this turns out.

Train: Just a thought since I opened this thread thinking it was about a select team or a thread about a Coppell player making a college committment I think I would change the title of this thread to something like: Coppell News-New Student or New Transfer, the word New Signing just sounds a bit like recruiting. Just a thought.

Also, for those wondering about the UIL policy here is what the UIL site states:



Eligibility for Athletic Contests
meet all the requirements above,

are less than 19 years old on September 1 preceding the contest or have been granted eligibility based on a disability that delayed their education by at least one year,

live with their parents inside the school district attendance zone their first year of attendance (see your school administrator for exceptions),

have not moved or changed schools for athletic purposes,

have not violated the athletic amateur rule, and

were eligible according to the fifteen day rule and the residence rule prior to district certification.

Train,
I thought you were one who says "no sophomores make any real difference on varsity"

This kid could not get into the starting lineup at FM thus the reason for transferring. He was also a big disruption in the baseball lockerroom and not a team player.

This is a case of mommy and daddy enabling their son and not being happy with playing time, nothing more nothing less. We wish him nothing but the best and hope that mommy is there for him when something else upsets him or doesn't go his way later in life.

Train: I think you had it right the first time. No need to change the title.

BTW - If the FM coach believes the player transfered due to athletic purposes, it will be reviewed by the DEC for a decision on eligibility. This will be an interesting one to watch!

You crack me up! Big Grin

BAAAAAAACK: Up and leaving a High School team midseason then going across the tracks to a district rival just doesn't sound good no matter how you spin it.

What ever happened to the term "finish what you started"?

If things weren't working out for the player (starting/not starting)then why didn't he just finish it out then cash out? Guess that is a question only they can answer.... hope it works out for them....

After watching Coppell the last few games they could use him. They will be losing a lot of quality players to graduation. If he was not playing, what difference does it make?
