Recruiting players

[UpperCumberlandMan]

I believe a lot of this is semantics in the athletic culture we find ourselves in. I have always hated the word "recruiting" when it comes to high school athletics. It just sounds illegal. BUT, what I'm finding is, that a good coach has to be able to "sell" their program even to the kids who are already zoned for his/her school. I'm not just talking football, I'm talking all sports.

 

If there is a really good football player at Carpenter's Middle, who is zoned for William Blount or Heritage, is it considered "recruiting" for a WB or Heritage coach to try to talk to that kid--or his family--and sell the merits of attending the school he is supposed to attend? If that is the definition of recruiting we are talking about, then I believe that coaches must do it.

no problem with at all if a coach trys to sell his program to his city and county school kids. But if that same coach is a Blount Co HS and doing it in Knox County, it is recruiting.

like I said all along, school choice is good. Choose before Hs, move in county and your fine. Choose to move after that, sit a year unless u get an approved tssaa hardship. But it should be a parents choice, not HS coaches hanging out a pee wee games recruiting kids.

That's the reason Stars attends all the Easter Egg hunts in Blount Co!
