So, the LA legacy folks are the cause of the mess going on there? They decided to cut the pay of the OC by 30% a month before the start of the season? Are they the reason these players are transferring out? If so, please explain more as to what exactly the legacy folks did to cause this?

The kids leaving are not going to BGA. They are going to BA, Page, and Indy.

It somehow did not get picked up on, but he did not leave for the reasons stated. If you want to know why he left, take a listen to the former OC. Key keyword being former.

Who are these players at BA that Coach Jenkins has brought in?

Agree 100 percent that this is the attitude. However, the question is would BA allow a QB to transfer in knowing the QB's dad has bankrolled the team? I am saying they would not bc if they did the bankroll would end causing a huge mess for the kids already there. They are getting depth and competition at every position but QB. The issue is the school has given power to this Dad whether anyone wants to admit it or not. So it's ok if there is a decent BA wr to have to compete with a kid transferring in but not the QB? If a 2027 QB transfers in I will eat my words

This is not that complicated. He helped bring them gain favor and influence with the ultimate goal of getting his son to his goal of college. Not even saying he is a bad guy or has bad intentions. But his reasons are to help get his son to an SEC school. Smart people know you gain influence by helping other people. He is helping the coach at BA and in return, he wants help getting his son to an SEC school. That's all fine and well. The issue comes down to BA allowing it. Would they allow a 2027 college caliver Qb to transfer at this point?

Yes as a freshman and sophomore. Not quite the same as paying for half a roster of kids while your Sr son is the backup. If you think he would pay for all these kids for his backup son you don't live in reality. He did this to surround his kid with as many college prospects as possible to help his son get recruited. Thats fine if that's how you choose to spend your money. The issue is the school and CPW has allowed it. No one with any real-life experience would argue that CPW is not playing with fire. If the person is just doing it to be a great person why is he also not bringing in a ranked QB to go with all the others?

Puppet is not the right word but a Daddy prob is. Answer this question. What would happen if CPW decided to go with another QB? Do you think the 7-8 kids on NIL money where tuition and apartments are being given would continue to be given? The answer is of course no the money would stop. If that were to happen BA would have a huge mess with key players now struggling to make it at BA given what their benefactor was doing for them. I don't blame kids or families for taking advantage of a great education and opportunity. They 100% should do what's best for the child. However, BA has allowed 1 person to now have considerable control. If you don't think he has control ask yourself what would happen should the above take place. Let a 5-star Qb move in and see what happens. The real answer is CPW won't allow a 5-star QB to move in bc he knows he cant. So yes he does have a Daddy now. Maybe a nicer way is to say he has a sugar daddy.

As expected this was the best hire. This will allow the school to make zero changes or adjustments to the program. My only question is why did they announce a formal search committee and board. Those claiming this was a great hire make sure to track MBA over the next 2 seasons. Perhaps great at MBA is now going 500 if that is the case yes great hire.

Spot on! Embarrassing the school is allowing it. Coach has sold his soul. What happens if the QB is not getting it done or more likely a better QB wants to move in? Guessing the school won't accept a QB transfer but they will at every other position. So his son does not have to compete with transfers from all over the state but everyone else does. I am guessing this does not end well. But perhaps it does end in a purchased gold ball... time will tell.

This is the best option. This will allow them to keep the status quo. An outsider with an experienced background would push them on things like a year-round weight training program, new offensive coaches that have evolved with the game, and developing/playing under-classmen. Keeping it in house caused the least disruption for the administration.

Spring ball? You don't know MBA well. There is no Spring ball at MBA.

Agreed. While MBA certainly has the money they have not spent it on coaches in the past. However, they certainly could if they choose to. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I am sure you have attended an MBA game, it may be the most boring sporting event on earth. There is zero crowd involvement or emotion throughout the event. They do have amazing facilities but what exactly do they do with the facilities? Do they even run a weight program year-round... I have been told no. Could it be that they are tiny and get run by because they have no program? They have a sport. Kids don't just get big, strong, and fast. It's a process that takes actual work. Building a nice facility won't make good athletes. It takes a commitment by the school, parents, and athletes to put the work in. Its not something you can create with nice facilities. Could MBA be a better job sure but not in the current conditions. Would take a change in culture at MBA

Thoughts on if MBA can get back to winning.... In the past 2 seasons, they have won 3 region games yet have over 900 boys in the school. They had success with Marcel at QB but even in those years, he was a generational talent yet spent most of his career under center and handing the ball off. Can MBA have success in the current landscape?
