Beech's New Safety, Jalen Hurd . . . thoughts?

[SOUTHERNFRIED]

How did Jalen become eligible after leaving MBA without sitting out one season?

As long as you change residence and physically move, (at least the player) you can go any where.( is there a distance requirement now? )..there have been several over the years to have done the same thing.

Might wanna research as I'm certain you have to move at least 40 miles away

CAse in point Independence DB and future Vol

( Gaulden ) transferred last year from Brentwood Academy to Indy and had to sit out last year

I thought they may have added a distance factor in there. I know we have had some move from Portland to MJ in the past and I think I heard of a couple of kids to move into Portland this year. I also think if you transfer between 8th and 9th grade your good to go to. The rules change so much I can't keep up lol

Just looked in the TSSAA handbook in section 12 which is the section that deals with eligible ineligible transfers and didn't see anything that mentioned a distance. That is the only section that I looked through. I would have to do more research through the entire handbook to be 100% positive.

Yep, like 41-18 worth:)

 

 

4 wins in 40 years is what Vandy has against UT.

Hurd transferred from MBA to Beech the summer before his sophomore season. His family moved and he was eligible as having a bona fide change of address.

 

The rule states that when leaving a private school to a public school, to be eligible the new school has to be farther than a 20 mile radius from the old school and the previous home address.

 

This was addressed by his school, athletic director, coaches, etc. 2 years ago.

That is it - now I recall Gaulden ( Hurds future Vol teammate) lived 15 miles thus sat out lady year for Indy

I believe the school losing the athlete can waive the requirement that a player sit out a year. I can't speak to Hurd's case, but historically i know of several cases where MBA has waived the requirement for a player leaving the school. In this case, MBA would have had no real reason to object to his immediate eligibility, since Beech and MBA don't compete against one another.

TSSAA.com - there is a rulebook.
