Can a high school team win if they don’t recruit? In 2023 apparently every team with a chance at a championship is full of recruits. Do high schools who want to win need to set up a recruiting budget?

If a team is successful and kids transfer to play for that team you have a lot of people scream this term when they don’t know what they are talking about. If you are talking about coaches contacting student athletes from other programs to come to their school and play….that’s illegal. A recruiting budget??? That’s crazy unless you are a private school and I believe that’s even unheard of. Are really asking this question for real our are you trying to stir the pot ?? Hahah

If we allow kids to start making money playing high school sports then rules have to change on this subject. It becomes professional sports there for a school should be allowed to pursue what athletes they want in their program. Talk about opening a can of worms haha
The FIRST thing that needs to happen is for KHSAA to make recruiting legal, so these schools aren't having to sneak around and break the law.

If you don't have those things you aren't able to recruit. Recruiting is way overblown IMO and seems to be a thing with mostly just the whiners.I agree 100%. Winning will do 95% of your recruiting. Kids do some. Very few coaches do it. With technology and social media today to much evidence would be available. Pikeville is prime example, they have all the above listed and kids/parents want instant gratification. Last night Pikeville played Belfy and Pikeville had a few kids from Belfry on team now and they played considerable minutes and helped in the win. Now you take those kids away and guess what? Pikeville would still have won(my opinion) because of talent at all positions and more depth. Pikeville coaches and faculty do not have to recruit the environment created there right now does it for them and no rule exist against creating a winning culture that people want to take part in

No pot stirring, but a few years back there were 3 football coaches from a winning program at a basketball game sitting directly across the court from the bench where one of the best football players in the region was playing, not a single coach had any connection with either team participating or any other player in the game. The potential recruits dad/guardian came to the coaches and told them the kid wasn't going anywhere, and they were wasting their time, they left at the half.
Some years back I got to see a recruiting package sent to an athlete from one of the private schools in central KY, and it was an official produced the the school student recruiting information package.
I believe the KHSAA should just allow kids to go where they wish to play and give them a 1 time transfer after they have enrolled in a school for 9th grade.

Example: Kid plays running back his whole life, starts since he was a freshman, is expecting to get the majority of ball touches his senior year, hoping for an offer from his dream school, then gets bumped to a support roll losing 70% of his touches because someone bigger, faster, stronger, arrives.Probably but ask yourself this, you are offered a new job with big raise and better hours and in order to take it you have to get put in front of a guy working there 10 years. You are more qualified and will help company be more profitable. What do you do? What should companies do?

Or should everybody just shut up and tell Opey to get in the weight room and get over there and hold a hand shield at practice?

Spoozer, please call him Opey for my benefit. LOL
“Shut up, Opey! Your work for the past seven years as a MS and HS player to help get us respectable means NOTHING! We’re ready to take it to the next level! Alright, first team offense- let’s go! Opey run over there and get me a Gatorade then grab a hand shield!”
It’s the American way
