I think Panther is exactly right. If you recruit and win all the time you don’t care and if you don’t then you do care. High school ball is supposed to be about the school you go to and grow up in. The transfer thing is becoming way to common these days. In college that is the way it’s supposed to be. But high school has become way to reliant on it. In some ways, it takes away the actual meaning of pride.

There are situations when a player has to leave/transfer to put themselves in a better position.  There are schools that don’t offer a program and opportunities for a young male/female to succeed.  Multiple coaching changes, poor coaching hires, school doesn’t support athletics, etc. are all good reasons to go elsewhere legally!  Just because you “grow up in a school” doesn’t mean it is the right fit.  Especially for an athlete that wants to play college ball. I don’t blame players and their family for putting the athlete in the best situation possible.  You only get 1 shot at it.  It has nothing to do with pride if you are removing yourself from a failed or rebuilding program.  Just my thoughts….
