I’d rather lose with the players we currently have than win with a mercenary transfer.

It’s Chaparral in Temecula which is relatively local. Multiple Temecula kids attend MD, and not just athletes. There are no official rules against a senior transfer. It’s just a terrible look and creates justified resentment. I’d rather not see it happen. That’s why I’m hoping he would get beat out for the position if he does transfer. Kid is better off staying where he is now, and it would be better for MD also.

We have turned down numerous senior transfers over the past several years. Some great players too. This doesn’t go over very well with a lot of us. I don’t know if this transfer is confirmed. It would be great if the kid ends up riding the bench. Karma. I hate to see this crap.

Sucks if true. If he does transfer I hope one of the current freshmen beat him out. We got a junior transfer also from Washington.

Great game if it happens. What week would it be?

Okay. Well I hope you are able to inflict a huge fine if this is indeed the case.

Can you actually enforce that and do most contracts have cancellation fees? Contracts to play in high school football mean nothing as far as I am concerned. Looks like Bingham is breaking their contract with us. I highly doubt there will be any repercussions. It seems like a ‘contract’ in high school football is nothing more than a handshake and carries absolutely no legal weight.

Time for all the haters to come out. Yes, we had our people traveling the country to get this kid to transfer. I guess that makes up for departure the Jonah Smith.

lol. I was wondering on a couple also. What gets me is when teams release their schedule and all they show is the mascot or school logo of their opponents without even providing the school name. 🤷‍♂️

Good list. Not really going out on a limb. Who are some dark horses not in the top 10 that could be legit?

National rankings prove that SOS matters. That is all that matters. Playing OOS has no factor in the SOS determination. MD could have had a better SOS last season if they played Mission Viejo or many other Cali teams instead of Bingham, SFA or Creekside. But in your opinion those for some reason carry more weight because those 3 teams are from a different state. Who cares! OOS wins are only good wins if the team is good. I.e. IMG 2018, SFA 2019, and Gorman 2022 were good OOS wins. But aside from playing elite teams, playing an OOS carries no more significance than any other game. I know we will never agree.

Gorman has no other option because Nevada sucks. MD does not have to play OOS. Our OOS games actually hurt our SOS. Unless we play somebody like Gorman or STA we are better off playing Sierra Canyon and Mission Viejo in the regular season.

Because DeSoto’s overall SOS was weak. It was weak because of the caliber of the Texas teams they played, not because they didn’t play OOS. If the Texas elites scheduled each other in the regular season there would be no issue.

Not true. Those were not even the best games on our schedule. It’s laughable. We were consensus in 2017 and we beat Gorman and Bergen who were nowhere near as good as Bosco. 2018 when we shared the MNC our best win was Cali. In 2021 we beat Duncanville who was nowhere near Servite, Cen10 and Bosco. This past season when we shared the MNC, 9 out of our best 10 wins were all Cali teams, except for Kahuku which was our 4th best win.

That is because the best teams now in general look to schedule OOS. For some states they need to play OOS to get a better game. Its irrelevant. Every season MD’s best games have always been against Cali teams. Every season the best teams we play are Bosco, Cen10, Trinity, etc. When we beat SFA, Gorman, Duncanville, IMG those were not better than our best Cali wins.

You have to play a good schedule, not a national schedule.

It is irrelevant where the team you are playing is located. Who cares if they are OOS. Only thing that matters is the quality of the team, not their location. Crossing a state line in and of itself does not make it a better win.

True, the MD job has the pressure of a college coach. His pension was a big factor. He would have been paid in the neighborhood of 7 figures at MD and would have made more money from sponsors. He was very close to taking the job. Closer than most people realize.

Logan should have taken the MD job. It was his if he wanted it. The infrastructure and financial resources are worlds apart from Centennial. The MD booster club rivals most universities. He could have played against and traveled to anybody that is willing to schedule us.

Very true. Although we have very few transfers the last several years. I prefer it this way. I don’t want MD to take any senior transfers especially. MD has no transfers of note yet for next season and hopefully it stays that way.

True. But they will load up in the end.

They are adding more than 2. That is what Bosco does.

Contracts don’t mean anything to some teams.

BG at MD

This game will hurt SJB’s SOS and negatively impact their computer rankings.
