It is also to showcase HS kids for college, NOT to showcase their talents for prospective PAROCHIAL HIGH SCHOOL coaches. Furthermore, I've talked about the PD article on these "talent shows", many times, if you want to read more about them, YOU look it up.

As far as the "combine" in Cleveland goes I have said this before and maybe it didn't sink in so I will try again. If what they did was wrong even someone who is blinded by hatred like you would have notified the OHSAA and put a stop to it. If holding a "combine" for PAROCHIAL school kids by a PAROCHIAL high school is wrong then screw the OHSAA.

Al Bundy;687374 wrote:There is one set of rules for Massillon and another set of rules for everyone else. Skank's combine argument is one of the best examples of this. He has no problem with Massillon hosting a combine that brings in kids from different states http://rise.espn.go.com/football/events/2011/02/NIKE-SPARQ-Combine-Ohio.aspx , but he has a problem with catholic schools looking at catholic school kids.

skank;687534 wrote:Yes, you are correct, there ARE one set of rules for publics and another for parochials. Are you THAT slow? How does Massillon gain from that combine? The combine is for kids to aquire a SPARQ score for the colleges to look at. The one in Cleveland and the one in Youngstown, (Don't act like there isn't one), is for coaches to examine possible recruits.

sherm03;687640 wrote:Way to ignore Dean's question again skank.

Why is it recruiting if a kid decides he wants to go to a parochial school after starting in a public school? But if a kid goes from a public school to an open enrollment public school, that is not recruiting in your eyes?

Perfect example, Maurice Clarett lived in Youngstown and started at Fitch. He left Fitch and went to Harding. There was no complaints from anyone about it. But had he lived in Youngstown and started at Fitch. And then left and went to Mooney...people would have said that Mooney recruited him.

Just give it up already skank. You keep sounding more and more like thinthick with every post.

skank;689132 wrote:In Claretts freshman year, he started the first 4 games for Fitch before being injured and missing at least a couple of games. Before the injury, he had rushed for 469 yards on 61 carries, and had 6 TD's, he was also leading the SVC in all purpose yards at 180 a game, AS A FRESHMAN, (what he did after the injury I'm not sure), So you're telling me that there were NO complaints from anyone? I bet some people from Austintown would beg to differ.

But if MoC had come to Mooney instead of Harding, every person in the area (and most people around the state) would have said that Mooney cheated and recruited him and blah blah blah.
Again, way to avoid the question. Why is it OK for a kid to transfer to an open enrollment school, but you don't feel that it's OK for a kid to transfer to a parochial school?

Let me answer your question with a few questions. Let's take St. V, (during the LBJ era), for example, do you know the backround of most of those kids? Do you know how they ended up at St. V? I mean, was it just a coincidence that most of those kids grew up together and all ended up with the opportunity to get a good education at a parochial school? Was it a coincidence that they were all pretty darn good basketball players? Did their parent(s), grandparents or gaurdians suddenly come up with tuition? How could these inner city kids afford tuition at a private school?
