He’s talking about #24 not the WR. And yes, the WR was invited to a Kentucky game this year so I would consider visiting an SEC school D1 interest.
I think some of that depends on the talent pool you have to draw from. It’s advantageous for all OE schools but when you a pulling from Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, etc it’s different than the Ohio Valley and other areas. More talent available in larger areas.
Agreed
Pretty sure blocking and tackling count as contributions, right? Pretty sure special teams mean a little too.
This is far from the truth
I hope he does. However, it will be an uphill battle competing with a Sr. That is if they even let them compete.
Not trying to argue, I'm open minded.
I don't know if that was Ted Ginn's original intent. Because I don't know him. But the result of what he did is this: Kids that go to the Ginn academy can play football elsewhere because the Ginn academy does not offer football. Of course, most of the "good players" from the Ginn Academy go to Glenville for football. The kicker is this; the kids that go to the Academy are not counted towards Glenvilles enrollment because they "technically" don't attend Glenville school. Although they play football for Glenville! It's a legal and unfair loophole that allows what is basically a D-1 or D-2 school to play in Division 4. It's crazy!
Just to be example, and probably more but WGH is open enrollment, and Hudson is closed enrollment, and WGH hasn't beat them once, in the last 10 years.
Yes, very true, but I guess the situation hits home for me, since I'm a Harding fan, so I use that example, but Harding just is not benefiting from open enrollment. In fact WGH isn't even keeping the city kids, some are going to Warren JFK.
It's a public school but you have to live in the Wyoming community to go there.
No I believe they are a public charter school. And I think the rule is the kids have to play at the home school if the charter doesn't offer sports. That is the rule to my knowledge.
You may want to check that. There are nearly 100's of threads with complaints about the Ginn Academy, and how they cirvumvent the system and be able to be D-4.
It doesn't mean they are right
closed. the schools are ranked in the top-5 in OH, and if we had open enrollment we'd be in d3 or d2.
If Glenville does indeed roll Wyoming, a very good if not great D4 program, then this model needs to be squashed and reworked. For teams like Stubenville and Wyoming to do everything the right way and work their asses to a state title run, only to be met by a football factory in the final is just wrong. I have not seen Glenville play, but everything I am reading says they are going to roll Wyoming and that would be a shame because Wyoming is a legit D4 team..
What makes you think I'm a steubenville fan? I don't care that Steubenville lost, so I can laugh with you. I never once said Steubenville would win, hust said they would score on that stellar D, lol, and they did. Glenville gonna embarass Wyoming,as they would have to Steubenville to.
So you're just a professional troll then. Got it! And you didn't say they would just score. You specifically said they would score 4 touchdowns! They didn't. You were wrong. Now pay 4GX his money. (BTW nobody is expecting any D-4 school to beat Glenville) Myself included.
Wyoming is a public school with no open enrollment. I would love to know how many kids from Wyoming end up going to GCL schools. And to someone else's point, Wyoming is a great school district academically.
You going to man up and pay your bet?
Embarrass them like they embarrassed Liberty, Van Wert and Avon?
A very small amount of kids do leave the district to attend a GCL school but they’re usually not football players and do so for other sports or for religious reasons. Wyoming’s strong football tradition and track record of sending players to D1 NCAA programs keeps kids from leaving for GCL schools.
