Gavin Guidry moved to LC when he was 11. Brody Drost transferred legally and sat out his freshman year to be eligible. Both moved because they wanted to play at Barbe and were not interested in being a part of the politics is SHS.
Also to be fair, both were actually recruited but not by Barbe! They were both called by another high school coach multiple times over multiple weeks to transfer to their school because things were tough at Barbe.

thank you. Sulphur is full of politics and why they ended up with the football and baseball coaches they did. nobody wants to deal with that bullshite

yet sulphur is always accusing barbe of recruiting if kids want to are moving. and again, like you said, its perfectly within the rules to get an out of zone, go to a school out of district and only play freshman and JV ball your freshman year. 95% of private school kids have to do that now that all feeder schools went away.

I don't understand why it's a big deal if a kid goes to high school out of district. Orleans Parish high schools (let's just use Brother Martin and Jesuit) get kids from all over - Eastbank JP, Westbank JP, St Charles, St Tammany, etc. It doesn't mean that they were "recruited". If by recruiting, you mean reaching out to kids at camps, showcases, tourneys/leagues, etc then of course. And, if you're not at least toeing the line in "recruiting" then you're losing - and that goes for the schools in general, not just sports. I can say with absolute certainty that most, if not all, cross the line in "recruiting" nowadays at times. I don't know why Barbe would be any different. Not a big deal to me.

its not a big deal but many of these dumbasses like to think because a kid lives in a certain area...they own the talent and he must go to the local school.

doesnt matter if the local school is terrible, terrible at developing talent, terrible coaching, terrible facilities, terrible academics, unsafe envirnoment, terrible politics, etc etc etc.....they fricking own the kid because you know....he lives there damn it!!

its a dumb socialistic mentality. these same people are very much against school choice because how dare schools compete for students and get better. How fricking dare they!!!

yet these same people will get on the Poli board and claim to be conservatives. Its a tradition in LA, have an Iq under 100, claim to be conservative but when it comes time to critically think about and apply conservative principles across the board, they are incapable.
