Doesn’t matter if they were recruited to the extent Randy recruits. They switched schools for athletics and didn’t sit out a year. That’s illegal. Maybe not AS illegal as what basketball is doing, but illegal is illegal.
Perhaps I’m in the minority here, but who honestly cares. If a highschool wants to put athletics on pedestal to the point they are plugging in recruits, that’s a decision a school can make.
If parents want to move their 14/15/16/17 year old kids around for sports, it’s just another in a long line of parenting values I disagree with but who actually cares.
That sports played by 14 year olds is now more heavily regulated than college sports seems kind of stupid to me.

I sort of kind of want to agree with you, but at some point, you have to have a level playing field for everyone…
If I’m being honest, when I hear schools like Zachary, Curtis, WM & Evangel (back in the day) brag about winning football titles, I just kind of roll my eyes because they’re supposed to.. they’re not on even playing fields like the majority of the other schools
They really need to police the shite better, and if they’re going to turn a blind eye to illegal players playing at new schools, then those schools need to have their own divisions or classes

In theory I completely agree. And if enough others agree, they can vote to change the rules. Until then, these are the rules that the LHSAA governs by, and if you break them, there are consequences, like forfeiting games and suspending coaches.
