re: Is Adrian Ealy still at Uhigh?

Off topic in a recruiting thread, but as someone that had two kids start in the Episcopal school system (very good education, too damn expensive) and finish at U-High, I certainly think it was money well spent. And I wasn't bothered by the "recruiting" in the least. My kids getting to play ball alongside Dylan, Nick and Tim enhanced their experiences, didn't affect their playing time in the least, and judging from how they've done at LSU, the education they got was pretty good.

Just read his article on transferring in the Advocate. Question: He is quoted in the article that he left U High in order to play at EA for his senior year and graduate to get in college in January.
Sine the LHSAA doesn't allow transfers for athletic reasons how can he be eligible at EA? The LHSAA bylaws are very clear on this. If a student changes schools for athletic reason he shall not be eligible, ever.
How can he do this and maintain eligibility?
what does graduating early have to do with HIGH SCHOOL sports

The transfer is so that he can graduate early. That's an academic thing. What he does after he graduates is of no concern to the LHSAA.
ETA: Sorry, just replied to the last post in the thread.

So the graduating early thing has nothing to do with athletics, right? Pure academics is the reason why he wants to graduate early?
If the move is to graduate early for athletic reasons then per the LHSAA rules he cannot be eligible.
Then again, its a public school so he will be fine. Can you imagine the outcry if a kid like this was moving to an evil private school for his senior season? He would never be ruled eligible by the LHSAA.

Cry me a frickin' river.
Where were you when he left EA to go to UHigh?

It has nothing to do with high school athletics. High school athletics is what falls under the purview of the LHSAA. It's really a simple concept.

You're crying? Why are you crying?
I don't care where the kid goes to school I just get tired of the LHSAA double standard on transfers to public schools versus transfers to privates.
I wish the kid the best and hope he wears the purple and gold but you and I both know this would never be allowed if the schools were reversed. My only point is to magnify the hypocrisy/double standard of the LHSAA.

He started out at EA before transferring to U High. That said, it would ABSOLUTELY stand if he transferred from a public high school that does not allow early graduation to a private high school that does.

The double standard is a figment of your imagination.

You haven't followed LHSAA rulings very closely over the last 10 years have you?

Right, kinda like the figment of imagination that would think the publics would kick the privates out of the playoff system. That will never happen either so they said...

Okay. You act like you have. Find me 1 situation where that occurred.

Seeing as how he was a 3 yr starter at U High idk how that would be possible!

I'll give you two that I specifically remember.
Geoffrey Nixon moved from 200 miles away to attend Evangel. His family purchased a home in the Evangel District. He was ruled ineligible by the LHSAA because his decision to choose Evangel was partially motivated by the football program. His testimony in the hearing stated that the move was based on his family's desire to receive a Christian based education.
Kase Gonzales enrolled at Parkview Baptist School from a smaller school for his senior year. His smaller school did not offer AP courses and Parkview did. His reason for the move was to better prepare him for upcoming college and obtain college credits his senior year.
In his interview with the LHSAA he was asked did he intend on playing sports at Parkview and were sports important to his decision? Kase answered, yes, sports are important to me. LHSAA ruled Kase ineligible due to athletics being a partial motive for his move to Parkview.
Both Nixon and Gonzales stayed at the respective schools despite these ridiculous LHSAA rulings. They were ruled ineligible simply because they intended to play sports at the school and sports had a partial impact on their decision to enroll in the school.
So much for the 'academic move' theory based on these two cases.

Definitely not the same situation. Aside from that, we both know the Christian school argument was total bullshite. There wasn't a Christian school within 200 miles?

Lol, you are bad at arguments.

Jester, you put misinformation on here, LSUASHLYN does his homework and makes very legit points and all you come with is "you're bad at arguments". Weak dude, weak. Go crawl back into that hillbilly hole you crawled out of.

Oh, look, the U High fans agree with each other. Shocking. Her points are irrelevant. The points she is making are not pertinent to the discussion at hand.

I didn't go to UHIGH. I graduated from a public school.
"Knowing" or believing is not the intent of the rule. We also "know" that Ealy moved from UHIGH to EA solely for athletic reasons to move to the next level a semester early. We know Kase moved to Parkview to gain college credits his former school didn't offer. These two scenarios are almost identical with the exception of one is a public transfer and one is a private transfer.

This has nothing to do with your argument. It is apparent the LHSAA treats transfers from privates to publics different than they treat transfers from publics to privates.
Thanks for debating, I enjoyed it and I enjoy hearing other sides of issues. I would agree with you but then we would both be wrong.
