Jared Smith, who is a big-time prospect in 2025, plays for Spain Park on Friday night. Bails on team Sunday and is now headed to Thompson.

Eligible to play immediately in Thompson’s last game Friday against Hoover (will be second time Smith has played Hoover this regular season). Seems like that should probably not be allowed.

Thompson and Spain Park are in the same region, and Thompson is the region champ. Spain Park likely not going to the playoffs.

They need a rule against that. It’s pretty much accepted truth that Thompson is recruiting players. I mean, out of all of the nice areas in the Birmingham area, the Tagovailoas picked the armpit of Alabaster to live?

While others talk about out being committed to a team, a school, or a coaching staff, this baw is committed to winning championships

I would have preferred to go .500 with the guys I grew up playing with than win a state title with strangers.

Somewhere, some bleeding heart is saying it wouldn’t be fair to make a kid sit just because he transferred mid-season.

I’m stunned you can transfer in season and play immediately

That’s a really really bad idea

Not sure how that’s allowed. There are rules against that very scenario in other states

I'd love to know what is going on over at Thompson. My daughter was in the band at Vestavia Hills from '07-'10 and we'd go to Alabaster for the Thompson game. As late as 2010 they had the lamest, outdated facilites. Football stadium was the football version of Hickory HS from Hoosiers basketball gym. Oh, and they went 1-9 every year.

Now their stadium looks like a G5 stadium and they've won the 7A title 4 years in a rown. Who is financing all of this?

Former LSU commit, Kris Abrams-Draine, who ended up at Missouri, played at Spain Park. He's having a great year at corner for Mizzou..

Thompson is dirty in every aspect and has the AHSAA in their pocket somehow. Ask yourself how the competed in the southern region of Alabama for a while until it got called out.
