I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. This is nil driven and it’s the mother that’s running things. She, through a fired coach at Bastrop, shopped him around in high school. It’s how he landed at Neville. Mom got a house in Monroe. Sadly, she’s running things.

I’ve heard this, too.
Hope it’s not true.
Both will end up bitter and disappointed in the long run.

I know absolutely nothing about Heard's mom or their situation generally, but it seems incredibly difficult for me to believe that there was someone willing to buy a house in order to add one player to a high school team.

What kind of person is so obsessed with winning high school football games that they would buy/rent a house for a family just so the kid could play football for a certain high school?

Y'all can point the finger at the mom and say she's the problem for "shopping" the kid, but it's insane to me that there are "buyers" out there for high school athletes.

There are obviously people willing to pay for the services of high school athletes, so why shouldn't a family consider improving their situation for a few years? I don't know the specifics of their situation, but I can't blame anyone for taking advantages of opportunities to better their families.
