Aledo sells itself. Of course they have bagmen that do a great job. Best of both worlds. But they stay under the radar and small in number. Recruiting in DFW goes on more than you think.

Goes on all over the state.

That’s the nature of the beast. Even here in Corpus Christi where baseball is king, football stars find their way to the powerhouse school.

Aledo just so happened to have a state MVP QB transfer in there for this season. They seem to get impact transfers every year.

Yep. Dallas paper had an article today about open enrollment. That’s the elephant in the room. They need to curb it now. And Westlake is open enrollment. So are Duncanville and Northshore. That’s nonsense and needs to go away now.

so it’s similar to Karr in Orleans Parish?

Schools can’t be open enrollment. School districts can be. So if a district is open enrollment, then all of their schools are. In the Bridgeland case though, the lines are always moving as new schools open, so I don’t know.

The UIL doesn’t have to get rid of open enrollment. Some districts do it so kids can go be part of academic or fine arts programs. That’s great and should keep going.

But if you don’t live in a house or apartment within that particular schools zone, you shouldn’t be able to participate in a UIL sport for that school. They should take a hard line on all transfers also.

One of the best DBs in Dallas, who attended a private school in Fort Worth this year, announced on Twitter today that he officially transferred to Duncanville. Duncanville’s QB was at a different private school last year. UIL should tell them they can stay private, or attend whatever public school they are zoned to.

And it’s not most schools/districts. Only 16/40 6A districts in DFW are open enrollment. And that’s counting some that aren’t true open enrollment. Like Southlake (who still gets move ins). They have open enrollment, but it’s only to capture a couple of small areas in Southlake city limits that are part of neighboring school districts. If you don’t live in Southlake, they won’t allow you to attend.
