Bills_06 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 2 minutes ago, Slu let the dogs out? said: Very true but I think transferring to Belleville would allow that BBE spotlight to continue through the fall and into winter versus playing on a St. Mary's team that graduated most of the players from this past year. Unless BBE plays year round? I'm not familiar with their schedule. If not, this is why I hope he commits to SLU this summer. iI he is in fact very high on SLU. BBE is just the AAU summer team. The problem is if he wants to be at SLU and if Ford is going hard after him now, there would be no reason not to commit and sign in the early period before the season. Ford can't promise to keep a scholarship open for him so if he holds out, it is most likely because he doesn't want to be at SLU anyways.

NashvilleBilliken Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Just curious, how is he able to transfer without his family moving....or is that the rumor as well? I've never quite understood how kids can change public schools within a city so easily. I've always been under the impression you are zoned for a specific high school....but I, admittedly, know very little about this subject. Count me in the camp that this could be a good thing for SLU if TheOne's sources are accurate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshoe Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Both Yuri and Liddell will likely have committed and signed before a single high school game is played next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Do people actually believe that both Liddell and Collins are going to wait until around this time next year to sign with a program? Who was that last highly recruited local high school player who waited until the spring to sign? They will both sign letters of intent in the fall.

Count me in the camp that this could be a good thing for SLU if TheOne's sources are accurate... I know for folks living in Illinois, for transferring public schools the family would either have to move or a change of guardianship that would put the kid in a different school boundary. This happens fairly frequently as there are a number of families renting apartments and moving around more frequently and there are a number of public schools in a fairly confined area across the river. I am not sure the rules on transferring from public to private or vice versa. And I have no idea the rules in Missouri despite living in Missouri. The only reason I knew the rule in Illinois was because I kept seeing kids transferring from one public school in the Southwestern Conference to ESL for football. There are a few rumors of kids who may transfer to Belleville West, but as a public school those kids would have to move within the footprint.

Does he live in Illinois and commute to St. Mary's? I doubt a kid would be able to transfer to a public school in Illinois absent living in that footprint.

I could be wrong (and probably am) but I thought you could go to any public school (assuming they accept you of course) as long as you pay. I'm currently in the Webster school district but strongly considering paying top dollar to send my kids to St. Louis city public schools. EDIT: Briefly looked through Webster's enrollment links and it appears that the primary residence of a potential transfer student must be located in an unaccredited school district in order to enroll in Webster schools. Looks like you must pay tuition as well. Not entirely sure if this is the only way a student outside of the district can attend Webster however. Also not sure if this is a local, county, or state thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMM28 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Transferring FROM a private school is usually a pretty easy task in terms of eligibility. Transferring from public to public is a bit harder, but there are tons of loopholes now based on the school's performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've offered each separately and made a strong push for each. Is there some different about calling it a package deal? I'm sure the staff has talked about the benefits of playing with each other and Carteare and Jordan and Thatch, etc. in their recruiting pitches.

If you wait until spring, you've got your attention divided between being "courted" and trying to win a championship, plus all of the other stuff that goes with being a senior in high school.

Coach314 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Lawrence Brazil left CBC and played for Belleville West this past season. I believe he was originally from Illinois so that move was a little easier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember watching them play Chaminade (really fun game) and asking a guy at work why that name sounded so familiar and he reminded me that he transferred from CBC. Wasn't the Doby kid back in the day from Cahokia? CBC's recruiting has impressive reach, I suppose they at least find kids in districts where CBC is a step up from their public school.
