Teams with most Returning Starters

[jha618]

You typed this.

“99% of this board doesn't care and realizes that's just the way it is in 2025”

“No one believes you”

That’s not speaking for everyone?

This would be two higher profile transfers than any I can remember and you still believe the IHSA hasn’t looked in to these? Check Maine South if you don’t think they look into transfers.
I am done arguing about something neither of us can prove. Maybe the IHSA will find fault and then you will be happy. I am betting nothing because it’s all above board. IMO

Well the wr transfer just happened a week ago so not really time for much of an investigation.

The question isn't about proof. The question was if we believe he recruits players. You don't think he does. And ppl are giving you crap about it because it's such a naive stance to take given the whats happening in hs sports and the fact he's gotten two very high profile (your words) transfers in 2 years.

If you get a starter from another school that transfer in, do you count him as a returning starter?

Privates don’t like being beat at their own game, especially if it’s all above board. Prove otherwise. You can’t but you will try to validate your objective. Gobear25 you are a rookie here trying to be a big fish. In reality You are just a guppy with a big mouth.

Moving is required to transfer to a Private as well I don't know why you don't think it is. I'm sure they rented an apartment within the district and they probably kept their Libertyville home, but a temporary address change to that district is all that is required. And that is the same for Catholic to Catholic or Public to Catholic/Private, a move is required and if it is Catholic to Catholic the other school needs to sign off in many cases as well. He moved into the District so he is all legit to play. The Daily Southtown did a article on him and he's played 7 on 7 with Williams for 2 years and was friends with him for years and with Shambow graduating Libertyville and his only offers so far MAC schools they felt this was the best decision. Which is totally his right, he didn't have to lie and say financial hardships or anything, he wanted to play with Williams to get better noticed so they moved. People may not like it and be bitter grapes but it is what it is.

Moving is required to become eligible to play DAY ONE. If you transfer without moving then you have to sit for sometime.

What I don’t get is why this family would up root and move to play at another public school when they could just enroll at a private school and don’t have to move. I will repeat what privates always say whatever talking about recruiting. Prove the school did anything illegal. Listen I am not stupid that stuff like this is going on but prove recruiting was being done. Prove that the family isn’t living in there district. Until you can then it’s just accusations. Privates don’t like being beaten at their own game. Why didn’t he transfer to a private school?

getting an Apartment is cheaper than tuition.

getting an Apartment is cheaper than tuition.

Especially if the transfers places of living are owned by the same person

Do you know if they are renting or did the family buy a house? Interesting to know.

I think the only thing that has been proven to me is Corey really doesnt know his beloved LWE as much as he thinks. LWE has always done these type of things players just randomly “Living” in district, why don’t you go check what middle school the O’rourke brothers went to, I can tell you my daughter taught them…..
