25 transfers in two years. Because of the "connections" they offer to colleges. Interesting.

I was surprised to read that KJJR has already transferred high schools and that he had a problem with players and coaches in Orange County. Anyone know the back story there?

Yeah, IDGI.

Here's an article on the topic. It was the quote at the end of that article that spurred my question about Johnson. I hadn't heard that "issue" before (it's probably not an issue, but was curious if anyone knew what he was referring to).

"The number of transfers they've had is pretty unprecedented," Wegher said. "I've never heard of that in a two-year period. Obviously, when you have a big influx of players headed into a rival school like that it's concerning."

One of the first students to transfer to Calabasas in the last two years was quarterback Tristan Gebbia, who attended Oaks Christian, a private school where Clausen was an assistant coach. According to eligibility rules, players who follow their coaches cannot play for a year. Gebbia switched to Calabasas a week before Clausen was hired, according to Southern Section records.

Keyshawn Johnson Jr. grew up in the Calabasas area, but his family moved to Mission Viejo when he was a freshman in high school. In an interview at a recent practice, he said he had problems with some of the coaches and the players at Mission Viejo, but that was not the reason his family returned to Calabasas last year. Rather, he said, his parents decided to move back because his dad was not a fan of living in Orange County.

The thing that sparked my ire in that USAToday thread was his little quote about "I have right here in my phone the numbers of Saban, Kiffen, etc. etc." At a public school, he's recruiting (to the tune of 12.5 transfers a year so far) with the pitch of "I can get you to the next level."

It's swarmy. That's all.

It's smarmy. That's all. But you call him a dirtbag.

 
Oaks Christian is a private school 13 miles away from Calabasas. Gebbia did state in one of those recent interviews that Calabasas was his 'hometown team', so he more than likely opted to go to a private school a little further away to play on a better team. Holmes' dad owns(?) ProWay training which is located in Calabasas.

He followed Clausen, who coached at Oaks Christian.

I guess it's appropriate to talk about a Clausen in a threaded titled this way.

Never said he didn't and could not care less. You act as though this is an isolated incident when in reality high schools around the nation do this. How many transfers a year does IMG Academy have? Hell high schools are recruiting 6th graders but somehow you have a problem with a kid transferring from a private school to a public school that are about the same distance from where he lives just because a coach switched jobs?

 
In his world every 3-star is a high 4-star, every 4-star is an underrated 5-star and every 5-star is a 7-star, as long as they have a Nebraska offer.

Laugh now, but you're all going to feel really silly when Nebraska wins back-to-back-to-back-to-back national championships.

I'm not even talking about that. Check out his post in the Smug American Liberalism topic. Actually I'll just quote it.

While experiences may play a role in the formation of a given person's political perspectives, I believe that whether a given person is politically conservative or conversely 'liberal' is genetic and one is born with a built in bias or tendency to thinking a certain way. Those who are on the Demcrat/socialist side politically and socially do not think the same way as those who are conservative. Their brains do not function the same way. Basic logical thinking and reasoning is often polar opposite. As a conservative, I believe liberals simply do not 'compute' the same way the rest of intelligent human being do. One might simply suggest that while a conservative will be perfectly comfortable saying that 2 + 2 = 4, a liberal would come up with 22 (or perhaps even 5).

Conservatives look at the facts of a given situation and from those facts, use logical reasoning to form opinions about those facts.

Liberals form their opinions and thereafter and will find 'facts' or simply make them up in an attempt to justify or support whatever position they wish to promote.

You will find that most young liberals are the children of liberal parents and the same will apply to conservative children. While one's environment will influence one's thinking, the underlying core values and principles and one's sense of right vs wrong are, in my view, instinctive and born in traits.
