There's AAU, as many have mentioned, where everyone of caliber is seen, so, why leave your home school team when you're getting looks by "those who matter", anyway??? Especially as Simpson as your dad knowing the ins and outs of recruiting and having major coach/college connections?
And, I know many will take this badly, but, to leave LCC academics and atmosphere for LSH?
I TOTALLY don't get this way of thinking....
Just too old school and small town minded in this aspect, I guess.
High school athletics as we have known them have already DEFINTELY gone by the way as we've known them, unfortunately, RM....
I really have very lil interest anymore.
But, I do wish coach, son and "followers" all the best... I AM a Spartan supporter, always!!
Go LSH!!! ......and LCC
Times have changed......

In regards to X. His AAU coach is his dad. He'd be a fool not to play for him year round.

All about AAU and the summer. College coaches don't have a lot of time in season to check dudes out.

"Be True To Your School"
When some loud braggart tries to put me down
And says his school is great
I tell him right away
"Now what's the matter buddy
Ain't you heard of my school
It's number one in the state"
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school
I got a letterman's sweater
With a letter in front
I got for football and track
I'm proud to wear it now
When I cruise around
The other parts of the town
I got a decal in back
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school
On Friday we'll be jacked up on the football game
And I'll be ready to fight
We're gonna smash 'em now
My girl will be working on her pom-poms now
And she'll be yelling tonight
So be true to your school now
Just like you would to your girl or guy
Be true to your school now
And let your colors fly
Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school
Rah rah rah Be true to your school

Aaaaaaand, you will show that support by questioning their decision on a website? Got it.

You can't question somebodies decision, then turn around and support them? See it all the time. How many questioned LeBron James "Decision", yet now hope he returns to Cleveland?

James isn't a teenager and I don't think he got much 'support' immediately following 'the Decision'. I guess I just find it a little off-putting to publicly (though anonymously) question a teenage kid's decision on where he goes to school.

The whole transfer/AAU thing irks me too. But I have ALWAYS said at DIV I it is not as bothersome. Mostly because I am a small town fan...but for other reasons too.
I said before Q got hired that I don't think many understand how "connected" Q is...and how big this COULD get. Lima Senior could easily become a perennial USA Today fixture type team... I am not saying they WILL. But the stars are aligned.

The talk here on this website isn't any different than what everyone is talking about everywhere.
Also, I'm hardly anonymous.....

Wow....anything for a W right??? Transferring and switching jobs is one thing....transferring schools is a completely different thing. Don't get me wrong...I don't and won't fault X for going to play for his dad....that's common sense. But I will absolutely NEVER believe that LSH hired Quincy with the thought that X may stay at LCC.....and that if he decided to come to LSH that he wouldn't be the only one......

Do you know who the final 2 was when Shawn got hired when X was in elementary school and his older brother was 8th grader? It was Shawn Allen and Quincey Simpson. Why would he be a finalist if his kids were BOTH already in the district? Because they know he has ability to relate to the kids. Now getting X back may have made the decision a lot easier but not the only factor in the decision.

X has a name that will attract colleges to the gym.
If the other kids are there playing well theyll get an opportunity to be seen.
I cant vision any division 1 coaches going to any other school to watch kids bc none of them have a "name"
right now.
And if your a kid who wants to win why wouldnt you want to play with X?
But if your a kid who would rather have personal goals then i could see why you wouldnt come!!!
I think Cobb is tired of being in X shadow.
Theyve been playing together since 3rd or 4th grade.
Now he sees an opportunity to do his OWN thing and have his OWN light!!!
Walton will be unhappy without X.
Cob is a shoot 1st wing plaer that will play the PG position,while X is a pass 1st true PG who gets his teammates involves... BIG difference!!!
Also look out for a kid moving into Lima from Cleveland.
I forgot his name but he supposedly plays for Q's King James Team!!!
