SPORTS NEWS, BRAD HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL IS KICKING OFF OR NOT
DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE IN
THE U.S., THE CORONAVIRUS
PANDEMIC IS WREAKING HAVOC OVER
THE RETURN OF SPORTS AND HIGH
SCHOOL ATHLETICS ARE
NOT EXCLUDED FOR EXAMPLE
STUDENT ATHLETES
IN WASHINGTON, THEY ARE
PETITIONING TO GOVERNOR JAY
INSLEE TO ALLOW FALL SPORTS TO
BE PLAYED AS SCHEDULED.
INSTEAD OF IN THE SPRING
MEANWHILE, SEVERAL GEORGIA HIGH
SCHOOLS HAVE HAD TO PUSH BACK
THEIR SEASON OPENERS DUE TO
COVID-19 OUTBREAKS. SO HOW DOES
THIS IMPACT STUDENT ATHLETES
LOOKING FOR THAT ELUSIVE
COLLEGE SCHOLARSHIP. JOINING US
NOW THAT POP NATIONAL FOOTBALL
EDITOR AT MAXPREPS AMERICA
SOURCE FOR HIGH
SCHOOL SPORTS. WELCOME TO THE
SHOW WE'RE SO EXCITED TO TALK
TO YOU ZACH. HIGHS YEAH,
LATE FOR.
>> YES, NO WE'RE VERY EXCITED
TO HAVE YOU I'M GOING TO DIVE
RIGHT IN HERE BECAUSE SO MANY
QUESTIONS FOR YOU STARTING WITH
THIS TOP HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETES,
A SPY.
>> TOWARDS A YOU KNOW A COLLEGE
CAREER A SCHOLARSHIP.
HOW DEVASTATING OUR DECISIONS
BY SOME STATES TO PUSH THE FALL
SEASON INTO THE SPRING FOR
THESE HIGH SCHOOLERS.
>> YEAH, YOU KNOW IT REALLY
DOESN'T HURT BEFORE AN 5 START
KIDS A LOT, BUT IT DOES HURT A
LOT OF YOU KNOW KIDS THAT ARE
LOOKING FOR
THAT FIRST IT OFFERED THAT ARE
SENIORS THAT WERE GOING FOR
THAT LAST ATTEMPT TO TRY AND
GET RECRUITED. SO THAT HAS HAD
A HUGE EFFECT IN KIDS IN
CALIFORNIA AND OTHER STATES
THAT DECIDED TO MOVE TO THE
SPRING. SO WE'VE SEEN THAT
HAPPEN WE'VE SEEN A COUPLE KIDS
ACTUALLY END UP TRANSFERRING
FROM STATES GO TO ANOTHER STATE
BETTER PLAYING IN THE FALL.
JUST SO THEY CAN HAVE AN
ATTEMPT TO GET THAT LAST OFFER
BUT IT'S HAD A HUGE EFFECT AND
IT'S EVEN
AFFECTED JUNIORS AND SOPHOMORES
TO BECAUSE THE SPRING PERIOD IS
A WAY WHERE THEY GO TO CAMPS
AND GET EVALUATED BY YOU KNOW
RECRUITING SITES LIKE 24 7
SPORTS AND RIVALS.
THEY HAVEN'T HAD THAT
OPPORTUNITY BECAUSE EVERYTHING
GOT PUSHED BACK GOT CANCELED,
SO IT, IT'S BEEN A HUGE HIT TO
A LOT OF KIDS LOOKING FOR THAT
LAST ATTEMPT TO TRY AND GET A
CALL A JOB. BUT WE ARE SEEING
SUCCESS IN CERTAIN STATES THAT
HAVE LATE IN THE FALL, SO IT'S
BODING WELL FOR KIDS IN UTAH
AND ALABAMA AND OTHER STATES
THAT HAVE GOT STARTED
TO SELL.
>> CAN WE DIVE IN A LITTLE MORE
INTO THAT BECAUSE SOME STATES
ARE SYNONYMOUS WITH HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL OF COURSE WE'RE
TALKING TEXAS
AND FLORIDA. YOU MENTION A LOT
OF STUDENT ATHLETES ARE
ACTUALLY LEAVING THEIR STATES
POSSIBLY YOU KNOW TRANSFERRING
TO THESE OTHER SCHOOLS OR
STATES WHERE FOOTBALLS ARE
BEING PLAYED OF IS BEING PLAYED
HOW PREVALENT IS THIS.
>> YEAH, I MEAN WE'RE EVEN
SEEING WITH 4, 5 STAR KIDS YOU
KNOW FOR EXAMPLE JAKE OR SEE
ALOHA BRYCE COOL DOWN IN
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. A
USC COMMIT AND HE WANTED TO
PLAY HIS SENIOR SEASON, HE
FEELS LIKE HE CAN GET
A LOT BETTER STILL SO HE ENDED
UP TRANSFERRING ALL THE WAY TO
GEORGIA TO PLAY FOR ONE OF THE
MOST PRESTIGIOUS HIGH SCHOOL
FOOTBALL PROGRAM
SOUTH AUSTIN THEY ACTUALLY HAVE
MORE WINS THAN ANY OTHER HIGH
SCHOOL FOOTBALL PROGRAM IN THE
COUNTRY SO WE'RE SEEING THAT
WE'RE SEEING A LOT OF
OTHER KIDS DECIDE TO TRANSFER
FROM CALIFORNIA TO UTAH JUST TO
GET A CHANCE THAT PLANE TO BUT
YOU KNOW IT THE 4,
5 STAR KID, THEY'RE THEY'RE
ALREADY SAID WHERE THEY'RE GOOD
NOT GOING TO JUST PROBABLY PLAY
THEIR SENIOR SEASON WE'VE SEEN
WITH A COUPLE OF KIDS FROM
MODERN DAY HIGH SCHOOL JAYLIN
DAVIES. OREGON COMMIT HE'S
GOING TO JUST SIT OUT HIS
SENIOR SEASON KOREY FOREMAN,
THE NUMBER ONE PLAYER OVERALL
24 7 SPORTS COMPOSITE RANKINGS
HE'S NOT GOING TO PLAY SENIOR
SEASON IN THE SPRING. THESE
GUYS ARE PLANNING TO
ENROLL EARLY. BUT YOU'RE ALSO
SEEING SOME KIDS LIKE RAGE ON
DAVIS OF 2021 LSU COMMIT.
HE SAID HE'S GOING TO STAY AND
PLAY IN THE SPRING IN
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE HE WANTS TO
FINISH OUT HIS HEIST, WE'LL
CLEAR SO IT'S ALL OVER THE MAP
WITH KIDS KIND OF UP IN THE AIR
DECIDE IF THEY'RE GOING TO SET
OUT THEIR SENIOR SEASON
OR GO AHEAD AND PLAY IN THE
SPRING, BUT IT'S JUST BEEN
CRAZY TO SEEN IT'S BEEN JUST A
BIZARRE YEAR FOR SURE.
>> FOR SURE I'M GLAD YOU
MENTIONED MODERN DAY BECAUSE WE
KNOW NATIONAL SIGNING DAY
SLATED FOR FEBRUARY 3RD SEVERAL
TOP HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND
SPEND INCLUDING THE ONES YOU
MENTIONED
MODERN DAY DULLES
SOUTH ALL IN CALIFORNIA.
THEY DON'T KICK OFF UNTIL EARLY
2021 THE BIG 10 PAC, 12
POSTPONING THEIR
COLLEGE SEASONS. SO SAC DO
BELIEVE THE NC DOUBLE A WILL
NEED TO PUSH SIGNING DAY A
LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
>> YEAH, I MEAN IT MAKES ITS
LIKE YOU GOT TO THINK THEY'RE
GOING TO DEFINITELY EXTEND THAT
PERIOD,
YOU KNOW THE EARLY FEBRUARY IS
THE DAY WHERE EVERYONE KNOWS
ABOUT BUT ACTUALLY KIDS CAN
SIGN ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL
EARLY APRIL BUT I EXPECT THE NC
DOUBLE A TO GO AND EXTEND THAT
EVEN FURTHER THAN THAT APRIL
DAY BECAUSE THERE WILL BE SOME
STATES LIKE WASHINGTON FOR
EXAMPLE, I KNOW THEY'RE THEY'RE
KIND OF PROTESTING TODAY TO
TRYING TO MOVE BACK TO THE
FALL, BUT IF THEY DON'T
FOOTBALL WON'T END UNTIL MAY
IN THE SPRING IN THE STATE OF
WASHINGTON, WHAT AFFECTS KIDS
PLANE BECAUSE OF THAT SIGNING
DAY PERIOD ENDS IN APRIL
THEY'LL STILL BE PLANT, SO IT
KIND OF CONFUSES LOT OF THINGS
I FEEL LIKE THEY DEFINITELY
NEED TO MOVE THAT PUSHED DATE
BACK AND IT'S BEEN KIND OF
BIZARRE BECAUSE THEY REALLY
HAVEN'T BEEN YOU KNOW CLEAR ON
EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO
DO WITH THAT SIGNING DAY PERIOD
AND ALSO ANOTHER FACTOR TOO IS
THE NCA GRANTED ELIGIBILITY FOR
NEXT YEAR.
SO THAT'S GOING TO AFFECT KIDS
THAT ARE IN THE 2021 CLASS
BECAUSE IF THEY GOING TO TAKE
UP SOME OF THOSE SCHOLARSHIP
OFFERS THAT KIDS ELECT TO STAY
THAT HAVE AN EXTRA YEAR OF
ELIGIBILITY SO THERE'S STILL A
LOT OF QUESTION MARKS
THE MTA NEEDS TO BE MORE CLEAR
ON TO YOU KNOW DECIDE WHAT THE
CLASS OF 2021 TO LOOK LIKE FOR
A LOT OF THESE HIGH
SCHOOL ATHLETES.
>> ADDING TO THOSE QUESTION
MARKS AK ATHLETE TO PLAY
MULTIPLE SEASONS LIKE VARSITY
FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL FOR
EXAMPLE, HOW DOES THIS IMPACT
RECRUITING WHEN TO SPORTS
SEASONS ARE PLAYING
CONCURRENTLY.
>> THE ONE GOOD THING THAT A
LOT OF THESE STATES HAVE DONE
LIKE CALIFORNIA FOR EXAMPLE AND
WASHINGTON IS THEY'VE
MADE IT WHERE THE SPORTS AREN'T
GOING TO OVERLAP TOO MUCH SO
KIDS THAT ARE YOU KNOW PLAYING
MULTIPLE SPORTS.
THEY'RE STILL GOING TO HAVE
THAT YOU LOOK AT JT TO UM ALLOW
5 STARTING AT EASTSIDE
CATHOLIC. HE'S STILL GOING TO
GO TO PLAY BASKETBALL AND
FOOTBALL, IF HE CHOOSES TOO
BECAUSE WASHINGTON DID A GOOD
JOB OF
YOU KNOW MAKING SURE THE DATES
DON'T OVERLAP TOO MUCH WERE YOU
STILL WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY
THOSE MULTIPLE SPORTS. BUT YOU
KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE TOUGH ON
YOUR BODY TO LIKE TAKE FOR
EXAMPLE, A SPORT FOOTBALL.
IF YOU MOVE TO THE SPRING BUT
THEN YOU GO BACK
TO THE ALL THAT'S GOING TO BE
TOUGH FOR KIDS TO PLAY SPRING
SEASON THEN HAVE TO COME RIGHT
BACK AND PLAY IN THE FALL
TALKING ABOUT THE A C SOON YOUR
SENIOR SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS
THAT WILL YOU KNOW BE PLAYING
IN THE SPRING, THEY HAVE TO
