So what are you saying? out of state players are better than in state? They aren't recruiting from California or Ohio like IMG They are restricted to an area where kids can actually get to school in a reasonable amount of time like every school in DE They are located in a 30 mile radius of three states so they pull from them.. Are you telling me a kid from Exton PA or Elkton Md is a better player than one from Newark DE?
Sallies has been getting kids from PA, NJ, and MD for decades. The argument USED to be why don’t they have more championships. The difference from the years prior is their playbook isn’t outdated and kids are now playing to their strengths. Delledonne are putting the kids in position to succeed and win games. Like a previous poster stated before, the sals faithful are probably jumping in joy for having an offensive coach that knows how’s things work these days.
MT….you have made the point perfectly. I sit in the stands 4-5 time a year with some old Sals grads. They are getting used to the offense. Yes, they love winning. Delle Donne is the real deal. I hope he can find a DC to take the place of Coach Worrilow.
The real problem is not where the kids come from, it's the standards that have been lowered just to keep Sallies relevant in football and a couple of other sports. Sallies can't do it in football anymore with just legacy kids, they now have to get kids from those academic powerhouses like MT and DMA. It's sad, really, that so many Sallies defenders pretend this isn't happening, and again, it's not just football.
Man; you have a serious case of SDS, Sallies Derangement Syndrome.
You're 100% correct and I have the chutzpah to call it out. Tell you what, substitute Howard or DMA for Sallies, and my argument still holds true. Lowering standards, especially academic ones, just to stay relevant in a sport, or sports, is the work of small-minded adults.
Lowering standards, especially academic ones. Who is lowering academic standards?
When did DMA become an academic powerhouse?? Also, Sallies right now is just better than everyone else at playing the "recruiting" game. MT/Smyrna/Appo they are all doing it but Sallies is winning and that is where the kids want to play. Have you seen Sallies facilities vs other HS, no brainer where kids want to play.
I watched car after car leave Brandywine HS 2015 with PA tags, Concord high the same kids from Chester
This is where the worm turned.. New stadium and a new coach with a forward view of thinking.. Kids of all creeds and colors feel welcome to come there now and want to go there.. Funding is no issue. Its that simple.. We have always said if Sallies became something like the MIAA programs or WCAC or St Joes Prep it would be game over.. DE just doesn't have multiple privates at that level.. just one.. Sallies could have done this 10 years ago.. Sallies can actually pursue a National ranking if this continues. ie.. Their Lax and Soccer programs GDD even said as much in a article.. He wants to be able to schedule some National games... That attracts players..as we have seen before with Smyrna and Middletown and before them Red Lion.. Public schools just don't have the funding to sustain it.
To answer your question. Anytime a player transfers there will be people saying they were recruited regardless of knowing nothing or anything about the situation.. Is what is is.. Haters gonna hate.. don't sweat it
Sour grape or sallies dislike is fine to call out, but also as a Sallies supporter which its seems you are to say there is not recruiting happening is silly. Recruiting defined as: Come take a private tour of our school coach led etc. Sallies is not the only one doing this.
"WIll the Sals be bigger and better, sure... However, you only have to beat them once."
What???.. Name a Public School in Delaware that is pulling from another State in 30 mile Radius.. Iam waiting?? Because not happen.. That's why other States is not allowing Private schools and Public Schools play each other for State Championships.. Forgot we in DE.. People lost behind time in Sports.. Prime example.. Ursline recruited Banks and Taylor to play at Ursline.. They both from P.A. Do think Dover would of have a chance.. Hell No because they is out 30 me raduis.. You only get away with that in DE.. 💯 facts..
Missing piont.. And all the States you mentioned. Do not allow Private and Public Schools play against each other in Playoffs either. Think you better Google the facts..smh. Only Delaware allows Private Schools to do that..smh..
“Name a public school in Delaware that pulling from another state”
Banks lives in Wilmington. And only a few states separate public and nonpublic schools into their own state championships, such as Maryland and Texas.
