@ezriderwagers @johnewing Ya, every single book said SJ was their biggest liability tonight...plus all the ML parlays stay open. John, how is this true?!

@johnewing I don’t think that’s true lol

Duke wins but St. John’s covers is the best outcome for the sportsbook

@YeetPlays23 @mwhiteburgh Simple question - Why not?

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh They are a small 2a school sure yes, but athletically they have kids from overseas who were in touch with a billionaire who most likely helped them come to America which is great for the kids don’t get me wrong but my point is that no old forge can’t do what sewickly is doing

Check this out from Bob Greenburg. Superintendent of school that lost to Sewickley Academy in state championship game sends letter to PIAA about Sewickley and private schools.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Again that’s public perception which I don’t care about.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh town congratulated him. He “knew they’d come calling but we’re good sports about it”. Imagine that in a public school scenario nearby his former. People would be watching to see if he got off a bus. It would be rumors everywhere. At his Catholic school? He’s just another star.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Different states have different rules.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh said all 3. Another said football & baseball because “lifting & 7on7 starts the day after we win the state championship”. He got a scholarship for “first gen American parents” (they’re 3rd gen). He picked the famous one with a big alumni network. Public school coach in his

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Ok. Well that’s far from where you began. Godspeed

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh YES! Transfer anywhere for any reason. If the new school wants you, great. If the new coach invites you, even better. But as it stands now, to do it at a public school requires a physical move to some new place and even with that enormous disruption, risk of losing a season.

@CapperSync Sharp sheets Friday kind sir?!

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Right but the rules are the same across the board - private or public.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh Good grief, not all of them are seniors critical to a run at Hershey. Sitting out the playoffs at PCC as a junior is completely different than risking losing an entire year at PR.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Now you’re getting it. Yet,,,only the private schools get letters sent about them.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh using his cousin’s address.”

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Wait now you’re saying kids can transfer for any reason?! You’re leaning toward my entire point here haha

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh An African playing for Kennedy Christian, SA, or Montour is a more equitable situation than a QB stuck in Moniteau getting investigated & losing one minute of eligibility for moving to Hickory or NA. It is nobody’s business why any of these kids transfer except their parents’.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Name calling. Cute. That part I get - but my OP was simply about the foreign kids. Those guys are allowed to choose wherever they’d like.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh They aren’t the same. There is no address requirement for Catholic schools you stupid ass.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh Ask yourself why TJ and Quips and Pine dominate every year. Something in the water there?! NO! Kids want to play there so they do. Bball players want to play at Sewickley so they do. No one wants to play for old forge - but they sure can if they’d like

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh Meh.. what are we gonna do? We all know he went there for football, but what can we say—let’s see your transcripts? Fingerprints? Open your phone so we can see your texts? Of course not. Catholic school do whatever the F they want.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh You’re digressing into public perception. Who gaf. This convo is about the rules, and you don’t understand how they’re exactly the same.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh How do you not get this?! The qb who goes to Seneca is subject to the same exact rules. If it’s after sophomore year begins, he’s ineligible for post season, same as at PCC. If the school he lefts flags it for athletic intent, he’s subject to hearings…at every school.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh The issue is if a great QB from Riverside shows up at Seneca, & Seneca is good, NA & PCC parents will want to know when he moved. DID he move? Let’s follow him home from school. Opposing coaches will ask around. Hear a rumor & boom—call the WPIAL. Same kid shows up at PCC? 1/

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh You couldn’t be more wrong. Same exact transfer rules apply to every school.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh Not failing to realize anything. Sow would’ve been ineligible if he wasn’t a freshman when he transferred. Unless he went to Central-He could transfer at half in a playoff game his sr yr & the PIAA would be ok. If it was to a Philly team they’d stop the game & give him a medal.

@LuptakSteve @mwhiteburgh What you’re failing to realize is that old forge could do the same thing. Same rules across the board.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh I’m fine with foreign 6-8 players. Good to them. I’m not fine with the PIAA having any say in eligibility when Catholic schools do whatever they want.

@YeetPlays23 @mwhiteburgh Bro Sewickley is also a “small 2A school” and they’re doing it. Old forge is more than welcome to do the same thing - my original point.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh Sure I guess but in a sense no because no Bcs it’s near impossible for a small 2a school to bring in a kid like that, I mean how can u convince a kid like that to come play for you when there is a team willing to pay for everything he needs.

@YeetPlays23 @mwhiteburgh The *school doesn’t have the money to do anything you think they do. A donor may, but that’s school-agnostic. An old forge donor can do the same.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh Yea but the private school has the money to bring kids from Africa over public school just can’t do that.

@YeetPlays23 @mwhiteburgh Oh and Money?! Money isn't even needed by the public school.

@MikeyMo79 @mwhiteburgh This is the worst take I’ve ever heard, being a rich billionaire funded private school bringing a kid over from Africa is sooo difffent then being a little gov funded public school. It’s damn near Impossible to do that as a public school Bcs of like the “recruiting”laws and money

@BurghBallBoss23 @mwhiteburgh But again, to my point, SA plays by the same rules as old forge does. Only difference is the kid needs to live a bit closer to the school.

@BurghBallBoss23 @mwhiteburgh There’s no rule that the player/family has to pay the tuition. Anyone (or no one) can.
