Rumors from Parents say the McCormick kid is staying at Elgin, doesn't want to sit 5 games, as for Simms he moved out of State after football last year. They have a kid from Detroit that moved in last year last name Ayers that is supposed to be the real deal this year. Plus was told that Booker will be getting a lot of touches in the back field.

hopefully he is the real deal then, problem last year was no run game hardly besides ladd couple good games. Booker did well in his limited carries. he will be good second option this year. like seeing him in space better tho. a lot of unknowns so far but slater sounds really amped for this team. Also said no freshman will play, wants to keep them together.

Makes me wish Jordan McCormick didn't transfer out to Elgin after being in Harding Youth and Middle school programs. Coached him for 2 seasons, old school type back who pounds people on contact. Also, would the new coach willingly allow incoming freshman Scott (LJ's cousin) play right away. If he has recovered from his injury. When you say transfer out, do you mean he is open-enrolled to Elgin or did he move? |

That's what I was thinking was the case. The Elgin school district comes over into the west side of Marion.

Also said no freshman will play, wants to keep them together. I will say this about the future freshman team, if they don't win the conference during their varsity years, I will be shocked. Coached them in their 5th and 6th grade years, crazy talented and close as a team always hanging out with each other. |

So, is he transferring or open enrolling somewhere to get a better educational opportunity than he can at Ontario?  |

Bigger schools also means bigger kids falling on those legs. |

Too bad fathers don't always do what their kids want.
If the new transfer rule is passed in May he can play in the first 5 games next year, but has to sit out the last 5 and any playoff games.
If you want to believe what average joe says. His dad and the Senior High head coach have been talking about doing this for 2 years. Lucky for them that Ontario wouldn't pursue the illegalities.

Actually, since he will transfer before the new transfer rule is in effect (if it passes), he will miss the first 5 games, but be eligible the rest of the year. With the offensive line that the Tygers will have for the next 2 years, I think he will be okay.

So he will enroll at Mansfield Senior in the next 2 months of this school year is what you are saying. |

He has already filled out transfer paperwork. Will start Mar 12 at the beginning of the 4th Q. Dad didn't make the call. Cam did!

SO, to get around the new transfer rule there will be A LOT of transfers before this school year is over. The petitioners of the new rule might have to make an amendment before the vote. |

I have never supported kids jumping schools for sports but understand why it happens. In this case, if the kid does have a future after high school, he could benefit from playing in the OCC school schedule over Ontario's. |

Assuming that Lex doesn't suck again and Stover isn't sitting out the remainder of the season to save himself for basketball again(I mean injured) like he did this season. |

So a kid that had his ankle reconstructed is going to benefit from getting hit harder. Sure, I see the logic in that. I look at this more as a kid fleeing from a dysfunctional program than a kid trying to step up his level of competition. |

I look at this more as a kid fleeing from a dysfunctional program than a kid trying to step up his level of competition. Stop being negative for a brief moment. Is it possible the Mansfield O-line is better, or the offense is different. Do you assume every team will have their QB get hit and need his ankle reconstructed? If you see it as a kid fleeing do you not blame him if that program is dysfunctional? The kid is a multisport athlete and is leaving for a reason. What motivates you and I does not matter to this kid. And he wants to play better football. He already gave 2 years to bad football. |

If you're the starting qb you are going to get hit so that's a ridiculous statement right there. I don't blame the kid for leaving but I think we both realize that if Ontario was 8-2 and playoff bound last season rather than 2-8 with an absolute dumpster fire full of drama that he's not transferring to "upgrade his level of competition". |

No he just supports any opportunity he has to make himself feel better about his OCC by taking shots at other area conferences(the MOAC in particular). |
