There are very few bad things I can say about the purple wizard. Losing to aggy in that b12ccg might be at the top of that list.Â
August 20, 20196 yr Probably in the minority, but think I'm on Demas's side here. Seems like he's trying to get out of a bad situation, can't really blame him for that.Â

August 20, 20196 yr I'm on the side that the facts don't matter and that John Sharp and Tony Buzbee have already greased the right palms to make sure this goes the way they want it to.

August 20, 20196 yr I am confused. If he is trying to get out of bad situation why does a trainer need to be involved?Â

Or, if he sits out, he would one year less of conditioning and training.
August 20, 20196 yr If he's ruled ineligible get ready for the "It's tu's fault! Look where the UIL headquarters are, in Austin! No doubt Peewee had a say in this!"

August 20, 20196 yr Just now, Machinator said: Â FWK thought he had it all figured out. Too bad for the kid but he'll be just fine, he's still going to have the opportunity to better his life since that is his goal.
August 20, 20196 yr Getting out of a bad situation was the most important thing right? Now he can concentrate on his studies.

August 20, 20196 yr Not exactly happy about this other than the fact that FWK's transparent charade was noticed (North Forest is 28 miles through Houston traffic - about 45 minutes - from Footwork King's place; Tomball proper is <10 miles and 12-15 minutes, the high school is a hair further). IMG makes sense for him now as they'll probably cover everything simply for exposure and PR being the good guys in this situation. Then he can come back to Texas to attend A&M next year close to home. Win-win-win, imo.

Even if the kid doesn't play a down this year, it really shouldn't matter in the grand scheme of things. He is a stud.Â

IMG is not as attractive for certain kids since they were caught and now on the radar for test scores but aggie could have already taken care of that while down the street at Tomball.
August 20, 20196 yr Should probably just stay and train with FWK and buckle down and try and graduate early, move on.
August 20, 20196 yr Doesn’t Demas still have to play school this year and now at Tomball rather than North Forest?  Seems like he got the wrong end of his gamble.  Wonder which Aggie bag hag told him this would work and convinced him to follow through??
August 20, 20196 yr On the one hand, I think high school and college players should have more freedom to go where they want and make decisions that are in their best interest, which improve their lives. On the other hand, the prospect of him going to IMG and further exposing his recruitment up to the nefarious recruiting tactics of aggy's SEC brothers is also very appealing. This is a moral conundrum, I tell ya what. Â
August 20, 20196 yr Now that the meeting is over, what's with that shiny new F-250 at Hyde Park Baptist?

Hunter Dunn is one of FWK's clients - and a move to Tomball is beneficial to both the Dunn's and FWK.  Dunn is looking for offers - and a big Senior season might have gotten him some phone calls.

August 20, 20196 yr I knew it was our fault.  Spoiler Jason Howell 12:18p Staff Really hate this for Demas. As someone who sees transfers in major metro areas every year to programs big and small, this one is a punch to the stomach. Demas will be fine, but the system failed. As Ryan stated earlier, he's being penalized for being good at football, nevermind he's in a better place beyond the field.    Ryan Brauninger 12:19p Staff Absolutely absurd. It's criminal what has been done  Average Joe 12:09p AG Absolute trash, but what do you expect from an organization ran by t-sips.  TwoTimeAg 12:09p AG Always remember...the UIL is a branch of the University of Texas. And Texas is lone remaining state where this structure still exists.  Â

Proper verb conjugation, dumbass. edit to add: Further, I'll say that transferring to a school to get out of a "bad situation" is fine. I don't know that I care much about such a student's loss of football eligibility. He does draw attention because he's a stellar, but that's why the eligibility rules were created in the first place. Schools were recruiting from other schools to improve their teams. I can see eyebrows going up when Tomball gets such a difference-making person. I trust the process in this case.
