So who is going to QB the Monarchs and the Braves next season? There have to be some promising freshmen at each school who can be groomed to take the helm for the next few years. Or are each of these schools still shopping around for a 4-star transfer? this seems to be your theme every other day. The act is old and tired. |

This is clearly the most interesting question in SoCal HSFB talk. We have Bosco and Mater Dei insiders here on this board; just looking for some insight. |

We have Bosco and Mater Dei insiders here on this board; just looking for some insight. I think we are all curious as the QBs for MD and Bosco next year are the biggest unknowns at this point. Plus these are the 2 highest profile positions in SoCal high school football. I am not an insider so I have no answers. What I presume at this point is that there is nothing but rumors and speculation. If anything was confirmed by the transfer himself or the school it would be public knowledge. Until we see this I take everything with a grain of salt and skepticism. Unless we are told otherwise, next year's QBs are current players (or incoming Freshman). Having said that, I would expect MD to get a transfer QB but I could very well be wrong. Who it is I have no clue as there were several names thrown around with the rumors. |

Or are each of these schools still shopping around for a 4-star transfer?" I know what you're really going for. It was funny the first couple of times. I chuckled |

The better angle, perspective, question would be why don’t they groom, wait for that incoming freshman...? Answer, likely, the need to win now is far too important.

they tried it with Malachi Nelson but changed his mind because he wasnt sure about playing time. It was a great decision by him since he's getting big offers, but in the bigger picture, he made a mistake. He should have went to Bosco like he planned to, sit behind DJ, and start his last 3 years. Instead, he'll take unnecessary punishment at Los Al if he chooses to stay.

When you have five or six consecutive years of Re-al Mitchell and D.J. Uiagalelei, or J.T. Daniels and Bryce Young, at quarterback for your program, you don't get a lot of groom-able freshman enrolling at your school. Everyone wants to start as a sophomore, and if there are superstars ahead of them, they either don't enroll or transfer out. |

I chuckled who was practically salivating with glee at the transfer news just a week ago: So with all due respect (and I do respect that you are not merely a Bosco homer) you can't now feign offense at a genuine HSFB transfer question. You say my "act" is "old and tired" but it's no more older and tired than the Mater Dei and Bosco practice of "re-loading" by bringing in 4-star out-of-the-area upperclassmen. As long as that continues there's going to be eyebrows raised; that just comes with the territory. If you guys don't know the answer, no big deal. |

I was speaking of a kid that MD was picking up. How much salivating could I really do? I think its great Raleek Brown is transferring to MD. It gives me hope he's now possibly interested in USC. I actually don't dislike the transfer game like most. Now of course your comeback will be "but its because your program benefits from the transfer game." I dont take this high school thing as serious as some of you. I didnt go to Bosco. I am a Bosco fan because I had a kid/family/friends that go/went to Bosco and played football. I am friends with many parents who's kids go/went to Bosco. I am friends with coaches.But i also dont pretend what Bosco does isnt giving them an advantage. I actually chuckle at how they reload with another batch of kids who will go on to be high school stars. And you're right, I'm not a typical Homer. I do my best to be the opposite because i hate Homerism. The transfer game in high school is like the college recruiting game. Its interesting to me. I look forward to it. I take ZERO offense to anyone that likes to criticize what Bosco does. BUT, when the majority of your posts recycles the same tone about a certain aspect about the game that irks you, it just gets tiresome. Your posts always seems to have a dig at what Bosco and MD does. So don't pretend it doesn't. That's all. |

Instead, he'll take unnecessary punishment at Los Al if he chooses to stay. A mistake because he will take unnecessary punishment like... all the other Los Al QBs the past 4 years? Maybe he was looking for a "normal" high school experience with girls. Or maybe he thought it would be more fun playing football with his friends instead of competing for a mythical national championship? Or maybe the thought of being indoctrinated into catholicism for 4 years, when he's not a catholic, felt a little hypocritical on second thought. Who knows, it might be even a little challenging throwing to guys who aren't head and shoulders better than the DB's trying to guard them... Kinda like it will be at the next level. When you consider he's already been offered by 2 of the 4 national playoff teams, and will more than likely get offered by the rest, and can go wherever he wants, I'm having a hard time understanding how you could be so confident that he made a mistake not enrolling at Bosco? |

I actually said it was a great decision by him because he ended up getting some monster offers, ones he wouldnt have seen until he played his sophomore year. But when i referred to as a mistake, I'm just thinking about his well being. He's a skinny kid who takes a huge pounding on that team. I'd like to see him stay healthy in high school and get the least amount of mileage on him before he goes to college. Its like Bryce Young. Not sure if you saw him at Cathedral prior to MD, he was absolutely getting killed out there because his line wasnt capable of protecting him very well. He made a great decision to go to MD, not because of the offers he was getting (because he would have received those same offers had he stayed) but because he was able to play with better talent that could protect him better. All I'm saying is why risk unnecessary punishment? Example: If I'm one of those 3 very good MD running backs they have for next season, I'm thrilled to not have to take a full load every game and carry the ball 30+ times each game. Keep the body healthy is what I'm aiming at. My comments weren't about being salty he left Bosco. |

I didn't think you're being salty about him leaving. I just think you're wrong.
He's bigger and thicker, than all 3 of the QB's that preceded him at LA. Don't recall any of them taking a pounding, and he didn't absorb many hits last year in his time playing either.
Just wondering where you got the idea QBs at Los Al take a greater than usual amount of pounding.

Kupprunneth, Fair enough. But seriously, isn't there a kid named Clarkson who is supposed to be the next big thing at Bosco?
MDDad, our people here at Servite seem to think the current frosh QB at Mater Dei is very talented. As you say, the top kids want to play as sophomores. With Bryce departed, wouldn't the time be ripe for a freshman to step up and play the next three years?
