I’m pretty familiar with long commutes for school, but 60 miles is a pretty extreme distance.

GardenStateBaller Posted October 16, 2023 Author Share Posted October 16, 2023 4 minutes ago, pied said: Thanks for the list, but it brings up some questions. Two of these four teams you listed are under .500 and not one of them are in your top 25 which begs the question of your definition of “elite”. Even with open enrollment I can say with a degree of certainty that Duncanville, De Soto, or North Shore have players commuting 60+ miles, and it would appear these would have to be considered elite. Those teams were elite when said players were matriculating there. Are you confirming that DV, DS and NS currently have football players commuting daily from 60+ miles away?

Bodysurf Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Lol…. I come here thinking that people who saw the MD/Bosco game may be writing about the thread topic. Why must everything end up being about Texas and their lack of marquee wins the past few wins? 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed we did get our asses handed to us. It was a disgrace to to see how the team was unprepared and uninspired. Let’s discuss this on this thread rather than Texas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also - did you attend MD? I don’t know how many players but I know there are players that do. It’s a free world and kids can attend whatever private school they want. Yes, I attended MD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, off the top of my head: Rashan Gary 31 miles from Scotch Plains NJ to PC Minkah Fitzpatrick 32 miles from Old Bridge NJ to SPP Each of these current NFL players CHOSE to commute to the private high schools they attended. TX fans need to realize that not every kid in America grows up wanting to play for his crappy local HSFB team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, showing your sketchy math skills again. 31 and 32 are not NEAR 60. Just making the point that it's normal for students to travel near and far to attend their desired private high schools. PS...in states like CA and NY, it can take up to two hours to travel 30 miles. So it's also about time not so much miles. I live 20 miles from NYC. My commute takes 90 minutes each way.

You were making the point that all elite football programs in the country have players from 60 miles away. I do not think that is accurate nor have you shown it to be yet. I proved to you it happens in my region. And if it happens here, it's happening everywhere, especially in more rural areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodysurf Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 When I went to MD, Santa Margarita and JSerra did not exist and there were lots of kids from south Orange Country that went to MD. It took them well over an hour to get to school every day. There were also kids from LA, Riverside, San Bernardino counties that had a hellish commute every day. And these were mostly just regular students who wanted to get their diploma from MD. It took me 30 min to get to MD every day. My point is that, especially in Cali, it is very common for kids (and not just athletes) to have long commutes to high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aforementioned is rare in Texas because the majority go to their local, town high schools. That is until the pending Voucher Bill is passed!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
