The recruiting IS the big issue here also...
It’s key to his choice of college.
Nathan really never played on very good High school teams in GA. It was himself and one other that was very good but you certainly were not going to compete with the Parkview’s and Brookwoods of the world with 2 good players.
And some of you can stop adding your repeated statements of the "rule is the rule". Its known already, were having to deal with it currently if you had not noticed. And I get your drift as to your personal view on the subject. So be it...
BUT, the issue is should he, having the season and being the player he is, not be allowed to pursue his goals as a senior that includes his senior year in soccer just because he failed a year at a private school 5 years ago.
All local states are governed by the same rules right. Florida a year ago allowed a player who broke his wrist during his senior year, to gain a year of eligibility.
They say he missed several days of school and did not have the credits to graduate either. So he had to make up credits to graduate and was able to play that same year as a 5th year senior.
I think every situation has an equal opportunity if it’s realistic but at least Nathan's deals strictly with academics prior to the soccer.
