If Pogue does indeed transfer to NCH, can't you respect the young man for trying to keep his game and options at a higher level? As long as all is done legitimately, I have never had a fault with moves like this. Undoubtedly, he will get a chance to play across America next year against the best in the country. Playoff time is a joke, of course, but I think the problem there lies with the OHSAA. They should allow schools to play at higher Divisions if they so choose. Would make for an even playing field in the smaller divisions that go up against small Catholic schools or a program like NCH. Remember, LeBron's team won the Division III title his first two years of HS.

It is different, b/c what goes on at Glenville his mostly the inner city kids, that can choose which school they would like to attend and Glenville has the best football program. It is getting a lil worse now, but that is mainly b/c all the kids see it as a nice catapult to the next level.
The fact is with Pogue is that he was on a very good team this year and would be the leader of that team next year. What is the reason for transferring, it is not like he is playing bad competition. If they want to play AAU year round, well why don't they do that, they are taking away from kids at other schools that have their only shot to win a championship that the school has ever had, but they run into a team with 2 NBA caliber players on the team.
