@jbook37 Are they only referring to 7 on 7 ? My kids went thru this in south carolina but when i was raised in Ohio and played HS football back in the 80’s this was not a thing…we were only allowed to weight train

@nutsforthem Some do 7 on 7 others do 10-12 full practices that ends with a showcase game. College coaches from all over travel to watch these kids in spring ball practices which gives them further evaluation.

@jbook37 Spring ball consists of 1 month in Georgia I believe. 2 weeks in florida. I’m not buying that 1 extra month of pads and practice separates kids that much. Don’t think it’s as big of an issue as people make it out to be.

@jbook37 I would love to see spring ball in Ohio

@jbook37 Exactly. They essentially get an extra year of high school football.

@jbook37 OHSAA really needs to allow spring ball

@jbook37 Urban was right to push for spring ball. I hope he tries again.

@jbook37 Amen. Ohio needs to come out of the dark ages.

@jbook37 Gives them additional film and abilities to go watch them in person also

@jbook37 And that’s why Ohio kids aren’t as developed as kids out west and in the south. No spring ball. No 7on7. @OHSAASports give us spring ball!

@jbook37 While true, Ohio still is one of the big talent states in the country but the gains for players statewide would be huge.

@jbook37 Exceptional athletes also want to focus on bball baseball and track. Didn’t Urban once say 90% of his recruits were three sport athletes?

@jbook37 Spring ball is a double-edged sword. I think many Texas/Cali players have been over ranked due to over coaching and exposure. Texas/Cali teams have lofty recruiting rankings, but minimal on field results. Plus population lends recruiting services to target higher populated areas.

@jbook37 Do the kids have to sue the state to get it?

@detroitlarrfba1 Urban also pushed for Ohio to adopt spring ball even went and made speeches to the OHSAA pushing for it.

@jbook37 Ohio kids seem to still do well right?
