I really hope I eat crow on this, but it was very amusing to watch people rave about the skills and potential of some kid from Germany who never played HS varsity. Not like just not a starter (also bad), but not even on the varsity squad!

You guys realize he wasn't allowed to play varsity transferring from overseas, right? It was against the rules. It wasn't that he wasn't good enough.

Yea, but still. (No, hadn't seen that part. Situation is still funny, regardless.)

Definitely funny. Had there been a 2020 season he would have played Varsity and it wouldn't be quite so odd. As it is he's probably one of my top 7 or 8 favorite prospects in the class. Take that how you will.

I just saw in another thread that Sonics1993 came to Centralia HS from Germany, played one year there and won a state title.
There are multiple appeals as well. CIF can be on the reject side but the international transfer rule appears to exist to prevent things like a basketball coach who pops by Serbia or Lithuania and brings back some kid who has been a pro since he was 13 years old to live with him.
Meanwhile, Darius Clemons wanted to play pandemic football this fall so he went to Utah. I think he’s back in Portland now. Sounds like Utah cares about football.

I forget the reasoning behind it but 'twas explained here during Hines' recruitment.
BTW I wonder if @sonics1993 is actually Blake Snell.

I was at that game where Detlef won a state title. With my long-lost buddy Bruce Laracuente from Queens

I know that you’re right, but I’m curious which reason didn’t allow him to not play varsity, bottom of page 12 and top of page 13: https://d2o2figo6ddd0g.cloudfront.net/j/b/w20aftlromzdyz/State_CIF_Parent_Handbook__I_Understanding_Transfer_Elgibili_August_2019_.pdf
