IMG Academy

St. Thomas can't touch these guys, they recruit nationally and have cough cough cough Angel donor tuition assistance.

This. IMG Academy is known all over the world, not just in Florida but all over the world, for producing athletes in a number of different sports. We're talking a whole other level of preparation here.

It's a sports academy first, and a high school second. If they get their football program up and rolling, I fully expect them to be among the most dominant and to produce the most D1-ready players of...really...anywhere.

The only thing that sucks is that it's in tampa and not Miami. We gotta plant our flag there soon and keep it planted there.

Well they had to be doing something. Mostly no one on this board heard of st Louis until yesterday. They been doing some serious scouting all over Florida.

Glad it is in Tampa. Sure, more neutral territory means we won't be THE dominant program. However, hopefully the stronger structure of the academy will keep out people like Drummond and Tunsil.

There won't be any Drummonds or Tunsils at a place like this. This place is probably above most D1 programs as far as preparing athletes to be athletes.

PROFESSIONALS run this place, not hacks and two bit "mentors."

These kids will probably live on campus, dormitory style, and live, breathe, and eat football.

IMG produces professional soccer, tennis, golf, and Olympic athletes. They don't ***** around.

Old man cane - you are correct on a lot of the info. We also have the US soccer under 17 national team on campus. Plus a pretty significant nfl combine training program among many other things

I have nothing but the highest respect for IMG and what you guys do to prepare athletes. If I had a kid who was a promising young athlete, IMG would be number one on my list of places to send him/her to realize their full potential.

Maybe this board didn't know about him, but looking at his offer list, the big schools sure did. He's been recruited like a 4-star, don't give the ratings mailmen much credence.

Isn't Nick Bolletieri (sp?) the tennis guru a major guy in the admin. over there? I seem to remember him being a Cane. Game over. Pipeline built.

 

[DHucks]

My wife and I are currently planning on sending our son there. We get stuff in the mail, and emails from them as well (anybody can).Trying to figure out if we want to move to Bradenton or send him off. I personally want to move to Florida. He's 8, so we have a ways to go. Carter is a track, baseball, and football kid, and is quickly picking up basketball. He does very well in the classroom too.

Place ain't cheap either, but it's an investment. Over 90 percent of these kids go to college from IMG.

And yes, Nic I believe was one of the creators not just an admin.

Am I the only one completely against this? I mean people complain about football factories on the college level so why is this acceptable at the HS level?

From everything I've heard about this it is basically a pro team in HS. Academics is second completely. They are there to play sports. I guess I don't have much of a problem with it at the college level because everybody knows what a facade 'student-athlete's' are but for HS its a bit much.

 

[Gatorhater]

Guys I work at IMG, wait a year and half and the campus will be even more ridiculous!

Hey, remind that head coach he was from Walsh's HS and had no business ever being a criminole.

Aren't you a gator? Sounds a little funny coming from anyone remotely connected to s$c. At least you admit it for a college level--how could s$c type do otherwise. For me it depends, if it turns into criminole or swamp scum pipeline then burn it down and salt the earth. But if we get fair shot at the kids(Bo was tempted a little) then it is ok. I would think they cannot ignore the classroom completely or too many of their players will not qualify and the s$c can only take so many brain dead PED freaks before it goes the way SMU and the old Southwest Conference.

 

[Canez1]

Doesn't Coach Sol work there or volunteer?

You are the same guy that was ripping everyone in another thread for talking bad about Genron. I believe you were actually encouraging us to quit talking behind his back and go to his school and fight him. You realize that Drummond and Genron are the same person, correct? And you do realize that referring to him as a "hack" and a "two-bit mentor" on a message board is technically talking behind his back? Pot, meet kettle. Just saying...

From my understanding they aren't even classified in any division to play. And I'm not sure about their academics because to my knowledge that hasn't been released yet. So for all we know they could just be printing degrees.

The whole reason the school costs $70k is because they have professional coaches and train them year round. It's like they're training their next thoroughbreds. There's just something sick about the whole thing.

Let's not forget, most of those kid will be pretty much in their peak after being there for 4 years, they won't have much upside, that's risky.
I would stay away from the kids who'll go there for all their highschool years.
