Did St. Pauls only have 1 D1 commitment? Most public schools have 1 D1 commitment. I would think that half the roster and any major MIAA school would go D1.
Did the SP football team lose by 50 to Loyola who lost to Spalding by 50?
Also that St. Francis show really makes the MIAA schools look petty.
You clearly know nothing about the situation if you actually think that about SFA. Anyone who thinks the MIAA schools are petty for not playing Biff and his paid for East Coast all start team are crazy. Biff wasn’t playing by the rules and just used “racism” as an excuse and to draw attention to his team to feed his ego, and it’s clearly worked.
Gilman and McDonogh weren't innocent. They also share the blame to what lead to what is going on at SFA but that's a story for another board.
They were nowhere near what Biff is doing now at St Frances. At least at Gilman they had academic standards, weren’t holding kids back after they got to hs, and weren’t recruiting up and down the east coast. What SFA is doing now is not comparable in the slightest. Other teams(McD and CH) had to follow suit in order to compete. Trying to blame this on anyone but Biff is comical. The dude is just a narcissist trying to feed his massive ego through high school football. The way he portrays himself as some savior of inner city Baltimore kids is laughable.
Biff was at Gilman for 20 years. Most of the time Gilman didn't even know what he was doing. They were either notIntelligent or complicit. McDonogh joined in on the arms race leading to the 100th game. Neither are saints.
You seriously can’t compare McDonogh and Gilman to what SFA is doing? Mcdonogh/Gilman both have academic standards, weren’t reclassing kids in hs, weren’t utilizing jr/sr transfers, etc. SFA is just IMG with Biff putting on an act as the savior of underprivileged Baltimore. I don’t know who’s saying Gilman and Mcdonogh are “saints” but to say Biff at SFA is not on another level is absurd. It’s the Wild West at SFA. No rules or anything. Gilman was able to keep him in somewhat check, but when he didn’t wanna play by the rules anymore Gilman knew he had to go.
