Hunter Kingston transferred there in summer 2025, he may have transferred out since but yes, there have been 28 incoming ones in the 2025-2026 and 2026-2027 school year according to the CIF-ss website
My point is that we dont have 28 Transfers dude. I know the roster inside and out. You are just some dude living in his moms basement.😂😂😂

Powerful, rangy athlete who makes the big play when a big play is needed. Will be a great signing for whoever gets him
Great team win to close out non-league play, 30–24 over La Serna. 🏈 Grateful to contribute on both sides of the ball with 9 tackles, a forced fumble and recovery, along with 7 receptions for 129 yards and a TD. Proud of the way we battled through a close one and found a way to finish. Great way to finish non-league! @LA__WCP @Tarek_Fattal @TeranRodriguez1 @CDMFOOTBALL @Khettoc @jfrizz84 @BlairAngulo @sixstarfootball @GregBiggins @PGregorian @NFHSNetwork @AlexJNaveja @ethan_garbers3 @silasbravo_ @jgrnauttraining @JPWestMedia @OCSportsZone @CJacksonWCP @BrandonHuffman @BlairAngulo

Great advice here for long term development. Parents of younger (junior high and below) should really take heed of this information…
The rep that changed the whole workout happened on a Thursday afternoon. Sophomore quarterback. Good arm. Clean mechanics in warmups. Then we put him in a reaction drill with a basketball player and a shortstop rotating in. Same concept, same throw, same coverage shell. The multisport kid saw the window before it opened. The year round quarterback saw it right when it was closing. That is the part most people still get wrong. They think processing is this mysterious gift some quarterbacks are born with. I do not buy that for a second. I think a lot of what people call instincts is just a brain that got exposed to more chaos, more movement problems, and more decisions earlier. And I think we are sabotaging young quarterbacks when we lock them into one sport too early. Chaos is the point Quarterback is not a mechanics contest. It is not a whiteboard contest either. It is a chaos sorting job. You have to pick up leverage, speed, rotation, space, timing, and threat all at once. Then your body has to organize the answer before your conscious brain can sit down and hold a meeting about it. That is why I care so much about what a kid did before he ever got serious about quarterback training. Did he play shortstop and have to read hops, angles, and runners in one glance? Did she play point guard and learn to feel two defenders while tracking spacing on the weak side? Did he play soccer and solve pressure with his eyes before his feet touched the ball? Those environments matter because they force the brain to process changing information in real time. A 2025 paper from the ABCD Study looked at nearly ten thousand kids and found that children in open skill sports performed better on executive function tasks than kids in closed skill sports and kids who did not play sports. Not better in some vague motivational sense. Better in the exact kind of control system that lets you filter noise, hold information, and make fast decisions when the picture changes. That fits what I see in the clinic and on the field. The multisport quarterback is usually harder to fool. He may not know more football yet, but he is more comfortable inside uncertainty. That matters. Specificity still wins Now here is the nuance. Playing multiple sports does not magically make you a great quarterback. You still have to train quarterback specific anticipation. You still need reps against real coverage pictures. You still need the timing, the footwork, the visual rhythm, and the pattern library that only football can build. A 2025 three level meta analysis on action anticipation found that experts had a huge anticipation advantage with a Hedges g of 1.15. That is a real gap. But here is the important part. That advantage did not just float from one sport to another. It was domain specific. That means broad athletic development gives you better hardware for processing chaos. Football still writes the software. That is the model I believe in. Early on, build a broad brain. Later, make it brutally specific. So if you are a young quarterback, I do not want you living in a private lesson bubble for eleven months a year, throwing on air, looking polished, and slowly becoming less adaptable. I would rather see you compete in environments that stretch your visual system, your timing, your balance, your reaction patterns, and your emotional control. Then when it is time to really train quarterback play, you have more cognitive bandwidth to work with. Train the eyes the way you train the arm This is also why I think a lot of quarterback development still undershoots the real problem. We obsess over release, stride, and torque, then treat vision and decision making like they are just supposed to show up on game day. That is lazy. A 2025 meta analysis on visual training found significant improvement in decision making response time and sport specific performance across twenty seven studies. That matters because it confirms something coaches have felt forever but could not always prove. The visual side of performance is trainable when you train it on purpose. Not with random brain games. Not with generic apps that have nothing to do with the sport. With relevant visual work. Real cues. Real timing pressure. Real decisions. That is the line people miss. General athletic exposure helps build the engine. Sport specific visual training sharpens the reads. You need both. If all a young quarterback does is quarterback lessons, he may get mechanically cleaner while his adaptive problem solving lags behind. If all he does is play random sports with no quarterback specific development, he may become a great athlete with an average football brain. The sweet spot is the blend. Broad movement and decision exposure early. Quarterback specific pattern recognition layered on top. Then repeat that process long enough that the game starts to slow down. My take I think early specialization is one of the most overrated ideas in youth quarterback development. It creates pretty movers. It does not always create fast processors. The best young quarterbacks are usually not the kids who have spent the most hours pretending to be quarterbacks. They are the kids whose brains have been forced to solve the most different movement problems, then taught how to apply that skill to football. So when a parent asks me whether their middle school quarterback should quit basketball or baseball to focus only on private QB work, my answer is usually no. Do not shrink the environment too early. Do not confuse repetition with development. Do not mistake polish for processing. I want the kid who can read a trap in basketball, a bad hop at shortstop, and a safety rotation before the snap. That brain is already learning the language of quarterback play. Then we can coach the details. That is the future of quarterback development in my opinion. Less obsession with looking like a quarterback in February. More obsession with building a nervous system that can solve football in November. The arm gets the attention. The brain gets the scholarship.

Year round single sport specialization benefits the adults who can make money off of it at the expense of the child’s development.
Replying to @JJWatt
But all of these "high level" teams are now requiring year round participation, or the cost of playing the sport is too high to do anything else. At the same time, rec leagues are dying I do completely agree with you tho, I see it daily. Those generalist are healthier and better
