Anyone else tired of Regina?

I'm with pine. If a team that plays next to flawless football is turning you off, then what are you looking for? If all you want is a close game, JV girls basketball is always within a few scores (because there are only ever a few scores total).
Well when you are in the Iowa City area and you have NFL players as coaches sometimes it's not too hard to get "transfers".
Tigerpride - list the transfers. Let's see your facts. Who are these transfers? I have been around Regina football for the last 7 years and I haven't seen any of them yet but I may not be looking in the right place.
I person like it when a team is dominate over several years. It helps set the bar higher for the other teams to reach. Just like in a school district where academics are high. If their smart, the other schools in the area also try to reach their high standards. Several years ago St. Albert's, Council Bluffs, was very dominate for a number of years.
Talk about being so far off base that you cannot even see a base (as it pertains to WB).
If you are referring to Giese: it (Regina) was never even a thought.
If you are referring to anybody else, please, by all means, enlighten.
I have no idea who else you could be talking about and I know pretty much everything and everyone inside the WB program for the past 20+ years.
I respect the accomplishments, on paper, of IC Regina. Impressive.
But please don't cast stones my way unless you are willing to come out from behind the glass door you are standing.

I can answer this one for BlameIt.
He (JG) never even considered a transfer to Regina. And there was no "recruitment" involved. We didn't have a yard sign to say we are "currently accepting applications" to try to woo him or anybody else to WB.
Additionally, his family moved to the district. Not to another kid's house, or to a false address, or with a coach (just examples, not making any accusation toward any school in particular)
hmmmm....

Brinkman and Giese are both great kids.
Great students. They both come from great families. Coach Brinkman is a quality person, as are Jake G's parents. They are both going to do big things at the next level: DIVISION ONE level. Both are from schools the size of a peanut and are going to play football at the highest level. Pretty cool.

Just because he didn't present facts doesn't mean there aren't facts. How do you consider OE kids? Recruits? Kids that go to another school and then come back to their original school? Kids that show up from the west side of a city near by? It happens at all schools, by no means does Regina have the market cornered on this area. They actually lose more than they gain through the process. I chuckle at the people who point the finger and say "that's a big part of why they are winning" only to have that shown not to be the case and then it transitions into "well it's the high payed coaches or NFL players as coaches or Hawkeyes as coaches" and on to "well who else can have a full time strength coach"
So far there has been a very limited amount of kids that have shown up late in their career to play at Regina and there hasn't been any all state returnees who 'decide' to move into a school district whether it's a legitimate move, a temporary move, a sham move, a seasonal move etc. you know not to cast aspersions at any particular school. I would imagine that if I wanted to spend some time digging there would be plenty of skeletons at each of the schools that you guys root for. So keep digging, keep looking for that one transfer, that one kid from southern Iowa, that fake family address, that is making the difference in this process.

OK, so we have come to the conclusion that Regina does not recruit anyone. However, are they picky at who gets in? Meaning, they would not want many non-athletes coming in so it doesn't bump them up a class or 2. Any substance to that thought?
perhaps you should ask any one of the people you are implicating here. I am quite certain they would lie to you and say they offered him a scholarship if he plays at WB.
Oh wait.
While you're at it, give Coach Donovan at Pekin (Packwood) a call. I am sure he'd have some choice words for you.
WB couldn't even get the Activities Director's kid to go to school in WB. He is a state track champion in the sprints, and a 1600 yd pass and 900 yard rush guy for a team a 2A playoff team.
That's how well WB recruits.

This thread continues to entertain. Now we have Regina not allowing non athletes into school to keep their BEDS down? As far as
calling Donovan I will see what he has to say in a month or so. I am sure it won't change from when we have talked in the past. As far as not being able to get all the recruits it does happen, sometimes you get stud running backs, wrestlers who flip schools a couple of times.

Idk how you can say they dont recruit if regina is even close to good next year they defiantly recruited NFV JV absolutely smashed ICR so if that says anything idk what does
And what exactly have they 'done'? You know with proof and stuff like that. If you are going to hang your hat on a Pekin transfer or 1-2 others that isn't really a whole lot. Perhaps even less than what goes on at other area schools where kids just 'show up' without any other conversations occurring.
Pile, I think you will find that there were some extenuating circumstances that occurred in that game. I don't know how good Regina will be next year but they will be good. I would also be surprised if you see a bunch of new players that haven't been on the rosters since 7th grade.
I wouldn't have a roster from that class, my sons have been above this grade and the next one is behind it by a couple of years.
It just sounds like excuses and I don't like to do that. NFV hammered the Regal JV. Similar to how Williamsburg hammered them 2 years ago and then got hammered this year. Situations change.
Dropping classes helps wonders. You get used to playing at a big level and when you drop the number of quality opponents disappears. I can easily imagine Regina wanting nothing more than to beat Solon, then they worked so that they could compete with Solon, then dropped a class. You could easily say the run started sooner, but the heart of it came as being one of the biggest schools in the class.
Very true, their biggest issue every year is how to deal with all the kids who have been in the system since elementary school and then get replaced going into their junior and senior year. I think they have had to give out several new cars to the parents so they won't complain about their kid being replaced.
