(Monrovia) – Quarterback Jesse Saucedo, who transferred to St. Paul in February, has returned to Monrovia multiple sources confirmed.
Saucedo threw for 1,265 yards and 13 touchdowns with six interceptions last year as a sophomore before suffering an ACL injury late in the Week 4 game against Baldwin Park.
As a freshman Saucedo threw for 2,358 yards and 23 touchdowns with five picks. Saucedo has been rehabbing from the injury and is expected to be completely ready to go.
Is this the online school, on campus football type of situation I’ve heard about since last season? If able to do it, more power to you!
@Alumni look at your HCs resume as well.
@Truth Schurr was D7 last year.
NIL cash is all over the SOCAL region. It is just kept on the down low. Once the kids managers start bragging about how much they are getting for the teens they represent it will start a whole new era for the MID Valley Sports. Ads from parents wanting to sell their athletes.
From Joe T.: We had a conversation one night about what would happen, locally, if a star player at Arroyo was signed to promote Baby Bros Pizza…Could it even be prevented? Or even should it be?
@ Stop the Madness & Coffee Star: The way things are going now, the CIF Southern Section might as well officially announce that it’s operating a transfer portal. The next thing will be NIL payments at the high school level.
The ideal of amateur sports competition at any level is being destroyed. What a travesty.
I was all for NCAA athletes receiving some sort of stipend in return for everything they did for their schools, but during the last several years, a significant number have become de facto professionals. Now high school sports are heading in the same direction.
From Joe T.: I think I asked in one of my earlier columns this year…Can NIL coming to the prep level even be prevented?
I would like to announce that I have returned to 7/11 coffee after transferring to Circle K coffee a short time ago.
I do not want to identify myself in case I decide to switch back to Circle K.
From Joe T.: That’s funny.
Wondering who will
Be the starter for St Paul
From T. Peterson: Looks like Kevin Garcia.
Probably should just transfer over to St. Francis now.
What’s the rule on transfers leaving and coming back?
From T. Peterson: There’s no rule against coming back.
ACLS are very tough injuries to recover from especially for football players. I hope this young man successfully rehabs his injury. He still has his whole life ahead of him.
From T. Peterson: He was throwing for St. Paul a couple of weeks ago at the BP Tournament. He’ll be ok.
St.Paul is a joke .If last coach couldn’t win .You the a guy from Schur will?d11d12 to d5 big difference.
Wow really we going there. At least chow tried to learn the community and school history. Not brought in by a principal his friend. Also look at chows resume and record..
St. Paul brought in a number of QB’s and it got too crowded, SP bleeding kids, heard a few more are waiting till June to bounce.
Does anyone know why he is returning? Or why some of the other transfers are leaving?
From T. Peterson: There were a couple of reasons. Things happen. But he’s back at Monrovia.
You had Chou at the helm.
Bet I know what the top of your hand looks like.
Smh when will Monrovia get better coaches worst head coach in monrovia history……..
