This again?
What the Spartacus?
Who "commits" to a public high school? Either he lives in Bloomfield and is going to Bloomfield HS, or they're recruiting him, and using someone else's address as a place of residence.
Everyone knew Bloomfield cheated when Cochran was there, but making it this obvious is stupid.
If they live in Bloomfield now, they rent, because nobody with the last name Bryden owns property in Bloomfield.
Pretty small for a QB....think this kid is destined for FCS or a position change.
#'s 2 and 4 don't apply, I know where they live, but won't share it here. It is public information if you know where to look. #1 is unlikely and maybe unnecessary. #3 I think is an urban myth, i was unable to find any evidence of that law/regulation but if you have it, please share.This is ridiculous in the sense that he thinks people care so much that he has to announce where he is going to high school. He is in a world clearly where people have told him that he is so important and so good that he should announce his decisions on social media because everyone is clearly on the edge of their seat waiting to know. I'm rather surprised he didn't have a pick a hat signing day for this. But to your points there are some answers here for why he is choosing. 1) His dad is known to be over the top and may be choosing to move the family to Bloomfield over the summer. 2) He may live on the town line and be one of the kids who gets to choose. or 3) You can send your kid to any public school you choose if you pay the taxpayers fee. (I believe its generally around 10-15 grand a year). or 4) He actually lives in Bloomfield is totally lost in his own ego and is really announcing that he is attending the HS in the town that he lives in, which in this case lord help the kid when he eventually gets a fresh dose of reality. I do doubt though that this is some kind of scandal waiting to happen with a kid that is at a fake address. I think they might have warned him by now not to bring any attention to it.
I do know that there was a kid awho grew up around the block from me in Port Chester that went to Greenwich HS and played football there for 4 years. When Albonizio was coach at GHS it wasn't uncommon for Port Chester kids to go to Greenwich HS and pay tuition....and oh yeah play football too.#'s 2 and 4 don't apply, I know where they live, but won't share it here.

they must have used the Open Choice program:
SDE: Open Choice Program Questions and Answers
I actually don't think his dad is that over the top. He loves the sport and wasn't allowed to play. that's terrible for anyone. Unless someone here knows him/them personally, we don't know the extent to which this kid is doing what he loves vs. being pushed by his dad.
Announcing a commitment to a public HS? I agree. absolutely ridiculous.
also as a side note, I don't remember who said no one with that name lives in bloomfield, be more close minded for me will ya? as with most cities/ towns that border major cities there are nice sections and not so nice sections with a mixed population, income, education, ethnicity etc. so next time you have a thought and wanna post it here, let it go.

Residency Verification - Greenwich Public Schools
Answer: Only children who reside in Greenwich can attend Greenwich Schools
- 1. If I live in another town /city, can my child(ren) attend Greenwich Schools?
Answer: Yes, but only for full time employees of the Town of Greenwich, if there is available room at the requested school.
- 2. Does Greenwich accept Tuition Students?
I agree 100%.School districts police residency requirements much more carefully today than they used to. It's possible FDNY's neighbors simply lied about where they were living. That used to be a not infrequent occurrence.
"B--- that phrase don't make no sense why can't fruit be compared?"Sort of a pineapple to avacado comparison.
I doubt he lied about his residency...he drove a car to school that had NY plates...how he was able to go there I have no idea...I do know that Coach Al lives near Port Chester HS (he was the HC at Port Chester before going to Greenwich...and came in 2nd for the PC job after he left Greenwich, only because his plan was to coach a few years and hand it over to the guy who actually ended up with the job) and used to frequent PC youth football. How he got kids to go to Greenwich HS I have no clue....I have been told that there was always a tuition trail.I agree 100%.
I'm not saying there weren't kids from Port Chester on those teams, I don't doubt him at all. It's the "tuition" part that I doubt. Maybe those kids had/have parents that worked for the town, but it's not something that just anyone can do if they want to.
Or, like you said, maybe they just lied about their residency; which is much more likely IMO.
Greenwich hasn't been that good since the Port Chester kids stopped going there. This 100% happened under AlbonizioI doubt he lied about his residency...he drove a car to school that had NY plates...how he was able to go there I have no idea...I do know that Coach Al lives near Port Chester HS (he was the HC at Port Chester before going to Greenwich...and came in 2nd for the PC job after he left Greenwich, only because his plan was to coach a few years and hand it over to the guy who actually ended up with the job) and used to frequent PC youth football.

Ironically...PC has seen a uptick in on field success under Santavicca in the same time period.Greenwich hasn't been that good since the Port Chester kids stopped going there. This 100% happened under Albonizio
Don't know if you follow recruiting at all but by the time kids are in high school to be QB they should be a bit taller to be on the radar.He's 5-8 and hasn't hit high school yet.

LMFAO...Medic of all the posters on here someone tells you that you need to brush up on your recruiting...LMFAO!!LOL - Thanks for the education.
... he's also NOT in high school yet and based on his parent's height, there's a good chance he's not done growing.
He's clearly on people's/school's radar. Whether he pans out in the end is the same as anyone @ this point in time. No guarantees either way.
Could your reading comprehension be any worse?
Next time you want to take someone to task for being close minded, make sure you actually understand what it is they wrote first.

it could be way worse, dont be mad cuz I saw through your veiled racism.
you couldnt just let me have that one lol... more likely he just checked the Town of Bloomfield Assessor Property Records as it was germane to the discussion @ hand: Town of Bloomfield Assessor's Office
What a fcking genius.... more likely he just checked the Town of Bloomfield Assessor Property Records as it was germane to the discussion @ hand: Town of Bloomfield Assessor's Office
What a Scalitoing genius.
I'm hesitant to post where they live because he's a kid. But if you search the other towns in Hartford county long enough, you'll find a property owner with the same name as his dad. Hint...it's not Bloomfield.
You made a stupid comment. We've all been there. You then doubled down on it and essentially called me a racist.hey, blow it out your balloon knot

When called out on that, you laughed it off.
Don't get mad at me for pointing out you're the one acting like a Scalitoing genius.
