Ryan Johnson Oregon Surf Runs Jesuit Womens Soccer

This thread is not sad.
What is sad is the fact that it took this long for any concerted effort to cast some light on what all of us know.
More sad is that some of you continue to either defend the whole messed up system, or claim that those people speaking out should just keep their mouths shut.
SF recruits.
He doesn’t even need to, because the program’s success and the school’s reputation would likely draw enough talent that he’d have no trouble building a team that could compete against anyone.
And still he recruits.
It doesn’t make any sense. And yet he does it.
And whether or not you agree with it, think it is a non-issue, or want everyone to shut up because you yourself benefit from it, is irrelevant .
Recruiting is against the rules. It is cheating. It is an abuse. It is unfair as defined in the OSAA handbook.

I hope the posts claiming that OSAA is investigating it are true.
Honestly, it’s about time.

I have sent several emails to OSAA. There will be other places like the media.

How do those of us who want to flag these issues connect off of this thread? Legit question. I have no dog in this fight anymore as my kids have graduated and moved on.

I am wondering the same thing. I’m not entirely confident OSAA will do anything, but this is a serious abuse and needs to be addressed.

RJ is trying to get my daughter to play for Surf. His Surf pitch is largely based on his soccer connections. To prove his point, he put us in touch with SF. SF watched some film and offered her a spot on next year's varsity at Jesuit. We're not really Catholic school people, but it seems like a good opportunity.

Can you guys please not complain about this? Thanks!

I realize this is probably not true. But I assure you this is exactly how he operates.
RJ has repeatedly boasted to the kids and parents that used to private train with him that he will “get them D1 scholarships”. This is a fact and I have witnessed this. You parents also know this to be true.

I guarantee you he promised Jesuit connections and made that happen.

Fennah has been doing this shady stuff for years, but this may be the best evidence of using a club director to place players on the team

Contact OSAA and post who you have emailed and or spoken to. Post their responses.

i have emailed both Larry Ramirez and Gustavo Balderas
I have not received a response yet. 2 days ago. I will continue to email them. They have board meetings that are recorded on YouTube

This site can be the public record of either their action/responsiveness or lack of action or non-responsiveness.

either way we can try to hold them accountable to inquire about the Undue Influence rules violations accusation against the coach, Ryan Johnson and possibly players to recruit club members and transfers from other high schools.

Just emailed Gustavo Balderas

6a_eb_rep@osaa.org

stated that they need to review complaints about collusion between 2 local ECNL clubs and Jesuit coach Steve Fennah. There is no diversity on the varsity team. It’s all Thorns and some Surf players
