Oranges Bryse Wilson was named to the AP All State team as an athlete. Bryse carried his baseball All American pitching arm out onto the football field this year risking losing lottery style money to injury. He started off the year as a wideout then when the quarterback was injured he was moved to qb. After the quarterback came back he was moved to wingback due to an injury there. And played the entire season at linebacker. He endured low hits and late hits and as the game wore on he got less hits. He is as tuff as a microwave steak, rough as an outhouse corncob and loyal as grandma. He never showboated and when he made a great play he acted like he had been there before.

The Ironmen are having a sub par year but they have won five games over some good teams. The young inexperience team has to play without their 6' 4" junior center, Yung Sherrill an all-conference center during his freshman and sophomore years, who suffered a serious knee injury during football. Also, there are two players who were ruled ineligible to play before the season began. However, two sophomores in Jaiden Hunt and Noah Hampton are leading the way with a senior in Christian Jones. Look for the Ironmen to return to their normal ways soon.

Jarique Moore, wideout from Fairmont High School, deserves an all-state selection. He sat 12 quarters this year due to the coaching staff being sportsmanlike towards other teams by not running up the score or keeping starters in and he still had over 1600 yards receiving. He was ranked nationally in the top five several times at the beginning of the season. Congratulations to Shelby's Jayden Borders and East Lincoln's Surratt, though, for having very similar seasons. Here's a link to Jarique's highlights:

• These camps are ONLY for those players, who are serious about playing college basketball. All Camps are for 6th graders and older. The two-day camp format will be intense and players will be instructed by many of the top individual instructors in the country. Every single Camp will be run by a current or former COLLEGE coach.​

• Instruction will be given by ONLY current and former college basketball coaches. Campers will perform drills and skill work that they would be doing if they were current college players.​

• The Camp will include but not be limited to on court instruction (speed dribbling and moves off the dribble; half court and transition shooting; passing with a purpose; using and defending screens; ball screen actions; 3 on 3); detailed discussion on how to put yourself in the best position to get recruited; nutrition and diet; academic evaluation and goals; and the various basketball opportunities at all collegiate levels.​

• At the end of each Camp, every participant is given a detailed evaluation of what they do well and what they need to work on in order to reach their dreams of playing collegiately. We will then send these evaluations out to every college coach in the country. This can be a huge help to your recruiting.​

• Each Camp is Two Days long, hotels and meals are the responsibility of each camper. A player may decide to attend just one day; however we highly recommend attending both if possible.​

• Every camper will receive an official Maximum Exposure Basketball T-Shirt.​

• Camp cost is $195.00 per player (for both days) or $125.00 per player (if you just attend one day). A $100.00 deposit is required to reserve your spot.​

Outstanding year for both players!

I have been thinking about the changing face of Division 1 recruiting in our region of the country.
Here a re couple of thoughts and I would love some feedback and other opinions.
1. Why would a legit player, one who could go wherever they wanted and become a starter, choose NC State over UNC right now? UNC seems to be moving forward while NC State seems stagnant. Yes I know that recently (not this year) State has won the rivalry game. Carolina is in the National picture and NC State is not close.
2. Why would a legit player (same as above) choose South Carolina over Clemson right now? With Spurrier at the helm I could see it. SC went and hired a failed SEC coach who was fired to coach their team in the same SEC East from which he was fired?? How does that make sense to anyone? Clemson on the other hand is in the National spotlight and there is no sign of that changing anytime soon.
3. Wake Forest and Duke. Both have great academics and long term prestige in the real world. However, in the same scenario why would a player choose either of these two over Carolina, Clemson or I would even argue Appalachian from a purely football standpoint. Granted both have had decent years and Cutcliffe has over-achieved and did Groh for a few years at WF. But neither can sustain it.
4. If you had to choose between App St. and ECU right now, which would be the better choice? Put aside being close to the beach for ECU. They have a nice tradition in ENC but recently fired a former alum who had done an admirable job to hire and unproven assistant coach from a mediocre program. On the other hand, App St. has quickly risen to high level in D1 under a coach who was instrumental in their 3 National titles and seems to have a real plan in mind.........No brainier here, App over ECU for long term success and opportunity.

I am not hating on any of these schools, just looking at the big picture from a recruits perspective. Of course some will choose School A over School B because they think they could start at A but no B. Remember I am talking about all things being equal and they could start no matter where they go.

Everybody have a good and safe Christmas.

Merry Christmas to one and all!!!
