I sometimes think we do get the shaft in the shrine bowl up here in the mountains, but this year I dont think thats the case. As a matter of fact, our skill position players up arent what they usually are across the board from 1a-4a. Who up here plays a skill position that should have made it? Im suprised we got 1 player to be honest. The question is, not who do you believe from the mountains that got snubbed, but who's place do you believe they deserved to take?
For example...What wide receiver in WNC deserves to take 6'3'' Caleb Farley who has committed to Virginia Tech's place??
What wide receiver in WNC deserves to take Jayden Borders spot who has committed to East Carolina?
What wide receiver in WNC deserves to take 6'3'' Thomas Hennigan spot who has committed to Appalachian state?
What wide receiver in WNC deserves to take 6'3'' Emeka Emezie's spot who has committed to NC state?
What wide receiver in WNC deserves to take 6'2'' Cameron Dollars spot who has committed to Charlotte?
Another example...what quarterbacks in WNC do we have that should take 6'4'' Hendon Hooker's spot who has committed to Virginia Tech?
What quarterback in WNC do we have up here that should replace 6'5'' Will Jones spot?
Another example...what runningback do we have in WNC that got snubbed that deserved to take Christian Beal's spot who has committed to Wake Forest?
What runningback do we have in WNC that deserved to take Javon Leake's spot who has committed to Maryland?
What runningback do we have in WNC that deserved to take Larry Roundtree's spot who has offers from App state, Miami (OH), Boston College and Missouri.
What runningback do we have in WNC that deserves to be on it over Darrius Pinnix who has committed to East Carolina?
You get my point. Yea sometimes we do get screwed up here in the mountains, but this year is not one of those years. Our talent up in WNC is not at all what it is off these mountains in 2016. Congrats to Dayquan Watkins from TC Roberson for making the shrine bowl this year, but even that was a bit surprising and I have to think his 6 foot 7 340 pound frame had more to do with his selection than his on the field production.
Its hard to say, but we dont have shrine bowl talent up here this year and we dont deserve to have any skill guys.
