In the long term, I would think, that sheepskin from the academy would be worth more.
Plus they run the ball mostly so it makes sense, but to be fair Carolina sends alot of RBs to the next level.
I agree that with him
They were NOT going to win a state championship with or without him. They had Cobb and struggled with West Stokes and Walkertown. They were weak in the trenches on both sides and weak at linebacker. East Rutherford was already good at slowing down run games, and their DB's overachieved in shutting down the Rams in the air. Forest Hills, Shelby, Monroe, and Brevard would have eaten them up for snacks.
I think he would have n the playoffs. Teams that can run the ball, eat clock and keep our offense off the field would always give us trouble. We lost a lot of LB leadership from last year.
We have an old, old saying here in the country: "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."
Some of these high school players don't yet understand that schools are not going to lay out the big $$$$ if they have questions about attitude/maturity issues. Unfortunately, some will not understand why these matters are important until it's too late for them.
Coaches ain't just huntin' for skills, they want folks who vibe with the team and ready to level up, on the field and off. That saying 'bout kids slippin' by on what coaches let slide? It hits hard on how coaching shapes a player’s game. Coaches be makin' a big difference, moldin' attitudes and teachin' what it means to ride for the team.
One of the best college recruiters I have ever known spent more time recruiting the Mamas than he did the players. He believed that Mama had the most influence over the son than anyone. And he was very, very successful during his career.
