USA Today gets a lot of attention from the general public due to circulation. Anyone who follows high school football on a national level or very indepth does not turn to USA Today for their information. Their team rankings do not get much credibility.
Does Dabo lend you an ear from game to game, now you wanna put recruiting aside and put a number on the 48 SC players that are on the team. Geez, that lopsided Shrine Bowl victory has brought fourth some enthusiasm. Did ya know that the player who caught the winning touchdown in the National Championship was a walk on. Tell us where he is from. Oops! I just remembered your pal blue&gold said we were not allowed to talk about college football.

Have you told those teams in the top 20 this? Those NC Wake Forest players are gonna be bummed! The credibility that is. I do recall your Ducks quacking about that poll awhile back when Mallard Creek was in it, or has the credibility changed since the Ducks are not a part of it. Don't contradict yourself now by telling #13 Wake Forest their ranking has no credibility.
It shows how little knowledge you have. I am in no way affiliated with Mallard Creek and have never met Blue & Gold.
I am not contradicting myself about anything. Wake Forest is a very good team. Do I think they are the 13th best in the nation or that RHSPe is the fifth best. No, but I think they could be competitive with the best from any state. I base that on seeing the best high school teams in thirty states play in person over the last ten years. USA Today lost their credibility a couple of years ago when they "forgot" to rate one of the best teams in the nation in their preseason poll but miraculously bumped them near the top before the team played a game and no one else had come near a loss.
I do not speak to Dabo. I had lunch last week with his just retired D Line coach who was on Dabo's staff from day one through the title game in January. Have known him for years along with others that have coached at Clemson. I would hope that one of the two FBS teams in SC would have a majority of their players from the state. That is normal at most large public schools. I have repeated several times that a victory, however lopsided, in all star game is not an indicator of the strength in a state. You do not disagree with that but revert back to the head to head games between non equal and irrelevant schools.
Yes, I have met the player on several occasions that caught the pass and I have known his high school coach for decades.
This is redundant.

I wonder how those NC schools administration & coaching staffs would feel about your insight.
USA Today! Come on man? There were years when The Creek was ranked top 10 USA TODAY would have lost to the # 2222 ranked team. They sell paper's. That's it. They have no interest in time or effort of coming up with a legitimate top 25 ranking. They have zero analyst on the ground. I sent them a list of returning MC star players before the 2015 seasons. They included all of them in the article. Including my 4 year old. They don't put a lot of effort into verifying information....LOL! I don't know of anyone who hanging banner's in the GYM for a USA Today ranking.......
When did this happen? What were they saying? We want Alabama? LMAO! They're only 2 Creek guys who post here on a regular. I'm one of them. Quacking heavily about what? It's a High School Football poll. It's for fun! That's it!
Yea but ECU need more than him and they are losing a lot of good players from NC. Should have never let coach Ruffin go. Bad move by the administration and now more of their best coach left for Hampton University and already got to of the best players from Northeastern in QB's hall and the left tackle Shaw who's going to be a good college players at tackle at already 6'3" 275lbs and physical was the most valuable OT at the ECU big man camp this past summer why ECU didn't try and get him is beyond me but the new coach at Hampton grabbed him on the early signing period because he remembered him from the ECU camp. The Northeastern QB's that going to Hampton has good feet a good arm and run the 100 and 200 meters in track and plays basketball and baseball very well a good athlete and student at 6'4" almost 220 or 225lbs already.
