West Lincoln Running Back- Mack George

[Godevilsgo]

Congrats young man. Best back in the SD7 in my opinion and now two time North Carolina 195 pound state champion. Two years undefeated at over 110 straight wins and 52-4 as a sophomore. Proud day to be a Rebel.

What weight class? Where is he going to college?

195 pounds Btango. I have no knowledge of his future plans.

Any wrestler who gets even one D1 offer is one lucky person. Nine scholarships for a team of thirty kids is a tough road. Football provides 85. It is rare any kid in North Carolina gets a D1 offer. Almost all Carolina kids on a roster for wrestling have walked on. A two time state champ at App got 1000 bucks a semester. And he was a three time United States All American. The difficulty in being an All American in wrestling is staggering. It is not some designation like football, you must earn it on the mat at the national event against the nations best, man against man. Only the top eight get that designation.

Universities very rarely recruit North Carolina. Over half of all recruits come from the five major wrestling states. Finishing 6th in Ohio, Penn, California, New Jersy, and New York is considered big. California has one champion for a 33 million population. There is no 1A thru 4A. So it goes in other states. I would say he was highly recruited considering the facts.

Perception is we are not a viable recruiting state mainly because North Caroilna rarely sends kids to major events. It is very expensive to send kids.

Did Mack George get any college football offers?

College wrestling has been crushed by Title 9. I agree with the concept of Title 9 except that football should not be included in the calculations.

 

[ThrowItAround]

Title 9 is out dated, I wrote a paper about it in college.

 

[Godevilsgo]

Football scholarships should be 45 per team and no more. One player for each position and a backup. Use regular guys as special team players as well. Know any businesses with three or four back up salesmen or managers per location. Another example of American excess. Cut college funding but never touch our outrageous sports spending.

45 on a roster is too few considering they play 12 regular season games and a bowl game for most teams along with spring practice and school. Some teams have a conference championship and two high intensity playoff games.
