Some kids that are amazing in football in high school choose not to play in college, its that simple. There is a kid that we have offered at UMS Wright in Mobile who has offers from schools all over the country and averaged 4 TDs a game this year as a senior, MVP of the state championship game as a sophomore. He has no interest in playing college football and according to his friends I have spoken with doesnt even bother opening up most of the letters from college football programs. He is committed to play baseball at Samford where his older brother also plays ball and he just isnt interested in playing football or going anywhere else.

Depends on the 7A school. They would have no problem beating 8A West Port here or 7A Forest but not Aquinas, Osceola or First Coast. Man I LOVE FISHING IN THUS POND, FYI, Niceville played in 7 Running clock games thus year, THEY WON THE OTHER 6, are in the final four 7A PLAYOFFS. Classification don't mean Squat!!!! Florida Christian HS (2A) beats most ALL schools in Florida, short of St. Thomas... Look at 3A. All private schools that recruit. Seen Trinity Christian play (3A) and they have d1 commits everywhere. Bolles same way. But a great team can lurk in any class. The private schools in Florida have ruined the small class public schools though. How can a little town like Blountstown compete against North Florida Christian that recruits it's players

The policy on personal attacks and name calling towards players or recruits is very clear...

Florida Christian HS (2A) beats most ALL schools in Florida, short of St. Thomas... Niceville lost virtually NO ONE, the little 4A team Clay Cathorne had 13 D1 signers, little, bitty 4A school. Not 7A, not 8A, 4A HIGH SCHOOL, LESS THAN 500 STUDENTS!!! That explains it. That is something that might not ever happen to that small school again, 13 d1 players. Sounds like Lakeland High several years ago when they had seven players sign with UF alone including the Pouncey twins.

On a side note, we will see how good Osceola is Friday Night, Niceville coming to your town!!! You should go, Troy Baseball commit, Drew Frederick, is a QB at Niceville, they use a 2 QB syztem.

At least Aquinas plays 7a they problem Is in 2a and 3a. Trinity Catholic here has ruined the public schools, they pillage the talent from 6 public schools then Play in a district with little Ft. White. Osceola is beatable. They beat a good Lakeland team but they are ground hog football . I didn't see any scores from Last week. Is First Coast and Aquinas still in it. First Coast throws the ball very well

Nick Chubb at Georgia played like 1A or 2A football and dude is a freak and stud - A's don't matter Chubb is a freak and was much a man in high school that was evident. He is not an average athlete. He is also a tailback not qb. You can find some dimands in the rough on that level. You will rarely find a qb who can make the transition from 1a - 3a ball to fbs football easily.

Comparing the talent level among HS classifications (2A to 6A for example) is like comparing recruiting regions of South FL to South AL. Simple statistics dictate that the larger the pool of potential players, the greater the number of highly talented players. This applies whether one compares a high school with 200 male students to one with 800, or a recruiting region with hundreds of potential players to one with thousands. A talented player can play regardless of competition, but the amount of top talent one competes against can determine how well he plays. Really? So a 4A Alabama school, "statistically" should not be able to compete with a 7A Florida school, right? I'm not familiar with how 7A in FL compares to 4A in AL. I am familiar with AL classifications. The 4A high from which I graduated would be run off the field by 7A Spain Park or 8A Hoover. There is more talent on the bench at either of these two schools than there is in the entire Houston Co, AL school system (excludes Dothan) and that is directly related to the number of potential players in Birmingham compared to the number of the same in Ashford. Can a kid from a small school be successful in college or even the NFL? Absolutely. Can playing against competition that has a smaller pool of talent from which to choose make one look better than he is? Again, absolutely. A big fish in a small pond may turn out to be a minnow when placed in the river.

If you think Johnny Manziel or Jameis Winston is a deuche wait until you meet this kid. That answers my question. I for one take issue with anyone on this site calling high school recruits disrespectful names. Apparently some coach saw his talent, evaluated his character and decided they wanted him to represent our University. If they come here, screw up then have at them but until then, it is a lack of class for us to do it here. Darn, him or his family could be reading this as could other possible recruits and their impression of us is what? If, as sn adult, I call a high school kid disrespectful names what does that say about me? Worse yet what does it say about US?

The more kids you have in a school the more the odds are you will have a good athlete(s), no more no less!! In Florida the unreal advantage they give us to private schools through the recruiting route. Private schools have a free rein in the name of recruiting for the purpose of faith, public schools can't do that. I have spent a lot of time communicating with the FHSAA. The legislature is the evil behind thst issue but that's another story. A great kid can come from a 1-A school but the odds are not as good.

True statement also and one of the things that got me frustrated with us not attempting to recruit the area of Florida where the huge talent pool was. Hoping this changes now. We at least have to try, to much talent to ignore. NOT TRUE, CLAY CATHORN ALABAMA, 4A, PUT A RUNNING CLOCK on 7A Niceville FLORIDA this year, beat the breaks off of them, a little 4A school..... Please lay off the CAPS LOCK.

I suspect with a proper role model as a coach (which he will most certainly have on the Trojan Baseball Team) his behavior won't be an issue. His current football coach seems to bring out the worst behavior in many of his players.
