bigbird Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 @ellitor have you heard anything from AU's side about interest in Jamarion Miller? It might be a tough pull, but hopefully we take a look. He has a great combination of speed, Power, and vision. He hits the hole a lot like one of my all-time favorites, Kenny Irons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of Covid not this last year but multiple times in past I have seen very good teams from the states you mentioned come to Allen HS and leave beaten by Allen HS. I believe Byrd can tell you about similar outcomes in his part of Texas. The players are not soft here. Look at how many make it into NFL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have zero interest in calling Texas players "soft" but, percentage-wise, Texas falls well behind those states in terms of college talent produced from total high school players. 1.

In my experience, Texas treats HS football the way Auburn/Alabama treat college football. In other words, HS football is more important in Texas than college football passion wise IMO. So, just about everyone will play HS football that can. Not unusual to have A and B freshman teams with over 30 on each team. Same with middle schools. In high school you have a lot of 30/30/30 guys who just want to be part of the team (only play when 30 pts ahead/30 pts behind/30 secs left in the game). So yeah, ratio might be lower for the ones who move on to college just because they have so many kids playing.

Had not considered that they might have more kids playing overall per capita. I've heard that the "Texas kids are soft" rep comes from the ubiquity of spread offenses down there, but I have no idea if there's any validity to it. Either way, I doubt looking at post high school numbers tells us anything about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not uncommon to have 75 on each Middle school team and some have A B, and C teams. Typically you'll have two freshman teams, 1 HUGE JV team that catches all the soph and juniors that can't make varsity, and 75-90+ varsity team. You're right that tons come out just to be associated with the team. They understand that they'll never go anywhere, but love the game, the comradery, and the status. The per capita stat is a good measuring stick, but when explored further, the population of Texas programs really skews the talent level down. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then at least 3 HS Stadiums built in Texas that surpass the one we have in Allen. The one down the street in McKinney that was recently built was built by same company that had to redo ours.

Zeek Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Added some more guys based off the "warm"/"cold" feature 247 has (which I know is painfully inaccurate) but this early it's just a loose thing to go on instead of listing every single person offered. The 2022 class should shape up nicely for us. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
