Normally I would have a retort for a remark like that but I somewhat agree. No other season has a district championship been more meaningless than this year. Crosby could run away with the district and get what I like to call the "2000s". PAM in bi-district, Manvel in the second round, Cedar Park in the third round only to have Temple waiting in the regional final. If Barbers Hill or Dayton miss the playoffs though, I think Crosby get another D2 regional title.

Jordan Hill, (WR), 6-3/180lbs. Has narrowed college choices down to Bowling Green, Fresno St., Colorado St., Kansas and Illinois. Probably one of the more underrated receivers in the state due to Netherly playing across from him but could be in line for a 60/1000/15 type season if he's healthy. High points the ball extremely well and can play the possession receiver or game-breaker role. I think Jordan could have an Allen Hurns type career in college if he continues to work: [Hidden Content]

The only thing I would say to that is A&M's top TE target is most likely Kedrick James out of La Vega now that Wright seems to be solid to Notre Dame. Even though two TE's are committed there's no way A&M wouldn't still accept a commitment from James which might put one of the two already committed in a predicament unless they think Horry has a chance to grow into a tackle.

IDK, nobody that's expected to have a big year is currently hurt? Normal tweaks here and there that happen throughout the offseason. Code Red is still healthy for the time being . . . knock on wood.

You just made and killed your own argument. You're basically asking teenagers to be held to a higher standard than a multi-million dollar athletic department as well as an entire board of regents. They covered up multiple sexual assault allegations and knowingly accepted transfers from kids who were accused of the same deeds. That's a lack of institutional control, the same as Penn St. was charged with which the NCAA eventually allowed any current player to transfer free and clear of restrictions. Not to mention a lot of these kids are guided by parents who may have been uninformed of the scope of the allegations before the Hamilton report came out. If you found out the company you were going to work for knowingly covered up sexual assaults of female employees would you still choose to work for them because you made a "commitment", do you stay because it's a good job? You're speculating the reason they all want to be released is because Briles got fired, what if they're trying to "man up" and do what's morally right instead of being "forced to get a free education"? The "play where you signed/committed" argument just doesn't hold water in this case.

1. Deshawn Watson 2. Baker Mayfield 3. Pat Mahomes 4. Josh Rosen 5. JT Barrett

Very hard list to make. I can't argue with anyone on there but I would probably drop Hood out of the top 5 and put Joe Mixon in there. If they both come out this year I think Mixon could go higher than Perine. By the end of the year D'Onta Foreman or Chris Warren could be on here too.

Then I would think Crosby should be behind them too. It's a catch 22 to me though. While I would rank Crosby behind them I also think it would be doing a disservice to the pollsters to have them rank teams like Oak Ridge and Montgomery who they never see or hear about. I know Conroe sucks, but unless you've seen highlights or looked at statistics regarding why they lost to College Park then how do you judge how good wins are against those teams? We have at least three dedicated high school football tv shows that cover the area teams, about 15-20 area papers that cover teams and the Chronicle which provides the most in-depth coverage throughout the weeks of the season in print and online. We see it rather we want to or not over here. I just think its a gray area to be ranking teams over 100 miles away in some cases just for the sake of covering one team.

Well, unless North Shore is covered this year Crosby should come in pre-season #1 again in the SETX rankings. With that being said, August 26th the #1 team in SETX will be playing what might be the #1 team in all of 5A when the trophies are handed out. Week 1 Crosby @ Manvel - Alvin ISD stadium Two preseason top 10 teams in the state opening with what could be a second round preview. Hard to get any bigger than that.

Walker Little actually plays OT for them. Even with him and Pancotti last year Ozen probably could've hung with or beat Episcopal. They have high level players at certain positions but nowhere comparable to the speed they see in SETX and are very thin. Playing against PAM for four quarter is harder than playing against the Episcopal, St. Thomas and Kinkaid's of the world. Not saying Ozen will win or not get blow out, I'm just saying the overall team talent will be less than a Beaumont Central, Westbrook, PAM or even a Crosby who they've lost to a couple time in the playoffs recently.

Is he going to play TE for PNG this year like he will in college, or will PNG try to keep him split out since they really don't use a TE? He must have showed very well at camp yesterday to receive a committable offer. Good thing is that A&M has two kids playing TE right now that they probably hoped would never have to see the field, in SEC depth there's probably not a better situation he could've hoped for. Congrats to him.

I would rank Atascocita behind North Shore and Westfield and far as talent goes in the Houston area. Atascocita has the most valuable player in the entire Houston area with Daveon Boyd after he led the state in 6A passing yardage. Atascocita is definitely getting the looks because they just signed two 2-star players to an FBS school this past year. Boyd is small for the QB position but I bet he gets a low level FBS offer somewhere down the road simply because he plays for Atascocita. With their enrollment crawling towards 4,000 students it's becoming a recruiting hotbed just like Humble High was back when they had a similar enrollment.

Mannie Netherly, (WR/QB), #33 ranked prospect in Texas and holds 27+ offers. State runner-up in the 400m this past season and will play QB for us this year. Holds 15 offers from the Big 12 and SEC alone: [Hidden Content]

I think some schools will be/are leery of the knee until he shows it's not affecting him. If and when he's healthy he might get some more looks but I think he's pretty firm on UH. It's just a pleasure to watch the kid run the ball with the balance determination he shows, really missed that this past season.

Craig (Sqwirl) Williams, (RB), 2018 #3 rated all-purpose back in the country per 247sports. Already holds an offer from every power 5 conference in the country: [Hidden Content] Hopefully a healthy Grace and Williams can repeat the type of performance they had during the semifinal run a couple of years ago.

It is what it is. I didn't know anything about this site until after we lost to Vidor, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have been hush hush about an undefeated district championship and a narrow third round loss to Dawson in '09. You're right about me probably being hush hush the year you got on here and we lost by seven points to Brenham . . . in the second round.

The NCAA can make that null and void if they choose to, and probably will. Maybe not for the kids that are already there, which is probably 50/50, but for the kids that have only signed a letter of intent the NCAA can choose to make that particular agreement, for that particular school, for that particular year non-binding. The NCAA can basically do as it chooses but it's likely that decision won't be made until down the line leaving the current kids in a quandary.

You must not have seen what they looked like, Mustafa and Daveon had it covered.

In light of the end of the Spring evaluation period I will be posting Crosby's prospects film. First up will be the catalyst of the 2014 semifinal run. Carlos Grace(RB), committed to University of Houston: [Hidden Content]

Man, BH might beat Dayton. We play them right out of the box after coming off Santa Fe and Vidor, Westeberg is going to get baptized in his first district game. I know kids that they're looking at to play specific positions and those kids will be absolutely no threat to Crosby. You need players to win, why do you think Dayton isn't having that same success without Green and Dugat? Why do you think Ricky Tullos took a backwoods system to George Ranch and turned them into a powerhouse? You ever watched Katy run their bread and butter play, the toss crack out of a 1970's SWC game? You can coach up and scout whatever you want, better have you some players.

Very true, they're actually the 17th most talented school in the nation since 2000. Off the top of my head I can't even think of one D1 prospect BH has even had in that period, I'm sure there's at least one though? Mix that with the fact that in his time at Allen Westeberg never coached a qb that didn't end up in the SEC or what is currently the Big 12 before Seth Green signed with Minnesota this year. While they're in different classes most of the time, those SEC and Big 12 qbs were being protected by at least four D1 offensive linemen too. Then they had at least two D1 receivers to throw to at all times, even had NFL backs like Jonathan Williams to had off to. What some people don't realize is that when you play in a semifinal and title games and you literally have TWICE the enrollment as your opponent, you have major built-in advantages that do not exist at BH. [Hidden Content]

I usually don't bring this up because it doesn't matter but didn't we just beat BH 74-19 in 7 on 7? That's before we add in the line of scrimmage. They probably ran the ball a lot because it's very obvious they still can't throw it. There were people scouting our Spring game though, they all had NCAA logos on their shirts.

Lol, and you're from Hardin right. Totally understandable.

Whenever I watched PNG play Angleton this past year it looked like some kids from Barrett Station would've helped . . .

Your source set you up failure and lied to your face.
