Brett Sawyer hired as new Baytown Sterling HC!
Cougar14.2 replied to HookEm88's topic in High School Football
Well, he made more than the position was offered for at GCM. Starting salary for a GCCISD head football coach was a little over $79k last year, whic is why I remember the Lee guy that came from Texas City starting at $80k. Maybe the teachers are paid great but when you can go to the SW side of Houston or north to Montgomery County, not be expected to win, and still start at 6 figures, GCCISD and their lack of talent becomes a hard sell to sought after coaches.

You must not have seen them play on the underclass levels? They have a qb/rb combo that will be at least as good or better than Brantley(Tulane) and Williams(A&M). King's talent pool is growing just like all the other schools that are currently in our district except for maybe Dayton. They're doing a lot of upgrades at the school but Sheldon ISD will just eventually need another high school once the Liberty subdivisions are finished and they'll also see enrollment increases as Generation Park is being completed. The kids in that whole area north of 90 between CE King prkwy dang near to John Ralston are trying to go to King now. I believe Flannigan still does live in Crosby. The problem with GCCISD trying to get a good head coach is that they don't pay very much starting out, I believe the guy that took the Lee job started around $80k and Gerari was something similar. Hard to attract quality coaches around this area if you're going to pay Beaumont ISD salaries. -
Kid killed it last year with no other perceived threats on the team except the qb, if he's healthy he might put up JK Dobbins-like numbers dropping down a classification to Silsbee. I think with the Spring evaluation period drawing to a close you probably won't see many more Power 5 offers for him because of his size but I fully expect him to dismantle 4A competition next year. Pretty solid rating as the #24 APB in the country - [Hidden Content]

Good post Coach Bear. I hope some people on here were digesting those "why" reasons from the horses mouth. I never told you before, but thanks for having your guys take it easy on me in practice and letting me make it to college healthy. Really wished I would've listened to more of what you guys were trying to tell me. Freeman was #4, Clack was #7, this is #14 that went to South Dakota State y'all thought was a head case. I know I missed out on multiple offers because of it but sometime the hard way is the most tangible way to learn. Keep doing what you do coach, glad I got to be around you.

My point was that any time you see an astronomical amount spent on a high school stadium you start getting the detractors writing stories, like USA Today, about what could've alternatively been done with the money. You're helping me make my point when you highlight that it doesn't take away from the students in any manor.
-
The district I was talking about building a new school was Plano. They have three senior highs alone with enrollments totaling over 16k students. Highland Park is a wealthy district but very small when compared to Plano, Plano ISD already has two nice stadiums but when they were ready they could build something $60-$65 million and swallow the cost better than all these other districts except Katy. Plano ISD's operating budget last year was something like $435million, not to mention they probably have the biggest egos in Dallas so there's little to no chance they let $120+ million worth of stadiums go up within 5 miles of each other, right in their backyard, and not build anything to match.
-
Heard he looked real nice at the 7 on 7 between Crosby and PAM before the game had to be stopped. That's pretty high praise for him since Crosby had already taken out a loaded North Shore earlier.
-
It may be a while down the road but there's another district on 75 where the real money in Dallas resides outside of Highland Park. When that district decides it's time for a new stadium, it will become the new crown jewel of THSF. The district already has two nice stadiums but you can bet the egos in that part of town will want the best one, the residents could care less about the actual product on the field.
-
I think the sheer numbers are what makes people scratch their heads some. The actual economics of it for a city the size of McKinney aren't bad at all. Still a huge number for academics to come to terms with when you think of what that could provide for regular students. I think there are 3 or 4 more ISD's that could build/are building stadiums like this pretty soon if they so chose. Most interesting part of it is the stadium is estimated to cost $300k more than Katy's, probably just to say they have the most expensive stadium in the state.

Crosby Recruiting Coordinator/OC
Cougar14.2 replied to dillonpanthers's topic in High School Football
He has 27 reported offers so far, should be over 30 by the end of the Spring evaluation period. I think he's the second best receiver in the state behind Damion Miller at John Tyler. -
Crosby Recruiting Coordinator/OC
Cougar14.2 replied to dillonpanthers's topic in High School Football
Well, Coach Rio2 has moved on to Flower Mound Marcus. Glad to see him get a 6A opportunity closer to home. Great coach and great educator also, will most certainly be missed. Coach Nash will be taking over the receiver coaching now. On a lighter note, Sqwirl picked up two offers from Va. Tech and Auburn today to go with Mannie's offer from Ole' Miss after his de-commitment from A&M last night. Pretty impressive who's who of colleges coming through Crosby handing out offers today. -
Yeah, you're talking about DeAndre McNeal. Malik flashed so much more on film it's hard to say McNeal was better but he was definitely an elite prospect at the position coming out of high school. His problem is that he's a 'tweener IMO, he's nearly 240lbs and trying to play in the slot. He's better suited to play H/TE but he's short for the position. Tough luck but the kid is determined to catch passes at Texas so we'll see what happens when this new crop of receivers gets there.
-
That's how he should be looking at RSJ for not being able to pull double coverage off of him in the slot. I've already said in another thread that I think Mannie will have an Ashley Lelie type effect on the college game, at least Kirk could've played with one receiver that lived up to his rating other than himself before he leaves College Station after his junior year. Mannie's de-commitment was bigger than Martell's IMO though. A&M needs to give a long hard look at Jason Shelly or try to flip Avery Davis and stop chasing oos guys with high star rankings, I would even throw Kellon Mond into that mix even though he's from Texas.
-
I think McCulloch will push for playing time immediately if he has a good Summer. I expect him to be around 250lbs during fall camp, would suck to have to start a true freshman in the middle for the second straight year but I think he's actually more suited to do so than Malik. Wheeler is the starter on the weak side and pretty light, not sure he holds up in the middle. Maybe Edwin Freeman can get some reps there and allow Malik to move out to his more natural position?
-
Yeah, exactly what I said was/is still true though. It was actually more of a "home game" for Ridge Point anyway since they're closer to NRG. The reason I said if healthy is because Grace blew out his knee in the second game of the season against Angleton in a 34-0 win where he had 7 carries for 99 yards in the first quarter. It didn't affect us against anyone else during the season but killed us not to have his inside running presence against Ridge Point. It's far from true that anyone can beat anyone on a given night. With the product I saw Lumberton put on the field we could have played that game 100 times and won 70-0 nearly every time. At the Nederland vs New Caney game Coach Babin himself said "we just don't have anything like that in Lumberton". Same for Galena Park and half the other teams in our district. Crosby has only lost 2 games to teams in the SETXsports coverage area the last four year and both of those schools are 6A now. You will continue to hear the same thing, at least from me, as it pertains to the outlook/predictions for Crosby football. Crosby is no longer judged on regular season success, we're at the point now where we can go 11-0 and it still be considered a sub-par season. Do some research man, the only teams Crosby's staff are worried about reside in SW Houston and Central Texas with the exception of Manvel. Everyone on the staff has more couth than me and would never admit that though.
-
With the additions of the kids from San Antonio and Summer Creek, Crosby has both sides of the ball solidified for the most part. I'm sure a couple of things will change over the Summer and Fall camp though. You can expect Netherly to put up something like 35tds/5ints with about 1,500 rushing yards to go with it if Crosby is healthy. I also expect well over 2,000 yards from the backfield combination of Williams and Grace. For the fourth straight year Crosby will put a faster and more potent combination of athletes on the field than the previous year. If Crosby is healthy the only games they should have a chance of losing are the two non-district games and the potential second round rematch with Manvel, other than that only the Temple's and Cedar Park's of the region would scare Crosby.

I guess I don't understand what you were asking/saying?

More likely than not Martell is going to go to Ohio St. That was the main school that pressured him away from A&M. I wouldn't count out USC either but my guess would be Martell goes to tOSU. A&M was offering other qbs anyway so either they learned their lesson with the transfer of the last two 5-star qbs they had or the staff didn't really feel Martell was head and shoulders above the rest of the qb class around the country. I personally think the three Texas stud qbs for this cycle, which are Ehlinger, Robinson and Mond, are all better than Martell. Instead of reaching for the oos 5-star kids maybe they should do heavier evaluation in state so they could end up with another Tannehill or JF, both of which were three stars that turned into first rounders. Good news for Texas and LSU is that Mannie Netherly also decommitted when Moorehead sent out those tweets. Other than Damion Miller I think Netherly is the best receiver in the state for the '17 class, time for Uncle Charlie to get to work. I think Mannie could be an Ashley Lelie type player in college.

Man, first time I've ever been called out by a pipe fitter on comprehension skills. We have seen what Riordan looks like with all of the best D-1 players on the field, he hasn't lost the last three years when that's been the case, 34-5 to be exact. Here's what BH will do this offseason, it's a normal athletic improvement course for about an hour a day that most decent teams partake in. Crosby, George Ranch, Westfield, Katy, North Shore, etc. all do programs like this. My point is that you're highlighting something that has become standard operating practices around the state, BH is being brought up to speed instead of being the outlier like Dayton obviously is now.

You can look at it as betting, I look at it as a possible improvement to the site based of predicted team performance which is mostly what the site it about. Neither of us gain anything from it but it does show how fervent we are in our beliefs. If it's against your religion then it's a moot point and I'm sorry for even bringing it up, too bad you don't get to play fantasy football or anything else of the sort though.

Big congrats to Clayton Callicutt (DE) from Crosby for being selected in the 8th round by the Chicago Bears. UFA's have a hard time making the squad but maybe he can follow in Chance Casey's footsteps and eventually get some run somewhere. Clayton left Angelo State as the all-time sack leader to go with multiple of other conference and national awards. Proud to see him rewarded for his grind and it just goes to show that if you can play they'll find you no matter where you are. [Hidden Content]

Most of the decent teams in the DFW all go through the clinic you're talking about. We do Edge in the offseason at Crosby which is the same thing, other teams call it different things other places. Obviously y'all don't do anything like that in Dayton or you would know that. I don't know where you got the stud QB thing from, which is exactly why I asked the question in the Spring Game thread? It's not about stepping up to the plate empty-handed, Westeberg got about a $35k raise to come coach at BH and be the AD. No doubt he thinks he can win at BH, but remember Gage also had two 6A titles when he came. He has an opportunity to boost his retirement just like Price and Gage did, so he took it. When he was the OC at Garland and he won a title he had top tier talent, same for being the head coach at Allen. Do you not think Allen won't be just as good without him? See Euless Trinity, Cedar Park and Aledo who didn't lose a beat when their great coaches left. Think about it, before this last year every QB he coached at Allen went to what is currently a Big 12 school or an SEC school. Last year Seth Greene, who was already committed to Oregon when he transferred, was the only kid not to play in one of those conferences. He chose to play for Minnesota instead. Let's see how he looks when he doesn't have the best players on the field, I think Riordan is going to eat his lunch.

Lol, Dayton will be doing well to make the playoffs 2016. Nations isn't walking into a situation like Riordan where you have 5000+ yards of offense in your backfield and an all-state receiver on the outside. Dayton and KP have similar talent levels and Maple went 2-8 his first year at the helm in 21-5A, that's coming from another head coaching job whereas Nations hasn't called a play in a game in 5 years. If you're confident we can always make a friendly wager though? Dayton wins district and I'll donate $250 to the site, if they don't win district you donate $250 to the site. I'll even give you an out, if Dayton doesn't win district but PNG does we still push. Deal?
