Obviously the UIL got it wrong because Coach Izzy "really knows what happened", they just randomly hand out 3 year suspensions for DMs.

Dude, North Shore just came and got our star '27 receiver. When Coach P was at Crosby he pulled up in Barrett Station one time because he thought/heard a North Shore coach was trying to acquire his kids during some training sessions. So a head coach with zero connections to the area was already concerned about his kids being poached by North Shore. Furthermore, at the area track meet in BH last year I was offered a "way" for both of my high school sons to come to North Shore. Again, you can parse the words whichever way you please but the UIL just agreed with my point of view so it seems you're the one making baseless statements even though you "know what's going on behind the scenes".

Yeah, I know all about it. I can show you several pictures where she took my son on recruiting visits this fall while I was on T/A. My classmate/teammate is the assistant AD at North Shore so I'm pretty familiar with the talent acquisition process. All my cousins played for Aymond, North Shore was "acquiring" kids from Forrest Brook, Smiley and CE King way back when Corey Redding and Andre Gurode were on the team in the late '90's when NS first got good. I saw the DM, so we can debate the semantics of the word "sketchy" but the UIL doesn't investigate things that are above board or at least appear to be. That being said, I don't think anything should happen to Coach Cam or NS other than a "Don't do it again" slap on the wrist. I was at a 7 on 7 tournament in Dallas a couple years ago watching one of my buddy's kids and one of the parents showed us a DM from a coach offering to help her get a car so she could more easily bring her son to a certain school. If the UIL isn't going to take active measure to police it all then North Shore shouldn't be singled out but if I was a coach on another staff and saw that DM I would probably make the same assumptions he did, you would too since any coach is going to automatically assume the worst.

I like the district a lot better with Angleton in it, they bring some physicality and plus level athletes I think the district is missing overall. I think they're pretty comparable physically to the College Station schools Crosby could see in bi-district if we can make the playoffs. I also now have an excuse to go fight the mosquitoes in Lake Jackson to see if I can break 80 at The Wilderness, so thank you UIL.

I wouldn't call him smooth in QB terms but he is a great athlete which is why Coach P will probably switch him to RB like he did with Reggie Branch at Crosby after he played QB for a couple of years. It may be a blessing in disguise for him since he was probably going to be recruited as an "athlete" versus a QB anyway. He may still transfer if his feelings are hurt and he's dead set on playing QB like a couple of transfers we lost from the '27 class were I think he'll probably end up liking whatever role Coach P carves our for him in the offense. Coach P and Coach Poth(DC) get kids to college.

Lots of staffs at winning programs have "talent acquisition" guys, it's an open topic in south Dallas county. North Shore is about to take the reprimand for the whole east side when they get less kids than CE King and lower profile transfers than Summer Creek. I think the UIL does the least they can to NS so they don't start going down a slippery slope around the rest of the state because I can 100% guarantee you Coach Cam is far from the only one that has sent sketchy DM's to kids.

I saw some of his highlights if he was the varsity QB last year? Crosby had a stud ‘27 QB that transferred to BH because of little Jerry. He’ll be the QB and Dayton will be better for it. It’ll be his 4th year in the system while the other kid won’t even know where to line kids up. I’m a tough critic of coaches playing their sons but little Prieto is legit and then some.

There will be for the opener. Crosby fans will still show up 5 mins before kickoff looking for one of the same 27 parking spots we never found the last 20 years just so we can walk in and stand on the fence.

Nah, Levi’s off to college after the THSPA state finals and my prize steer who’ll be a sophomore next year is fond of the staff. Our defense was the worst I’ve ever seen but the DC played LB in the league, is a great LB coach and the kids love him. Dayton is probably going to win somewhere around 30 games over the next three years with Prieto’s son at QB(if he stays at Dayton). They won’t have to worry about me moving in because he’ll have Liberty County sowed up. That’s just how it works as you can see from North Shore’s situation.

He’s also bringing the DC which is his most important assistant since Prieto calls the plays. The OC at Crosby under Prieto is most likely coming too. Most important pickup will be Prieto Jr. Held his own this year in his playoff start as a freshman and should end up a high 3⭐️ recruit at minimum. Dayton has their Jerry Stewart and fell into Cody Green-lite. Congrats Bronco fans, looking forward to the opener.

Shout out to Coach Willis moving the signing ceremony to shift change. Already got his first W of 2024, we only need two more wins now to improve on last season’s total.

Crosby: Week 1 - Dayton Week 2 - Iowa Colony Week 3 - FB Marshall

I don’t think Willis and Abseck have the warmest of relationships dating back to their time at Cedar Park.

Crosby’s 2024 schedule:

After tearing his knee up his senior year I think the mental part of the recovery was tough on him moving forward. He looked solid when he got some clock at Blinn but I think going from potentially the Big 10 to grinding it out in juco isn’t for everybody. I know Kellen Haynes has the school passing records but IMO Howard is the best QB Crosby has had since probably 2000.

I think we’ll be more than alright with a full offseason and if Willis can get the kids to buy in. We got a transfer QB from FB Crawford that would’ve been a FB Ridge Point kid before he got re-zoned and looks a lot more like what Willis needs to run his system. He’s only going to be a sophomore next year but he’s already camped at UTSA and UH. Only concern I have is that he’s being recruited as a pro-style QB and built like Jaiden Howard while Willis’ offense is option heavy? I’m not overly optimistic but hopefully a full offseason and kids being in the system for a second year helps out.

If Liberty Hill couldn’t run through PNG La Porte won’t either. They’re not better than PNG on either line of scrimmage and PNG can actually play defense. It’s an indictment on the district for a team of that caliber to be able to win it which is ultimately why the district was 1-4 in the playoffs.

Figured they would've switched Angleton and Galveston Ball for Kingwood Park and Porter but I guess they used the beltway as the deciding factor? Very easy drives for Crosby next year.

11-5A D1 Crosby FB Kempner Friendswood Spring Woods Kingwood Park La Porte Porter Pasadena Looking like Crosby may get three district wins this year. Pasadena, Spring Woods and FB Kempner should be winnable

I'm sure Willis will try to find the easiest games possible in non-district so probably one there and Baytown Sterling

Houston Furr East Benard Splendora We would probably be outcoached in every game but may be able to out-talent Splendora and get the kids a win going into district play.

Well, today I guess we get to find out who we're going 2-8 against next season? Have new QB transferring in which fits more along the lines of what Willis wants to run but as far as talent retention the wheels continue to come off. The Austin Walter-like stud freshman running back transferred out a few weeks ago and we may be losing the Craig Williams clone out of the same class. Going to be a depressing journey until we can get a coach who can pump some life back into the program.

Crosby lost by 50 to a FBM team that finished 3rd in a D2 district that PNG won. We lost to Baytown Lee who opted up and should've been in D2 these past two years. Every district team we lost to the past two years we beat when we were D2 outside of La Porte which we beat least year. What you're saying doesn't even make sense? What team did you watch this year? Using your theory Porter could've "slept walked" into the semis in D2 since they beat Crosby this year too? Who cares what the number is a month before the number actually counts? Everybody in Crosby with a pulse knows we would've been a lot better under Prieto this year and wouldn't have lost near the kids we did. Who's lying to me and about what?

I'm only here until my flight leaves for St. Lucia tomorrow. As pitiful as this season was I figured I might as well spend a week taking it out on some Wahoo and hitting some golf balls in the ocean. My old lady is from Oak Cliff and her nephew plays for Duncanville so I've been getting the treatment at the house all bleeping year, smh.
