Yes, I predicted WW would finish 2nd and they actually finished "3rd".

Here are the quotes you were referencing (nothing said about "MVP")

"Westwood will have the single best athlete in the district (likely the region/Terry Bussey type) for the next 4 years. That is why I have them 2nd. Not bad logic though on either district." 

"Even though this particular FR QB is going to end up as 4-5 start recruit (also in basketball), he is still a FR and it will be a tall order to start at QB which is why I dont think they will win the district." 

Which one is inaccurate 2 years later?

You said something about him being the best player at the beginning of district play after a loss to Diboll in which he scored zero touchdowns. Not everything is on that one thread. It was all year long basically. You couldn't get enough and you was supposed to be a Coldspring coach🤣

Who is getting offered? 

Westwood head basketball coach will be interviewed and likely offered the head basketball job at Silsbee.

If Bryant takes the job, his star sons will come with him.

Understood. You have the quotes. Nothing about "MVP". I did say (still saying along with all of the P4 football and basketball coaches that are giving him offers) he was the "best athlete in the district" multiple times.

He has been the best athlete in the district which is why he has all of the P4 offers for both football and basketball (which no one else has including everyone that played for Hitchcock) despite only being a sophomore. 

Here is one for you to remember for future reference if Silsbee completes the hire: HE WILL BE THE BEST ATHLETE IN 4A2D9 AND IT WILL NOT BE CLOSE OTHER THAN HIS BROTHER WHO WILL BE A FRESHMAN.

That would be a great look for Silsbee.

Again there was a lot more than one thread that year. You made a lot of statements just doing what groupies do. Basing everything off accolades. Non of that matters when you line it up. Them stangs is not gone be concerned about his p4 offers when they line up at the line of scrimmage

WOS will definitely be concerned. WOS would have been "concerned" without the two Bryant kids. Let me know when you find the comments you keep referencing/making up. Also, remember what I just said in the previous comment.

He was Newcomer of the Year his FR year (Would love to hear exactly what "wild" predictions" I made). Lead WW to the 2nd round of the playoffs and their best season in program history at the time. Eclipsed that last year while giving Columbus their toughest game in the playoffs (same for Kountze in basketball). Piling up offers from every college in the country for both football and basketball as a sophomore. Go find a sophomore anywhere in the state that has done more.

What are you talking about? 

I went to the WW vs Columbus game. I'm not sure where you are getting they played them tough. It was a complete blow out. At one time the Franklin vs Columbus game was 42-35 in the 3rd.

1. Columbus

2. Franklin

3. Hitchcock

4. Yoakum

5 WW

Unfortunate for my horns. with what they have coming back and coming up, I felt like they were a favorite to repeat as district champs. If the Bryants transfer in that changes a lot.

I do agree with you that they will make Silsbee better in both football and basketball. Which is very scary with how good Silsbee already is in basketball.

the football team is very good as well. They had a down year last year and went 9-4. adding this family to the district does arguably more for the football team, although it is huge for basketball as well.

The reason I said basketball is because Silsbee is a known basketball town. But yes they will help the football team as well.

I understand. And the reason I said what I said is that the basketball team makes it to state all the time. Their odds will greatly increase to go back next year if the Bryants show up, but they have a shot regardless almost year in and year out. Conversely, if you take a football team that has never won state, but has gone 34-6 and won 7 playoff games over the last 3 seasons, and bring in a QB who some talk about as being the best dual-threat qb IN THE COUNTRY for his class... I just tend to think the football team might benefit even more than the basketball team.

Football is an 11 man sport. Basketball is a 5 man sport. 1 or 2 guys will make a lot bigger difference in basketball than it will in football. That's why WW won more playoff games in basketball than football with Bryant.

I agree, except for at the QB position, and WW and Silsbee are two different animals. WW football hadn't had a winning football record in a decade before they showed up. Silsbee goes 3-4 rounds deep most years. Silsbee had a really good qb the last few years. But give them a potential all-american with the talent and athleticism they're already lining up, they have the chance to do something they've never done before. Whereas you put another great basketball player on a team that usually has a bunch of great basketball players, and hey, they're doing what they normally do, but a little better.

In this case, Silsbee will get “2” All-American talents.

QB position is the most important position and can effect the game a lot especially if it's a dual threat QB. But it's still just one guy. And accolades aren't doing anything for you once that whistle blows

your nose tackle is one guy. a linebacker is one guy. your average wide receiver is one guy. but an elite dual threat qb is the "one guy" who can literally take over a game by himself, assuming he has a halfway decent line in front of him. he was worth about 7 extra wins a year for WW. What would he do for a silsbee team that went 3-4 rounds deep the last 3 years?

While that's true to a point, there are other factors to consider. I've seen very successful HS football teams lose a QB during the season (just one guy), and it tanked their season. And that wasn't even an "elite" QB...

As a guy who pays close attention to 3A football in the area you might not believe me when I tell you this but his freshman year WW would have probably had simular results without him. They returned a lot from a playoff team including a senior qb who was pretty good. They MAY have added one or 2 extra football wins at the most because of Bryant. They lost a lot of guys this past season so the wins were largely because of him but partially because of the D1 RB they went and grabbed from across town also. And you have to take in account there will likely be a step up in competition at Silsbee.

That probably depends on the level of competition your playing against and how bad your backup is. I remember Tom Brady got injured and a guy I don't even remember stepped in and looked just like Tom Brady.

That's going to be an odd exception. Nobody long term has stepped in and looked like Tom Brady... C'mon now.

Doesn't happen all the time but it happens. Just depends on the makeup of the team and the level of competition
