Top three will be CS,Huffman and Cleveland. Huffman could upset CS, the defending District Champs,but until they do it'll be this way. Liberty gave up 28 points to Splendora in their win last week and Cleveland didnt allow not a single point this week against them.Liberty will have to throw the ball a lot but Cleveland's secondary is too quick and if they try to run the ball all game like they did against Huffman they'll really get killed.Deel has to run more than the few number of plays he's running.
  Some believe the players give up early in the game,well so do the coaches.The play selection proves this.I really feel for some of these players.The comment that Liberty has no D1 players is unfortunatly true but thats not the fault of the players that had D1 potential.I believe that a couple of these players would've had a decent chance had they been under another program.Daniel Fitzwater is a good example of this.His parents moved him where he had a better chance to be noticed.With the numbers he's putting up he is being noticed.Had he stayed at Liberty no school would even be looking. And I dont want to hear from any Liberty or Fitz haters that he's not being looked at because he is.FACT.Im not saying offers Im saying scouts.Looking and offers are different.
Anyway,Liberty will get 4th at best if they dont get the big head and think they can beat Tarkington,those cowpokes are getting hungry for a district win.

I've been trying to stay off this website since Liberty is so bad and I'm a fan and don't want to get heated, but I was just appalled over and over again with the "no d1 players comment' you guys don't know our players. Omar Tebo is 300 pounds and runs under 5, he won state in power lifting, heavyweight division, I'm close friends with a former Liberty players who currently plays offensive line for Texas State University (D1 WAC) and he played with Tebo for a year or two and has no doubt in his mind that Tebo could keep up with him and his teammates. Omar isn't receiving letters anymore, he's receiving phone calls, and personal visits and some coaches have come out to watch him play/practice. He's an outstanding young man, smart, stays on his grades, and has a great family that makes sure he's on top of his game, he is polite and he happens to be an athlete. He has all the characteristics to make it to the next level then add in his size speed and strength and you would be considered ignorant for saying he won't go division 1. That's all I have to say about that topic for those of you from Huffman or wherever the heck your from thinking your some type of division 1 recruiting analyst, I'm no analyst myself but I've seen with my own eyes recruiters showing extreme interest in Omar, so have a nice day everyone.

The tangibles are certainly there and this is what scoutes will look at and recruit.  The question is the intangibles and the lack of discipline that was not instilled the last four years.  The same was true for the other person you mentioned who I hear is doing well.  The great family and the character you speak to in regards to both of these young men are what will most likely guide them through the next four to five years while being pushed.  It is a shame they did not reach the potential that God gave them while wearing black and gold.

True, and IMO that falls on the coaches. If the player has potential the coaches have to design plays and many other things to help these men reach their full potential and the coaches failed to that. The fact that there was no discipline in the program for the past 4 years shouldn't mean anything to a college coach, they have discipline at their university obviously, so they just need the athlete, and Omar Tebo is that athlete. As long as the player doesn't have discipline issues then the college coaches won't back off.

Tebo got 6th in state he didn't win. Still really good though. He's a really good player no doubt and might have the talent to play d1. The thing that could hold him back is his height. College coaches, especially D1 care alot how one player looks, ie their height.
