Re: D-1 talent?

I completely understand where you guys are coming from, but let me just point out I was just listing "potential" players that are maybe getting some interest, which differs completely from my own personal opinion. But here is my list of Garunteed D1 or D1aa players.

Antwaun Reed- Johnstown
Mike Cruz - Bishop McCort
Wayne Jones- Bishop McCort
Abdullah Wadley- Bishop McCort


I will also add to a comment made ealier regarding Mike Cruz and Antwaun Reed. They are two big time playmakers who would do the exact same thing in the Wpial. Before Reed committed he already had scholarship offers from Pitt, Virginia, Buffalo, and Maryland. Mike Cruz holds scholarship offers from Pitt, Virgina, and Temple. Keep in mind both of these players still have 16 MONTHS until their official signing date. To offers this early in your playing career is extremely hard and I highly doubt us bleacher coaches know more than these colleges coaches who think these players are good enough to play for there programs.

Another prediction is that both players will be ranked in the country at their respective positions.

From what I've seen this season: not only does Wayne Jones absolutely blow up the other teams line, he HAS TO BE double teamed or he will be in the backfield every play. I have never seen a kid his size with the hands and coordination that he has. Ask (supposed Mr. D1) Aaron Brezovic what Mr. Jones has...than you connot say that Wayne shouldn't be going D-1, Big D-1.

man mccort has some serious athletes on their team this year, i dont think many ppl(including myself) expected them to have this type of year esp. w/o wadley who is yet again another D1 player, well i guess they are only in the second round of the playoffs, and they have a huge matchup with PC next week....lets see how many of these "D1" players will man up and play some D1 ball...

Any chance for any of the top quarterbacks in the league to make it D1?(i.e. Rearick, Pecora, DeFrances,Shrift)

Wow that is great to see some good local talent for a change!! I can remember when there would be about 1 or 2 D-IA players from a 200 mile radius around this area. Now they are getting some good players which is very nice to see!! Good Luck to all that get a chance!

Feaster has been looked at by Temple and New Hampshire.

Just an FYI...

Not a bad matchup, but it is better to look at how they played against bigger tackles. Seeing that neither of them will be playing offense line or offense at all in college. Look at them as d ends or possibly outside backers not olinemen. But i concure with Kawchak. He is tall quick and freakishly strong. I look to see him play D 1 AA at least or even go to a good D2 school like a grand valley or saginaw, not anything in the psac. Just a thought.

Just a quick thought. Judging by the performances of BMHS the past two years...why did Chris Kawchak not play OLine last year? In my opinion he would have helped the line A LOT more than Pierce and I'm not sure who else, at the tackle spots last year. He is as you've said quick and very strong.

Oh and not to mention, as I've stated before, I'm a Trojan by blood but you have to love the play of Brad Barbin. I've seen them play 4 games this year and I think he is definately 1-AA material. Not to mention he comes to play no matter what and he doesn't back down from anyone. Look for him to make HUGE PLAYS in the playoffs...mark my words.
