  1. This was so infuriating. Roach was really good! It was actually a good eval! And then we played him laughably out of position for almost his entire time here. He still made it to the league though, as a DT of course, which is where he should’ve been here.
  2. How big do you think RBs are supposed to be? Bijan is 5’11 215 lbs right now in the NFL.
  3. No doubt. Most other states stopped trying a long time ago. And despite what some think, there is still very much a sense of community at these big programs in Texas. They recruit here and there, but they’re not recruiting entire teams. Except for maybe Allen.
  4. Didn’t mean to assume you did, my point was just that by the time you get deep into the playoffs, it’s a bunch of teams doing the same thing. I’ve mostly stopped complaining about recruiting outside of a joke here and there, because everyone is doing it. It’s as pointless as complaining about NIL in college.
  5. Reportedly, he only breaks even from it. The last time I saw the numbers reported, NRG stadium was charging triple the amount Jerryworld did.
  6. I view recruiting in high school like the steroid era in baseball. It’s widely believed Barry Bonds didn’t start juicing until he saw what Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa were doing with no repercussions. Same thing happened in high school sports. In the DFW specifically, Big (and usually richer schools) like Allen and Southlake and Aledo, were openly recruiting (open enrollment or not) with little to no repercussions and everyone else saw it and said “well, me too”. We’re at the point now where I don’t think there is a power program in 5A or 6A that isn’t recruiting. I don’t like it either, but the idea that this is only happening in one place or area is nonsense. People have a blind spot for the schools they root for and always think it’s those “other schools”. It’s everyone that matters.
  7. DeSoto doesn’t even have 6A numbers anymore, so I don’t know what you want them to do. Building another high school there makes no sense. And until very recently, Katy High just funneled all the best players in the area to themselves anyways.
  8. Almost all of the games stunk. Championship week can build momentum if the games are good, you’re more likely to bring in more people who come on a whim. But the games were terrible. Attendance was better last year and it was mostly the same teams as this year. That tells you it was about the quality of the games.
  9. Final for anyone who still cares about this terrible game: DeSoto 74 Summer Creek 14. Some interesting notes in an uninteresting game: DeSoto has a freshman WR who caught a TD and he was wearing a Texas Longhorn bandana. Maybe something to keep an eye on down the road. Tre Wisner’s little brother blocked two punts. That’s all I got.
  10. This is a referendum on regions 3 and 4 in 6AD2. This has been DeSoto’s easiest game all postseason.
  11. DeSoto could easily score 100 if they wanted to tonight.
  12. Duncanville probably should’ve punted. North Shore still with a shred of life. Edit: Aaaaaaand nevermind, NS fumbles.
  13. It’s jarring to see a North Shore defense get dominated like this.
  14. This made me feel a lot better about it. It was probably holding not DPI, but it doesn’t really matter because they were in the red zone anyway.
  15. I get why people don’t like it, but that’s getting flagged every time in modern football today. Leading with the helmet.
  16. This does not call for a review, just wasting our time now.
  17. #11 is also committed to us. Alex January, a DT.
  18. North Shore just has no answers for Durham and this Duncanville offense. It’s less fun for the rest of us, but @Helobious is having a decent week with his picks 😂
