I really need to watch a Merrillville game with this guy. The stories, hyperbole, and flat out lies would be fantastic.

Last year he had sons playing for Lake Central and Portage. Guy needs to stick with one story and ride it out.

Having 2 or 3 skill position D1 recruits that Merrillville couldn't poach isn't enough to put Hammond Morton in the Top 10. The 'Govs went 5-5 last year after 2 straight one win seasons. IMO, too premature to think they're even close to being a Top 10 team. East Central is probably too low. I know they lost their 2 best skill players. No idea what they have returning on their lines. But, I respect the program enough to believe they'll develop a legitimate 5A contender. They deserve Top 5 on name only.

Awesome. I was a Freshman at Portage that year. I went down to the RCA Dome that year to watch Hobart / East Central in the 4A game and then LC / Bloomington South in the 5A game. Interesting hire. He built Hanover Central. Not really sure if it’s possible to win at Highland. The times have changed there. Maybe he resurrects the LC program.

When did Coach K play for the Blue Indians?

Agreed. I won't hold it against Bob when he's loving the Bears offense with CW and a stable of capable WR's. 😄 I think you hit the nail on the head with one sentence from a previous post. This wasn't CW vs. JF. The Bears ultimately decided to restart the clock on the QB cap hit instead of giving JF an extension. They identitifed CW has being the best QB phyiscally and then spent MONTHS vetting his character. Poles told all of his scouts to ask questions about CW when talking to prospects from Oklahoma and USC. The interview of Kingsbury also served as a vetting process into CW and his father. All the Bears were able to discover was that he is a very well liked kid by teammates and coaches and his father is never seen at football facilities.

They got you too? That's a shame. Everyone who has a voice at USC has said his dad was never an issue and was pretty much never seen in their facilities. All he did was ask an agen if it was possible to get a slice of ownership. Is that really that bad? He made no demands.

I could picture Brady doing the same in a Patriot uniform.

Finally some sanity in this thread. At this point Bob is convinced Rich Mirer will have had a better NFL career than Williams will end up having.

Lowell vs. West Lafayette is Week 3 per Harrell. Am I sensing some South Lake County anamosity towards the upstart Hanover Central?

This class being QB heavy in the Top 5 worked out well for the Bears. I would hope they take Ault if he's still there at 9, but that's highly unlikely. Still, could be left choosing between Odunze or Verse.

Agreed. Everything I heard is the Bears were sold on him from a physical standpoint a long time ago. They've spent most of their time vetting who he is as a person.

That's awesome. I see Andrean still has Chatard on their schedule and Hanover Central also picked up Chatard.

Who knows as one angy Chicago radio caller just said, Caleb could be the Black Baker Mayfield. My fear on this miss doesn't come from Daniels or Maye. Between those 2, I would take Maye. Here's me being picky: I don't like how smiley Daniel's is when losing. And I think he's benefitted greatly from Brian Kelley's offense and the WR's he has. Maybe I'm wrong and he's like Burrow was and is playing at an NFL level himself with NFL WR's. My fear is McCarthy becomes the best QB in this draft. He just strikes me as a Tom Brady guy that can lead a team of men, get excellence from his teammates and never be afraid of a challenge. I rewatched that Rose Bowl game during some down time over the weekend. That kid is loved by his teammates.
