    He is not a D-1 RB. His fit is more of St. Francis, Marian, Eastern Illinois, and schools similar. 

     

    Leo vs Northridge will be closer than people expect and I think Leo wins by 7 points or less

    Yeah you're right,  D-1 might be a stretch but let me phrase it this way..  He has 30%ish of Leo's carries on the ground, avg 11+ypc with 1300yds and 19tds on the season.  If he was the centerpiece of their run game he would be 2000+ with 30tds or more.  That's not Leo's offense though.  

     

    And this game will not be close.. This is not the same Leo team from last year.

    Someone you didn't see last year is Sheron.  Missed his junior year due to injury after playing mainly DE his sophomore year.   Dude is a stud and I think had he not missed last year he would be getting way more college looks.  He's a D-1 RB.

     

    Good luck with him lol.

    Leo 32, East Noble 29

    Another crazy game between the two schools.  I think the first meeting came down to Leo converting that 4th and 8 with 2 minutes to go, and this game can be pin pointed to a couple plays here or there that would have changed the outcome again.  
     

    Really, really impressed with Barbour on that final drive.. Kid has ice in his veins.  
     

    Such a shame it had to come in the opening round.

    Isn't this a relatively new thing, though.?

    I'm a person of a certain age and, when i was young, you didnt even have freshmen on the varsity unless you were a small school.  Didnt matter how good they were. At schools of lets say, 1,000, freshman played JV and they dint question it.

    Now you have freshman and sophomores throwing the ball 20-30 times.  The game has changed.

    I agree with you here though.  All of sports has changed with the way kids nowadays train.  Outside of season specialized training is huge now compared to 20 years ago.  These 15/16yr old QB’s that are starting are probably better, more polished, and more physically mature than the upperclassmen back then.

    Here's the problem with that south-man.

    If you start a freshman QB, he wasnt even on the team last year, right? But you had a backup QB on the varsity and junior varsity QB and a freshman team QB.  

    You have to tell them all, they arent good enough. And if its the JV or the backup, then you have to tell them that even though they may have waited their entire life to play QB for the hometown team,  that they got beat out by a kid who isnt even in high school yet.

    You have to tell the entire senior class that their final shot at their football goals will be led by a kid who cant even drive. And if they dont like that, they can learn a new position or they can go run cross country. 

    See what I mean?

     

     

     

    None of that matters if the kids are buying into the coach and his program.  The best kids should be playing regardless of grade and the best programs do it in a heartbeat.
     

    If the other kids don’t agree with that then it’s on them.  It’s always a tough pill to swallow to be told someone took your spot though.  There’s a lot more to coaching than X’s and O’s and the best coaches are even better at the relationships part of their jobs than the “easy” stuff.

     

    That Hobart kid seems pretty dang good.
