Coach Kelly is a stand up leader of men. Seymour fan here and I can tell you that records don’t speak to this coaches ability. Seymour is starved for talent, size, athletes and has gone up a class to 5a due to a 38% Hispanic rate (overall) which we don’t get the benefit of added players. It’s a tough place to be competitive. With that being said- Kelly has done about as good a job as anyone could.

we hate to see him go, but understand the move to a more target rich area. He’s a no nonsense, do your job kind of coach.

I absolutely agree after looking at their roster and hearing that he has connections to the area and is a strong offensive guy!  🙂

Good for him then wish him nothing but the best!

Good luck Coach and do your thing! Hope you nothing but the best!

Obviously this pick happened due to something outside of records. Maybe he assisted somebody back in the day. Because Seymour has never been better than average.

Watching the defensive film, he reminds me a bit of Dan Hampton.  Long and lean.  

QBs are too important in todays game, so he will become a mega millionaire protecting some QBs backside in the NFL.

 

Agreed!

At his size offensive tackle would be ideal! Get his weight up to 325+ with his speed. To big to play Defensive end. Maybe could play interior tackle in a 4-3 but not 3-4 unless he got above 340+ at that height.

Sounds like a great athlete! Hopefully with what it sounds like is freakish ability he can be a presence for years to come.  good luck!

I do understand but that is why they always used to send a recruiting coordinator or lower tear coach to games. Wasn't trying to be an a** just have noticed more out of state and d2 or naia coaches at games than i have seen d1 coaches.

Not to sure what is going on in this state when it comes to recruiting! I have heard from most of the in state d1 colleges and they do not go to games anymore. They just watch highlights. D1 schools in this state are missing on alot of in state talent. 

I agree with this for the most part! I believe you have to work with talent you have been dealt with. At most 4a-6a programs you have enough talent that you can run different offenses due to just having to fine tune or coach them up.

At most 1a-3a programs the better coaches have to develop talent. Meaning your either like Eastbrook and develop talent from the youth level as Adamson definitely has and gets his kids to believe in his run 1st offense and has quality coaches helping at the lower levels 

Or

You are like the rest of the coaches that struggle year in and year out. This can be due to fear of change, lack of coaching knowledge and or not being fully vested in your kids and being poor at reading your players strengths. These are the coaches that run the RPO at lower levels to hide their deficiencys as a coach and lack of talent. 

The coaches who know how to adjust on the fly when it isn't working are the ones who are successful! 

Very innovative with offense. Great hire!

You don't get it, this has nothing to do with not allowing these athletes to follow their dreams or enjoy their time in college. It 's about a big time coach luring theses guys with a status that guarantees nothing. Taking them away from possibly enrolling at ISU, Ball State and all the other smaller schools here in the state. If Allen sees so much in these young men, then pony up with the guarantee money. 

If he saw so much in them he would have offered them a scholarship! Oh by the way Allen is not a big time Coach! He isn't even upper echelon in the big 10 let alone the ncaa fbs. He is an ok coach who had a mediocre rise due to unforeseen reasons. He is starting to earn his way but has a way to go..

Still do not understand why everyone continues to talk about this topic!

1. I promise IU (12)and Purdue (9) ranked big 10 recruiting did not talk these PWO'S into leaving scolarships. These young men made these choices for their future!

2. It is not affecting the fcs,d2 and naia schools. These big ten schools are barley pulling in talent that is netter than those of the smaller schools.i know of one naia school this year alone that has kids coming in from 7 states including florida and California. 

Again let these young men enjoy their time in college. Some may continue to follow their dream and some may not. They also may decide to pursue only their education. Also some may decide to transfer to one of the smaller schools.

Hope all these student athletes nothing but the best!

Listen there are schools who do a good job (maybe) and a horrible job of recruiting in this state! Most are D1! I was amazed at how much better the NAIA schools do in this state. My son just went through the process and said i would rather play and get noticed then be on the sideline and not. So he decided on an NAIA school due to how much more thorough they where. Anymore if you have the talent the pro teams will find you.

Let these kids live their lives. If they go to IU because they think that maybe their path let them dream. You never know!

Barnes would be a great interior pick!

Ya found out yesterday was glad to hear he got it! Great coach even better person!

I understand , yes, and I was being facetious, but sure ,the big state schools have all the drawing power ,within each respective state, to do exactly as you phrased it. 

Totally agree! Plus some of thes kids still have a pipe dream of starting at the D1 with a slight chance of moving on. My son is still weighing options but actually wants to play. He had moved his recruiting to more of the fcs,d2 and naia. If he is good enough to move on they will see him. If not he will move on with his education and career. Hope all the kids nothing but the best!

This comes from a Coach 1st and parent 2nd. Let the kids decide their future with your help or guidance! Do not be that parent that decides your childs future.

My son for example wants to play college football. He has been offered a few pwo's and multiple small school opportunities d2,naia.

He told me his love of the game to potentially play 3-4 more years and going to a college with structure helped him make his decision. 

Most of these pwo's will never see the field. So what! If they have the pipe dream that they may play and or slight chance they may grow and may have a chance of playing at the pro level who cares.

Pro's have come from all levels!

I hope these kids have their best interests in their decision making!

Thanks! Everyone stay safe this winter! See ya at the basketball games!

Eastbrook vs Western Boone

LCC vs Lutheran

Valpo vs New Pal

I think Western boone is much more balanced on offense! Eastbrook does truely believe in their coach and his offense. Whoever has the beeter defense in this one wins it! Taking Western boone i believe in a close one

Yep should be a great matchup! Western boone is definitely the more balanced attack!

Congrats Eastbrook on a hard fought win! Go get yourself a state title now!
