    With regard to Cathedral. I never look at their enrollment. I look at their district, which basically encompasses a metro of 2 million. I'm not picking on them, in fact I have the upmost respect for Catholic football teams, but lets be real here. They aren't some tiny little school that beats up on their three times larger counterparts.

    They have less kids than Roncalli and about 150 more than Brebeuf yet I’ve never once seen you make the argument that Roncalli or Brebeuf need to be in 6A despite being located in the same county with the ability to draw from the same “2 million people”.

    Agree. Merrillville and Cathedral are both in their rightful classes now. It should make the tournament more exciting. The Pirates are playing schools their own size now and so is Cathedral. 

    Cathedral now playing schools their own size?? 
     

    Uhh Cathedral hasn’t played in their enrollment based classification since the inception of the Success Factor and will have a thousand less kids than the next smallest 6A school.

    Schedule is still open for that game, or at least per MaxPreps.  I assume it will be a home game.  Irish only have two home games on schedule for next year....so all the bickering about Arlington will be kept to a minimum!

    Center Grove-Cathedral Semi-State part deaux for Semi-State at Arlington in the snow is the game this board deserves.

    247 seems to believe my assessment regarding each team’s ceiling is fairly accurate.

    Thoughts?

    I think Indiana CAN win 7 games next year, but wouldn't bet on it. Indiana is capable of beating:

    Illinois

    Idaho

    Western Kentucky

    Nebraska

    Maryland

    Rutgers

    Purdue

    And while I don't foresee Indiana beating Cincinnati or MSU on the road, those are two teams Indiana played extremely last year who will almost certainly take a big step back. 

    I will be happy with bowl eligibility this year, and while it's definitely an uphill climb, it's not unrealistic.

    I wouldn't worry too much about a talent deficit at CHS when 50 universities are lined up at the door to get in , including 9 BT schools and ND, to visit with their athletes.  

    Not questioning their talent, they have plenty. But unlike the last two years, they’re replacing almost 20 multi-year starters. That’s not always easy especially playing up two classes.

    Take with these with a grain of salt as it is pretty difficult to find information on teams in the off season. Any insight is appreciated

    6A favorites: Cathedral

    Can win it all: Ben Davis, Carmel, CG, Westfield, Warren Central

    Longshots: HSE

    5A favorites: Decatur Central, Merrillville

    Can win it all: Michigan City, Valpo, FW Dwenger, FW Snider

    Longshots: Harrison WL

    4A favorites: Roncalli

    Can win it all: Mount Vernon, East Central, Evansville Memorial, Leo

    Longshots: Kokomo, Brebeuf, Northridge, New Pal, New Prairie, Lowell

    3A favorites: Chatard

    Can win it all: West Lafayette, Mishawaka Marian, Lawrenceburg

    Longshots: Western Boone, Danville, Tri-West

    2A favorites: Andrean

    Can win it all: Evansville Mater Dei, Eastside, Fort Wayne Luers, Eastbrook

    Longshots: LCC, Indy Scecina, Linton-Stockton

    1A favorites: Adams Central, Indy Lutheran

    Can win it all: Pioneer, Park Tudor, Covenant Christian

    Longshots: North Judson, Churubusco, Parke Heritage

    Not sure Cathedral is THE favorite but definitely up there. Loaded at the skill positions but do have to replace the entire offensive line and 8-9 defensive starters.

    Since when do coaches get 12 to 15 years to rebuild programs in the current environment?

    He’s a Purdue fan hoping IU keeps Allen forever. It’s funny because I had the same thoughts about Brohm until this year. Things can change in an instant.

    I'll be OK, but thanks for trying to call me out.  

    I’m calling you out because your statement is completely unfounded. When and if Yanni becomes an All-American and a first round draft pick you can then say they are comparable players. Yanni needs to worry about getting on the field first however.

    Ive already checked out.  havent watched an ncaa tournament game in years

    That's unfortunate. That run little St. Peter's went on was one of the more impressive things I've seen in quite awhile.

    Rarely could you see a player progress from freshman to senior.  Team rosters endured massive overhauls from one year to the next.  One and done, coaching scandals, diminished rivalries all contributed to the general lack of interest and attention to the game.

    NIL is going to start keeping players in college longer. A non-guaranteed first rd pick has the ability to make more in college than they potentially do in the G-League. The one and done rule has nothing to with the NCAA and is strictly on the NBA, players should be allowed to go professional straight from high school, it would alleviate part of that problem.

    Need folks’ thoughts on this graphic.

    5F8AB7F5-47E6-43D2-841E-343E6EA4FBBC.png

    Two things stick out.

    1. How good is Luke Fickell?

    2. Is there a coach in America who consistently does less with more than James Franklin? It’s embarrassing that he’s still employed.

  11. 10 minutes ago, HHF said:

    Well youve given him credit for nothing.  Thats what your words imply.  Id say he has had a huge impact on the development of all of their QBs and wide receivers, which are all over the NFL. or at least were until recently.

    Uh no. 

    Brian Hartline is revered as the best wide receivers coach in college football and is easily the best recruiter Ohio State has. He's also the passing game coordinator.

    Ryan Day is the QB guy and has been his area of expertise since he's been in coaching. 

    Kevin Wilson is an OL/TE guy. He's integral in scouting and game day preparation, nobody is refuting that. But the offense Ohio State runs is the same offense Ryan Day implemented when he was hired at Ohio State as the offensive coordinator. The offense is tailored by Day.

    Im happy for the kid.  But I can also be against the deceptive misinformation that is allowed to circulate This is one of the more egregious variance to reality that I can recall seeing for an ultra high level recruit.  

    Disinformation from who? Do you really think Ohio State thought they were getting a 6’5 kid and we’re taken aback when a 6’3 Curry showed up on campus as if they’ve never seen or talked to him in person before???

  13. 4 minutes ago, HHF said:

    I believe the disinformation over his HT/WHT will come back on him at some point.  Clearly, the OSY staff can see what is right in front of them.  But they are also incentivized to hit recruiting numbers and rankings based on player ratings.  Curry was just short of 5 star status.  That helps push the OSU overall recruiting results up a notch or two.  Staff might overlook some shortcomings, so to speak.

    Note 247 analyst Allen Trieu's overall assessment and comments below :

     

    While 247Sports national recruiting analyst Allen Trieu notes that Curry "comes across as more compact than his listed size," the projection includes an NFL future and a "very high floor" thanks to his performance against good competition in high school. 

    Very productive, disruptive player. Even when he is not the one making the play, he is consistently affecting offenses with his penetration. Gets off the snap quickly and shows the agility to get skinny and get through the line or win with a spin move. Shows violence with his hands. Is able to pursue because he can change directions but also pursues hard. At his best when penetrating, can still get stronger to be able to hold ground against the run more especially projecting him going against stronger college players. Seems extremely high floor because of the way he plays and production against good competition in high school. Still looking for a true verified measurement on him, but a legitimate high major difference maker. Could play end in an odd front or tackle in an even front.

    You’re looking way too deep into this. There’s no way OSU recruited Curry on the presumption of his ht/wt in the Center Grove game day program. Every high school kid in America fudges their ht/wt on the game day program to look bigger and badder. Our high school RB was 5’10 200 lbs who was 6 foot 225 lbs in the football program and 6’4 200 lbs 3 months later in the basketball program. This has been happening for 50+ years.
