roaringthunderdlr Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 The game is not at Andrean! It is at Eastside! I was listening to the commentators on the Eastside game week say this, if it’s Andrean it’s a home game. Plus Maxpreps and Harrell say it’s at Eastside too. Also, Laban Davis is the real deal. Bowen this, Bowen that, the Eastside QB will be the best player on the field on Friday and I expect a Blazer victory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here was his production against LaVille: Offense: 14 carries for 99 yards (7.1 Avg) and 3 TD's 1 Reception for 7 Yards Defense: 4 Total Tackles 1 TFL 1 INT that he returned 30 Yards You must be hard to impress. He's only a Junior. Were you expecting to see someone who is already a starting LB at ND? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His production against LaVille on both side of the ball looked dominating to me, but what do I know? You sound bitter. Are you a disgruntled LaVille fan? That's a nice definitieve statement you ended with. Any logicial reasoning you care to share for your opinion? I know you're not on the ND staff since he's going to Notre Dame. What have you seen about him that you think the coaches at Notre Dame, Clemson, Arkansas, Auburn, Cincinnati, Kentucky, LSU, Michigan, Michigan State, Oklahoma State, Ole Miss, Oregon, Penn State, Tennessee, Texas, Texas A&M, Ohio State, etc. are all missing? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Kiser was pretty dominant as a freshman😳 He almost beat LCC great team of 2015 by himself. Incredible performance by a freshman against two D-1 recruits in regional game I too am a little suspect of the star ratings system. Truly a 5-star should have been best player last year for Andrean. I would argue not in their top 4-5 players. He is very good player and may end up superstar but at this time IMO not on board there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he has more success in terms of production than Barajas. Edited November 15, 2021 by CICairRAID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the past is any indication of the future, he should probably just join former Andrean baseball stars Sean Manaea and Mike Brosseau and trade in football for a MLB career.

BACKSIDEBELLY Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think if Eastside can execute the same game plan that they did against Luers, then they have a great chance of pulling this game out. I just haven’t seen much film on Andrean. I think that they run a similar offense that Luers ran. I really hope this game will be streamed! Best of luck to the Blazers!! Bring home the hardware!!

I would argue not in their top 4-5 players. He is very good player and may end up superstar but at this time IMO not on board there LCC beat Pioneer 31-14 in that regional game, not exactly a nail-biter. I know the game was closer than the score shows, but you kind of knew if you were there LCC never really felt super threatened. Also Pioneer graduated arguably one of the the best classes they have had go through the program that year with a lot of good seniors including Jack's older brother Sam. Jack played really well that game, but I think even he would tell you he didn't make it a good game all on his own. Also, not trying to take anything away from Jack Kiser, but he played a heavy 1A schedule and also played 1A competition in the playoffs every year. Being at Andrean, Bowen plays a lot of bigger schools as well as a 2A playoff schedule. Would Jack still be dominate at a 2A level? Most definitely. Would Bowen look even more dominate playing Caston, Triton, Knox, and others in that league? Most definitely. I don't think its fair to compare the numbers or how dominate one looks over the other based on this. As for the 5-star, it has to do with the potential the kid still has. He's only a junior, and as far as build goes, the kid looks like he knows where the weight room is and visits it often. I think he will do just fine at ND. The physical tools are there, and ND is a good program for coaching players up, especially at the position he will probably play. Being a former college player that has experienced 5 years of playing, that first redshirt year will do wonders for him. He's not going to be ready to go day 1, but he will get where he needs to be to have success at ND long-term. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a "one OR the other" situation. Just because Jack Kiser was amazing does not mean that Bowen is not also a fantastic football player. Big time football programs offered Bowen for a reason. Those staffs are paid tons of money to win games and they wouldn't offer a 5 star LB if they thought he was just an ok football player. I get that programs can be wrong in their evaluation of recruits, but just because Kiser put up better numbers than Bowen does not make him a lesser player. You really can't compare the level of competition that Pioneer and Andrean face. How about we just appreciate the fact that both players are extremely talented??? That being said, you can't count Eastside out because they have a special athlete in Laban Davis. I'm not sure if Davis really has any offers to play at the next level, or if he is even interested in doing so, but he could definitely contribute to a college program. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowen is also a standout in baseball and plans to do both at ND. Only time will tell how he does in either, but as long as he doesn’t show up to ND out of shape (Barajas) he’ll be off to a better start.
