Of course, Michael Jordan got cut from the varsity team when he was a Sophomore in HS, so there are exceptions.

 

Dusty Baker said that he was cut from his HS baseball team three times...even though his dad was the manager of the team!

^ Come mid-summer, I might think his dad was pretty smart!! (lol)

Thaaaaaaaats it! Perrrrfect!

 

No, you missed, "They want to be state champions in the worst (heavily emphasized w/ a smile) way."

So because one kid's Dad is on an HBO show and the colleagues mention the high school all of the sudden they are going to produce several kids running 4.4 forty yard dashes and bench pressing 400 lbs? Having a name like Collinsworth on your squad will probably bring more Div 1 coaches to games but that doesnt always gurantee they are going to be scratching bunches of names in their notepad. I think they have tons of talent, dont get me wrong and the kids work harder than most schools in KY but it takes a special player to be considered D-1 caliber.

 

Why not be reallistic and positive so the boys or players at least can dream. The Birds do have D1 caliber players and they're going to make us all believers!!!

I agree... The Bird's '07 campaign was positive in nature and I think that was the common thread that kept the boys playing to December 7th. Let's give the '08 squad every bit of support that can be mustered. They certainly deserve it in my book... GO BIRDS!

Unless people are saying, "there is no way that kid is ___ years old" while he is playing at every level of youth sports, then he is probably not going to be a Division 1 player. Those kids must be physical marvels to even get a chance to play Division 1. I couldn't agree more with those who say, who cares. There is NOTHING better than HS sports. I love to watch heart, and you see more of it in HS sports than at any other level because size and speed are not as important. So enjoy, it goes way to fast.

 

Great post. I also agree that there is nothing better than high school sports. And it does go WAY too fast.

Sorry man, I wasnt trying to be a downer. I am truly a realist but I am also a big fan of building kids up and pushing them to be greater than their potential. I truly wish the best for all of those kids and hope they all continue to work hard in the offseason. I hope we have the fastest, strongest kids in the state like we do every year.

Don't worry, as Coach Mueller tells the boys. They are not football players they are Navy SEALS!!!

And apparently working on being "Perfect" this offseason.

We know that Tony G. will be recruited by D1 schools all over the country. Cody Rosenhagen 1st team all-state def lineman. And if the birds win the 5A State championship again I honestly think that Josh Connor will be Mr. Kentucky Football. Anyone else???

 

I know Tony comes from a good football family...everyone knows that...but what makes you say "all over the country". I have seen him play a couple games and honestly, he was good...but D1? He has not done anything to be deserving of such a classification...
