Conner QB Receives Invitation to Elite 11

[Imhisdad]

They may have to cancel the season I'm hearing. Numbers way down due to quitters.

 

Probably afraid to play SK. Apparently they scored 320 TDs in flag- oops I mean 7 on 7

[Clyde]

The ESPN person covering the event said he had the best performance of the 9 QBs.

 

OSU isn't in a hurry to offer any QBs just yet.

 

Here's the article I referenced:

 

Quarterback

Drew Barker (Hebron, Ky./Conner): This was one of the most highly anticipated battles, with Barker, DeShone Kizer, Caleb Henderson and Joey Duckworth all competing for an offer from the Buckeyes in the 2014 class.

 

While all four showed well, Barker was the best, demonstrating both touch and pinpoint accuracy. He did a terrific job leading receivers when he threw the long ball and showed zip on the short routes.

 

Honorable mention: Kizer, Duckworth.

Pat Towles offered to work out with Drew and work on throwing with him.

I hope he takes Towles up on his offer. I don't think he could find a finer player (and person) to emulate and learn from.

Trust me when I say he will take any time with PT he can get. Looks up to the guy. PT has been very nice and helpful .

There is no I in team does this kid ever practice with his team? I have heard some kids have been quitting the Conner football team.

 

As usual your claims are completely false.

What was I false about Cylde?

[Queen of Pink]

What was I false about Cylde?

 

No one has been quitting the team due to individual player attention or summer camps! A couple of non-starting transfers due to parent relocation. To assume that players are quitting the program based on your suggestions is absolutely crazy.

You claimed many kids quit the team. Not true.

My friends son played for Conner and quit because of the coach! He told me last week after I asked him how he was doing in 7 on 7. His father lives in SK's district so I told him to transfer to SK so he could play for a good team the kid I am talking about will be a Junior. Clyde I said some not many.

Its not unusual for kids in Boone County to quit football in HS. So many people start their kids in football in 1st grade in a win now league. By the time they are in HS, they have 10 years of football behind them and they are toast. Another challenge HS coaches face when kids start that young is unlearning bad habits and technique learned at a very young age.

So one is now "some?"

 

That's a loser post on your part, Chief. You're insinuating that there are some sort of problems (and even linked it to a kid) when in reality it's one kid who decided he didn't like the coach.

 

THIS is why you have the reputation you do.

[Bird Bath]

Chief some of his own tribe disowns him. Agree with post be happy for the kid and the attention he brings to NKY. I hope they make a run at state. One isn't some and I am certain this QB is a leader of the squad.

All the hype and he doesn't even play in Conner's scrimmage? I said a few weeks ago Conner will have a season like Dixie sounds like it just started.
