WR/DB Jeff West from Holy Cross and possibly FB/LB Robert Walker

It sounds like Thomas More has some nice talent coming in with Hank WR (Scott), Dettmer WR (Dixie), West WR (HC), Bricking QB (Dixie) Molony RB (Dixie), Deck QB (Scott), and maybe Walker RB (HC).

Rumor has it that a former head football coach from New Richmond High Schol made that until he was let go.

I'm not sure if he's trying out or not. But I did hear the reason he transferred from Kings was due to academics. Don't know this to be fact, but I heard it from a reliable source.

I have heard (but not confirmed)that another HC player is headed to TM. The full back Robert Walker.

HC always has some playmakers. The coaching is a little to be desired. The 06 and the 07 teams was IMO the best teams HC has had since they started the program. The 06 team needed disipline, the 07 team needed the right plays for curtain players and spread the O around. Not run the ball every play of every down. JMO

Holy Cross has few players. Here are their names and the class they'll be next yr. Andy Ronker(jr), Mike Sullivan (sr), Donnie Stowers(jr), Brad Harold (sr), Brad Cooper (sr) They're all nice player!!!

Mike Sullivan of Holy Cross is going to be a beast to contend with.

Nope not at all.

First I want to say Eric does deserve this chance to play at the next level and I am truely happy for the young man. He'll do well for himself. I have heard from a very reliable source that the head coach has bent over backwards to get Eric into Holy Cross and that is wonderful.....But he has not helped any of the other seniors get into college. I have a real problem with this. How does this make the other seniors feel and what does this show the other up and coming players? It tells me if I have any chance to play at the next level........I need to play at a winning program such as Beechwood, NCC or Highlands. I have read past post of how the "coaches circle" has a problem with the head coach of HC and now I can see why.

I heard from a very reliable source that Peko has not committed yet. But him and another player from Highlands is real close.

Correct

Congrats Jake!!!!! Didn't Peko commit to Union yesterday?

Keep up the hard work Eric!!!! Nice job!!!!

I'm not saying that at all. Is what I'm trying to stress is that parents/players like the hipe or the recognition that they play D1 football. Not necessarly the best fit for the kid. On some of these threads kids are not getting atheletic scholarships but "walk on" or "Preferred walk on". My son was offered a "preferred walk on" spot for Dayton and Duke. The coach explained the differences. A walk on shows up to practice about 2 weeks after the rest of the team and has to earn a spot. A preferred walk on shows up to practice the same time as the rest of the team, does not have to have to try out, and does not receive a scholarship. Can earn a scholly the next yrs. after. Basicly he was real and also mentioned that a preferred walk on is a gratitude gesture saying the kids has talent, could make it, but we'll see. If anyone has more info on this or if I'm wrong, please correct me.

OK:rolleyes:

Cody is a better punter then a QB. Although IMO he shows some inconsistency at punting. But when he gets a hold of one.........look out. it's a boomer!

Did former Cincinnati Reds reserve outfielder Tracy Jones' son transfer from Kings to a Northern KY School? I hear he is a great shortstop. He already has more talent then his dad ever had.

I spoke to a source and he mentioned a number of D1 schools that had contacted Jeffrey but not sure of any offers. From what the source said, Jeffrey is interested in a private school for the education although he will play football. Those schools included some good ones. Centre, Ohio Northern, Hanover, Union, Mt. Union, Cumberland, Carroll College, Thomas More to name a few.

Althought some kids/parents want the big head of stating that they/my kid plays at a D1 college. Sure, like I stated before my boy has the opportunity to play bigger, does he want.......no, he likes the small school for the education. He realizes the education is his future.......not football. I/he does not have that ego to pursue a D1 college.

Not to take anything away from Mr. Reardon, congrats!!!! This was anounced last week and Cody is walking on. Not a scholarship. If anyone has heard differently, the floor is yours.

My son has been approached by a number of D1 schools to play football. In some cases just because a kid is playing DIII doesn't mean he's not able or have the ability to play D1. My son has chosen to play DIII simple because of the education. In any college, you go for the education. How many kids go on to play in the pros? Not many......

Word has it that a Holy Cross kid is going to Southern Illinois for football.

Turner started at Holmes in the early early eighties as an asst. coach. He coaches me when I played.

I’ll tell you……at my son’s HS……..the only thing they do is give you a highlight DVD 6 wks after your last game. And maybe talk to a college coach if they come to the school. I have logged many, many, many hours at my computer or on the phone getting my son’s name out. College coaches has called my house (colleges I had not contacted) wanting to speak to my son. Some of the colleges are: Georgetown Hoyas, College of Holy Cross, Duke University, EKU, WKU, Ohio Northern, Findley, Marshall, Hanover, Mt. Union, this is to name a few. Once I received the highlight DVD, I made 30 copies and mailed them out to the colleges that requested them. If my son gets into a college and plays football…..I contribute it to my efforts not the schools. I strongly suggest that if your son or daughter has the grades and is talented in a sport, choose your HS wisely. If I had to do it all over again, We would have choose one with better program, a proven program, coaches who help kids live their dream.
