Huge just huge - great job Coach Gandy! Welcome aboard John!

ICC's Weber honored by the MACJC (9/15/2008)

Itawamba Community College defensive end John Weber was named the defensive player of the week by the MACJC today (Monday) after his performance last Thursday night in the Indians 12-9 victory over rival, Northeast. The sophomore from Harvey, La. had 8.5 tackles overall, including two and a half sacks and two tackles for a loss.

"John had a heck of a game for us against Northeast," said ICC head coach Jeff Terrill, whose program has now captured 25 wins in the last 32 regular season games. "He is a really fine defensive end for us and would get more headlines if we didn't have an all-American (Pernell McPhee) at the other defensive end position."

Kenny Jackson is the defensive line coach at Itawamba and he agrees with his head coach's assessment on Weber.

"We all know Pernell is such a great athlete, but to be honest with you, John is actually more consistent than Pernell," said Jackson, who was a standout on the defensive line at Ole Miss before playing some for the Detroit Lions in the NFL. "He's a guy that will be definitely playing at a solid (NCAA) d'1 program next year."

Jackson added that most of the schools in Conference USA and the Sun Belt have shown a great deal of interest in the 6'3, 275 pound former all-state performer in high school, with Kentucky, the only school in the SEC that's recruiting him, as of now.

"I think we'll see John add 10 more pounds and at 285, he'll be playing defensive tackle for one of those division one schools next year at this time," said the fifth year assistant coach at ICC.

ICC will battle Northwest in a first place showdown in the north this Thursday night at 6:30 p.m. in Senatobia. You can listen to the game beginning at 6:10 p.m. on fm95 (95.7) and also on www.iccms.edu and www.fm95radio.com.

Excellent pick-up...Man, this class is looking better and better...Coach Dodge and his team are doing waht looks like a great job, and this class should be ranked pretty high in the SBC. Looks like some immediate help is on the way in some spots that needed some of that help. Nice...very nice.

I continue to say and believe...good things are happening at UNT these days.

      Its a different story when you are comparing blue blood programs. Alabama can recruit anyone from anywhere. Memphis can't (and still won't despite a fairly impressive NIL commitment).

      UTSA absolutely does not have a better location. SA is not a great area for HS football talent and they do not have deep NIL pockets. They are maximizing their value and holding the programs to a high standard. Good for them. But if you poll the vast majority of G5 coaches/administrators on which program has a better foundation I'd argue most would lean towards UNT.

      LOL. SMU is small potatoes in why college athletics is in its current state. You really think SMU was even the most egregious cheater in the 80's halcyon days? Get real. Paying players is as old as the game itself. What has changed in the last 10-15 years is the amplification of money via social media as well as TV contracts that have ballooned raising everything from coaches salaries to facilities to yes.....NIL. Blaming SMU for anything to do with where things are headed in college athletics is beyond stupid. Everything that's being done now is being directed by the TV suits. Nothing more. Nothing less. You're letting hatred blind you.

      You're spot on. But the university has been playing into that hippy weird BS for a long time, too. And we can bring demographics into this, too. And for good or bad, I don't know; nor do I really care. But conservative white boys/men is the driving force behind the consumption of and donating base to collegiate athletics. The university goes out of its way to diversify the enrollment. Which is fine and all, but it's just another variable pulling away from athletics. And there seems to be a lot of variables, controllable and uncontrollable. Why do you think the SEC can whip whoever they want with money at a moments notice? Answer: White conservative men throwing money at their collectives and scholarship funds.

      That's like saying Alabama is still Alabama stuck in Tuscaloosa. There was and is zero value placed in the education these kids receive, the free housing, meals, tutoring, healthcare, etc... when less than 5% will earn money in professional sports once they are done in college. 99% of these young men and women should be picking a school that has the major of their choosing and that has a track record of preparing them for their life after sports. Too many people are telling these kids to get all the money they can right now with zero thought about their education and the life lessons that should be being taught at this time.
