From this morning's paper.

___________________________________________

Underrated?

The top 10 area seniors still waiting on a major-college offer:

RB Kenneth Burks (5-8, 185), Mansfield: Ran for 1,885 yards, 23 touchdowns as a junior and was leading the area in rushing with 907 yards and nine scores through five games in 2012 before tearing his ACL.

RB Larry Cheeks (5-9, 170), Crowley: The second-team all-state selection as a senior led Crowley to an undefeated District 8-4A title by rushing for 1,923 yards and 23 touchdowns. Cheeks amassed more than 4,100 yards and 40 touchdowns on the ground as a three-year starter for the Eagles.

DB Andre Chineme (6-0, 195), Arl. Bowie: His best fit at the next level is at safety, but spent most of the 2012 season at linebacker for the District 3-5A champs. Chineme is a fast, aggressive player who routinely delivers punishing hits.

QB Quade Coward (6-4, 210), Cleburne: The District 8-4A MVP threw for 3,270 yards, 36 touchdowns and rushed for 603 yards, 15 scores to lead Cleburne back to the playoffs for the first time since 2002.

WR Nathan Crouch (6-3, 180), Colleyville Heritage: The big target runs a 4.5-second 40 and wins most jump balls as a deep threat, averaging 18.6 yards per reception in 2012. Crouch caught 56 passes for 1,039 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2012.

QB Austin Henyon (6-1, 190), FW Trinity Valley: Threw for 2,554 yards and 23 touchdowns as a junior, then 1,416 yards and seven scores, along with 350 yards and eight scores rushing, in just seven games in 2012.

DB Tanner Jacobson (5-10, 185), Southlake Carroll: Tallied 311 tackles and six interceptions as a three-year starter for the Dragons. Won two district championships and a state title as a starter. Averaged almost 16 yards a punt return in 2012.

OL Andreau Kirby (6-3, 340), Euless Trinity: It's rare when a Trojans offensive lineman goes unnoticed, but Andreau only played one full season after suffering minor injuries earlier in his career. The all-district and Super Team selection uses a great combination of power and surprising athleticism at the point of attack.

RB Aaron Stevenson (6-0, 190), FW Western Hills: The second team all-state and Star-Telegram Super Team selection rushed for 1,880 yards and 17 touchdowns as a senior. With good size and speed (4.5-second 40-time) he should have several big-school offers.

DB Matt Waller (5-11, 215), Arl. Martin: A three-year starter at safety, the two-time first-team all-district performer played on all special-teams units and added quarterback to his résumé midway through his senior season. Waller collected 254 tackles and nine interceptions over his career.

Colleyville Heritage has one of the highest rated QB's in the country. Just think about how many FBS college coaches have looked at their film and set foot on their campus. Not one of them offered Crouch. That is saying something. A lot of these kids play at schools that are very heavily recruited yet they have no offers. I don't think they are being overlooked.

I agree. Something does not add up. The numbers must not be telling the whole story with him.

Very good point.

      So true, Americans LOVE football and there are no football fans in that crowd. It reflects horrifically on UNT but a percentage of these haters are surely from the TWU community.

      Why the NCAA model is dying and will be replaced

      It’s absolutely ridiculous that some college athletes make more than professional athletes. Makes me think of the old Sports Illustrated bit: Signs of the Apocalypse. I stated this in another thread, but I strongly believe that the players are not the engine that drives the machine, it’s the universities. Ive got a theory that I believe to be true and hopefully I am able to explain it in a way that makes sense. Let’s say that next year, all the talent dropped a level. So Alabama, etc. had the talent usually associated with UNT. UNT had the talent usually associated with SFA. SFA had the talent usually associated with aTm Commerce, etc., etc. Most fans won’t care and most won’t notice the drop off in talent. All most fans care about is their team winning. If we had the talent level of SFA, but we won the American, no one would care that we’re not as talented. I’ll even go a step further and say that must fans would think we were better. Bottom line is that the universities are the ones making the money, not the players. No one is forcing them to play. If they don’t want to play for FREE tuition, don’t play. There’s a line of people wanting to take their place. I was working 25-30 hours a week in a warehouse while going to college, so forgive me if I don’t have sympathy for people who have the opportunity to do something that I wasn’t quite talented enough to do. **That being said, I don’t have a problem with legitimate NIL**

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      So hard to watch this team crumble when everything's on the line. It's happened all season. No excuse for losing this game. Sure the bats were cold, but this is completely on our pitching staff. DeLong has to find us better pitchers with more mental toughness for next season. I can't believe a team this senior heavy that has done what they've done, can't play better than what we are watching. I'll go ahead and say it now. this team (especially the pitching staff) isn't mentally tough enough to win the conference tournament.
