I was hoping Illinois State would have gotten Samuels. Nice gets for those schools.
SDSU is a hell of a program.....and they also pay a pretty hefty cost of attendance which it's rivals in the State of Illinois do not (SIU/ISU)
It's a great program and the fact they play a somewhat "local" road schedule likely factored into it. He had an NIU offer (I saw him on his visit).
I heard he chased down a deer and dug up some delicious roots, then started a fire, and proceeded to make a tremendous backstrap stew.
This has to be the fastest D1 commitment flip I've ever seenChase Clark just flipped to Purdue
Purdue Flips Chase Clark from Oklahoma State Football Commitment
When it comes to college football recruiting, this is why player commitments are non-binding.www.si.com
I have the MC list if you want it. You can check the high profile kids twitter of instagrams too.
I think its a good move for Chase - Purdue is closeby and is in Big Ten. I think MC has at least 8 roster players formally committed and another 8 with FBS offers. Man that is a loaded team.
Kid from Plainfield (forgot which one)? He’s been talked about on here for a few months as potential starter option, FWIW.
Jenny… I was just expecting names
They didn't dominate every team they played. They beat Moeller by a point, Fenwick by a touchdown, and Loyola redux by less than a touchdown. However...
This is rarefied territory, visited by only three teams in state history: Murphysboro in 1947, the WIU Lab School in 1967, and the famous Pittsfield squad in 1970, who were all unbeaten, untied, and unscored upon. This was in the pre-playoff era, so it would be much harder now, but that doesn't take away from their accomplishment.
To my knowledge, only three teams in the playoff era have gone through the playoffs without giving up a point.
JCA's long and illustrious history includes that brilliant march through the playoffs in '78. However, the trifecta eluded them, which only shows how hard it is to be perfect for 14 games. Joliet Central, Joliet West, and Marian Catholic all scored on the Hilltoppers in the regular season. Oddly, the only record I found says that JCA played Marian Catholic twice that year, on 9/22 and 9/29. Do you know if this is accurate?
I'm not questioning your memory or your math, but I had to look it up because, like everyone here, I love the history of this great game as much as its present. The Roadrunners won their first state title--also Racki's first at the school--in 2014 with an undefeated 14-0 season. But it doesn't look like Naz had 10 or 11 running clocks. As far as I can tell, six or seven is probably more like it. But hey, who's counting? It was still a great season with an impressive number of blowouts. And I may be wrong. The record isn't entirely forthcoming.
Everything I post, serious as a heart attack, Jack. Have you not read my weekly reports on completely random teams during the season?
