Local Kids succeeding at the next level
- Thread starter CCLB sucks
- Start date
Cooper only started at LT because Laremy Tunsil is suspended. Cooper has had an interesting route
I did intentionally because I was undermining my "West lacks talent" argument and I needed to keep the number down.
I also forgot Andrew Larkin playing at Harvard I believe.
I realize that GW has produced some great ball players. I also have seen so many kids go from being backups on the JV junior year to become all-area in their senior year. Those kids didn't possess D1-D3 talent. Yet when they step into that system, they play well beyond their "talent."
I could go on about how Hetlett intentionally ensures he has at least 6-8 junior starters every year so that he doesn't get caught graduating 22 starters. I will admit GW has studs, but I stand by GWs victory per stud ratio against anyone.

DaVaris Daniels got waived by the Vikings and Pats. Evan Spencer was signed and then released due to injury by the Redskins.
Evan Spencer had a good career at Ohio State and was drafted by the Redskins but got injured and released. Davaris Daniels got booted from ND for "academic dishonesty" and went undrafted

James Butler had a day for Nevada today, 177 and a score. Back to back by weeks.
Zach Mahoney from Lyons Township passed for 154 yds and 3 TDs against LSU for Syracuse yesterday.
Jake Bernstein of CL South started for Vanderbilt on the O-Line yesterday. His teammate and good friend at CL South was Cooper Fahn, who started on the O-Line for Ole Miss in their game against each other yesterday.
It could be argued pretty successfully that Jack Allen is the best center in the country, not sure if LT is quite the best WR, as Corey Davis and Jordy Westy are having better statistical years. He's up there right now though, as he's doing it against SEC competition.
Great list Idea
Best IL Players in CFB in 2015
1. Jack Allen
2. LT
3. Ethan Pocic
4. Corey Davis
5. Dean Lowry
6. Jordan Westerkamp
7. Justin Jackson
8. Steve Richardson
9. Dan Voltz
10. Josh Ferguson
11. Simmie Cobbs
12. Mike Lucas,
13. Nick Mangieri
14. Jordan Walsh
15. James Butler
IF Dudek was healthy, I would say he would be somewhere 5-10, what would you say?
Right ahead of Westerkamp, but below Davis and Lowry.
I'm not an Illini guy, despite my sister and other family going there, but I root for local kids that go there 100%. I PRAY he comes back 100%, because he was on pace for a silly career. I hope the new staff keeps a passing offense, just so he can stay productive in the slot.
He would have been arguably the best SLOT WR in the country, I just love Corey Davis as a player. He's awesome, and Dudek wasn't there yet.
WWS last season had both Davis's, and Dan Vitale at H-Back. That's a winning trio right there.
This season you still can have a killer DVC skill group with Thorson, JJ, Corey Davis, Vitale, and Troy Fumagalli [who's not playing much but I think will pan out]

That's a pretty impressive list for a school the size of CM that maybe wouldn't be thought of as a long time Illinois football powerhouse. (Not trying to say anything negative)
No offense taken. We have been blessed with very athletic kids who have bought into the program. Every BCS school has been inside our campus the last 4 years. And the next three years it should continue.
Wow, Standifer at EIU. Did he go straight there? I remember when UM toyed with him, and Ole Miss. It was a sad situation IMO.
Given Crete's run of talent and what they have in the pipeline, you really have to wonder what Jerry Verde thinks of his decision to leave Crete for Marian Catholic. I know Marian is his alma mater, but Marian does not even have the numbers to field a Freshmen team this year. Yikes...
U of San Diego Tackle, Fenwick Grad Daniel Cooney scored Saturday on a tackle eligible. Gotta love the big guys getting some love and pub 6'8" 315lbs
Jerry followed his dream. I'm am an Alumni to. But I know the politics behind the screen.
He fell into the trap. They say they are trying to rebuild but they give Jim an appetizer. Not the whole meal
Ohio State at Indiana right now on ABC -- 5 players who attended Montini on these rosters....

True. Never played football at Montini. He played basketball at Montini. Probably would have beat SHG two years ago in the state title game if Simmie were on the team.

Indeed it is. Least I got it right in a previous post on Mr. Cooper. I am 50, so you need to cut me some slack, bretepic.
