- Thread starter Anon1754760634
- Start date
How about Isaiah Rucker, dropback QB from Crete-Monee, who is a junior-to-be? He is every bit of the 6-5 height posted on their MaxPreps roster and is likely to add to the 195-lb. listing.
Justin Kolzow - 2018 QB at Oswego East. Threw for 19 TD's; 4 rushing TD's. 62% completion ratio. 148 NCAA Passer Eff
To be 100% transparent, Justin is my son.

Is it safe to assume that all the QB prospects you named are actually kids that you work with in your program?
Actually no it's not. We don't. We train at EFT. However, any athlete that does train with him is blessed! He produces! The proof is in the pudding!
Rucker largely played in a specialized, 5-wide offensive grouping that was subbed in periodically. See a couple throws and his arm is something special. Likely to be a big break-out year for the kid in 2016 after sharing time with a very productive senior power-running QB (Clint Ratkovich) in '15.
Koz, was that the starting QB against Plainfield South that got hurt later in the game?
Jacob Keller fenwick 6"3 can scramble has a a strong arm and a great leader
John Gladstone- has a strong arm, can control the game, can scramble out the pocket

No, Justin did not get injured against Plainfield South. He went 33-53 for 258 yards against South. Please remember, he was playing sophomore ball.
Evan Lewandowski - Lake Zurich
Daniel Hill - Waukegan
Both are big pro style QBs with Big Arms. Both are just sophomores this season but will start and play well for their respective teams as Juniors next season. Hill was a varsity starter at Waukegan at TE last as a sophomore and entered the game when Waukegan needed a big pass play. Lewandowski sophomore team was 8-1 only loss was to undefeated Cary a Grove.

Hearing lots of good things about Lewandowski around the circuit. He could really have a breakout year
Zach Stevens, Transfer to Nazareth academy. St. Patrick freshman stats: 1373 yds. ,19 tds. 5 ints. 3 rushing tds. QB rating 156. Sophmore/Varsity stats: 1597 yards, 22 tds, 8 ints, QB rating 165. 6'2" 165 lbs. split time between sophmore team and varsity team at st. pats. Will need to work hard and earn varsity starting position at Naz as a junior.
He came up from Sophomore week 3. he had 127 completions 1500 yards with 20 touchdowns.
Boyle, Herion and Marwede.
All at once, in the Notre Dame Box Offense.

Now that Steven Frank is gone from the SPC conference, how about Johnny Carnagio at Minooka? Not the best size, but heart has no size
You can go ahead and name your son like everyone else in this thread.
LOL. Guilty as charged, so I might as well.
Steven Migut class of 2018 Tolono Unity Rockets (Champaign/Urbana area)
Varsity qb as a sophomore, led team to the 3A championship. 2nd place in state.
Dual Threat
Stats : 127-210 1781 yards 14TD/4int 139 rushes-1055 yards 21 rushing touchdowns
Thank you at least a soph playing at the varsity level. I was getting tired of reading lower level stats.
Josh Bean is definitely one to watch. Very solid Junior season on a talent-filled team. Won't split time this year so he's now the guy. Between he, Bryant at LT and Hunt at OPRF that West Suburban Silver has 3 dudes.
Derek Kyler - Dekalb
Saw him play against Hinsdale South in the 2nd round of the playoffs in 2014 as a sophomore. Loved watching him play. Athletic, southpaw, can throw the ball, just looked smooth out there. Probably my favorite QB of the 2016 class.
Isaiah Rucker - Crete Monee
Saw him play against Hinsdale South in the semi-finals last year, he was good (not great) but you can tell he will be very good. Especially when he gets all the reps and has the talent around him that is expected to have. He'll be a junior this year and will be fun to watch.
Josh Bean - Hinsdale Central
He can run and throw, got a lot of time last year. Dual threat QB's are back breakers for defenses and he'll be one of them. He'll be the reason why Hinsdale Central finally takes down Glenbard West this year. #bookit.

Boys, probably not best to bet here because some have a habit not to pay up! Not saying either of you wont but...
Failed to specify: pizza dough or cookie dough?
Hmmm, maybe when the game gets closer I'll bet you a medium deep dish Lou Malanati's pizza (two toppings).
In all seriousness what all does West have coming back besides Moorehead? Seems like the are losing a ton, granted I am not very tied in on what is actually going on with the program.
I don't know either but it's one of those programs that is well run, has a great feeder system and a good off-season weight lifting program. Even though I think the head coach might be in the top 5 for immature coaches in the state, he still runs a very good program.
They're Sophs looked like a varsity team last year. Weight room, fundamentals and being coach able. Those are the kids they get. Mix 1-2 stud athletes in there and you get state championships.
