Reidsville Rams 2017-2018 Team ?
- Thread starter RamLife19
- Start date
I wondering how much of a fight RHS administration put up to avoid the less than desirable conference situation.
My guess is ZERO.
Actually they did protest. But as usual it fell on deaf ears
Did any seniors from a 16-0 state championship team get any football scholarships???...I saw where 0-11 Morehead got three..
As you know two are already enrolled in college. I've talked with parents of a couple more that have not committed like 8, 22, 66. Have talked to them since Christmas. QB is at app state and as you know 73 is at Carolina.
how many players did reidsville have to sign on signing day. Looked everywhere and couldn't find anything. I only saw in the paper where morehead signed two players.

Camps, grades, desire, work ethic, reputation, ability, size, and coach assistance all play a part in a players recruitment and hopeful signing.
But there are one or two Rams I am kinda baffled as to why their names didnt pop up?
The Rams have spent the past 8 weeks raising money for rings not promoting the kids to recruiters
Reidsville always has some great athletes...but most of our great ones are undersized and colleges look for the 6'3" guys that weight 220 plus...not many of those guys play for us....not saying the undersized guys don't deserve a look...just seems to be the case with recruiters.......................
Repeating what rambbq wrote, most of our guys just aren't tall enough or fast enough. Linemen need to be at least 6' 4" minimum to have the big schools recruit them. Some schools are setting their minimum at 6' 5" now. As good as #73 is, he just isn't tall enough to attract that kind of attention. Hopefully, things will work out for him in Chapel Hill. I know how selective things are because I have spent the last 50 years or so trying to get Reidsville players on a certain school's radar. Sometimes successful, sometimes not.
Why #18 never got much interest is a mystery to me.
We have had some great linebackers at RHS but if they are less than 6' (real measurements, not program listings) and don't have great speed they just will not attract much interest.
Too many times we have had the rare case of players who fit the physical numbers but just hadn't paid enough attention to academics.
There are always exceptions to the height and speed parameters that college coaches set for recruiting, but they are rare and if you have to recruit too many exceptions, you may soon be looking for a job.
heard today another one to preferred walk on at unc. that's two pw at carolina and one at asu. if that's the route they choose that's what they choose. also understand one likely going to wingate and another prolly choosing baseball over football. just because you don't hear about them on signing day doesn't mean they are not going somewhere.
Going somewhere as a pw is one thing but going as a scholarship player is totally different. Especially in the way that the staff looks at you. IT IS NOT THE SAME!!! Unfortunately other Reidsville players have learned this the hard way. It may not be your dream school but take the scholarship IMO!!!
Exactly! Regardless the division or so called prestige of the school, you're getting an education wherever, and that's always a good thing.
Confirmed: Rams Austyn Chestnut will be a preferred walk on for the Tar Heels this fall.
Great player from a great family. Wish him the best.

Awesome for Austyn .. pound for 165-pounds one of the best in the state.
Back to recruiting players by colleges, the Rams will be receiving a transfer lineman this fall that is 6" 5" and 260+ lbs that is already hearing from Carolina with more schools soon to follow.
Main reason? Height. You just can't coach it.
Don't think it appropriate to put a name or details on the expected transfer since he is currently enrolled at another school.
There is also an even bigger kid who may transfer but hasn't made up his mind yet. Another lineman.
Oh ok thought the kid was already here.
Just keep us posted on ram need you guys hear.
I never know much unless it's on here. I did hear about some other possible transfers, but no one said anything so I guess that was just a rumor.
I highly doubt there is recruiting going on, much less from Wentworth.
But the way a lot of softies quit football to concentrate on averaging 3ppg in basketball, RHS might need to to fill roster spots.
I think he is asking about players being recruited by colleges for next year.
Most of the interest will come after summer camps when the college coaches and get to know the players better.
Hey did Featherlough and the kicker sign a letter of intent? If so with whom just curious. Thanks.
Reidsville players are in the same situation as Edenton/Holmes players good but too under size for most recruiters.
In other news of interest to dhag, looks like the Tar Heels might be making the trip to Boone to play your App St in a few years. Talks underway.
