What BH has worked with since database was created, for some reason Dolan is missing though. BH should have 6 total kids rivals saw fit to profile: [Hidden Content] What TW has had at Allen, over 150 total kids in the same time period: [Hidden Content] When people say it's harder to win at Allen you have to take into consideration the talent to classification ratio.

IDK, but undoubtedly there's more affordable housing in Katy, North Shore, Denton and Bellmead. Pretty sure you can get a pad cheaper in West Orange than Celina too. Now we get to see if your money x coach theory works. I'm sure you now expect to BH to be like one of those teams you listed since they're now on par.

Man, +10,000 if I could give it to you. The vast majority of the time that's exactly how it works when "Crosby gets brought into the conversation". When I picked up my son from after school workouts yesterday I talked to him about the new BH coach and he said, "So, we're still going to eat". That's the top-down mentality in Crosby which is why I felt comfortable defending the staff on 2100 that's averaging over 10 wins per season.

Does Nuemann have one, maybe that's why he couldn't beat Flannigan before we fired him? He's 1-3 against Riordan though, so he is actually showing improvement. I want BH to get as good as they can possibly be, this area needs better teams in a drastic way.

I actually live in Newport, moved there in '89 from what is now the North Forest district. My parents just moved from Newport to the half million dollar spread they built in Barrett Station though, eventually when I have enough money I'll build a house on the hundred or so acres they own. You can have move-ins but you still have a base of 6k students to choose from. Meaning yeah, Kyler Murray may have moved in from Lewisville, the four D1 linemen and three D1 receivers didn't though. Keegun Williams might have moved to Cedar Hill, Avery Davis, Charleston Rambo and Cameron Buckley didn't. Crosby had two kids transfer to BH, one for basketball this year and one that will be a senior on the football team next year. The reason they left is because they couldn't play at Crosby. The reason most kids leave is because they couldn't get run at their current school, it's a lot more rare than you think to get high profile transfers because the DEC's will follow them to their landing spots and vote them down, i.e. the Oliver boys from King, Dee Anderson at Desoto and Jaylin Nelson at Duncanville just this year alone. I could go on but I think you get the drift. There's no substitute for 6k, just like there's no substitute for the 4,600 kids North Shore has run rough shot over east Houston with for the last 20 years. As far as the successful/underachieving thing, #6 Elgin was the only team we lost to in the playoffs under this staff that didn't at least make the semifinals. All those team we played had a bunch of D1 kids just like we did. TW is definitely more successful than Riordan at this point, he's also been a head coach a decade longer though. Just like TW won a title as an OC at Garland, Riordan won one in the same position at Sulphur Springs. You probably think since it was "tougher" to win at Allen that it should be "easier" to win at Barbers Hill, otherwise your argument doesn't hold water.

Well, he left A&M because of Kyler Murray. He didn't go to OU because of Kyler Murray. Now he has to come compete with a Kyler Murray clone at UH. Not to mention Bowman Sells is probably what Kyle Allen would be had he played in Texas. Very interesting to see how he does on the roster with a bunch of Texas qbs not rated as high.

I think it's all relative. The two regular season games Crosby lost over the last three years were to teams that are/going 6A. This year's loss in the D2 playoffs was to a team that had 2,348 kids and will be 6A next year. I doubt TW has ever coached a game where he didn't have the highest enrollment. Even against schools like Carroll, Guyer, Cedar Hill and DeSoto he had over double most times. In the semis he had over twice the enrollment as Westlake. The results mirror each other except Riordan has an extra playoff win over the first four years. So while TW may have done it against "tougher" competition I would think if Riordan had twice the kids of most teams he played his record would also be better than 42-8.

TW quote on Allen and coming to BH:

TW's head coaching record. Also has a 5A/6A title as an OC at Garland. First four years on the job he was 42-7, I happen to know a guy who's 42-8.

It's not really negative, just an opinion of someone who plays y'all every year. Just like it's your opinion that Crosby isn't that far ahead with all our D1 players. I just explained why I don't think Riordan is on 2100 sweating as alluded to earlier. BH just made a hire that sent shockwaves through the state. Y'all should be happy and expect immediate improvement.

Maybe so, but he better bring somebody to block for him and catch the ball too. Ain't no Greg Little's or Jalen Guyton's in BH.

Give me Riordan all day and twice on the Sunday. Westeberg's first four years at Allen look a lot like Riordan's first four years at Crosby, except Riordan doesn't have the highest enrollment in the state to choose from. He's also doing it without the four and five star transfer qbs TW had at Allen. I honestly doubt anybody on Crosby's staff batted an eye. Gage also has two 6A titles and was Riordan's whipping boy.

From Tepper:

Interesting in regards to 21-5A.

Well, that would be a start seeing as how the kids that can do that probably can't afford a house out there.

You better believe they're paying all $130k the job was posted for. It says he only made $109k in 2014 so I'm sure BH just money-whipped him.

Yeah, that's kind of what I think Gage was doing too. Rhoades first coordinator job was nearly 20 years ago so I figure he's already mid to late 50's and looking to get that retirement up. Money is the only reason I could of for him to go from making the title game as the HC at New Braunfels to being the DC at Judson two or three years later. If money was the issue then it's not a stretch to think retirement is the issue now.

Well, they hired Flannigan after he got fired by one 21-5A team. Maybe they hire Hancock after he got fired by another 21-5A team? I don't think you'll get many high level candidates with what BISD pays and you probably won't find a guy with a better resume that's been fired. My personal preference would be to see Hancock at Humble though.

Yeah, even though WOS, La Vega, George Ranch and North Shore all won state there are some people on this site who think all you need is a coach and money. Well, BH has the money and if Rhoades is the guy then they'll have someone who has coached in 7 state championship games. Rhoades has a Jerry Stewart type temperament which I don't really see being a fit at BH, I'm sure all that will change if he can win though. I just think there could be a little frustration after coaching at New Braunfels, Judson, Coppell and Yoe then coming to BH and working with their talent comparable to the surrounding teams.

Idk if it's a done deal yet, this is what just came across my Twitter from Matt Stepp:

Well MBG, 4 for 4 on the pm I sent you last week might be plausible. The non-head coach I told you about wasn't at workouts last week so I'm going to count that one as a for sure too.

I think you almost have to pencil in a de-commitment from Bowman Sells at Lucas Lovejoy. It says Sells is supposed to be an early enrollee but I don't think he's signed his financial aide agreement yet. Hopefully Hermann doesn't run into the same problem A&M had at the qb position. I don't think there's any argument he has the best crop of qbs on campus/signed/committed in the state. Greg Ward is on campus and should've gotten some Heisman consideration IMO. Kyle Allen, which was the #1 pro-style prospect in the country, is transferring in. For the 2016 class he has Bowman Sells, who has Clemson and Ohio St. offers, committed. He also has D'Eriq King a.k.a., Kyler Murray south, committed. For the 2017 class he has Jaylon Moscorro committed. Herman has accumulated an embarrassment of riches not seen at UH since the Bill Yoeman days. I know Aggie would sell their mascot to get him in College Station but I'm not so sure he views it as a better job than the one he already has.

I've been explaining to and consulting with Richard Ogbah, Emmanuel Ogbah's dad, since his junior year at FB Bush. Richard brought Emmanuel's scholarship offer from Harvard to work and pretty much begged me to help persuade him to go there. He felt Emmanuel would listen to me explain the importance of education since I was a young black guy who had played college ball and gotten a degree. Instead, I spent the next two years explaining to Richard the finer points of American football Now Emmanuel is going to be a first round pick this year. Not to mention his high school classmate, Cam Ridley, will also be a first round pick in the association.

Well, Aggie is officially in deep fertilizer. All those transfer qbs suck and Jalen Hurts is officially enrolled in Alabama. I dint believe Tate Martell in the 2017 class is the answer either, if I'm A&M I go all in on trying to flip Shawn Robinson from TCU. A&M will probably struggle to win 6 games with Hubanek next year and finish 6th in the SEC west. If I'm Sumlin I give the Aggie fans what they want and get out of town before it gets any worse.

It's going to depend on what grades Shadow Creek will open up with. When we play Manvel next year they'll have about 1000 less kids than they do now. If they open with a junior class, half of those kids will you're talking about will go to Shadow Creek. I've been in depth in what they have coming up recruiting wise, Crosby will sign more FBS kids than Manvel for their '17 class. The difference between 5A and 6A is the line of scrimmage, it's going to be a lot different lining up with RP who had 2,348 kids versus lining up with Manvel who'll be around 1,550.
