You may be the most bi-polar poster on the board but I always agree with a lot of your analysis. Probably says something about me, smh. 

Yes this past spring
 

For sure. In memory of my friend @Hagar

New coach may have a new philosophy? Definitely not a discussion you’re having under the old regime though, which is part of the reason they’re gone. Maybe the new philosophy is to scheme receivers open instead of getting it to them quick and letting them use their athleticism in space?
In the scrimmage yesterday the routes were long developing and Eudy had to hold it several times. One other thing that was noticeable after I watched the film this morning is that we often had only three in a route against 5/6 defenders vs the 4/5 kids we would have in a pattern in Coach P’s offense. That makes it even tougher to get open. 
 
You need to be great on the offensive line to run the style of offense being installed. When people were killing me this Summer for saying this style offense isn’t conducive to the players the Crosby community produces last night is what I was eluding to. Throw in the type stuff you touched on up top compounded with the missed opportunities we did have and that’s how you end up with 0 tds all night. Maybe we’re going to be a defensive team from now on though🤷🏾‍♂️

He wore #2, safety and played pretty decent. Didn’t get any run at receiver, nor did the BH/Anahuac transfer get much? Lots of kids played on defense but the offensive rotation was kind of tight for a scrimmage. Wright is really the only player that has been playing both ways in camp and the inter-squad scrimmage and got meaningful snaps both ways against Lamar. 

Talks about Nederland under pressure due to PNG's season last year(21 min mark). Also mentions putting "For Sale" signs in head coach's yards like PNG has been rumored to do in the past.
 

Thank you for the compliment. Best of luck to your team this season I will be pulling for you guys. I hope to see you restored to the level your team deserves to be. You guys have so much talent. Good luck brother. 

Was doing some research on football playing populations in the coverage area and see PAM has basically the same numbers as CE King while playing a class below. You would think they should be a lot more dominant? It can't just be facilities, coaching maybe? 
PAM - 887
CE King - 892

Man, I think PNG is in a good position to make multiple finals appearances in the next 5/6 years if their talent isn't too cyclical. If Crosby hadn't collapsed in the semis against Liberty Hill that district would've had three consecutive state finalist. I think PNG or FB Marshall make it back to state this year again.
LH has owned region 4 the last three years and will most likely win it again this year. They're one of the fastest growing schools in the state and will be 5A-D1 next year though. Once they leave you're down in CC Flour Bluff and SA Alamo Heights territory. Teams that I don't even think PNG would've needed to be as good as they were last year to donkey stomp. 
PNG's enrollment is relatively stagnant meaning they're going to be locked in to D2 for the foreseeable future. We all know D2 is significantly easier but PNG has a real homegrown D2 enrollment unlike SOC who has a similar enrollment but would need 2,500+ kids to field a team like that without the transfers, so PNG is right where they should be. Coach Willis told us at the parent meeting that teams need three things to be successful; 1. Community, 2. Players, 3. Coaches, in that order. Hard to argue in D2 that PNG isn't right up there in all those categories. 

Those runs were before the divisions were split though. It was a lot harder to make consistent runs back then vs now when you're only playing with ~ 130 teams in the class. I said it when they announced it that splitting divisions would help this area more than pretty much any other. Transfers can play a huge role but in general it's harder to "fall off" in D2 now with the splits watering down the competition vs playing in D1 where a number of teams can get hot and make a run.

It's a two back system so both running backs start this year. The "A" back lines up in the slot more and catches the football more often, the "B" back lines up by the QB most times and is handed the ball more than it's thrown to him. If you watch Tyler Legacy film from 2021 you can see Jamarion Miller(Alabama) playing the "A" and Bryson Donnell(Texas Tech) playing the "B".

Those are just pics from their media days in their game jerseys. Some of them wear different numbers in practice jerseys. He easily stands out because he still wears the black cleats and gloves from his GCM days. If you zoom in on the pic in the bottom left corner you can see #13 with “Samuel” written across his helmet in red tape.

I'm not a fan of personal trainers for RB's so Levi doesn't really go to them. Wes goes to all of them though. I think that had an impact on getting the ball rolling for him, lots of additional promotion. He got invited by Demarco Murray for an unofficial to OU's Spring game before camp season even started, I wouldn't be surprised if they offered him in the not too distant future. I think he just came from Texas a couple of weeks ago too.
It was kind of clear when they were both at the UTSA camp where Levi measured at 5'11"/193lbs/4.53/37" and no lost reps in 1 v 1's. Tim Yoder(RB coach) pulls him to the side after camp and say "Man you look good, we want to see you be more consistent on film though". Needless to say the two backs they offered that day had even less film than Levi. Wes is just going to be a junior and already 200lbs though. He also looks good running around cones for a kid that size, sometimes you recruit the physical traits even if the numbers may not be there. 

If you come to the scrimmage tomorrow he'll be wearing #13. He ran with the #1 offense on Saturday during the scrimmage and stood out because he dropped a TD Eudy put right on his facemask. I would upload the HUDL film but you can't load pics and videos on here. 
Right now in the first two groups at receiver are Hammer(#21) and Samuel(#13) as the starters, Holman(#22 but #25 from last year), Brandt Wright(#1) and Odie(#12 BH transfer from Anahuac).

I know you are just trying to get a jab at 14.2, but in all seriousness, Levi has proven to be the better back up to this point. He fumbled 1 time all of last year, and redeemed himself on his next carry for a 55 yard TD run. The other back fumbled numerous games.  Some kids just look good at camps and can sell themselves. 

Believe Wes was injured against BH could be wrong. 

The question should be why is Levi not rated as he should be. He looks the part, got it on tape,  measurables and academics. All I can say is that the scouts are asleep at the wheel. Lil cuz will definitely put them on notice once again this year. Good lord say the same and he stays healthy all year, expect big thangs from number 14 this yr. 

It's going to be interesting to see what Manvel looks like in a few years? They have a crazy building boom going on there just like the rest of the metro area but they already lost a huge chunk of high end athletes to Shadow Creek when they opened and now the south side of 288 has been cut out of their attendance zone too.
