Its really hard to say what these kids are going to do in college. Tommy Armstrong for NU everyone is trying to dub him the next Tommie Frazier but he has yet to show that. Would love for him to but I don't see it.
 
As for Texas I think Heard will do ok this season with Strong's system but you just never know.

Who is a top backup in the NFL from UT?

Thats the difference between the ones who want it and the ones that want it handed out to them. The ones who want it do what it takes to get there.  And well the other just well you know.

The question was asked how many team won state that played 7v7. Like they are making it out to not be worth it to play. Well 7v7 was made pretty big here in Texas and there are alot of Texas qb's on college and NFL rosters. So my point is it must be doing some thing good for these kids. Whether they win state or the 7v7 tourney.

Ask Michigan how strong he is lol. 

And by the way H-D, what is wrong with practicing timing with QB and WR all summer long.  On top of that, how about getting coverage work all summer long as well as competing all summer long.  You can teach kids how to win and compete in 7v7.  It has benefited us everywhere I have ever been.  Going to camp improves the individual kid, 7v7 improves groups of kids and teaches them how to play together.  It also teaches them spacial awareness and concepts.

They Still play football in Hardin?

Not everyone can afford to get into college. And How many people are out here with degrees in fields they cant even get jobs in.  I have no problem if my 2 sons goal is to earn a scholly to play a sport some where.  But they are also being raised and taught playing those sports are not guaranteed to always be there and you must have some kind of plan to fall back on.

I agree with some of these points. The parents should and should want to help get their kids names out there for more exposure. Camps would be nice but can everyone afford them? High school coaches should also be putting names out there as well.  Its great for the parents to make highlights and send them out. At-least it wont hurt.

What you have to understand though is that everybody doesn't have the means to go to college if they chose to. Some of these kids only way out of their enviroments is a football field or a basketball court, and they understand that at a very early age. There are academic requirements to stay eligible in sports and if you stay in good standing, by the time your college career is over you'll either be graduated or very close. To me, if getting a scholarship isn't your goal then your accepting mediocrity. Some kids play and know full well they won't get a scholarship but that doesn't mean that's not one of their goals. I don't let my son play football because I like worrying about him being paralyzed, I let him play because it got me a degree and I know how an education can kick-start your life. Especially one you get debt free.
