That is my point. God knows they would not do any worse. I think Crosby or PNG or a WOS or West Brook could give them a game. Not a lot on that team that pops out and says, WOW. Just a bunch of transfers that did not pan out at their first stop....

Maybe we need to start a Lamar recruiting thread!!!

Quite possibly you are taking what I said out of context. Note that I keep using Lamar as an example. Implying that Lamar needs to get on board and look at this kid. Because, at Lamar, kids like Riggs are not a dime a dozen. If you have been to a Lamar game lately you can see what issues they have as a program. Across the board, they need help. You can also see I have compared him to former Lamar players. Do I think he can play at a D1 bowl eligible school.... NO.... However I do think the kid can go to A Lamar type school and compete for playing time. So in your own words.... Don't try and turn this debate into a debacle... My argument is that at Lamar University, kids like Riggs are not a dime a dozen.....

Once again opinions vary. Nelson was the king of the circus catch. Undersized with average speed. That does not equate to the next level, as his college days proved. You need size and speed at the next level for production most of the time. I'm not sure if Riggs wants to play the sport after high school. But IMO has more tools than any receiver Fairclothe has had other than Giblin...

We pride ourselves on "Dime a dozen players"... That's the type of kid that plays with an edge and all heart. That's what enables you to beat teams that you shouldn't. And trust me, Lamar, needs all of that they can get....... Look at all the 5 stars that never amount to much... UT is battling that issue right now... However the Jordan Shipley type excels....

What he had was a connection to the Lamar staff... Now those coaches are gone. Nelson got a full ride, and a few years back the Sullivan kid got a offer with Morse. IMO, Nelson was the best selection of the group. From what I understand he now coaches at Lumberton. I wouldnt think you would see Sullivan on the field in his time at Lamar. The X offensive coordinator for Lamar had 2 kids playing at PNG. He's gone, so now is the connection...

Lamar is behind the game on many local kids. IMO, the ones they get are middle of the pack that put up decent numbers. It's hard to believe that they have not offered. For anyone that has seen Riggs play, he can outrun any team in the district. Look up PAM and Central games if your not a believer. The difference between Riggs and Nelson is size and speed. Nelson made every acrobatic crazy catch you could think of. Riggs does that as well but can burn a defense with speed, and is a mismatch because of his size. If he puts on 20 lbs or so he could play and excel at a Lamar type school. But as we have seen through the years, Lamar seems to let these types go through without a reasonable look.. ( ala Elandon Roberts), who they felt was local so he shouldn't get a full ride... or KJ who they thought was too small. So I caution anyone to wise crack or negative comment on Riggs. He can go....... And has proved it all year....

Why does Chumperton have their starters in the game?
-
Is this game on the radio?
-
Come on man.... I give the Chumps a compliment and I do not even get a LIKE?!!!!!!!

For all of the Chumpees............... 20-0 Chumperton, teams still in warm ups......................

Although he is out there honestly he is just handing the ball off to backups. I often wonder why everyone questions why he's always in the game. I hear the word overused, so many times. This is high school, and I promise if his numbers go down, offers go down. Would everyone prefer to just save him for college? I could understand if he was running the ball but he's just handing the ball off. If that's what the team needs then so be it.....

Because IMO the rest of the district is cupcakes. I have no idea how Vidor beat Central. I just think Vidor is an easy out in the playoffs. I did not see much from them when we played them. In the end they will get in and be one in done... No moral victory just a honest assessment, if I where a coach and got the choice to pick Vidor or Central as my first round opponent, I would Pick Vidor. It's the easier out.... Central has better athletes, speed, and a better defense. Obviously something went wrong against Vidor, it's just my opinion. Central seems to always be that bubble team that shoulda woulda and coulda. If they finally get over the hump, the days of anyone else getting in over them other than the top 3 are over.

My opinion is those SHOULD be.
