The point is that he would probably play for La. Tech  may never start for Baylor. The degree at Baylor is probably not any better than La. Tech. 

I think Babin has a good chance to be a starter at Baylor after a few years there with his talent, work ethic, and attention to detail. I actually think he has a decent shot at going pro eventually

Woodville will be just fine. Now that Luke is gone. They will run an offense that fits the whole team not just one player.

Depends on how well the coaching staff adjust to him and the entire receiving core's absence. We have players that can fill in those holes nicely with a little tweak to the system but who knows what this coaching staff has in mind. Cant be too sure of anything right now but hoping for the best

The writing was on the wall when the LLCA group in Woodville ran off the coach who took them to the state title game because he 'didn't use his athletes" like they wanted. 

The people who have the power to run off a coach at Woodville couldn't care less how athletes are being used or if they're being utilized at all. Coach Rob and some of that coaching staff from that year are at Palestine now so look out for Palestine in the next couple years though

Babin clearly transferred for athletic reasons......

Lots of kids do but most of them slip through 

Not a fan of the recruiting and all that within public schools but I hope everything goes well for Babin. Hopefully Woodville coaching staff and players can avoid distractions and focus on making the best out of what we got. We still got good players who deserve the coaching staff's best efforts. I hear we got a few new faces on the coaching staff that might do well so hopefully we make the best personnel adjustments and get ready to have a great season. 🦅

Hardin had success because they were big up front, ran a wing T, and ran the fire out of the clock. If you truly think they had the horses to run a wide-open offense and sling it around like Barrier did at BH, then I am not sure this conversation is worth continuing to have. 

The same group was WIDE OPEN when Barrier played with them in 8th grade. They only would have gotten better had Brady stayed and they remained in a simular offense

Sorry to hear that for you guys. Maybe if Coldspring starts making some noise he could have something else to discuss

If WV continues to sink it is because the little league coaches failed to supply the high school with sufficient talent to win. Might be time to get some new coaches in the little league.

Woodville shouldn't run out of talent for the next 5 years at least. Where you coaching at lately? Dont hear you talking about Coldspring much anymore

This is an ignorant take. Do you think Barrier would've had the individual success he has had if he had been playing in Chad Taylors offense? On the flip side, do you think Hardin would've had the team success they had this past year had they stayed in Barrier's offense? 

On another note, Woodville is a dumpster fire. Two years removed from a state championship appearance, and now staring down the barrel of low level mediocrity for the foreseeable future, all because daddies can't keep their mouth shut. Great job guys!

His Dad was the head coach if I'm not mistaking and Hardin had athletes. They could have been successful in multiple different offenses. If Woodville continues to sink it's because the current staff is doing everything it can to make sure it does

How do you know? Do you have information on the coaches who switch jobs that do not have kids that play? Coaching is a volatile business where you can be fired as soon as the right local gets offended. Coaches should do whatever they feel is best for them and their families. 

**I once saw a coach take his team to a state championship game for the first time in school history only to have community turn on him and question his coaching ability. He promptly left for greener pastures.

There are two kinds of coaches: coaches who have "been fired" and coaches who will "be fired". 

I don't really keep up with it. I know coaches move around but I don't think it's normal to jump around that rapidly. He never stayed any one place for over a year within a 5 year span.

Life as a coach's 

It's mostly coaches who are shopping their kids around who end up bouncing around like that.

Went to Rusk at one point 

Yep. Forgot about that 

8th grade: Hardin

Freshman year: Anahuac

Sophomore year: Rusk

Junior year: Anahuac

Senior year: Barbers Hill

Didn't the last QB lead the Barbers Hill Eagles to the 4th round?  What program was he at prior? 

He started at Hardin, slid over to Anahuac, then bounced over to Barbers Hill. Should have just stayed put at Hardin

I dont disagree with this statement.  In the same breath, I can give you a list of "player" who received D1 offer and was not voted as the District MVP unanimously by every coach.   Yet, the MVP will be sitting at home next fall and the "second place guy" is going to be suiting it up for a local D1.  So, Yes, i completely understand your sentiment. 

Really good high school players sometimes don't receive D1 offers for different reasons. Some don't show up at as many camps as others and when they do they might have a bad day at the camp and not look that impressive. Some don't participate in powerlifting and track events that some scouts use to verify strength and speed. Some don't have a lot of film readily available. Some just don't fit the "measurables" that scouts look for at certain positions. Some have bad grades or test scores. Lot of things have to get checked off for D1 offers most times and the best 3A high school players don't always hit all the checks. I'm sure Jones can play somewhere although it may not be D1 and who's to say he doesn't end up at a D1 after a couple years at a juco or D3. It's happened before

Barbers Hill I hear

It will not matter what Newton lost up front. WV will be non-competitive.

Woodville will be faster, but will they be willing to tackle inside the box every play, all game. Coach Taylor has a way of wearing defenses down.. even the more athletic teams. Woodville could get 3 or less possessions each half. 

Yea the guys will have to be a lot tougher than last year. A lot of those sophomores will be juniors so hopefully there will be some mental and physical maturity. DLine gone have to really get after it for 4 quarters

Yes, from what I have been told, Hardin lost a senior guard and gained a sophomore tackle, who moved back over from Liberty.  It appears the line will once again be the engine behind this machine.  Somebody on here said, they believe hardin takes a significant step back?  I see it quite the opposite.  I think they just got better. 

Hardin lost the entire backfield except the qb. They'll still be able to move the ball some with the big OLine but it won't be the same. Defense won't be the same either. Woodville will be a lot faster and will have a little more depth than Hardin

With all do respect… Newton will beat the brakes off everyone else in the district this season. Save this post and if I’m wrong feel free to call me out on it 

It's not unreasonable to form that opinion based on what happened last year and you may be right. I just know what Woodville has and know it could be very competitive if things fall in place. Our coaching staff has a little adjusting to do so nothings guaranteed but we definitely got some pieces.

Hardin will take a decent step back… I don’t think they beat the brakes off Woodville… not saying they won’t win… but beat the brakes is a bit dramatic IMO I agree Newton is head and shoulders better than anyone else in the district 

Newton actually lost a lot up front to graduation so the match up between Newton and Woodville could be a little closer this year depending on a few variables, the main being coaching. Woodville will probably have more overall team speed but then again KJ and Izayah will probably be a handful by themselves so we'll find out soon enough

Hardin will beat the brakes off WV. WV is about to be a dumpster fire. Fortunately, outside of Newton and Hardin, the district is utterly pathetic. 

We'll see

Did the QB transfer as mentioned on another thread?

QB from Woodville moved. Hardin still not going to beat Woodville. It could be competitive with Hardin's size and experience up front though. Think they return 3 or 4 from the OLine and got a 350 pound move in from Liberty to add to that

He did. Jasper situation is no secret. Sometimes coaches take jobs based upon future projections and not what is immediately possible. 

Maybe so. I wouldn't be able to tell if he's supposedly said he was "surprised" though

They may have made a huge mistake.  Like I said, Foreman wasn't impressed with the current talent and even tried to get the person who transferred out back multiple times.  I hear Foreman's son can run and will be coming so that will be good for the team.  

Let's talk about what's good for all of the boys.  I haven't heard of Foreman going walk the halls and supporting administration yet.  Also heard head basketball coach wants out.  Let's see if Foreman will only be focused on football or will do good by all of the sports.  He's aligning himself with some questionable people in the community already.

Hopefully everything works out. Head coach has to believe in his guys to have a chance though. I assumed he might have looked into all that before he took the job. Maybe not

I also heard that the school board is comprised of two parents who want to run the team and their children to get playing time.  It will be interesting to watch as the season comes upon us.  

 

 

 

Surprised there's not more than two lol
