Mr Davis Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 Why is Westbrook's running back Demarcus Smith not getting any love from our area newspapers, blogs, and recruiting? This kid was moved up to varsity his freshmen year by that coach Craig Stomp. Here's his highlights from this past year. http://www.hudl.com/athlete/o/2561394/highlights/84894401 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AthleticSupporter - Jock Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 52 views not one response? Wow!!! Will he be WB's feature back this year? I'm guessing he had to play 2nd fiddle to Hervey last year. Mr. Buddy Garrity and Mr Davis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWCOACH2010 Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 This will not be a popular response or may hurt your feelings but, I can tell you from experience, if a kid can play, colleges know who they are. It doesn't matter if he is blogged about or getting stars. I do 't know the kid and anyone can have a highlight cut up. If the kid is a D-1 player, D-1 schools know him.

VNUPE Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 What is his classification? What did he do last summer as far as Camps? Mr Davis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Davis Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Yes he will be the featured back this year and he started in the B back spot and did a lot of blocking for his play brother J Hervey Athletic Supporter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Davis Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I understand FWCoach but just go and ask the coaches and all of the people that have coached him or taught him. I am his father and my feelings will not get hurt after asking you your opinion Sir. I have been reading you guys" posts for about a year and seen nothing about him. He had 5 TD's and 2 TD's he threw for this year. I do challenge you just to see him and I can guarantee you will be impressed. Just as Mike Jinks running back coach for Texas Tech was when he walked over to me this past summer and ask me was #209 my son or when Jeff Shinn from Mary Hardin Baylor called him by name after camping with them and said have anyone offered you yet. I guess guys I am simply asking if I am expecting too much out of this process? Just a concerned dad about the process not at all in his abilities!!! I totally love and respect the opinions on this board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Davis Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Cougar14 I thank you for responding however there's a process I believe that the senior should get the bulk of the PT. It wasn't a running back in Westbrook's district or in our area that could have taken Justin's spot. The kid was just that good! Hervey is a great kid and is an awesome running back from 2 great parents and I would have hated if my son would have taken his senior year from him. I am Pro-Kids and want to see as many of our Southeast Texas kids get out of hear and make something of themselves. I am a Central Alum and want Westbrook, Central, and Ozen to be successful. This was in the past and still is the football capital of the world!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Davis Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 VNUPE we did several but at the time he was a 10th grader and that was a dead period for 10th graders. We will hit more this year and we are doing the Nike Sparq on the 2nd of March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PNGDAD Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Sometimes it's good to pick some schools that your son is interested in and go to their camps also. The one on one time with the coaches and staff just cant be beat. Combines are great but it's easy to get lost in the shuffle. My son is a sophomore this year and we attended 7 combines and three college camps last year, and we got more feed back from colleges just by being at their school than any of the combines. The combines are good don't get me wrong we are planning more this spring, but a face to face with a coach could leave a better impression than just numbers and film could.

cougar14 Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks PNGDAD15Combines are good if your son can run fast and jump high. Otherwise, you put him on side of kids that can and he gets shown up which looks bad to recruiters.There's a bunch of kids that won't be able to play in college and really aren't all that good in high school but they can test off the charts. Recruiters see those kids as having more "upside" than the kids who just have good film but test average, which leads to the "upside" kids getting the scholarships. I would personally suggest more satellite camps to first show coaches that you are interested in that school, second, it allows his football ability to be judged more. If he can run, jump and measures well then do as many combines as possible. PNGDAD and Mr Davis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeoj Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Demarcus Smith is a good RB and yes he will be the featured back with some talented underclassmen backing him up. Kid's a baller, his recognition will come. Mr Davis and cougar14 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLUEDOVE3 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 He looks good!! Mr Davis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWCOACH2010 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 From everything I am reading on here, he can play. School will come around showing interest and he will be at the next level if what I am reading is true. He will also get the love you on here when he produces (not saying he hasn't already) but not to the point of recognition. Many kids mature late or are seen as average until their senior year and they come out ballin. I have coached many of them that have gone on to have excellent careers in college and even had two that were unknowns until their senior year that are playing on Sundays now.

Mr Davis Posted February 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Thanks guys! Thanks to Huddle (the blog) for putting him in. My kid is working hard and every morning I tell him go get his education then go and build a machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA"ALLDAY" Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 this guy is real good and bet exciting to watch play Mr Davis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Davis Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Thanks PA "ALLDAY" I hope that you can make the trip to see him when Brook meets Memorial at the "Butch" this fall. If it goes like I think the running backs Smith Daphine and Martin will shine!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
