But on recruiting, I understand not a single Southwest Conference team made him an offer.  Reportedly, the first SW conference team he got to play while at Lamar:. University of Houston.  Result: 14 unassisted tackles.  You think there was not some buyer's remorse?

I was too young to remember any of that, but UH should have absolutely recruited him. It's weird to me because at that time, the Bulldogs were pretty dang good. There are a few of those guys that should have gotten a chance to play somewhere halfway decent.

Here's the write-up that LU has on him:

I was there watching.  I was also fortunate to get to visit with him for a couple minutes while the Oilers had their training camp in San Antonio.  For the Oilers, he was listed at 5'9', and 250 pounds!  He was a terror on the kickoff and punting teams.  Glanville, the Oiler head coach then, said in the first ten yards, there was no one faster in all the NFL.  Just imagine a little return back getting leveled by a 250 pound bowling ball.  Must have hurt.  But he probably was not recruited by the major colleges because he did not fit the "prototype".  Not tall enough, etc. but they did not stop to measure his heart.

He came by two-a-days in '90 when I was a junior. Pretty impressive guy. I wonder what he's doing these days.

We haven't had to throw a lot, but our passing game isn't bad at all. Adams has been really solid so far, but he's definitely more of the game manager type from what I can tell. They don't feature him a lot in their play calling. 

Until you need a 4th and goal from the 6 yard line ‘Philly Special’ to seal the victory.

to be completely honest, Carthage has no weakness. I am a JASPERDAWG for life thru&thru, but I am not looking forward to October 16th whatsoever.

Other than maybe West Brook, I doubt anyone in the area could handle Carthage.

Only thing that might help LCM, Jasper might have a let down after the Vidor game.   That may make it closer than what folks think.  Maybe Jasper by three TDs.

I have no idea if anyone's even looking at him. For some reason, big colleges don't look at our guys very often. We had a guy that just graduated this year that was every bit as good as Limbrick and I never heard a word about him going anywhere. 

We VERY seldom get Div 1 offers for our kids.  Our coaching staff does ZERO to help them get recruited.  We have not had a kid go Big School D1 since Terrell Cuney at Texas and he has graduated and is Coaching in Burkeville I believe.

*Terrell Cuney went to UT.                   his the cousin to:

Terrence "Tiki" Cuney #36 played RB (has DI talent & size as well) 5'11" 230lbs and hella wheels, if couldn't run away from ya, he just run over ya. his twin  brother DeAnthony was a baller as well.

Correct... I had the wrong Cuney... but my point remains the same.  Jasper is LOADED with Division 1 talent year in and year out and we never place kids in big schools.  WOS and Silsbee have very similar talent levels...just look at these kids as they play against each other from pee wee to junior high to high school... always compete against each other, yet Silsbee and WOS send multiple kids to D1 EVERY year!

Newton has built a pipeline as well.

Do you think academics play apart of the recruiting process?

Absolutely not!  I guarantee the athletes in Silsbee, WOS, and Newton are not any better or worse academically than Jasper... plus, D1 schools honestly don't care about academics.  Let's be honest.  They want stud athletes!  They have lots of resources to help a kid academically... but coaches have to help these kids get noticed.  Big schools spend most of their time recruiting the big cities.  5A and 6A schools.  Plus with the internet, the can recruit right from their desk with all of the recruiting services out there... but again... the coaches have to get film of the players on these sites!

To me, this has been the case in Jasper for several decades. We'll occasionally have a guy go to a big D1 school, but the majority either go to SLC schools (McNeese or SFA usually) or smaller schools than those. Why is it different for us than some of the other really good smaller high schools in the area? I'm just picking your brain since you've coached and I know less about how these things work.

I was really impressed with Jaspers RB Limbrick. If he is determined then watch out. Their offense looked really really basic but that's all they need.

Having a guy like Limbrick that is durable and also a gamebreaker is a huge advantage against most teams, but the Bulldogs will need to diversify the offense some against some of the good teams in our district. Center is pretty good from what I can tell and Rusk seems to be a decent team, but we all know that Carthage is the team to beat.

We've played them in the past with good teams and have gotten run off the field. That can't happen anymore. We have to be ready to play.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
