Good programs recruit themselves

Sorry for my comment Sir Drago IV

Thanks for the apology, but I'm not picking up the flag

Who do you see having a bigger year, abdul or nick?

Mike Drago

12:47

There's a great question

Really, it depends on the five guys in front of them.

12:48

But Nick Singleton and Abdul MacFoy are guys who can take it to the house on any play, but not if they're getting hit in the backfieild.

They need some daylight

Is Skippy the reincarnation of John Gurski, he’ll have to show his hands to prove it!

Mike Drago

I'm glad Skippy's back; missed him last week.

You want to talk recruiting problems go to Jersey. When they forced a split of public’s and privates it became the wild Wild West and a 6 State region to recruit from

Wyo had a generational player in Anzalone when they won the state championship. The single biggest factor was him. The next was the QB that transferred in from Fleetwood. He completed meaningful important passes when they played Imhotep. Without him, they lose that game. Wolfrum benefitted from that transfer and complains when he might lose kids to other programs.

Mike Drago

12:49

It's not as simple as that, Cards

12:50

Yes, Wyo benefitted from that transfer.

But that doesn't mean you should sit back and no nothing if you feel your program is threatened.

I applaud Bob for stepping up and saying something.

More should do that.

Do you think that the Spartans offensive line has the potential to hold up division 1 players like Tyler Elsdon?

Mike Drago

12:51

The Wing-T blocking schemes are designed so that it's not one-on-one blocking that depends entirely on size or strength.

It involves techniques, angles, deceptions.

That's why many smaller schools run it.

12:52

Not sure if N Schuylkill has faced many Wing-T teams, but if it hasn't it'll have difficulty defending it

And, few teams traditionally run it with the precision Wyo does

Wyo won last week because they played smart football. The Pottsville team was sloppy and made crucial penalties that either halted their drives/momentum or gave Wyo 2nd chances (missedFG turned into TD). Pottsville was ready to strike at any time and you could feel it. Glad BCTV covered. I dont see a big play threat from Wyo which is why they havent been able to keep up with a big play team like BC for several years (transfer convo another day). Not seeing how they can compete with an explosive team like North Schyulkill.

Wyo always has a small line. But they get the job done.

Mike Drago

They're not small this year. One of the bigger O-lines Spartans have had in a while.

John Minton

12:53

I think there are things about BC that prevent kids from transferring. You transfer from public to public and the school culture is essentially the same. You go to BC and you have regular Mass, religion classes and conservative dress and grooming standards. Not for everyone.

Mike Drago

12:54

That is absolutely true. It's a different culture.

Some kids thrive in that kind of atmosphere, some don't.

District 3 suspended the player for the season. I would guess the intention of the suspension would be to not allow him to play for the entire season because it was a sport motivated move. Wolfrum and Wyo benefitted from, I guess, a poorly worded suspension. Just seems a bit hypocritical for him to protest so much.

Mike Drago

12:55

Your talking about the Unger case, and yes, District 3 screwed up on that one.

They suspended him for one year.

They meant to suspend him for one season.

12:56

I believe they have either altered the rule since then, or been more careful when applying it.

Mike could you see Wyomissing losing in a thriller against kutztown this year?
