Like I said, if he fills out...💪🙏 I agree with your assessment. There will be some drop backs, but Hale is a really good athlete with a strong/accurate arm. The coaches know it. He’s got other solid athletes to throw to. They’ll get him moving around a lot and delivering the rock from many formations trying to create space. Coaches say he’s got pretty much a mastery of the offense already. Just needs to get experience, and get bigger and stronger. The playbook will open up (and I’m sure more wrinkles will be added) as he progresses. This MAY be a DLS squad that we haven’t recognized before. Whatchu talkin’ ’bout, Willis!? You’d BETTER make it down. 😎 You think the o-line will be any good , hopefully better than last season ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have 2 returning starters. Roe and Vranesh. Tasi, J. Puckett, Crespi will likely fill out the line. The kid to look out for though is J. Taofaeono. He’ll only be a sophomore next year but is already got a man body. He’s the real deal being compared to Boss Tagaloa. We can only hope. Theyll be young, but the talent is there. It’s up to them to make it happen. They’ll be really good next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, did you mean the o-line next year will be really good or the team as a whole ? Or do you mean the " Next year " to refer to Hale's senior season and o-line being really good ?

Next year, Puckett and Tasi will lead a strong senior group. And there’s a lot of good OL pedigree coming up through the classes right now. If these guys pan out like some of their big bros, DLS will be alright along the line for a few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OL has talent for the next few years. It’s going to be about commitment and work ethic. A lot to be excited about for the next few years if you’re a DLS homer.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DLS should be a Tier above STA this year. DLS young QB has a good game 5-7 for 150 yards no int Saving this one just in case lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Sammy forgets that Florida is a tier above Cali given the 24-7 lifetime record and 5-2 record in Cali-Florida Bowls including chopping down 2 state champs with watered down playoff losers. So taking that into consideration, and the fact that STA beat the number 2 team in Cali when they were number 12 in Florida it is crystal clear that all STA would have to do to beat DLS is be ranked anywhere between 20-30th in the state of Florida. Don’t blame me. Blame the tiers 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassulo and Harriott have underachieved. With all the kids they send to D1 and the NFL, you would think they would have performed better with all that talent. Name any other program with as much perceived D1 and NFL talent that has performed better. They're 96-17 with 4 state championships since Smith retired. They either win the state championship or lose in a close game to the eventual state champion (7 of the 8 years). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that Lakeland was 5-2 all-time vs. STA coming in, it made sense to pick them again.

The Guru Posted May 19, 2019 Report Share Posted May 19, 2019 22 hours ago, badrouter said: Just thought I'd point something out in case it wasn't obvious: STA isn't playing DLS to try to get better and climb back to the top in Florida. Or, at least they'd be fools if that's why they were playing this game. There are absolutely ZERO teams STA may face that look anything like DLS. Totally different animals. Of course there are other reasons to play the game. But an honest discussion about reasons for playing this game should involve those other things, not the idea that DLS is going to somehow prep them for Lakeland or Columbia or Armwood or Miramar. I don't think people who are almost completely unfamiliar with OOS games should be commenting on the reasons for playing them. Certainly exposure for their players is one of the factors but the main reason is team-building (traveling 6 hours by plane, staying several days, working through adversity, etc.) That's a real thing that escapes fans of teams that play Tenoroc and Hialeah-Miami Lakes.
