Yes his inbox is 100% flooding. He’s as connected as anyone in metro Atlanta and they’re playing an elite national schedule. They have a Netflix crew following them around. Hell yeah people want to travel the country and play in California, Texas, Jersey etc. They are not an IMG or SFA right away and won’t be but that is certainly their goal. They have a lot of good pieces in place. If they pull it all off and be SUCCESSFUL, I’d be surprised and impressed, but they have a goal in mind and it’s pretty clear. They’re going to get a lot of kids. And they’d beat most HS teams around the country just off talent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta read between the bullshit with this group bro. Remember, they showed us pictures of a several million dollar facility after tweeting "we've built it and they're coming." They may pay a film crew to film them and then try to sell it to Netflix, but, there is no guarantees if you really pay attention to the pitch. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badrouter Posted January 23, 2020 Report Share Posted January 23, 2020 19 hours ago, Fred said: I've always heard that playing the best helps make you better. I can think of several reasons to want to play an academy. At the basic level, filling a schedule when no one wants to play you (been there, done that.) Past that, playing someone at the same level or above helps you see how strong you are. To me, that's really about the only thing rankings do for you. In each say grouping of 10, can you really differentiate between one and ten that much? Probably not. But differentiating between one and a hundred works. Would you rather play the teams at or above your level or the ones way below? The ones way below might be nice for a slow week but play them consistently and you won't be ready for the strong teams at the end of the year. Playing very good high schools can certainly help a team get better. A little better, anyway. But, by and large, teams are what they are. Venice (Fl) this past season was a good test case: Date Opponent Result 8/237:30p IMG Academy (Bradenton, FL) Location: Venice High School Box Score (L) 46 - 7 8/307:30p @ St. Petersburg (St. Petersburg, FL) Location: St. Petersburg High School Box Score (W) 44 - 0 Touchdowns Against Cancer Games Final Results 9/67:30p @ Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville, FL) Game Details: @ Trinity Christian Academy Box Score (W) 50 - 49 (2OT) 9/207:30p Riverview Sarasota (Sarasota, FL) Location: Venice High School Box Score (L) 24 - 21 9/277:30p @ Sarasota (Sarasota, FL) Location: Sarasota High School Box Score (W) 42 - 7 10/47:30p St. Frances Academy (Baltimore, MD) Game Details: Venice HS, football stadium Box Score (L) 49 - 7 10/117:30p @ Lakewood Ranch (Bradenton, FL) Location: Lakewood Ranch High School Box Score (W) 49 - 6 10/187:30p Cocoa (Cocoa, FL) Location: Venice High School Box Score (W) 48 - 31 10/257:30p Manatee (Bradenton, FL) Location: Venice High School Box Score (L) 30 - 13 11/87:30p @ Lehigh (Lehigh Acres, FL) Location: Lehigh 2019 FHSAA Football State Championship - Class 7A Football Box Score (W) 49 - 0 11/157:00p Palm Beach Lakes (West Palm Beach, FL) 2019 FHSAA Football State Championship - Class 7A Football Box Score (W) 62 - 35 11/227:30p Manatee (Bradenton, FL) 2019 FHSAA Football State Championship - Class 7A Football Box Score (W) 34 - 17 11/297:30p St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, FL) 2019 FHSAA Football State Championship - Class 7A Football Box Score (L) 42 - 0 They lost by 39 to IMG, who was absurdly loaded. Because Venice was a pretty good team, they managed win at Jax TCA. They lost by 42 to SFA, who was absurdly loaded. The IMG and SFA games were complete laughers that the team couldn't possibly have learned anything from. Still, as far as high school teams go, Venice was pretty good, notching a seventeen-point win over Cocoa October 18. All pf those games still couldn't help Venice avoid a seventeen-point home loss-in a game for the district title-to Manatee in the regular season finale. Venice turned right back around and won two road playoff games decisively, and then avenged the Manatee loss from a few weeks prior (rematches that were not certainties at the time of the first game almost always favor the team who felt they did poorly the first game). How did all of that help them when they played STA in the playoff game? They lost by 42. Same damn result as the IMG and SFA games. Venice was what they were. Pretty good HS team that simply couldn't match up with the super teams. All the IMG and SFA games did for them was get them "running-clocked" a couple times as they granted games to teams who wouldn't otherwise have had anyone to play. Venice only helped IMG and SFA; they didn't help themselves. Playing an academy that operates under an entirely different set of rules, and who may be more loaded with talent than any team that may be a playoff opponent down the road, does a team no good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he runs USAA the way he ran his bid for Alabama rep., Devaughn will copy Trump in every way imaginable.

Well, Rush has some friends and some pull, but, people don't work for free. Things like a professional grade videographer/director/editor don't work cheap. I honestly think the whole thing up front with all the sizzle, press releases and all of that stuff was meant to heat up folks on the idea and get someone to pick it up, all the way around. I mean, like, come through with some big contract to help them pay for this stuff. These coaches they have don't work cheap either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems like the plan is not starting from the right spot. Like, to me, they needed to already have the facilities and all near ready before even thinking about starting school up. It all seems kinda half baked really. I do think they have some good pieces in place in the coaching/recruiting dept., and a good idea, they're just working it kinda backwards or something. Idk how it's all going to work out for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to focus on the kids with poor grades who may be looking for an easy way out. That's who would be interested in making a move. They probably know that, though.
