Omaha Vol Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 If McDonogh and Spalding are anything like they were last year those two should be tough outs as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonogh and Spalding both bring back a lot. Those schools also happen to have the two best offensive playcallers in the state as well. Spalding lost their QB to graduation (Navy) but have a pretty highly touted kid coming up who was supposed to be the next big thing at Gilman before that situation blew up. McDonogh lost their LT (Maryland) and their starting RB to graduation but return their 4* QB/ATH Dejaun Ellis (Virginia Tech) and 4* DL P.J. Mustipher (16+ offers including Alabama). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteshoes Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Good review. It's great to see a high school football discussion on this board again. An indication that the season is getting closer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What inevitably happens when you try to build a top 25 football program at a blue-blood academic school. Alums and faculty got ticked they were continually lowering academic standards to admit football players and letting Biff Poggi essentially run his own little empire with his wife's money parallel to the school itself. Most football coaches worked for his wife's company, not the school. Alumni demanded change and Biff took his ball and went to Saint Frances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMG is the only certain loss. Calvert Hall, Gilman, Loyola, Mount Saint Joseph and Silver Oak all certain wins. They'll have another 20+ transfers so we'll see if they can gel in time to play well in the early games against tough teams. I'm hoping they fall victim to the same curse that plagued Gilman when Poggi was there, namely inept offensive play calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasMalibu Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Honestly, they could possibly win out and go 13-0. They have the talent to beat IMG on any given day. SFA will have a few 5*'s and a handful of 4*'s of their own. But, like eagleinsider said, they will have 20+ transfers and an offensive coaching staff that has single handily lost big OOS games. My best guess is 9-2 in the regular season and a MIAA championship. They'll drop the IMG game and lose a head scratcher to a league team or Bishop Sullivan.

There's no way I'm betting the MD/BC game straight up. Let's be somewhat fair here! Toal effect is worth a TD at least on D... that should keep it within what 4 TD's now?

Are you on Drummer's payroll? "Consultant" on D? Wasn't there a photo on one thread of him at practice or was that an onion.com thread lol. Well with or without him, if BC can run the ball effectively enough with a small mix of passing and can burn a chunk off the clock it could be a good one. They've got athletes.
