BUT, you use wins vs the Calpreps Top 1000 a lot, more than anyone....... seems like you would have to accept that Top 20 ranking last year. It was a Covid year. A bunch of teams in South Florida didn't even play 5 games. Hence why it had Berkeley Prep ahead of teams like TRU Prep, Deerfield Beach and Atlantic who would beat them easily. They wouldn't be top 20 in South Florida let alone the whole state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter a great deal either way.......it's a step up for Newman. Newman isn't all that, but they do have some interesting players this year.

Nolebull813 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 This gal on Twitter and the FL boards is very knowledgeable about all the 3A teams. She sent me some info about Berkeley I’m gonna copy and paste. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Berkeley Prep is loaded this year. They only graduated 9 seniors off the roster last year, but they bring back all of their linemen, which was the strength of their team. They also bring back the two star RB's, Xavier Townsend and Travis Bates. They have a star TE in Xavier Perkins who just committed to Florida. They are breaking in a new QB, but Coach Ciao is a smash mouth coach. Defense is star studded with two high quality linebackers TJ Bullard (Son of WWE star Titus O'neil) and Tre Reader. D.J Hooker in the secondary. The corner's a bit weaker, but the front 7 should generate a lot of pressure! They did graduate RJ Garcia and Austin Dean, which were big contributes last year, but they are very, very stout. The only bad thing about Berkeley is that they are unlikely to add transfers due to school policy not to accept Junior or Senior transfers. Right now, we are big on Berkeley, but we aren't silly. CCC has added 7 transfers and we aren't in summer yet which is their prime transfer season. If they find a solid running back, which they will, they'll likely end up becoming the favorite in region 3. Chaminade is still loaded, but they are very, very young this year.

ESPN needs to do games with good teams not 1 or 2 star rated players. Few years ago Hoover played Pinson Valley with 5 star qb Bo Nix final was Hoover 52-14 could have been 80-14. Hoover did not even win state that year. Teams need to be at least a top 250 team in the nation. Years ago CBS used to talk Tebow all game long even if Florida was not playing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolebull813 Posted March 16, 2021 Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 The game is in late October. That’s a really hard week to fill. So they might not have had any luck finding a marquee opponent close to home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Manning is better than Bo Nix.....and Newman will end up having 6-7 players with "stars"....probably more than Hoover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted March 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2021 Arch Manning picks up Notre Dame offer... Notre Dame Offers Elite 2023 QB Arch Manning BRYAN DRISKELL 7 HOURS AGO Notre Dame has already thrown out a lot of offers to 2023 prospects, and arguably the nation's top quarterback - New Orleans (La.) Isidore Newman's Arch Manning - is a recipient of one of those offers. Manning is ranked as the nation's No. 1 overall quarterback in the 2023 class by 247Sports. The 6-3, 200-pound signal caller passed for 1,643 yards and 19 touchdowns in a Covid-19 shortened 2020 season. That came a year after he threw for 2,438 yards and 34 touchdowns as a true freshman for the Greenies. Manning also rushed for 229 yards and eight scores as a sophomore. Expect Manning to be one of the more heavily recruited players in the 2023 class. Notre Dame's offer means he now has offers from Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, North Carolina, Florida State, Arkansas and Duke. Manning is the son of Cooper Manning, the nephew of Super Bowl winning quarterbacks Peyton and Eli Manning, and the grandson of College Football Hall of Fame quarterback Archie Manning. The youngest Manning's father, uncle Eli and grandfather all went to Ole Miss, while Peyton played at Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
