So now I’m an “old fart.” This is not the OT board. It is a board to show and share respect with others.

I’ve posted on hs boards for more than 20 years and appreciate those who can express themselves without calling someone else “clueless.” Ronald Curry’s accomplishments and national recognition speaks for itself. Andy is a clerk in the Florida unemployment office. Nobody mistakes his strident opinions for expertise. Back when Curry was being recruited, he apparently had offers from top D1 programs all over the place. This means that professional recruiters and coaches liked what they saw. That he didn't meet expectations at the next level is irrelevant. As a high school baller he impressed and set records. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite thing about concha is how utterly incompetent he is at supporting his arguments while at the same time having a gigantically fragile ego that forces him to comment anyway. He really can't come up with anything better than the fact that college recruiters offered him scholarships which would also would mean that every single D1 athlete was therefore good as well. Of course that's ridiculous and embarrassing but it's concha so that's expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about Finch, Drop.......you just don't know how to take him. If I said Leonard Fournette was the best RB I'd ever seen in high school Finch would then spend a couple days of his life trying to prove to me that...in fact.....Leonard Fournette sucked in high school. You can insert most ANY player/team into the equation and get the same results with the, Fincher. It's just how he is wired. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedZone Posted April 26, 2021 Report Share Posted April 26, 2021 I don't know who the best high school football player the Fincher ever saw, BUT I'm 99.99% sure I could find some bad games and some inferior competition along the way on his high school resume.

Of course that's ridiculous and embarrassing but it's concha so that's expected. Andy's stupidity is sometimes almost awe-inspiring. Andy has "supported" his arguments by use of his ass. No real data or opinions of professionals. Just his ass. Andy also fails to recognize that not every D1 athlete gets a scholie offer. Or gets offered by multiple schools. Or multiple Power 5 programs... You could get a pretty good approximation of who the best high school football players in the country are in a particular class by who they get scholie offers from. Andy seems to think the idea is "ridiculous and embarrassing". He says that because he's trying to cover for having been shown to be a fool. Again. 🤡 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is obviously wrong. Terrible players have received scholarship offers. By definition. The fact that you don't know this is telling.

No, he was just a vastly overrated player who wasn't any good once the competition was raised. Guess what? There are terrible doctors. Terrible lawyers. Terrible football players. The idea that because somebody got into med school or law school they therefore must be a good doctor or lawyer is absurd. The same applies to a scholarship offer. It's frankly a very stupid argument and you and concha should be embarrassed to be making it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolebull813 Posted April 27, 2021 Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Derrick Henry played against crappy competition his whole high school career. Maybe one or two competent teams in the playoffs or something. But the knock on him was his competition. The NaySayers said he won’t be able to duplicate the success at the next level because he’s not used to the competition. A Heisman trophy and 2 NFL rushing titles later, he proved that the crappy competition meant nothing. For Ronald Curry the crappy competition DID mean something. It was exposed when he went to college. He became one of the all time busts in history. But it wasn’t his fault. He didn’t choose to be over rated. People saw the spectacular plays he made but ignored the fact it was against garbage. it was fools gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he has balled at every level he's ever played at. Why? He's the real deal. Ronald Curry sucked the moment he stepped out of Hampton High School and outside of Tidewater Virginia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
