Great Lists, But No Matt Grootegood from the MD Guys?….. 🤣

I addition to Groots, I would throw in Russel White (Crespi), Derek Brown (Servite), Derek Landri (DLS)….

Played against Eddie George in high school. 1991 when he played for Fork Union. I was a LB in the VA prep leagues. He mowed me over quite a few times in that game, lol. Had tree trunks for legs!


Why didn’t you mention this prior?!  
 

I submit in the suggestion 📦 that Omaha’s poll gets comp poll submission review for ‘23.  :) @dntn31

Your HS poll just got more clout.  

Predicting games at high level  ✔️ 

Follows nationally for many years ✔️ 

Poll is based on a lot of time and effort and it shows  ✔️  (it’s an impossible task, but has a system in place)  

Played HS ball  - bonus

Forgot to include Groots when I first posted as I also forgot at the time that I had seen him play live/in person...once...in 1999 vs DLS at UOP in Stockton.  (If you know how that game went for MD, you can understand why I may have suppressed all memories of that game.  In fact, Groots may have had the only highlight for MD that day when he popped Kevin Simon so hard on a screen pass that he knocked Simon's helmet off.)  I assumed that I hadn't seen him play as I lived in the Bay Area at the time, but upon further reflection....  I have now corrected that egregious error in my original post. :P Still the greatest MD player of all time, IMHO.

I was in 8th grade in 1982, so missed Beurlein by a year, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it!).

Like asking me all time 5 fav or more sports cars… How long can a post be?  😂 

just a handful… 

NJ - Butch Woolfolk (from Midwest), Stan Yagiello and AQM (at STA) 

FL -  Rashad Greene (from GA) best route runner I saw live, Nik Bonnito’s athleticism, the AHP secondary vs DBP and of course the Bosa brothers knowledge of the game and their athleticism and strength.  Nick as a 9th grader starting at DE at 215-220 was fun to watch.

How old were those kids when they started juicing? I heard middle school, but can’t imagine that to be true.

Lol. In hindsight I should have had Groots instead of Beurlein. If I included more than 5 players I would have those others you mentioned.

I was going to Put Regan Upshaw, Aaron Taylor and even Amani Toomer on my list, but I didn’t actually see them in person, just read about them in the Newspaper…. 🤣

Cant believe I left off Najee Harris, saw him against DLS and he reminded me at the time of watching DJ Williams…. He looked like a Man Amongst boys out there!!!…

And that is saying something because both Isaih Foskey and Henry To’o To’o were on the same field that night, but I think they were Sophomores if I remember correctly…. 🤣🤣

HA!…. I was at the 99 game as well and I remember that hit!!!…. And didn’t Groots alternate at QB with Leinhardt who was I think a Sophomore at the time?…. I know he played some QB in that game but mostly RB….

What stuck me about that game was how many MD fans were at that game!!!… It almost seemed like there were more than at the 98 game but there is no way that could be true…. But it was Impressive how MD traveled!!!….

😎 Thanks for the accolades. I think I might’ve mentioned it before (years ago). Obviously, everyone in our league knew he was going to be something special.
