  1. I never said it's the only thing that matters but let's not act like Samples is out here doing this without having one of the top 3 rosters in Texas yearly. I guarantee if SOC and Duncanville switched coaching staffs for the game that Duncanville would still win going away. How many coaches in Texas could win with this exact Duncanville roster right now? The problem is they couldn't build it like Coach Samples and that's what makes him great. It's that he can attract the top end talent in one of the top 3 hot beds of talent populated areas in America. I'm a huge coach Samples fan but I have always been it's more about the Jimmy's and joes then the X's and O's. You guys acting like I called him a bad coach. I just said they ain't running nothing special they just got better players and that is 100% true.
  2. I'll admit it's higher then I thought but it was also about 4 or 5 kids on that list I wouldn't consider D1 but more of FCS. You think a kid really choosing Texas Southern over Ole Miss if he has a committable offer? I would be interested in seeing this list closer to signing day once the official offers roll in. They don't have a Malik Muhammed level kid this year. None the less I concede they have a lot more then I thought.
  3. Some of them kids have no offers and PV and Texas Southern not D1. I'm sorry it's not. I counted 8 in the 24 class. Not even close to 20 D1 offers
  4. I don't know where you got that number from but they have 4 kids in there 24 class with D1 offers and all of them are low 3 star recruits. And I could only find 1 in the 25 class listed on 247 with a legitimate D1 offer. That's 5 kids total. I'm not saying every kid is listed on 247 but most with legitimate D1 offers are. I'm just saying they don't have 18 kids with legitimate D1 offers right now.
  5. I'm just saying it's not all about coaching. That stops at a certain point when the talent gap is just to wide. Coach Acosta at De Valle can't win a game but at IMG he won some really big games. Did he forget how to coach or did he just have better kids at IMG? Coaches get way to much blame when teams play bad because parents don't like to admit they kids ain't very good. Samples is a great mentor and has a reputation that attracts the top kids. They literally run the same basic stuff and blow teams out not because the play call was amazing and I can promise you SOC doesn't have 20 D1 kids on the roster. If Samples was truly an elite coach they wouldn't had gotten boat raced by Mater Dei two years ago.
  6. I don't think so. Legacy and Marshall were about even in the scrimmage and JT and Marshall looked about even in the game. This can go either way but I think Legacy might be just a little better.
  7. Unless you play IMG or Mater Dei then it doesn't matter if Lincoln Riley was calling the plays for Lufkin. Would it matter who our coach was if we played Duncanville? I'm just saying it's nice and all to have a quality coach but I don't care how good he is when you play against teams with a significant talent gap. Duncanville is real elementary in their approach offensively. Nothing special and it doesn't matter against 99% of teams they play. Coach Samples has better kids then just about everyone else. Quick could coach that team right now to the state game. Samples isn't so much a x's and o's guy as he is a talent acquisition guy.
  8. I've said a kid has to want it for years. I don't care how good a play call you draw up if you don't have the kids to execute it what difference does it matter. It's always going to be about the Jimmy's and joes more then the X's and O's most of the time.
  9. Texas high over Lonestar. McKinney had a really good team so no surprise there for me.
  10. Lufkin could had won by 40+ points if Quick wanted to.
  11. You must not know what you're looking at if you really think 18 carries for 149 and 2 TDs is being stopped. They literally had the subs in there in the 2nd half. They definitely would had put up at least 2 more tugs and last season the kicker only missed 1 FG and maybe 1 xp. Friday night will be an anomaly that kicker is a stud. That probably had more to do with the snap and holder which will improve. Legacy returned 15 starters and Lufkin made them look elementary.
  12. What? our starting RB and QB didn't even play past 1 series in the 3rd. Lufkin could had won that by 40+ points. Lufkin had 493 yards of offense. Legacy has 200. Legacy had 0 chance last night.
  13. Kinda what I'm thinking. Maybe last season but I would give McKinney edge this year
  14. Not going to lie I was surprised a bit
  15. I wouldn't worry about it to much. Offensive lines can take time to gel and with that defense you guys have is going to be problematic enough. I'm confident the Lufkin defense can slow down the Longview offense this year (hopefully for my sake) but if I'm being honest I'm trying to figure out can we score enough on that defense because they looked really good last night.
  16. I'll say this. Lufkin defense is going to be comparable to McKinney in the front 7. I don't think Longview will be able to show up this season and Lufkin will roll over. I still like Longview but I think it's a 4 quarter game
  17. McKinney would give Aledo all they wanted too. You do realize they beat Allen last year and lost to SLC by 7. I saw them in person last year when my kid played for Temple. That defense is no joke.
  18. Half of that McKinney defense is committed to D1 or P5 schools. Tatum is a stud but McKinney is a really good football team.
  19. I remember listening to that game on the radio. Lufkin needed that win to remain in playoff contention. Kedren Young just recently broke Manns single game mark last year. Can't remember the exact number. I'm expecting him to have another huge year.
