North Shore coaches are awesome too. I honestly enjoy the chatting with you and some other posters (that have common sense lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but what would Conner be without Scott grooming him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do you too! I agree with you in that 5A and 6A across the board offer a higher caliber of competition for players, which as you say will help in preparation.

His junior year……man, he was like a freshman team QB playing varsity when China Spring knocked us out. Surratt and the QB coach worked with Cuff a ton on mechanics, footwork, etc Last year the way it all came together for Cuff after all the work to improve was very gratifying to see for him. Hey, the other day he and Paddie both had three hits each and Cuff had two home runs, but I can’t remember who it was they beat that day. Cuff is a great natural athlete and we’ll miss him, but we do have Jett Surratt waiting in the wings!!

KrookedWolfe Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) The Tigers will definitely miss Hampton this year. We all wish him the best of luck, but any player is replaceable in Dfield. Will they have the same success? Maybe not, but it allows for other players to step up and let their talent be recognized. His leadership skills to some youngsters will be the most valuable things lost. Carthage gets a good one, but still GO BLUE TIGERS.

Serious question. I am saying: "playing at Carthage will prepare a player for D1 college football as much as any program in the USA". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearEmaGrowlin Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Assuming Hampton is a starter that fills the void left by Ked Harper, senior CB #7, from last season. I wonder, @KrookedWolfe, will we be able to replace Hatten/Roquemore at PR with Hampton as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ANTI Posted February 25, 2023 Author Share Posted February 25, 2023 14 minutes ago, HearEmaGrowlin said: But I thought you were so concerned about player improvement. Playing at Longview as a WR versus playing at Carthage as a WR is a huge disadvantage for your individual development, there is ZERO doubt about that. Quarterbacks and wide receivers are way better coached at Carthage than they are at Longview, no comparison. Quarterbacks, sure. Carthage has produced 1 more D1 QB than Longview since 2009, but Longview has produced a P5 QB. WRs? Jon Writt is a damn good WR coach at Longview and Jalen himself would tell you Writt was largely responsible for his development. He had some good trainers just like any other major recruit but the route running, hands and understanding coverages...that was all Writt. Hale didn't even play WR until he reached HS, he was RB and Safety at Foster MS before that. Also, Longview doesn't prepare you for simply reaching the next level. It's about what you do when you get there and I'd say Longview does pretty good in that department.... 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks HEG. I can guarantee you that Daingerfield will not contest the move. The Tigers have pride and will continue to play. Hopefully SS can prepare him to play D1 ball and he can get on the field early. Time will tell. Good Luck to the Dawgs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonG Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 (edited) I'm a say this. I truly believe none of this movement by Aeryn would be going on had JT had a different coaching staff. The kid grew up in Tyler. It was well known his mother was not a fan of JT's coaching staff. That's the main reason he left. She didn't believe JT staff was capable of coaching her son to be the best athlete he could be. Even though Coach Holmes and company sent many players to the next level and some to the pros. The kid will be a beast wherever he goes. Edited February 25, 2023 by VonG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonG Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Of course. But then again Guyer was great also. State championships are hard to come by. 5a and up have multiple teams with multiple great athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VonG Posted February 25, 2023 Share Posted February 25, 2023 Yeah. I would say so. I don't believe anyone would argue which team had the better staff. It was Coach Holmes 1st year being a head coach. Had Rush stayed I believe JT wins that game and possibly state. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
