You’re not recruiting if the kids are already in your district. The recruiting comes when a private school comes from 30 miles out an recruits/swoops the studs up. It’s okay I get it. The difference is the public coaches are trying to keep the kids in there district. There really is a difference. At the same time I realize the privates have to try. My problem has always been why don’t the privates go after the average kids if it’s only trying to get gets to come to their school. 😂

CS8 Predictions-Week 1

If the Rockets are sluggish early, it could be a long afternoon.

I'm looking to the CBC-SHG score as something of a marker for Rochester-Ritter next week. Not a perfect comparison but think there is some validity to it.

All... I55 South on the road terrible lots of precip and more to come. Hope the turf drains through pouring rain in St. Louis. Fwiw the latest from Massey projection if the two Missouri Catholic teams that the Cyclones and Rockets will face early in the season would be.... CBC 38 Ritter 28. (66%) Ratsy

It’s a Prep School so you can have a Prep year that doesn’t count against your NCAA eligibility. This school doesn’t play for NJ State Title so it does not have to abide by the NJHSA rules. They had several 5th year Seniors. MC knew this, they took the game for what it was, a great challenge.

McCaravan,

First off it’s been awhile since we talked, thank you for your continued service protecting the people of Chicago! Regarding NJ football this is what I was talking about when I cautioned people here about pushing private schools out of IHSA. All Catholic and private schools are considered part of the prep league in NJ and I believe it’s around 70 schools. Having no rules from the state organization allows them to recruit kids from anywhere they want including the 6 states with proximity to Princeton NJ(theoretically they can recruit FL, T , and CA if they want to). Parents many times help to house students from out of state for the school and become extended families. I doubt The Hun school goes undefeated this season, but they are certainly better than I expected this season. Finally, I’m hoping that the public/private debate eases because this policy and game result illustrates the way the private schools in NJ can cull together all the talent in the state thus watering down the public schools because they can all offer scholarships to their preferred players without breaking any rules.

Records and history say you're wrong. But do you, my guy. Mold this into any shape you want to fit your narrative. The numbers show QND would do far better than 2-7 since 2000 if they were members of the CS8 as it currently exists. The Mendoza line begins below Chatham in your world, I figured a smart guy like you could have figured that out. Not a single program outside of the big 3 in the CS8 have been relevant in their class... ever. Their playoff records that I provided prove that. Their overall records since 2000 prove that.

"QND does not belong in either of the Central State 8 divisions" is easily one of the most off the wall, ignorant statements I've ever read. No one belongs in any conference based on this logic. And the stalest cigar said he'd rather have MTZ... 🤣🤣🤣

Edit: Didn't miss anything on the stats bud. Glenwood's 1998 state title didn't fit into the years I used. Pretty simple to understand. 2000 came AFTER 1998. In case you were confused. Records from the IHSA prior to 2000 are tough, spotty, have some holes.

Ahhh, so you’re manipulating the data to suit your purpose. Got it.

As for the Mt Zion comment, odd that I would make that comment just a day before this attached article was posted. You don’t belong in the CS8. Mt. Zion does.

Since QND hasn't played a game in the CS8 we have zero idea. However we do have samples, sort of... QND in the MS6 in the mid 00s. QND in the big 12 during 2020. QND faired just fine against schools larger than them.

No one, most especially myself, came in here and claimed QND were world beaters, could win the league, even compete for the league, or wouldn't have any lumps to deal with making this transition.

Cigaros took it upon himself to throw out ignorant senseless commentary about how QND doesn't belong where they are. Blindly ignoring the fact that outside of SHG and Rochester the conference is as pedestrian as he claims QND is. It's really tough, when you look on paper, to even justify putting Glenwood in the same category as Rochester and SHG. Because they don't belong there if you're using playoff success as a barometer.

My point remains that the majority of the CS8 is mid to well below average in terms of program "success." Being a relative term there. I gauge success on playoff berths, depth of playoff runs, and overall records. Someone may do it differently. But, on paper, the historical data and AI proves I'm not wrong. QND will hold up just fine in the CS8. Wildly claiming they don't belong is just egocentric bullshit that cigaros feels needs aired out because he too has an obvious lack of knowledge of QND and it's program. I don't mind. We welcome all challenges, as evidenced by the decision to join this league in the 1st place. Let whatever suburban schools benefitting from the failing urban public districts of the city they're attached to live with the targets on their heads. Let them thump their chests and remind us all they're fantastic and we suck. I don't care. I'm just here defending the fact that QND belongs in the CS8 as much or more-so than the majority of the conference.

Calpreps, for what it's worth (which is little), has QND at 62-43 overall since 2003 (21 seasons) against the CS8 West division, where they'll be playing.
The breakdown of records versus each team in the CS8 West...
QND vs. Jax- 11-10
QND vs. SHS- 14-7
QND vs. Lanphier- 20-1
QND vs. SHG- 0-21
QND vs. SE- 16-5

Let me guess. You did stats for QND football when you were in school!

Hun QB, Jack Moran, is one of the most accomplished high school (prep school, rather) passers I've seen in years. Moran reads defenses well, has advanced mechanics and excellent feet, has a beautiful release, and impeccable accuracy.

Very impressive player. I was pleased to see him in person last night.

Was he one of their players in their post high school graduate program? I know Hun has such a program, but their maxpreps roster only shows the traditional four class years. According to The Hun website, "Hun postgraduates are full-time boarding school students and members of the senior class. They take full course loads and participate in activities, athletics, extracurriculars, and social events."
