Hard to favor the Caravan based on last year's showing. However, based on the number of offers flowing into this year's class, the projection may be accurate. But it won't be easy to run the table. East will be as good as ever, and Loyola is ranked too low at #4. Counting Maine South in the top ten, not to mention Warren, 8A will be a bloodbath.

I think that next year there is a lot of talented teams

With DePaul showing that they are here to stay, will Loyola have a noticeable dip in talent?

In no particular order, that has been the consensus top 5 of recent years. I think LWE will get the nod at 1 with the QB back while MC, LA have to replace theirs.

Not Antioch?

Wow ... 8 of the 10 listed are ...

With MC having a more mature defense is good
But the offensive numbers are going to be very hard to duplicate

That’s why I can’t put them at 1

LWE gets my nod

I would push z Loyola down a few and have DGN in their spot

Do you think that Gordon Tech closed prematurely?

Definitely not. The sponsor congregation (Congregation of the Resurrection) was having trouble keeping the doors open financially and they needed a new religious org with deeper pockets to come in a support it (DePaul). If you look at Catholic schools across the US, in addition to a bunch closing over the last 2 decades, there has been a ton of consolidation on the sponsor side to larger religious congregations who can better support schools financially.

There were some parents of an undefeated Bartlett Frosh team consistently posting updates in the fall of 05. They had their ups and downs but by the end of it they lost in Semis as Seniors.

I think the best part about this was the weekly Saturday afternoon Bartlett Freshman update. “The Bartlett Freshman beat Elgin 66-0 to move to 8-0”

Honestly if you ask the veteran posters on here that has to be one of top 5 most memorable posts in Edgy history. This was 20 years ago!!! It was fun following that group in the playoffs in fall 2008. They were a really good team.

I’d say Sako’s bar is also in the mix for best posts in Edgy history. I don’t remember who was the original poster but it was a year where MC was under .500 with close losses to good teams and was dropping out of the rankings.

With the veteran QB, a sold RB and WR's the offense can go a long way of helping defense by minimizing the 3 and outs on offense. If the QB can manage the offense w/o trying to do too much by himself this team should be a solid contender in the playoffs. He needs to be the general on the field. St. Rita has a history of starting seniors at QB. Because of injuries he went thru trial by fire his sophomore year. A three year starter at QB is anomaly at St. Rita.

As far as a player going both way was frowned upon for years. I feel they need to put the best 11 on the field this year.

Great reading your thoughts, TL. Hope you're feeling good. Thank U.

Btw, I feel the QB will surpass all expectations and be very impressive this year. Just got a good feeling.

@Wittymoniker1 I think the biggest question mark will be on defense. I know they return some key players on offense. Will they use Walter on both sides of the ball? I know of a transfer that has come in that will help the dline. I see 6-3 or 7-2.

Click to expand...

Thank U for the response. I hope they can get to 8 - 1. If Walter can handle it, then why not?

Montini graduated a big Senior class, I believe over 25 guys. Losing 9 starters on a very good defense.

DePaul is set to be a player going forward. It has an awesome campus and great amenities. Moreso, it's location. Academically, I understand it is bordering elite. Local families can save the commute to LA or Iggy and get the same/better education, plus extracurriculars, in a nice neighborhood.

Wondering how Tom Zbikowski arrival at Pats will be with recruiting players. It won't be instant success but I have a feeling he will do really well there

One thing they should have in their favor the next (at least) 3 years will be scheduling. Does the name carry weight with the players or the players’ parents? He was an All American in ‘06 while the incoming frosh class would have been born in ‘11-‘12.
