It's just been broken from a leadership and organizational perspective. Having Lewis back will help.
Are the Escalades full of FB Players again ?
All of the above. IC has Bellwood/Maywood locked down with recruiting.
I don’t have any knowledge of Montini, but have believe it’s a combo of local kids playing elsewhere. The west burbs are so flush with talent and good teams, both private and public. Nice thing about that is I think it’s just a matter of time before Montini gets the ball rolling and makes the jump back to contender.
Not one person said this bud. Just asking why.
Western Cook County produces some very good football talent. In the past Montini had players from this area. Its easy to see why IC and Naz now own this turf. Then they have St. Francis to the west in Wheaton.
Not to mention York, GBW, WN as championship contenders in Public sector, plus decent area public programs like Willowbrook, GBS, GBE, DGN, etc - all right in Montini’s backyard basically.
All this is true but still doesn’t answer the question of why Montini gets players but they don’t stay.
If they were winning games they’d stay imo. Cam Williams was a freshman 3 years ago which was around the time when Montini really started slipping. Not sure on IMG players but I imagine it’s similar. Just off cuff thoughts tho.
Bukovsky is a great guy. Playing for Andriano was a badge of honor!
The same could probably be said about playing for Ken Leonard. Now that he is no longer at SHG, it remains to be seen what, if any, impact that will have on the football program. Will families elect to send their kids to Rochester (to play for Derek), Chatham Glenwood, Springfield High (CS8 schools), or will they consider such school districts as Williamsville, Athens, or Auburn? The Cyclones' success moving forward may depend on how many athletes decide to attend SHG to play basketball for Coach Tim Allen, as was the case (I believe) with KeShon Singleton, Ty Lott, Richard Jackson, and J'Veon Bardwell. These basketball players were all instrumental to the Cyclones' football success the last couple of years.
What is ironic is thinking you said something clever when it was actually not even close to clever. Public schooling?
I got to see him Friday… first impression is he’s real big, a lot bigger than most of the P5 D1 recruits in the state. Speed is there too. Can’t wait to see him play for ND!
