Sigh... your bias is showing, CalPreps projects 2016 matchup as 46-3 IMG. IMG is supposed to be better next year. MC is at its best when they can overpower teams at the POA and own the trenches, they love to eat clock and I can see why that would lead people to think that they could keep games close but not against a team as loaded as IMG on the DL. Look at it man. They have 8 DL with power 5 offers, EIGHT. That's just what's out there so far, more offers to come and more transfers to show up. When IMG is playing the whole game 3 feet behind the heels of the OL it'll be awfully hard for MC to control clock. The game will get out of hand quick as IMG will score at will and when one dimensional MC tries to throw because box is overloaded IMG's supreme athletes in the defensive backfield will handle MC's average receivers one on one with zero issue. Unless you think college coaches are just completely overlooking the whole state of Illinois the aren't even close to IMG caliber. Actually you can probably put together an all star roster for the entire state of Illinois and IMG's roster is still more impressive. Btw please make note that Houston Griffith was the chosen one at MC and many attributed their struggles to his departure (probably fair) he only played garbage time at IMG last year, the #37 2017 player in the country and a kid every college wants wasn't good enough to crack the lineup for his high school team. That should be pretty telling...
Edit: I'll leave it at that before someone cries about "hijacking the thread".
