Talent level in CCL Blue is pretty impressive

[Topiary]

I think MC has 9 guys with at least one FBS level offers and another 2 with FCS
Dean of Selection can give his take on them

Rice has 8 with FBS offers and another
Liggins - DT (Senior) - most of B10 and B12 - couple of SEC
Sullivan - DE (Senior) - couple of FCS offers
Gray - QB (Senior) - West Point and a couple of FCS
J Green - WR (Senior) - a couple of MAC offers and some FCS
E White - DB (Senior) - West Point and a couple of FCS
J Davis - RB (Junior) - A bunch of B12 offers
B Parks - DT (Junior) - Pretty much every top FBS program
K McGee - LB (Soph) - Pretty much every top FBS program
J McNamara - TE-DE (Soph) - Pretty much every top FBS program
So there is no reason why Rice should not be able to vye for the Blue with MC - granted MC the favorite but on any given nite who knows

Loyola has 3 guys with FBS/FCs and 3 with FCS ones

Iggy has a couple of guys who should get FCS offers

That combined with their usual "caring and working harder" than every other school should do them wonders this year!

MC has 15 with D1 offers, including 9 that have SEC offers.

CCL Blue often times compete for the same students

It is shocking the level of athletes that come from the same area

Holy Smokes - that's like IMG and ESL level - MC should run the table even in 8A and beat LA and LWE each by 21 with that amount of D1 talent

If the laws of physics prevail. But in a quantum universe, the opposite could happen.

A lot of talent in that 30 mile radius.

Including girls volleyball and basketball

Essentially the 1st and 2ns string of what woukd have traditionally been MMC volleyball and basketball is now split with Marist and ninth schools are still at the top

It's really not that shocking when you consider the 30 mile radius encompasses the majority of the 3rd largest metro area in the country.

If they only had a feeder program..

Totally level playing field...
How many MC kids with offers are from another state. I guess the I in IHSA is just a suggestion

Mt. Carmel running circles around the rest of the state with just how much more they care and try! Clearly you just don't care and try hard enough!

The "I" in IHSA means the schools are located in Illinois, not the residence of its students. Mt Carmel is located 8 miles from the Indiana state line. I would presume they have a fair amount of students, both athletes and non athletes, from Indiana.

The LWE vs MC in 8A should have 2 undefeated and 2 nationally ranked opponents playing each other. That will be a heck of a game since LWE has 6-7 guys who have D1 offers as well.
