Top Teams to Watch for 2020?

They had over 50 kids on their soph team. Under what circumstance is that small? Granted it is not the 90 plus the year after they closed North but that wasn't normal.
140 was the starting number after North, they got it down that first season to like 120something. 50 isn't a lot at East compared with the last few years. I realize when you see other teams it seems like a lot.
50 kids on a soph only team is higher than almost every body. The transition years were not normal numbers.
ok cool. Just seems small compared to what we've been used to the last few years, and could explain the conference loss. Maybe not. It's just simply a difference over the last 3 years where LWE has had 1 loss, that we notice in the stands. Nothing to get upset about, Merry Christmas.
How big are Odeluga and Lynch now? The former seemed far larger than 6' 200. I know that style of running [north-south and over defenders] makes one seem larger. But he's a big man.
The listed weights were after summer camp weigh ins so he maybe 210, but 208 of it is muscle. He’s a track guy too...just one of those rare freak athletes that can do it all that programs get once and a great while. Lynch is a legit 6’0 175-180. Close to 6’1.
Coach Frank head coaching days are over. He’s gonna turn 70. He could have taken the Laurence job, he didn’t want it. He’s content with his current position and consulting.
We had (maybe) 50 on all levels combined when I played!
Curious if Bell sticks around...he’s a talented back, he could start on a lot of programs and get noticed more. If he stays at BR he’s going to take a back seat to Shaw.
Transfer Portal is open in Lombard! Likely LGP too...
He runs like Beanie Wells at Ohio State, but on this level obviously. Larger back out of the spread but moves smoothly and pretty quickly. Always gets north and south, leg drive, and lowers his body upon contact while maintaining that drive.
I am really impressed with him. Another great back returning for 2020.
Hopefully he sees that he can be noticed the way Jamal Johnson was despite AJ Henning being on the team at LWE. Badke can certainly find a way to get both of them in the limelight. Rice needs all the talent they can get to compete with the CCL and the rest of the 8A.
To me, the defense is a total wild card next year. They lose players at every level of the defense in Iraci, Jefferson, Warren.
Niles, Notre Dame. Returning seniors have a record of 26-3 since entering the program. Anthony Sayles will be a rare 3 year starter.
Can we trade out to the Orange with Naz?
Resurgent O from PC, SR stacked with a bunch of underclassmen and ND reloading. Hoping the Broncos can get to 2-2 in conference and 2-1 in crossovers. 1-1 in non-con gets them to 5-4.
Wouldn't have made a difference. It was a horizontal rain in a swirling wind. The end zone camera had the advantage of a lower elevation. But the camera with the overhead view got it smack in the face.

Based on the last game WWS returns 9 but they have another 5-6 kids that played a lot. A big thing for them will be if they get arguably their top kid back since didn’t play this year as a Jr.
Including Nate the Great. 5A has some tough RBs returning. Nate plus the Rita kid and Hillcrest kid
Jordan Anderson from JCA also returns. He is only a soph. He will be a Power 5 conference recruit
Enough of you big school guys...How about Clifton Central, 11-1 quarterfinalists in 2A. They had no seniors who touched the ball. So the QB, receivers, and running backs all return from a team that was ranked No. 1 for a big chunk of the season...Brian Spooner may have his first title game team after having two semi-final teams in '08 & '12...
Coal City will be very good again next year. Will return 4 starting offensive lineman who just got 13 games of Varsity experience. One started as a Sophomore. Two excellent skill players coming back with Cooper and Harvey. Another starter is 6'4" split End who will likely move to tight end. Will need to solidify the QB position but there will be plenty of weapons on O. Defense returns 6 starters. Half of the D line, a linebacker and three defensive backs. Will lose a little size on D but there are some good sized Sophs and Juniors that could make the jump. CC will be the favorite in the ICE and should make another good post season run
Why would you put all that information out there?
Because they cannot follow rules of the board
TMI in my book. Whether all this is true or not, it doesn't belong on this board.
