Who's got super sophs?

[Mantis]

If your team had sophmore studs this season that are gonna be big time DI recruits (health permitting) who are they and what position do they play?

SA Madison:

#34 Kris Catlin 6'-1", 215 lbs LB (rumor has it that the DI scouts that came to see Devin Thomas play last spring were collectively drooling over this then freshman) He lead the team in tackles and fumble recoveries in '07 and will likely be one of the high rated linebackers in the country his senior year.

#8 Nate Askew 6'-3 1/2", 210 lbs WR (underused most of the season... had a catch to TD ratio of over 50%) 17 catches and 9 TD's this season. He was a quarterback so only time will tell if he stays at receiver or moves back to QB. This kid will only get bigger and more athletic as time goes on. Look for him to be a blue chip prospect by his senior year.

#23 Tommie Saunders 6'-1", 190 lbs DB (played mostly at nickel back and spot safety with such a talented core of upper classmen in the secondary) His size is uncanny for a sophmore DB and this kid is a big time hitter! Could be a great Strong Safety or Free Safety prospect.

Are those the 3 that got thrown out of the Katy game? :D J/K

[Mantis]

Are those the 3 that got thrown out of the Katy game? :D J/K

No and it was only two players. I am almost positive who those two players are, both seniors and very good starting defensive football players. That's all I will say as it would not be fair to point them out.

No I know! I was just bustin your :Censor:! I was quite surprised at the score vs Katy. Do you think those personal fouls ticked Katy off therefore erupting for 60 somthin' points?

Both ejections came when the score was 66-14 from what I recall.

[samavsfan23]

Can we stop talking about the ejections already. Yeah it happened but these shameful acts out of frustration don't need to be talked about. They don't deserve to be talked about. Lets try and keep to the subject.

Aaron Green-Soph.-Ran all over opposing teams all year. Needs to learn how to hold on to the ball. Gonna be a D-I fo sho.

[bigdaddydog]

Allen Eagles:

#10, QB, Matt Brown, 6-0, 175 Started 10 good games and one really bad one. :( Matt Came in for the Starting Sr. QB in the first preseason game and never looked back. Will need to get better with passing accuracy, but has great speed phenomenal toughness very balanced runner and passer. Has a great head for football and great decision making instincts. 2008 looks to be a stellar year. It will be a test without top UT recruit WR Dan Buckner on the receiving end.

You can find plenty of video of Matt working his magic on any of my YouTube videos

Rushing - 139 attempts, 928yds, 10 TDs
Passing - 144 of 241, 2420yds, 14 Ints, 25 TDs

#30, OLB, Brandon Henry, 5-11, 190 Started all season and has shown a head for football on par with Matt Brown, but on the defensive side. Brandon Played mostly left side OLB. I don't have his speed stats but I am sure those will surface at some point. His field presence and instinct along with his explosion to the ball are the envy of many seniors. Brandon has great tackling skills with hits and wrap ups that will no doubt continue to make him an impact player for the Eagles in years to come.

Video of Brandon featured against Rockwall: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jvfcxh68RE) Rockwall gave Allen, Southlake, and Plano all they could handle with speed and a great pass/run mix. in this video Brandon showed great skill in not overpursueing the play as many older more experienced LBs might have. It payed of for him on this and many other plays this season.

Video of Brandon in the Plano game: (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QnqcjqxB4GE) At :22 of this video Brandon is covering Plano "Superman" Rex Burkhead. Brandon's concentration and skills allowed him to break up that pass play in spectacular fashion. I am sure we will see this match up again next year.

Matt will need to work on his decision making, but overall pretty good for a soph. Sorry, Brandon did not start all year but played ALOT and played extremely well. Actually Cheyanne Urban started from game 2 on at LB. 6'1" 210, and the real deal. The defense actually had about 6/7 soph's playing significant playing time and all have great potential. They have 2 freshman coming up next year, that will have an impact. Bud Spears @ LB and OL man, name escape's me, but 6'1"/6'2" and 280 and very dominate already.

Wrestler Looks to Improve After Great Freshman Year

Wrestler Looks to Improve After Great Freshman Year
Coach Says Sophomore is Already a Leader
By John English
The Southlake Journal

One of the major bright spots for the Carroll wrestling program last year was Stephen McPeek, a freshman wrestler in the 160-pound weight class who qualified for state and actually placed.

McPeek took second in district, fourth in region and sixth at state in the 2006-2007 campaign in a difficult division, and coach Brock Gray said he is excited about his sophomore’s chances after moving up a weight class this season.

“He has good work ethic and intelligence,” Gray said. “He helps with the other kids that are less experienced, so he does a lot for our team.”

Gray said for McPeek to do as well as he did last season as a freshman was quite impressive.

“It’s a great accomplishment for someone like him for his age,” Gray said. “Just getting there was great, but to place sixth was an excellent achievement.”

Gray said McPeek’s greatest asset is his physical strength and conditioning and said he prefers to wrestle from his feet, favoring throws and takedowns over grappling.

Gray said he and McPeek have set some goals for the coming season, which the Carroll coach believes are well within reach.

“We want to be a top-three placer at state,” Gray said. “I think that is a realistic goal for him. It would be nice if we could pull out a title, but he is young, and things can happen when you’re young.”

McPeek said he does not mind working with his teammates and said he wants to do what he can to help his team improve.

“I try to help everybody during practice with what it looks like they need,” McPeek said. “I just want to help the team as a whole.”

McPeek said his major objectives for the season are to win district, region and “hopefully state,” and said he does not feel any added pressure this season, in spite of the outstanding start he got off to as a freshman.
“I learned a lot during the summer, and I tried to learn from the mistakes that I made last year,” McPeek said.

McPeek also plays football, and said the appeal of wrestling for him, like many others, is the personal accountability issue.

“I like it a lot,” McPeek said. “It’s my main sport. I like the fact that you don’t have to really rely on other people. Basically, you can’t blame anybody if you lose, and if you make a mistake, it’s no one else’s fault.”

Brent Shroeder #48 (DS, TE) - Deep snapper for the eagles this season, saw limited action as 3rd string TE but will start next year with Carroll and Harrison graduating.

Drew Carroll #78 (G,T) - Started several games for the eagles this year in both positions in place of injured players. younger brother of TE Matt Carroll, and comes from an athletic family.

:confused: i guess y'all are leaving out freshmen? cuz, there's at least 2 or 3 really big names that are missing from this list that will grace the newspapers almost every week next season.

[LeanderLions3033]

Leanders got 2 that i can think of right now that will really turn some heads next year.

DE Silvio Diaz (6'2" 225) #44-Not sure on any official stats, but he started all 13 games for Leander this year and Coach Gideon is VERY timid about doing this to a player on either oline or dline. From what im hearing, he should be earning all district accolades.

RB/WR/KR D'Angelo Bishop (5'10" 180) #20-Didn't get much playing time this year (partially because of Reggie Hodges), but was the fastest player on the team this year (including Gideon), and will be put to great use next year.

For what it's worth, the last class that was marked this early & this confidently for success was the class of 1993. That class only produced perhaps the greatest team in 3A history. I'm looking forward to watching these kids in a big way. For so many of them to come in with varsity experience as juniors is beyond impressive.

I'm not sold on Saunders yet, i still want to see him make a hard cut on that leg first. He was held out of some situations I thought he would be in this year. He does have good size and will more than likely be a saftey replacing UTEP bound Wiggins or Baylor/TXState/UTEP bound McLean. He has enough size to be a Line Backer a lot like McLean did.

Catlin grew quickly into the possition and his brother was a stand out a few years back. He will be a force with his size and talent.

Askew will be intresting to watch. See what Madison does with him. He has so much tallent I can't see how they leave him out on the WR spot. Remeber he was a QB his freshman year and dominated with Sauders as his running back.

These three with Green and Troy coming up should be intresting. Madison will be replacing some top notch linemen on both sides of the ball but with an undfeated JV squad coming up they should fill in quickly. i still think Madison is two years away from making this level (Reg-Champ) again.

[bigdaddydog]

Hey thanks for the additional information. I gotta get more involved in the QB Club.

Urban is the real deal and I guess I should have said that Brandon had significant playing time all year.

As far as Matt's decision making, I think we both agree that he was functioning at a high level for a Soph. :)

I like the 2009 senior we will have next year as well. Not gonna say it will be a repeat of the regular season this year, but there is lots for the coaching staff to work with. I am more than ready to have a more dominant defense!! :)

Cheers,

P.S. I am still not sure where Pflugerville is... :D

[picperp]

In Austin, a couple spring to mind:

Bowie:
WR DeAndre Perry, 6-2, 205, two-year member of varsity, 42 catches for 611 yards and 4 TDs. Not a blazer but great hands, body control

Westlake:
LB David Durham, 6-2, 215, 50 tackles including eight for a loss and four sacks. Started midway through the season, ILB, also played DT. Good motor.

i had to find out myself and pville is in the northern (?) austin area.

uhhhh, no qb club here, do not have a kid even playing, just to much time on my hands :). The freshman lineman btw is Brad McNulty, huge.

they have a ton of talent in our current soph class. about 6 boys already over 270, they brought up about 4 sophs for our 1 and done, and they are very big boys. Hope they are able to use the size and speed we have to good use.

not 5a and in Mckinney, but at Boyd and Mckinney high both qb's are legit. boyd's will be recruited highly, but not a qb, to small, but mckinney's qb is going to be a 5 star. Zack Lee.

plano east has a phemon freshman at qb also that will be turning heads next year. Can't remember his name off hand either.

Any chance that Kyle maybe plays WR next year and Padron is QB. Chase Daniel played WR for Chase Wasson.

So you are saying that Meger is a bad passer? :D

Hey all I know is they both went up and Rex did not come down with the ball.

Meger gets better next year and Rex is better next year. What about East.

I am really interested in how they look post Smalls? Emens is a SR this season right?

IMO, Williamson and Piland will be battling for the backup spot at QB, with the loser moving to WR.

I'm not sure. Carroll has never been shy about having their best players on the field, even if they're out of position. Wasson himself wasn't exclusively a qb as he came up through the program. We know Daniel played some wr & RD did as well. I know several of our posters that are close to the program expect a dogfight from Padron & Williamson for the starting position, though.

Can't believe I forgot about Piland. How do you see him developing?

I am just saying, looking at the video you showed posted it was an underthrown ball vs a great play by the Allen kid.

Had a few errant predictions this year, but I am going to spot on with this one. Junior to be Brett Renger will will be joining the others mentioned and will get plenty of varsity action at one of the inside receiver positions next fall. Mark it!

Mark this as well- K Will is not going to be catching any passes, unless on a flea flicker.

Yeah I know what you are saying. My first response was in jest. I looked at the video and Rex got way up high in the air. The ball was face mask level. No doubt that if Meger had thrown it higher it would have been a reception.

I am still happy with the Soph. and what he did on that play and many others this past season. for a soph against the Jr. Burkhead I still think it was outstanding. If he was a Jr. then I say it becomes a possible pick. If he was a sr. then I have no doubt that it would have been picked.

You see the glass as half empty and I see it as half full. It is a rarity when there is not some level of "less than perfect" (error) on the part of the receiver or QB. When the DB/LB takes advantage of that for a knockdown or interception then that is great play. When it is on the part of a soph. then it definitely is great play.

We will just have to agree to diagree on this one.

Back to the Post Smalls era. I like East's chance to gel more as a team as well. I have an affinity for East because I have friends and folks that I work with that graduated from there. I also think that East as a fan base has the most class of the three.

I am also interested in what if anything will happen with the coaching next season. Time will tell.

P.S. Anyone got a copy of the Versus East vs Plano rivalry video? I know Dallas Yellowjacket was trying to get a copy also.

Cheers,

Had a few errant predictions this year, but I am going to spot on with this one. Junior to be Brett Renger will will be joining the others mentioned and will get plenty of varsity action at one of the inside receiver positions next fall. Mark it!

Mark this as well- K Will is not going to be catching any passes, unless on a flea flicker.

The man, the myth, the legend.......................Green Day! You cannot stop him. You can only hope to contain him. He'll tell what he's about to do, wait for you to get ready and still beat you! Cold, man, cold. Can't disagree with any of that. If Williamson is 100% by spring, how much heat does he put of lil' Padron? If they're near equals, what kind of wrinkles does Wasson put in the gameplan? Could we envision a Dodge/McElroy scenario where we get two guys significant snaps on a consistent basis?

It's a long way back from Big Sandy...

My gut tells me we'll have two years of senior QB's running the show but anything could happen. It doesn't hurt KP to be playing B-Ball during the winter- has to help with mobility and footwork. Willy has the Football channel 24/7 in his head and is driven by this past years injury. When a season is taken from you, you remember that feeling.

Both are well respected by their mates as leaders. I don't believe we've had this QB situation for awhile where two kids could be so ready to take that job.

I was teased in another thread about Edna. I no longer live there. I grew up in Katy and went to school there. This is not a homer post is my point, and I know that Edna is 2A. But they had a great soph. qb this year. They had only 2 losses this year(one to rice consolidated and on in the poffs). Best year they have had in a while. His name is Cam Jones and he is good. They would prolly won in poofs if he wasn't injured.

certainly, 04 would have been such a year. i'd be surprised if the 3rd man out doesn't transfer as he would start for any prep school in the metromess. it's hard to impress college scouts from the bench.

Careful, DD. Remeber a few weeks ago some folks got their panties in a twist when I suggested that Padron would have started for any other school in the much maligned & hated 5-5A. I stand by my comments, and agree with yours, however some of our sensitive folks will declare Dragon arrogance.:D

[bandofbrothers]

Cedar Hill
(RB) Ben Malena 92 carries-521 yards

I forgot the kicker, Eduardo Camara-came in second in the DFW area in points only to another soph kicker, Cade Foster (SLC). Had a long of 51.

Refresh,... we're talking about jr daniel and ???

Hm, that's quite a risk. Jump to the little A and hope for play time and exposure, or... stay where you are at and wait for your moment with the finest program in the plex... tough call

[green day]

All true, but Piland ain't chopped liver....hence ddaddy's comment....:cool:

Lost my response into cyber world so here it is again...

1) In '04, Chase Daniel is a junior with star quality- who was the challenger for the QB job dad references?

2) small school stardom vs. waiting for your opportunity to play in a premier program. Tough choice but I don't see anyone escaping personally...

you got your years mixed up. 04 had sr daniel and jr mcelroy. greg was ready and would have been very successful had he been called upon. the transfer option is playing vs not. playing at prestonwood academy is infinitely better than mopping up a few times and hoping the coaches camps and combines are good for you.

[EastSIDE]

Yeah I know what you are saying. My first response was in jest. I looked at the video and Rex got way up high in the air. The ball was face mask level. No doubt that if Meger had thrown it higher it would have been a reception.

I am still happy with the Soph. and what he did on that play and many others this past season. for a soph against the Jr. Burkhead I still think it was outstanding. If he was a Jr. then I say it becomes a possible pick. If he was a sr. then I have no doubt that it would have been picked.

You see the glass as half empty and I see it as half full. It is a rarity when there is not some level of "less than perfect" (error) on the part of the receiver or QB. When the DB/LB takes advantage of that for a knockdown or interception then that is great play. When it is on the part of a soph. then it definitely is great play.

We will just have to agree to diagree on this one.

Don't get me wrong, the kid looks good, I was just referring to the one play.

I really believe EAST will be for unified next year.

Corey Nelson of Dallas Skyline was an AP second team defensive lineman.

I am mixed up, combination of too many birthdays and holiday cheer, I suppose. I forget we play football in one year, graduate in the next.

[green day]

I will struggle with the other point raised. I've known a few recently ( Hess, Zier, Biggers) that have traded uniforms and I'm sure they have wonderful memories but did(are) they more noticable elsewhere? Perhaps Prestonwood is a different story, not familiar with them but heard they have a good baseball thing going? Wondering if Greg would be wearing Crimson had he got out of Dodge...

i am specifically talkin about the 2 09 qbs. both are worthy of starting somewhere. to do that, one will have to transfer. the ones you named weren't quite as talented, i don't believe.

What about Plano West's Jackson Jeffcoat. Arguably the best D-Lineman in 9-5A?

I think in Midland there are a couple of young sophomore wide receivers...sorry thats all I really know lol.

I think the difference is that in 08 we'll have 3 top quality QB's, and really only 2 will see time on the field....Which of the 3 will have to make the decision?

[SACokeSooner]

SA Holmes OT Nykiren Wellington 6'6 270

[TemCat21]

Got to put Temple's Lache Seastrunk on the map. This year he made All State Honorable Mention. But in the Temple offense he wasnt the main go to guy. He is sure to increase his numbers next year when he is the main back.

Stats for the 2007 Season
1385 Regular Season yards
18 Touchdowns on 116 carries
11.9 Average

He also had 147 yards on 11 carries in the Temple's OT loss to Pflugerville(First Round of Playoffs)
He also had 112 yards, 2 TD's on 7 carries against ranked South Garland. He was named MVP of that HEB Classic Game.

Last year as a freshman he won District 13-5A 100 meters in time of 10.5.
He is already drawing the attention of major schools including the likes of UT, USC. If he stays healthy, He'll be great to watch.

On a side note, Temple should a great team the next two years. This year they had 10 sophmores on varsity, all of which started or got significant playing time.

[Wagnerdad]

Excited about Wagner this year! They had 14 sophmores on varsity last year. Looking forward to watching them this year cause a few of them jump out at you.

David Glasco RB- missed first 5 games due to injury still had 800 yds.
Jordan Jones LB- missed first 6 weeks due to grades. Started at end of year
Chris Cromwell QB- started at beginnig of season. Accurate passer
Bernal Ruiz CB- started most of the year, probably fastest sophmore in city
These guys should be good next year, as freshmen they didn't lose a game!!

[coriv]

I think in Midland there are a couple of young sophomore wide receivers...sorry thats all I really know lol.

Antwan Goodley and Trevor Scurlark. The Bulldogs also had a real good sophomore QB named Jack Bolger on the JV team.

you didnt mention him in your 16-5a list

Judson wont have any super sophs but we will have a super freshman.. he most likely wont see any varsity time until his sophmore year, because our coaches are real wierd about letting a freshman play on varsity

Not sure if one of those juniors will be content with being the second QB that gets playing time, presumably in mop up work. Tough to leave the Dragon nation, but schools don't often give out schollys to jr back-ups. Personally, I think it would be a big mistake to transfer out, but that's not my decision to make.

He put in alot of offseason work on the camp circuit but it worked out alright for McElroy.
