Turns out nobody in college football knows about my kid.
Good.
This is how you sneak up on teams. I’m guessing by week 9 he will be a known commodity just in time for schools to discover he is the commodity they need. The feeling this season is that he and his entire team are going to sneak up on people. That is the only feeling you can get after winning but one game in three years. My boy appeared in 8 games (supposedly) last year, but only really played in about half those games. When he did he shut down the opposing WR. He locked up some of the top guys in the conference and only allowed 1 catch against a dude that was drafted to the NFL in the mid rounds this year. That’s not half bad for a 17 year old trying to establish himself. Wait till you see what he does with 18.
The same can be said for the high schooler. They won two games last year and forfeited those wins due to bad paperwork. When you look at the teams in 6A with the easiest schedules, 5 of the 10 easiest have Desert Vista on it. That’s sneak up on you numbers. The thought is that the defense cannot stop anyone in the pass or run game and the offense is not capable of consistent scoring. The run part has been true, but the kid at free safety this year is mine, and he intends to change that. If he does, he’ll be known too. That is what they both need.
