No,...my point with that is I could care less about their ratings in high school.  They are there for folks like you to enjoy and are not bullet proof in how they will turn out to be in college..  Murray was all world according to everyone but the coach who signed him.  Now he's gone after proving to not have lived up to his hype.

Again, if you wanted to win a state championship this year run a power option game and chunk the shuck and duck.....(I keep trying to keep this thread on subject).

If your going to captain obvious me like your first sentence above then spare me the effort.

Seriously? Ok, let me know how many actual football programs you have been apart of in your lifetime.  Not as a fan, but actually a part of.  Go ahead I'll wait.  Anytime you would like to get on a whiteboard I would love to school you.

Murray is gone because he wanted out.

I never mentioned ratings once. Just offers. How a player turns out in college does not mean that they weren't elite athletically on the high school level. Signees don't pan out well at P5 college for many reasons, including off the field issues.  But if they're getting P5 offers then they are elite high school athletes regardless of how their college career turns out. And that's what I've said the whole time. Elite high school athletes, not elite college players.

Oh yeah..."offers",.., not "ratings".  Your all about "offers".  That's the be all end all.  My bad.

As for the bolden part...in regards to my use of the term "Elite" players...you said...

...That is not true. They had good high school players, but not elite athletes. Other than Westlake's QB Ehlinger, neither team had legitimate P5-caliber playmakers. And he was elite as a passer, not as much as a runner...

 

I wasn't defining them by "offers".  You were.  Westlake and Lake Travis had elite players.  If they didn't they wouldn't have been in the final game.

1, and I've never coached professionally. But  I still watched 7 of 10 teams run their way to a state title last week.

As to your offer above in bold,..I think we have a guy here named Quoner that may be more to your liking.  I'm not that way.

So you watch, so you know?  7 teams primarily run the football so football is changing? Every coach wants a balanced attack. Lake Travis and Westlake throw the Rock and made it to the title game...I guess they suck

Oh...it's a......who ya gonna believe...me or your lying eyes kind of thing?  Ok.

And I never claimed football was changing.  Just an observation and a question on whether we're starting to see the trend to start swinging back the other way...as it has since Glen and his Indians at the Carlisle School were doing their thing up north.  

Last week one team only threw 5 times, another only 6.  Another threw 12 times while 4 others threw 16 times or fewer.  It could be an anomaly, or it could be a trend.  You probably know the answer to that question better than me.  But it's interesting to discuss just the same.

Just a humble fireman, eagerly soaking in on all the hot teen action he can kram into his peepers over one single weekend. Thanks for the shout out and hope you liked it!

The wing t, slot t, flex bone etc are just formations. Spread teams still run the same plays it just looks different. Everyone wants to be able to run the football. It's nothing new. Please don't make me school you with your fan football knowledge. 

You are wasting your time trying to explain how a throw to a back or WR behind the line of scrimmage is no different than a pitch.

But hey, one is a pass happy offense while the other is smash mouth.
