Pretty sure if I read right he’s coming out of a decent Houston area league …
Those aren’t the type of players in Texas that are viewed as under the radar types
It still happens. Eddy played at Gorman next to a 5 star and multiple other D-1 guys. Bobby Wagner went to camp at USC and Pete Carroll didn’t even notice or remember him. Baker Mayfield was a walk on and was the QB of a high school that has churned out tons of good college QB’s.
It’s a fair point and it’s very possible that you may see a higher % of this than normal with the impacts of COVID the last 2 years
Seattle Times had an article about exactly this last week. The drop in local kids getting offers due to COVID impacts, even at lower levels, versus years prior is pretty significant.
It’s going to have long standing impacts over the next 2-5 years IMO
I definitely think it has a chance to show up in the shadows of the bigger areas and districts …
I’m much more intrigued about the twins given their journey (not to mention there are elements that hit a bit home for me) than a kid out of Houston (he should have had exposure)
