This is 100% true. It happens at the district and regional levels just as bad.For every kid who makes the All-State team, there are two others who are equally deserving. So much politics and other BS goes into the teams that while they are a great honor for those who make it, those who don't should not get upset. A lot of the all state teams are stat driven. So if you were a great player on a great team, you might sit out the second half of a lot of games and not have the stats to compare with some guy who played on a 6-4 team that had to play the entire way for 10 games.
I guarantee you that those kids you mentioned are going to be much more proud of that ring they will get than the any postseason honors that they may or may not get.

Who is Goad as kicker?From Salem I think the following kids will be considered:. Riley Fox lb. Tucker wr. Beckley qb. Pinello te/de. Goad k. Grey Wolfe OL. (Did I leave anyone out?). Mags coach of the year
This is all correct. Now there's just the VHSL Coach's picks. AP's stopped posting an All-State last yeAr. The VAPreps one is probably the best but's it's pretty remarkable how similar they are to the VHSL final choices in the end.All-State used to come from the old 1st team all-region players, and those essentially came from the 1st team all-district players. Meaning you had to make the first two to be considered for all-state. The VApreps version is done by the analysts and moderators (string-pullers) and is more stat oriented and sometimes recruiting offer inflated as to who makes it but generally is very indicative of who balled out across the state.
Craft definitely has to be considered for All-State. He already has proven next level range and accuracy.Meant Craft
That was as a Sophomore. Very rare. Practically makes him a lock this year.Tucker all state last year
I agree.. The bigger question is does he start receiving D1 interest? Seems to me to have the full package. Also will be interesting to see where he shows up on the pre season top in state prospects lists.That was as a Sophomore. Very rare. Practically makes him a lock this year.
DI is about the measurables. Size and speed.I agree.. The bigger question is does he start receiving D1 interest? Seems to me to have the full package. Also will be interesting to see where he shows up on the pre season top in state prospects lists.
Not questioning that as I have first hand experience with this. However, I also watch a ton of college football and I see kids all over the country excelling with very similar measurables. Speed and athleticism isn't a weekness of Tucker's. He may be on the shorter side but then again so is Ryan Switzer (5' 9") and look what he's done at UNC (All American and one of the best WR/PR in that schools hiatory).DI is about the measurables. Size and speed.
Here's the issue. You have a really good player. He does everything you want. But you have another kid who's faster, taller and very athletic. Can't catch a cold running naked in Antarctica but you need to offer him over someone else. Why? Because you lose your job if you don't.
That's DI recruiting.

No but I figured it was implied since you were directly responding to my text in reference to Tucker. I would have thought a generalized statement would have been more suited as a stand alone post rather than a direct response. Looks like I just misunderstood.. my bad.Did I mention Tucker?
You were right to assume that.No but I figured it was implied since you were directly responding to my text in reference to Tucker. I would have thought a generalized statement would have been more suited as a stand alone post rather than a response. Looks like I just misunderstood.. my bad.
The only thing you can correctly assume is how DI recruiting works. The names of the players are irrelevant.You were right to assume that.
Almost every knows that it works that way. Your response came directly after a post about Tucker, in fact you quoted that post. I would have also thought that your post, while being general, would also be a response about Tucker.The only thing you can correctly assume is how DI recruiting works. The names of the players are irrelevant.
