Dallas Skyline

Stallion · Post by **Stallion** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 10:36 am

Skyline now has 8 players who have committed to Division 1A programs plus at least 5 more with Division 1A offers(most several). Without question they will get to 12. And these aren't marginal players for the most part. 7 players rated 5.6 or above by Rivals(don't think I've ever seen that before) They may have a shot at an all-time record for total commitments. May compare to that Dallas Cater team with Jesse Armstead which had somewhere in the neighborhood of 13 Division 1A commitments although 3 went directly to jail.

Because most couldn't pass here and even if they could, they can go elsewhere to higher regarded programs and focus on football, not classroom as they would have to here.............

Last I checked, we had a Skyline grad in our 2009 class. Could be the start of something. Who knows?

Wrong. Chris Frazier, Skyline QB last year, will be a freshman this season at SMU. I think he projects as a DB/WR for us.

Wow.

I have only been on the Skyline campus a few times, but the students I met and the parents all were education first type individuals.

That is a huge campus and you get all types there but overall the administrators do a very good job.

So what do you say about Sunset kids?

I agree - no idea about these spcific prospects - but a Skyline graduate could do fine at SMU - not all DISD campuses are created equal - you should not drop them all in the same basket.

At one time Skyline was a magnet school wasn't it?

Yeah, last year they had a situation where they ended up moving some of the "cluster" programs over to Conrad HS because the school population was, for lack of a better term, getting too big. Caused quite a stir.

All DISD is DISD. Especially Hillcrest.
