Didn't SOC put out something like 18 or 19 D1 players in 1971 or 72, the class that has Wayne Morris and a couple of others to SMU?

Most of them would not pass here, sorry. We make our student athletes perform in the classroom. The second part of my post is the most important. Why come here and have to bust your [deleted] on and off the field when you could go to a higher profile school and slide regarding the classroom part. IJS....................

How do you know most would not pass here? Hopefully you are not stereotyping those kids.

One of the signs of our program getting better is the fact that our guys no longer have to "bust their [deleted]" to a degree different then thier counterparts - and in fact the DISD kids could skate by quite easily at SMU - and its about time. We are no longer in the Pye era - you need to get current.

Stallion wrote: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.

The 1988 Dallas Carter team had something on the order of 6 players implicated in 15 robberies, but Derric Evans and Gary Edwards were the players who were handed the heaviest penalties. They were exceptional, even amazing players. Evans was an All-American defensive back with a ride to Tennessee...Edwards, who incidentally was the player that created the playoff controversy over being ineligible/not ineligible, had a ride to UHouston. They had nearly their entire team go to some college program or another...counting Div 1AA and others as well. Was the most talented high school defense I have ever witnessed on a field (didn't see Yates in the early 80s). Fast...strong...undisciplined but with an incredible sense for where the play was. The only teams that gave them any real trouble that year were Duncanville, Marshall, and Permian. It is a real shame that Edwards and Evans never saw a college field. I would've like watching them play.

If Skyline is anything like that Carter team talent-wise, this will be a fun autumn to watch them.

Because if you don't make it in the NFL, you want to make sure you won't be busting your [deleted] doing day labor or sliding a mop across a floor?
