I wish there was self check-out available here in Peru, but the bag boys who carry your groceries to your car no matter where it is parked, and never accept tips, those guys I REALLY appreciate.
Starting a thread is still out of my league, lurking and laughing is just my old-guy style. Thanks to all who work so hard to make this site so ridiculously fun to read and learn from.
I like the idea. Making TKP website a one-stop shop to see those tweets, instead of having to search and go through individual twitter pages.
Him and Todd Nolen will room together.
The thing with the beach district is that you can START at an academy freshman year. Most of the schools in the beach district have an academy you can choose to go to while you live out of the school zone.
I went to Salem and played soccer. It def happens for soccer. There was one point where the majority of Cox was all from one Beach FC club team, another Beach FC team was Kellam, and FC was all from one VA Rush team. We even had a player from Salem who considered going to FC his jr or senior year just because almost all of his VA Rush/ODP team was going there. He decided against it but that ODP year was one of the best Virginia had ever had and they were all from the beach district. Pretty sure that was the year FC won states but they may have only won regionals.
I always heard rumors that it was really bad when Beatty was at Landstown.
Logan Heastie I think first went to Landstown (he played soccer as a keeper as well as football) and then went to Great Bridge. Not sure what/if there was a 3rd school. He actually could have been better at soccer as a keeper than as a WR. I swear I remember him being recruited by a few decent schools and if he had even remotely focused on soccer he could have gone farther than he did in football
OT a little... but does anyone have any intel on Tim Settle enrolling this summer? much appreciated.
Can he play tackle instead of G tho?
other posters have posted an idea about the title similar to mine and I would like to apologize, I quickly scrolled down, to post to the comment section, without seeing your posts. I know, I am new, so I don't want anyone to feel like I took their idea.
ummm... do you want to work for free? If his purpose is not to sell the magazine for money, what would be the purpose of the magazine, a hobby?
Joe,
I just saw this thread and something just popped in my mind.
1. under the recruiting subhead, create both a football & basketball recruiting directory(already there)
2. create a form field feature that only allows users to enter a header that shows (recruiting year, name, position, state) a standard format, so each recruit will have their own thread
3. ask the moderator(s) to make sure double headers are eliminated or code them out in the header form
4. allow these threads to show recent post first, rather than original post first. (this will keep the recent information at the top so you don't have to scroll to the bottom)
5. I am not familiar with how the TKP forum rearranges posts but i believe the most recent activity moves the thread to the top, which will prevent you from having to scroll for a recruit with recent information. Of course the source post will have to scroll but they will reap the rewards of legs.
This approach takes little effort to maintain, is fairly simple to implement and helps to easily navigate the various recruits with out having to go through every thread to find information on one recruit. All the recruit's information would be in one thread and it would self maintain itself. I believe no other site does this either, personally I would love it, its a pain in the arse to have keep clicking and reading 500 threads to find information on one recruit. If all the recruits information was in a thread on that recruit alone it would make life so much easier.
also if the information is irrelevant it can easily be down voted, which would require no changes
I would never want that line up. Even if you were to win all three, you'd take a beating physically.
How seriously can one take any conclusion(s) from a panel that includes Heather Dinich as an expert member?
It is the visor, and the fact that he gels his hair... and THEN puts on the visor.
(If Notre Dame is going to be a snobby princess of an organization and hang on to their deal with NBC I say f*** 'em)
Many Legs!
Pretty sure Mike London already hits the Day Cares.
If you believe what he is saying it's because you want to believe it. It's because you purposefully want to ignore the obvious facts . It's because you want to go there regardless. Anyone who's being objective could see that they're going to get hit.
I'm not really making a point about the article itself, just the comment above mine saying it's absurd to expect an article thats typically behind a pay wall to be up to date at the time of its publishing.
I'm not trying to berate the article at all, I think its great what he does
I know for a fact it goes on in soccer. Happened at one of our local high schools in the late 80s and through the 90s. I talked to some grads and the coach apparently actively scouted nearby clubs to get the players and they were absurdly successful. States every year etc etc and often sent 3-4 kids D1 which is impressive coming from graduating classes of around 600-700
I'd love to see how accurate this is n three years...someone save this!
Close enough to Cali for a lot of kids from there.
Logan Heastie, right? I think it was fairly well known among Virginia recruitniks at the time that he was overrated. That one was always baffling.
Absolutely small world. I'm only in town today with future Mrs. VT_Fencer looking at wedding venues.
I heard some troubling news today from someone who is very close with Christian Beyer, said that Buzz told Malik he wasn't good enough to play for him. I know he operates differently but that's brutal
