I'm curious to see if playing 4A ball affects his offers in a couple of years.

Really? Sense when does it matter among 4 and 5a schools? They're about the same talent wise

[BERT]

I doubt it. Southlake was 4A for a while with Chase Daniels. The fact that there are ESPN articles on this kid makes me think finding a good school to go to won't be too hard.

He can go where ever he wants to go. Just like Barry Sanders Jr. will, even though he's playing for a small private school in Oklahoma.

There's a difference.

A very rare exception.

There might still be a small difference, but that gap is get smaller and smaller each year. If somebody told me that Aledo or Lake Travis was going to be playing Trinity or Pearland, I wouldn't at all have been surprised if one of the 4a teams won.

There's a difference.

Not much. Not like going from 4A to 3A. So get out of your "5A is the greatest of all" approach

A very rare exception.

My point being, if you have talent, you have it. No matter what classification you play in. So quit being hard headed

Now why are you going back to being a dick? Are you still mad about me proving you DEAD FUCKING WRONG about Gilbert? Do you want to get slapped around AGAIN? Lighten up...If you think Aledo's front line can hang with Trinity between the tackles (265-295), you're just wrong. I know you're a "GOD" on HS football (LMMFAO!), but did you even look at those two rosters or watch them play?


Pssssst...there's also quite a difference between 3A and 4A.

[Vertnut]

Not really.

Wrong. Look at the above post, please.

Talent at a certain level...it's called "big fish in a small pond". I've experienced it personally and several times in my family. Baseball, track, football, basketball...you name it. Now if a pitcher can throw 95mph in 2A, he can throw 95 in 5A. There's just a bigger talent pool in 5A. There IS a difference. You must be from a 3 or 4A school?


This is getting fun!

A quick example: Texas State XCountry Finals, last spring.

3A winner boys: 15:31 3A winner girls: 11:37
4A winner boys: 15:07 4A winner girls: 11:06
5A winner boys: 14:41 5A winner girls: 10:55

Did you really just bring cross country into a football dicussion? wow

[Nash B.]

Less than a 5% difference between 4A boys and 5A boys. An average would be more telling, and I'd expect to see the difference in average times under 2%.

No shit, that's what i said up there ^^^^

and you proved me wrong? Really? If it happens again next year, THEN you'll have proved me wrong. I'll make sure i write this down


and no, i'm not being a dick........................... yet

It's all the same. Bigger talent pool= better athletics. Maybe not ALL the time, but most of the time. How will you prove your football theory? I remember when Ennis was 4A state champs (2001?) and a decent 5A (Desoto?) whipped their ass like they were a Pop Warner team.
