I'm sorry but...

[yorkathlete9]

who is this guy from Jamestown that is all over VaPreps and i dont remember him even being on the field. This dudes gettin interest from all sorts of D1 schools supposedly. I dont play on the line defensivly or offensivly, so my only question is does anyone know if this guy is for real?

[GHS_Fan]

The preseason report on VaPreps last year said he was 6-2 260, now he's 6-5 303. Growing fast in the last few months;)

[Jamestown]

LOL GHS you're wrong. He was like 6'3ish during the season and has grown about an inch since then. All the virginiapreps heights are with shoes on, so thats why its 6'5.

I'm not quite sure you know what you're talking about.


And...if he didn't have the highlight film he wouldn't be getting interest period.

[GHS_Fan]

Just quoting articles on VaPreps

[Jamestown]

Virginiapreps never said 6'2 260, so maybe you should quote a little harder.

[brd]

whoa whoa. i dunno how they ran the "junior day" down at oscar smith but measurements were measured without shoes on. lol. yeah whats up with this guy?

[BRD-running-fan]

how the heck do you quote harder?!?!?!:noidea:

[iamnotfromtabb]

he didnt do nothing vs us,
idk he might of been the kid that got hurt
thats prolly why he didnt.

[Flying Fish]

maybe he's just not that good... from what i've heard he's just fat and no real big schools are lookin at him. I'm not sure though.

[yorkathlete9]

they did measure with shoes on at junior day.

[brd]

rule of recruting lineman.

rule #1; if your over 6'4 you automaticly get D1 looks
rule #2; if your over 300 lbs you automaticly get D1 looks
rule #3; if your no good, these looks stop as soon as season starts

dont jump on this guy to quick, wait to see some good play

[Flying Fish]

BRD is the one who told me he was fat and no good.:dance:

[brd]

haha. i just dont remember playin him...... which is a bad sign

[Jamestown]

He's an offensive lineman. You expect him to get 5 touchdowns?

Look, if the kid didn't have the highlight tape he wouldn't get recruited, period. I don't think any of you know what you're talking about, but I do cause he goes to my school.

[brd]

everyone who plays has highlight tape. just sayin, he doesnt stick out in my mind. which means hes just a gargantuan man and not a super incredible athlete

[Jamestown]

Oh brd, if coaches didn't like what they saw on film he wouldn't be recruited. Just get that through your head.

[brd]

dude. if your that big. and obviously semi athletic. your film can be average. and youd get looks. honestly preps was the first time i heard of this guy

[Jamestown]

Dude he's an offensive lineman, I don't know what you expect to see.

[brd]

there are some lineman who are amazingly athletic. pancake blocks allt he time. yada yada yada you know the deal. colleges are obviously looking at him as someone to work on. cause his size gives him potential

[Jamestown]

Well if he was a slug he wouldn't get D1 looks, plain and simple. Of course college coaches want a big guy, but they aren't gonna take someone that has no clue how to play.

[brd]

true... but im sayin he doesnt have to be amazing.

[Jamestown]

If he was the best player in the world he'd probably be committed somewhere, but he's good enough to come out of the BRD and play some D1 football. If the film wasn't good, he wouldn't get recruited. PERIOD.

[brd]

yeah the film was probably ok. but his size gets him recruted

[wawawoowa07]

Deleted

[08SHS]

haha rotflmao

[Jamestown]

brd, you don't know anything about him other than the plain fact that he's getting loads of D1 looks. You haven't seen the highlight vid yet.

[brd]

im a player. i know i dont remember playing him

[Jamestown]

Do you play defensive tackle?

[brd]

really it doesnt matter. becuase if he was so amazing. i would of seen him

[Flying Fish]

DUDE THAT KANGAROO IS HILARIOUS!!!!! i think we have the best 2 avatars on this site.:D

[Jamestown]

jamestown passed so much that game you probably would've just seen pass blocking. Trust me, if he wasn't a good player he wouldn't get recruited. Accept the fact he's getting D1 looks and you aren't, it seems like you're so resistant about a player from omg, JAMESTOWN?!, getting recruited that you wont admit he's probably pretty beast.

[brd]

hes ok and 300 pounds. trust me. love the kanga man haha

[Jamestown]

No, i'm not trusting you cause you haven't even seen his vid. I have, and I see why someone like that is getting recruited.

[Flying Fish]

Can't you guys put your differences aside and realize that that kangaroo is awesome!?!?!?!

[brd]

hes getting recruted becasue hes HUGE and yeah it is a freakin ballin kanga

[Jamestown]

The kangaroo is pretty sweet...as is netherland

[Jamestown]

He's like 6'4 300, thats not MASSIVE compared to some guys you see on rivals. Coaches like what they see on film, which translates into loads of D1 interest from schools.

[brd]

hes perfect for pass blocking.

[08SHS]

he prolly has connections you know cuz j-town has all that money. haha jkjk

but still from what i saw of the tabb-jtown game right before the smithfield york game was alot of passing cuz they were down like 35-19 infact isnt that all jamestown ever did was pass since they were down big in alot of games. so what film are the colleges looking at if all BRD saw was pass blocking isnt that all these low-level D-1 colleges *cough*duke, temple, etc. *cough* are looking at.

[brd]

exactly ------ pass blocking = huge guys getting in the way of people

[Jamestown]

You can go on virginiapreps and read the articles and see all the GOOD schools that are recruiting him. And I have to say, most of J-Towns good run plays were behind him, even tho they didn't run very much. Thats sayin something if you have some good run play highlights on a passing team. Not to mention his good footwork for all that pass protection and not letting any sacks.

[08SHS]

obviously the pass blocking wasnt that good i mean even if he was only sacked 3 times last year, the j-town qb was under enough pressure to throw what 6 picks against smithfield alone.

[Jamestown]

Yeah man, Jamestowns O-line needs to get better as a whole. 1 lineman can't stop everybody...

[08SHS]

i kno the qbs commin back but whos he got coming back to catch it

[Jamestown]

Well if the whole O-line gets better, they can run it behind this D1 prospect and get some yardage. Jamestown probably wont be passing as much, but still needs to keep a balanced game. I'm not quite sure who will be starting WR next year, but one of them is returning. Thats pretty much all we lost was WRs

[GHS_Fan]

Virginiapreps never said 6'2 260, so maybe you should quote a little harder.

I guess I can't read or it really wasn't printed like this.

A portion of an article posted on VaPreps:

August 26, 2006
Preview: Jamestown Eagles
Will Garlick
VirginiaPreps.com Staff

The line is thin, and inexperienced, with Brian Dillon (6-feet-2, 205) the only returning starter. Varacallo will look to sophomores Michael "Dutch" Netherland (6-feet-2, 260) and Ryan Casemeyer, who both played JV last year, to provide blocking up-front.

[Jamestown]

Thats bull, he was 6'3 270 during season. Grown an inch and put on some weight after all that lifting.

[Jamestown]

that measurement was from his sophmore year probably...

[:tiki:20]

jamestown... i think you and 'brd' should
make your own thread so you can go argue
about how big your friend is.

[Jamestown]

idc, i'll argue for 3 years. Whatever it gets for him to admit that to get recruited you have to have good film.

[observer]

Eh, not necessarily.

Woodrow Wilson's (the team I played for years ago...) punter was picked up by a Divison II(?) school to be an offensive lineman. He never played OL, but is 6'5 and near 250+.

[Jamestown]

There is a difference between D2 and D1, but you do make a decent point. However, that also is saying that just because he was big doesn't mean he was a good player.

I really don't even know why i'm arguing this. It just seems so stupid for someone to say you don't have to have good film to get recruited by big division 1 teams. I think brd just needs to not post anymore.

[grey ghost]

Fact: No one at JHS is 6' 5", 303 or whatever.
Highlight films are OK but most college recruiters want a full game tape. This allows a complete evaluation...how many plays does he take a break?,How's his footwork away from the play and downfield? How gassed does he get in the 3rd & 4th Qt? Can he get to the 2nd & 3rd level on the run?

[Jamestown]

He's 6'4 300, as I said before. Measured at junior day with shoes on...just to clear that up.

And Grey Ghost, at this point im sure he knows how the recruting process by now. He has the good highlight tape and has given teams full games as well.

[Jamestown]

And Grey Ghost, I like how your first post was about this...****

[JHSFootball]

Jamestown knows what he's talking about...

[Delta]

umm i'm tired of yall talking about this kid, the only thing i can say is that i caoch in the southside district, but prior to that i played on Graftons team, and you may remember a kid by the name of Shawn Johnson well he was 6'1 245, w/ 355 lb bench 505 squat and got clocked at a 4.80 40. He went DII and he was also first all state DT and second team OT that was on a tem that got eliminated in the first round. Also the difference between D1 AND D2 is minimal he just told me they have eleven starters on defense that were transfers from schools like clemson maryland and Georgia Tech. And also there is a lot like noted by GHS when it comes to watching tape of linemen, I'd say that college coachs tell me that their favorite thing to see is a linemen running fall speed down field just to knock someones head off whether the ball carriers is a head of them or not

[Jamestown]

how does that relate to the topic at hand? What do you mean by it?

[yorkathlete9]

I think he is saying that he doubts this guy compares to Johnson, b/c he doesn't have the numbers such as 40 or the awards like all state.

[Jamestown]

Oh well. College coaches want some guys with some stretch to em. 6'1 245 just doesn't cut it in D1 these days :cool:

[Ddw]

Fullbacks.

[Jamestown]

Offensive Linemen?

[observer]

Kickers.

What are we talking about?

[Jamestown]

idk, DDW wants to play the random position naming game.

Linebacker

[08SHS]

Oh well. College coaches want some guys with some stretch to em. 6'1 245 just doesn't cut it in D1 these days :cool:


Ddw meant that player could play fullback at a d1 school these days.

[Jamestown]

Indeed, but we are talking about offensive linemen.

[observer]

Who uses a full back?
And there is no way that would pass for a fullback. Sorry.

[Jamestown]

Yes, observer is right. But we should stay on topic about offensive linemen, including the one from jamestown

[Ddw]

Who uses a full back?
And there is no way that would pass for a fullback. Sorry.


Well, I know that Jamestown wants to control the conversation. However, the problem with Smithfield over the last two years was their lack of a fullback and Grafton's success was because of theirs. Pelchy and Bayse were keys to Thaxton's success, and he would be the first to admit it.

[08SHS]

actually micah boone was a pretty good full back.

the problem with smithfield is The curse of Cheif Tahkumbako. see when the europeans came here 400 years ago they stole cheifs land and founded smithfield. now smithfield can't beat the southampton INDIANS. that and the combination of superstars like poutier and thaxton account for 2 losses and a road playoff loss.

now with the curse broken and superstars gone look out here comes a home post season win.

haha srry :focus: as you wish

oh and if jamestown wants a good running game like they say they have then they might want a 6'1" 225 lb fullback

[Jamestown]

I'm not trying to control the topic, I'm just pointing out what this particular board was made for.

Anyhow, I think Jamestown could use a fullback but they will have a pretty good running game regardless.

[brd]

just wanna hear what yall got to say. who you thinks gonna have strong lines next year and why?

[08SHS]

tabb and smithfield- lots returning
southampton and grafton - dem boys alaways big

[Jamestown]

Jamestown has all returning too and they big

[08SHS]

and they did nothing last year unlike the teams mentioned above. you cant be mentioned as one of the best till you play like the best.

[Jamestown]

I thought we were making predictions for next year, not dwelling on past season.
My bad

[08SHS]

we were hence why i said southampton and grafton because they are always big that is a prediction for this year. smithfield and tabb was based off of there starters coming back. i'll give you that.

however next time you try to call someone out make sure you arent makin your own self look retarded. "jamestown has every one coming back and they big too"
your whole"prediction was based on the "big" linemen from jamestown coming back. i simply stated they didnt do anything last year so whats different now they can bench 185 and got mesured at junior day with 3 inch stillettos on?

[Jamestown]

All I said was that I think jamestown was going to have big linemen back next year and I think they will do pretty good, thats all.

I didn't insult anybody

[yorkathlete9]

Jamestown i understand you are gonna be biased towards your school but you can't always predict JHS to be good in everything. I meen no matter what it is you think Jamestown will be good. There are other schools and we want predictions from the whole leauge not just JHS.

[08SHS]

thank you

[Jamestown]

YORK, you tellin me? Ok I know. I'm just going for my team, he asked what we thought about O-line and I said I think jamestown will have a pretty good/big one next year. Then he turns around and insults our players saying they're weak and lie about heights. I thought we had the height thing cleared up but ham hog wants to bring it up.

[08SHS]

"he" "he" all these hes you mention are different people. BRD asked i responded then you come rantin and raving about jamestown again. maybe if you mentioned other teams people wouldnt put jtown down so much. but whenever sum1 asks whos good at what your first rspons is always jtown. not jtown and grafton or j town and york always jtown by it self. everyone else on here gives out credit where credit is due. york athletes gave a helluva lot of credit to tabb and grafton and even sum 2 us. when you come on here sayin jamestowns the best at everything we eventually get tired of it and have to put you in your place. if jamestown was the best at every aspect of the game wouldnt they be 10-0 and blowin teams out by 50+ points. yeaaaaa but 4 sum reason they arent. if you want to be respected on here then you have to dish sum out yourself. when they ask about rb's dont just tell us how jtown is gonna be good at rushing this year also mention people like dyrell and legister. or when we talk recievers mention people like yeo. when we talk def dont just tell us how u have all but dbs coming back but talk about how tabb could very well be number one in the district.

if you continue to try and make jtown look like hot**** we gonna have to point out that they just bird****. (yea theres a lil mascot comeback for your hawg head comment)

[Jamestown]

I'm not going to put myself in a position in which I talk about other teams because I cringe everytime I see you guys try to talk like you know what is up with us. Last time I checked, our weight room didn't have 2 way mirrors, our coach's speeches weren't available for download on iTunes, and you definitely don't have next year's game film on DVD. So, instead of you guys judging other teams, judge your own and tell us what you got comin up next year instead of TRYING, key word try, to tell me about my own team.
Someone asked what teams are going to have good O-lines next year, I used my eagle eyes and decided to tell you guys about our linemen that I think will do pretty well next year. I don't know anything about Smithfield's linemen, the only name I know is Dustin Hornsby so i'm not going to act like I know everything about everything. I'm not going to say Jamestown is going to be the best team next year in the BRD next year, but I think they are capable of good things and may suprise some people.

And I said ham hog, not 'hawg head'.

[Packer Smithfield]

Jamestown should build their program with young players like Warhill going to do I think if you guys work hard you can win a few ball games but programs are made over time not just one good year of training it takes getting kids that will be there for a while and that all want to be good.

[Jamestown]

yeah, but I do expect us to be better next year than we were last season. Tabb went from 2-8 to 6-4 with all those losses being close, so maybe we can expect a winning record atleast.

[observer]

How could Jamestown not do better this year.

I don't care for the ham hog comment.:boom:

[Jamestown]

Yeah, I think we'll do alot better this year.

[observer]

You almost have to do better.

[Jamestown]

Why do we HAVE to? I know we will though :D

[observer]

Well, something drastic would have to happen if you can't match last year.

[Jamestown]

Drastic as in...?

[yorkathlete9]

like losing almost every game like us...

[Jamestown]

Yeah but you guys lost all your seniors before last season. We got alot of people coming back for this coming up season so I think we will do well.

[yorkathlete9]

haha ya we only lose 2 maybe 3 starters that are of any impact.

[Jamestown]

yeah, all we lost was like wide receivers and DBs but I think we got some good talent to replace them

[yorkathlete9]

WR are gonna be hard to replace you had some good ones.... McCoy was good

[Jamestown]

Indeed, but we had so much emphasis on passing last year. This season, we'll probably have a more balanced attack with alot more running so the loss of wide receivers wont hurt us too bad.

[soreloser189]

Indeed, but we had so much emphasis on passing last year. This season, we'll probably have a more balanced attack with alot more running so the loss of wide receivers wont hurt us too bad.

Whoa! is it me or is Jamestown starting to say the same thing over and over and over again. Bigger o-line, new coaches, fresh start, talented replacements, more balanced offense and the like.

Sorry Jamestown I am just picking on you.:)

[Jamestown]

whatever :nerd:
