Charlie High

[devilsden]

I think Tenn Tech is recruiting him. At least that is what I heard from people in the stands at the championship games a couple of weeks ago. He looks to be a good athlete, but he looks short. What about the reciever #16 that set all the national records? Who is recruiting him?

Ha. No wadded panties here. But if your own "faithful" don't have your back who will? Golden boy is correct, as in 2 Gold Balls that we most likely wouldn't have without him. But I do understand that CH just doesn't meet the profile for many recruiters and it is an obstacle that he may/may not overcome. It doesn't bother me at all for people to have a differing opinion. Some of the posts have included some sarcasm as well, which has been pointed out.

Well said. He is a heck of a football player!!

You can say what you want to say about his size, his arm strength, his body frame, the system, playing in 3A in Tennessee, whatever. He's the best high school quarterback I've seen come through this part of the state since I started caring about high school football.

I clearly understand what they are saying. I wish the CAK faithful would not get their panties in a wad when someone with a differing opinion of your golden boy states it.

 

I prefer to call him Clark Kent vs Golden Boy.....at least by day.

[BRPro]

He is being sarcastic lol

 

I can't believe you had to explain that.

The kid can flat out play the game as everyone can see no matter what level of football he is playing at...everyone had to get a start somewhere. The fact is no one knows how good he can be or what he can accomplish if no one is brave enough to give him a chance. He could be another Johnny Football....just ask Mack Brown if he wished he had a time machine...

[POLKcoPRIDE]

He does not HAVE to go to a big school ....where ever he goes if he lights it up he will get drafted....look at Tony Romo

Great post, and an excellent read. Harb was an excellent QB as well and we are fortunate to have him back in the program.

This kid is the best I have ever seen in the pocket. Yes, he has a great line which has a D-1 left tackle, but he makes a lot of plays with his feet. in a shot gun system,SPREAD TEAMS, you are further from the line and can see better. And as well as he throws on the run he can roll out if needed. This guy does the little things you look for in a QB but have heard rumors he isn't getting looks because he is a system QB?

Yes he was. CRB would have his QB's watch video of Harb to show them what he expected from his quarterbacks. I'm sure future QB's will be watching videos of CH. Harb had a cannon of an arm, and he was a lefty like Epperly. Harb just didn't have the team around him that Epperly and High did or he would have gotten more pub too. Love it when past players come back and get involved with the program. The players love having him around.

I got to see him play a couple of games and he was impressive, very calm in the pocket and athletic enough to have just enough escapability to keep plays alive....people should sometimes overlook size and weight and just see if the kid is a winner

Don't over think this guys. I don't claim to be more knowledgeable than any of these big time college recruiters and, with all due respect, I would venture to say that most of my fellow CoachTers aren't either.

If CH was a big time college player he would have a big time offer. And that in no way is a knock on the kid, but the facts are the facts. His incredible high school stat line is just that, a high school stat line.
