CB- Sneak Johnson S-Shawm Crowley S-Mike Gipson CB-(have to think about this one)

I can't disagree with Laurendine. He was much more talented than Doug but Doug was a winner and SO SMOOTH.  Dickens and Brinkman are good choices. Love and Cox are good choices too. This task is impossible. I would add Gipson as an "Athlete" like they do on All State teams.

I'm sure Doug was great, but I saw Tommy play as a kid and he was awesome. Not only as a QB, but you could insert him in as a great Safety too at that for OR. I think he still has the longest INT return in our history. I agree with the Gipson @ athlete. May have been the best "athlete" from OR to ever step foot on Blankenship. Like you said it's just so difficult to choose, because you know you are gonna leave off an all time great here or there.

It's fun to do this but it's tough. Too many good ones and I'm not comfortable with the guys I'm leaving off.

I like to do it because the linemen (who don't always get notoriety) get it in things like this. Wish I had more knowledge of our past great linemen on both sides of the ball, but unfortunately as always nobody remembers the road graders who do all the work so the other ones can get the notoriety.

    • A lot of people don’t realize how valuable JMO was. QB, safety, punter and holder on pat’s. Kid did it all. I fully believe if he was healthy Dburg would have made it to the ship last year. 
    • If Dyersburg quarterback who is also starting safety hadn’t got hurt it would of another blowout 
    • For perspective the county school I’m associated and graduated from only has 7,600 people in the entire county with a median age of roughly 47. That’s not very many 14-18 year olds to choose from. I think the football team had 25-28 kids or around there.  On the other hand Shelby County has 916,000+ with a median age of 36. This isn’t just about Shelby county, but all the big ones with huge economic advantages!  An urban/rural split would benefit tons of smaller schools that have to compete with counties with 120x the amount of people. Especially the ones who can pick and choose their players from a pool like that!   I also agree with Pujo about charter and magnets and they will eventually be phased into the private divisions because it is obviously an advantage plus all the funding! Add that county schools can’t go recruit outside of their county like charters and magnets! 
    • They should be starting next week and go from there.  They never do Spring Practice in April
