PurplePanther Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Stirring the pot! DCA repeats for the Gold Ball LA repeats as well....in CPA's head now Ryan beats MBA & PJP (finally) BA wins the West McCallie finishes 2nd or 3rd in the East...no Gold Ball West (D2AAA) won't have anyone in the championship game again...they are the SEC East of the division Pot stirred! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theawesomebro Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 DCA seems like they got it going. I think until CPA abandons the "homegrown" theme (still unclear on the beef with recruiting legally), they will have some tough sledding. it's also hard to win with kids playing 2 ways against teams that don't do that. I pick LA as well. would be interesting to see mccallie get pushed off the top of the heap! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun fact: in the past 2 years, McCallie's only lost was to Ryan (last year) and beat Ryan by a TD twice this year. Baylor is looking for a new coach. With the resources they have, they should be in the mix....but then again, so should both Webb schools. Recruiting and boarding schools are a mix for success in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navy21412 Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 The CPA people can speak for themselves on that "homegrown" subject, but as a parent who went through the private school application process for 2 kids, I can report that for my youngest a couple of years ago (looking to enter 7th) the school was full and accepting only siblings. Could be wrong also but CPA doesn't seem to lose a lot of kids along the way. I can't remember kids leaving CPA for MBA, BA, or Ensworth. So the "homegrown" thing may be more a function of the school being full with limited options for adding new kids. You could say that ought to inspire them to raise money and build more buildings to hold more students, and maybe they will. That said Ingle's comments about financial aid are just out to lunch and honestly just offensive. I will never pick against McCallie ever. They remind me of Maryville during the Quarles years. They have almost no D1 prospects on the team (one defensive back going to Duke?). They don't wow you at all getting off the bus, but they are just dominant. I can't explain it. MBA faced (at least by recruiting rankings) much better QB-WR combos than the McCallie duo--I don't think either of those guys is playing at the next level at all. And they just torched our really good defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just rubs me the wrong way when they tout “homegrown” as something to be proud of and because of that they are morally superior to the other privates….. don’t hear that from the folks on this board, just social media in general.

They do have one kid that will make your jaw drop when you see him....6'4 and 400lbs. That is his listed weight so I'm guessing he is more. Doesn't move too bad for a guy that big!
