Gotta ask... He big on LSU? Has he been a Tiger fan his whole life? I know the article states he is but you being his dad, I know you have more insight.

This is about the best thing that can be said about a lineman at his age. I hope he doesn't think he needs to put on a bunch of weight. Colleges would rather him come in at 6'5"ish and a little lean so they can put it on him in the right way.

Could someone link the team highlights? I can find them

lsusteve1: He is a LSU fan. But, LSU is NOT a done deal. Whatever school presents him with the best opportunity and is the best fit for him, that's where he will choose to attend. No school is out of the question at this point.

I personally got to watch Brumfield, he has some work to do in the offseason. The only problem I see is he's playing 2A football. I would love to see him on the 4A/5A level. Especially against top rated d-linemen.

4A/5A Bluechip. He has gone against Top-rated D-Lineman and has done extremely well. And let me share a little knowledge with you: 1A through 5A, the class only indicates the enrollment size of the school, NOT the talent level of the athletes in that program. I've seen some players at the 5A level that actually suck when pitted against true athletes in the various camps I've taken him to. But I've seen some players come from small schools that are excellent at what they do! Only armchair fans make the assumption that assigned class equals talent level. That is a myth that has been perpetuated for years without validity. College coaches look for talent...Period! John Curtis and Evangel Christian blows the class equals talent theory out of the water! Besides, some of the schools with a smaller enrollment focus on academics, which why Garrett is at U-High. Not raising a dumb jock over here! A great football program at U-High is just an extra bonus. He would be a good athlete anywhere he played...it's in the genes!!!

Stating that there are more top rated d-linement in 4A/5A is not myth or an assumption. It's fact.
quote:So you are saying, on average, there will be the same amount of talent in a smaller student base as the larger ones?

If I asked you to choose a school that you would make a team out of year in and year out, would you choose the school that gradudates 100/year or 500/year?

Jakes up to 215 lbs now and younger brother is 235 so he will hopefully be lining up next to Garrett at some time in next couple of years.

Afro. Let me sum it up by saying this: I would bet my last dollar that the U-High Cubs at the 2A level could play with, if not beat, any 4A or 5A football program in the Baton Rouge area! Remember, I spoke of talent, you're blinded by numbers!

Possibly so.

They do have some promising talent.
quote:I was countering your comment stating that it was a myth that the larger schools don't have more talent across the board. On average, it's no myth, they do. That's all the poster was stating, that he would like to see him face more 4A and 5A players because on average those schools are more talented across the board at all positions. It is a numbers game in high school.
you're blinded by numbers
Of course you have talent at the smaller schools, but it is nice to see them matched up against more talented players week in and week out and in 4A/5A they generally have that.
Wish the best for you and your son, but let's be honest in the conversation. We wouldn't have a need for divisions if the numbers game didn't have validity.

For anyone saying they would love to see how Garrett would do against "top level" talent, all you have to do is go watch practice and see him work against Tim Williams, you know, the 2a player that everybody in America wants. This 4a/5a bullshite cracks me up.
And Bucky its not what its how much. Hope they keep growing but I think they are bout done.

Just ask Mr. Mahaffey if he'd like to move to 5A indefinitely
See if he thinks it's no big deal. Posted on 3/20/12 at 2:58 pm to LSUAfro

why would he want to go coach somewhere that he had less talent to work with?

Obviously referring to moving U-high to 5A. Not moving schools.
Seriously, why do you think there was a need for divisions based on enrollment? Shits n giggles?
Of course there is a disparity in talent levels/depth from 1A to 5A. Will there be teams/years where a 1A or 2A team has more talent than a 5A team? Of course. On average and across the board. Of course not.

in the Baton Rouge area the disparity is nowhere close to what it was 10-15 years ago.
The comment of "I'd like to see how he stacks up against 5a competition" Has been said about any recruit from lower classification schools and it has no substance. People said the same thing about Chad Jones, Todd Kinchen, Big Baby, Steven Ridley, and tons of others.
Tell me what DE in this area would be tougher competition for Garrett to prove himself against than the one he practices against every day.

Afro, I've personally seen and spoken with some of the 3 through 5 star recruits from the larger schools in the southeast region. I have witnessed some of these kids get destroyed by some kids no one has every heard of! And when you speak with them, their lack of command of the English language hurts your ears! Most are not articulate in the least. So, it's pointless to attend the larger schools, be a beast at your chosen sport, get 25 D1 offers, but end up at a JUCO or community college because you can't qualify academically! Sorry, I'd choose U-High any day for my son over some of the 4a/5a schools!
