re: Prince Tega DE/TE

Well it is an interesting story. He could be an All-American or decide college football is not for him.

I grew up in the AISA. Attended two different AISA schools and played ball in the AISA. My brother played ball in the AISA, won 3 state titles in 3A and didn't play with anyone that got a football scholarship. My cousin played ball in the AISA. I went to an AISA school for free because I was a great football player by their standards, then I moved to a public school in Florida that is far from a football powerhouse and found out that I was indeed not a great football player in the grand scheme of things. There is minimal talent in the league. Howard, Drew Davis, Tega, and the little scat back from Bessemer a few years ago are the only SEC level talents in the last decade. You're grossly exaggerating the talent in the AISA. Yea some kids make a roster as walk ons, but very very few kids from the AISA go on to be contributors at the division 1 level, much less stars.

There isn't a team in the AISA right now, Edgewood included, that would compete in the catholic league. You're talking about a league that sends multiple kids every year to high level programs on a scholarship. Sometimes multiple kids on one team. Please don't pretend like the league is even close to the catholic league. I was an adamant defender of the AISA for the longest time, but then I started playing public school ball. It's a little different when you're playing with and against black kids every Friday, to be blunt.
