NOLA Nifty 50 2016

The whole point is how could anyone with those accolades not be in the state top 50 regardless of his name.


It's not as uncommon as you would think. That being said, I know nothing about the kid, but I remember a few years ago LA's Mr. Football was Blake Matherne from Belle Chasse who ended up going to Nicholls and never even played a down for them. Some guys are great HS kids, doesn't mean they always project at the next level.

You know what's more common? The number of kids without the accolades as Lindsey Scott, who rankings and websites have hyped up, and who turn out to never bust a grape in college. Look at the top 100 on most sites from 2009-13. Statistically this Shite is usually wrong.

Question is valid. How in the heck is a junior QB, an state MVP in Louisiana 5A (arguably our most competitive class), not a top 50 player. SAD thing is that people that don't really follow high school FB, read this stuff, and believe it.

Kid doesn't play 1A ball. Went head to with Brandon Harris in 2013 as a sophomore. Scored 4 TDs and almost pulled it out. It laughable that there are 50 better football players in the state than him.

Lastly, prior to his arrival ar Zachary, the team was not considered a "contender". Qtr finals in 2013 (a school 1st), semi-finals in 2014 (a school 1st), losing by acadiana 9-3. Sad.
