re: "Bates is average"

no im not but it sounded like you were advising him, my sincerest apoligies max

Nothing wrong with football in covington.

One of the best QB prospects in La. history went to Covington High Steve Smith in like 88 or so. Went on to Stanford was Wac-10 freshman of the year starting over Steve Stentsrom who was later a heisman candidate and nfl QB. If not for a broken back and Tommy John surgery would have likely had a very successful carrer.

crab cakes and football

thats what mandeville/covington does!!!!!!!

Exactly. Not to mention this kid might be talked about himself one day. I've heard he isn't to bad himself. I took what he told me for what it was. A kid who happens to be a pretty good football player that plays on his team, is his friend, that has already played against some pretty good talent himself, who got excited when Houston was offered, who was hoping he could match it himself one day, and was willing to talk to me about it, and gave me permission to write todays longest run on sentence

I couldn't care less what Lache's assesment of Bates is. Why would you care if Lache said Bates is only average?

for some reason I thought this guy was not talent as he was said to be

He is slow

That's simply not true. He ran a 4.80 on a slow track at the Scout Combine where Trovon Reed ran a 4.59.

Also, Chris Faulk would disagree that he's average.

I bet if Bates finds out which kid ran his mouth he whips his arse to the kid thinks he's an All-American.

I trust Miles but most of the Tennessee people said Chavis was not much of recruiter, correct?
