Central football coach Sid Edwards said of Johns. "We were worried that not being rated so high could hurt him but LSU's got a winner in likes of Jacob Hester, Craig Steltz and Matt Flynn

You can't blame him for wanting to talk up a player of his. You never know though.

Hes talking about the common pigment all the players Sid mentioned happen to share.

So we're getting a white kid that doesn't have all the physical tools of some athletes, but plays with heart and desire, has character, and is a winner?

Cool...

Ya..I agree with Elleshoe. Why compare him to Flynn (a QB) and Hester (a RB) ? There is only one common thing between them....

Hester was a 2-star (maybe that's why he put him in there) ...but Flynn was a highly rated QB coming out of Texas.

Comparing him to Jack Hunt would at least be a closer comparison...especially if you just HAVE to have the same race..

I'll take it. Unless we can get someone better, regardless of race.

Sid Edwards is a douche. He's one of the most over-rated high school coaches. And now he just made himself sound like an idiot.

I love it when college geeks pretend to know what they are talking about--priceless!

Cat, are you just a bitter old man who's parents were too poor to send you to college?

Anybody could win at a "next step is jail" school like Redemptorist. Now I will admit that he's doing a good job at Central. People still do suck his cock way too much like Brent Musburger and USC, though.

Now that you mention it, my dad had a heart attack my senior year in high school, and I had to pay my own way.

My mom got a job as a part time teacher and gave me $15.00 a week to eat and party on my freshman year.

Thank goodness for construction jobs during the summer and dope deals during the semester!

So Redemptorist is still the same "powerhouse" as they were under Edwards?

Since your statement says anyone could win at Repdemptorist, I assume the are.

You want him to compare the kid to Glenn Dorsey and/or J Russell?

Redemptorist became a bigger powerhouse once Edwards left and Guy Mistretta took over. How many state titles has Mistretta won in less time? Two I think, and he's always got them deep into the playoffs.

And Bad Cat nobody cares.

Apparently not. Redemptorist's last district title was in 1982 and they had no state titles before Edwards showed up. He built that program.

Now, I have no problems if you want to accuse him of recruiting and bringing in some less than desirable kids.

No. Why would you compare a safety to a QB or a RB? Other than because of their skin color. That's the only reason Johns is like Flynn.

Why wouldn't he compare Josh Johns to another LSU safety like Jack Hunt or Jessie Daniels?
