His older brother played for WM a couple of years back...one of the strongest to ever come through the WM.

Can't complain with getting LB help.

Can he play OLB?

Chris Ivory has just much upside as Ray Rice if he can stay healthy..

But he wont...he hasn't been healthy a full year since high school. We at least ONE reliable back.

With that being said I wouldn't be opposed to Bowers here

Guy offered me Berkman for Ricky Weeks straight up.

Whatcha say?

Talked to a kid that competed for WM.

Johnson definitely used a bench top and squat suit. He would have been dumb not too.

FWIW the kid I talked to believed Chuck Hunter would have beat Johnson in squat and dead lift with the help of a suit. Hunter squatted 500 raw (no suit) as a Junior.

Well hes a 4 star because he is just as talented as any other 4 star dtackle...If his hardwork matched his talent he'd have offers off the charts.

Its really sad to see

As a WM fan I take my hat off to Acadiana and I gladly admit I was DEAD wrong.

Acadiana had the better team. I had said all season long that WM's oline was suspect and Acadiana exploited it like no other team could.

Congrats to Acadiana! I look forward to future matchups with them and their great fans.

From WM:
Turner QB
Cain RB (wont get an LSU offer but is definetly worth watching...a hell of a player)

Hunter DT
Lathen DE (2012 top 100 projected 4* based off his 35 inch vert, 4.5 forty...oh and he's 6'4 240)
McFarland DE 6'2 230 DE makes the most plays on the dline...great technique

Johnathen Tyson 6'2 250 OLB looks like he could step on the field for LSU now....not even kidding
Jacob Tyson OLB 6'1 225 physical freak
Deano Casola 6'0 215 MLB

Ok pretty much the WHOLE wm defense is studs..

Saftey Cade Stone is only a sophmore and starting his SECOND state title game...and he hangs with the best players out there

I would like for old shows to stop calling the damn plays and let Hunt run the spread with Turner.

Its what he does best...even better than the option if you can believe that

I dont see a team holding WM to less than 35 points if WM is in the gun. IF they survive this week, and try the under center option against STM or Acadiana. They have a damn good chance of losing. Those D's are waaaaaaaaaay too good to let that shite beat them. And WM's oline is not good enough to beat a top tier front 7.

One of the best ones yet

Thats one of the coaches I spoke with..A former WM offensive lineman himself.

quote:

So let me get this straight...the RO coaches are deliberately not using Talton, in the process diminishing their chances of winning a championship and thereby hurting all of their players, all because they want to prove, for whatever reason, that they don't need to play a kid that used to play for West Monroe?

---

Im not saying that at all. But I do know a couple of the coaches personally and when we talked about Talton before the season they were both gave off the vibe that he wouldn't be the reason this team wins state. Thats just dumb. He got to RO and was immedietly the best athlete there. Hell even Vincent Moore admitted to it on KNOE. Yet the first few games they continued to let Moore get the ball every play giving Talton the ball 5 times in which he scored on 3 of them.

He made the best players in 5A ball look silly.

There is NO excuse for him to not touch the ball EVERY play. There is no arguing this. He is the best athlete River Oaks has ever had. Its pathetic that their ego's are holding this kid back.

Are you trying to be overly against WM to appear objective? Just asking as WM has destroyed every team they've played with Turner playing. They're a completely different team with him in the game.

---

Im not trying to be anti WM in this thread..although I see how you could think that.

I honestly just dont think this WM team is good enough to pull out a victory in a clutch situation. Turner is GREAT dont get me wrong but he is the ONLY hope the offense has. Cain and Ellis have played pretty good this season ,but it all goes back to that offensive line. Their just not that good. Turner has been sacked more in the first half of the season than he was ALL of last year. And WM is yet to play a team that is a legitimate state title contender. (Ouachita was good but noone would ever pick them to compete for state)

And the one legit passing team they played was up 20 pts on them. People keep talking about this defense being so great but their missing the depth they had last year. Last years dline was the guys starting now AND the three other guys. I wont be suprised if WM takes state because none of us know what Paul Turner is gonna do next ,but my pick is STM.

quote:

---

STM will win 5A.

---

My pick as well.

Their best attribute is WM's biggest enemy. The passing game. WM can score alot but that offensive line is just not up to par with what they have had. Turner can only do so much.
