Thought Arlington or Stanwood HS would have cracked that list for sure.

As a head coach who wants to see my athletes get exposure, recruiting, recognition etc, it’s becoming increasingly frustrating that if they don’t play for this select team or that trainer or go to some showcase that costs $150 that goes into someone’s pocket that they passed up..CuntWaffle said:Thought Arlington or Stanwood HS would have cracked that list for sure.

Or perhaps they just aren't that good...No offense but with the ease of the digital age and the internet and dedicated recruiting sites, etc. it seems as though getting the word out shouldn't be that difficult. Shoot, just 20 years ago you would have to send VHS to coaches if you wanted to get a look from afar. Bubble wrap and all...Bread said:

Long Beach Poly is in Georgia?

Without checking, pretty much every recruit that comes out of Grant in Sacramento seems to find the NFL.

I'm sure what Doogles was trying to say, is that pretty much out of every 24 recruits that come out of Grant in Sacramento, 6 seem to find the NFL.AIRWOLF said:

1 outta 4 ain't bad! -
Eric Norgard and Ryan Appleby are the only two athletes that have ever come from those two towns. Ever. T.J. Oshie went to Stanwood his freshman year then moved to Minnesota so he doesn't count. We who live on the Stilly generally like to grow our athletes 5'9"-6'1" and white. I think its in the water (the height not the white). Arlington has won two state titles and placed second in football during my lifetime. I'm 40. The players from those teams did have feathered hair, peach fuzz mustaches and tear away jerseys if that gives an indication of when the Eagles were competitive. Their team photos still hang in the hardware store downtown. Stanwood I think made the T-Dome in the late 90's.CuntWaffle said:Thought Arlington or Stanwood HS would have cracked that list for sure.
Yeah, I know, North Snohomish County superiority guy.
