Tre'Shaun Harrison, 2018 RB/S, Seattle (Garfield), WA (Offered)

Tre'Shauns tape looks solid. He's not gettin away.

Let his name be a constant reminder to never forget B.E.E.F.

Balance, Elbow, Eyes, Follow through.

2012? Kreist.
Dude. You're missing the point. Metro football sucks because nobody turns out for it and the schools are becoming more and more nerdy and SJW oriented where a "violent" sport like Football is frowned upon and maligned in an increasingly soft city - especially in the faggier than shit Mike O'Brien/Rob Johnson areas of the North End. Roady thinks coaching is predominantly to blame, but it's irrelevant when only 30 to 35 kids are turning out. If any Metro public wants to build a competitive football program, they'll have a lot of gray-haired, protester-hippy parents to overcome and a cultural sea-change will have to occur with the exception of perhaps RB - where they still love sports - maybe West Seattle, and maybe Garfield. Cleveland STEM is now Nerd Central and Franklin is not far behind. (Sorry DNC). Long term, Hale will rule over Roosevelt because of how the neighborhoods are changing - and fast. No yards in Roosevelt for a Dad and a kid to throw the ball in, anymore, and Dad will be too old, too feeble, can't throw a spiral, and is married to an SJW like that one thrown off the plane in Baltimore or wherever. 2012 is ancient history, dude.

This is fucking stupid, the demographics of the students that go to Roosevelt and Hale are essentially the same. The reason Seattle Metro football sucks has everything to do with lack of successful youth programs. As someone said earlier the Lake City Braves provides football players for about 5-6 high schools while a school like Bothell or Bellevue gets a giant pipeline with their youth programs because all of the kids in those youth programs go to those schools. If the Seattle metro schools had feeder programs like the suburb schools they would be just as good.

Can we all be in agreement that this team needs a few "Tre'shauns"

Enough fucking Isaiahs, Myleses, Jordans, Elijahs and Jacobs.

I was really hoping we would get a visit from Markeviest Bryant just so we could talk about someone with a decent name for a change.

Thank god for Salvon.

Feeder programs are crucial. I don't think Turd is entirely wrong about football dying in Seattle. Foosball has always been more of a country folk, suburb game and I think is becoming more and more true, especially in Seattle.

Well, no they aren't. Ask any *honest* parent from either school and they'll tell you you're dreaming. But that's not the point. This debate originated with the discussion about Metro's lackluster rate of competition against a kid like Tre'Shaun and why Metro can't muster decent teams besides the Catholic schools.

On your closing point, with the demographic shifts, population increase, minority families being uprooted from Rainer Valley from gentrification, youth leagues will be harder and harder to operate. And the other point I made is how many of those kids get recruited away from Garfield and Franklin to EC or O'D. Garfield has some decent talent, like this kid, but still got plungered by Lynnwood - the weakest team in the Edmonds district, and sometimes the only win on either Shoreline schools' schedule. Football at Metro's pubs are down, and many of those Pee-Wee families are setting up shop in Renton and Kent, as they have been for awhile already. And which no doubt pleases DDY, Kent's TBSr in residence.

So, I wouldn't disagree with your final point, but as I said to Roady, I don't see it happening in these times.
