$T.x said:^retarded, a certain religion teacher explained that Specht has been offered to coach at many D-1 colleges. Subsequently, he has declined. Why would he want to leave anyways, he is forming the foundation for a dynasty.
...enlighten me to why he would switch to safety when there is an open spot at corner next year and ian cummins has the safety spot pretty much locked up...?....and ned is athletic, but not the most athletic ...by far the most athletic kid in the class of 09 is trevor skoveSt X class of 09 said:Ned could maybe compete for the starting safety spot next year, IMO he's one of, if not the most athletic kid in our grade
St X class of 09 said:i forgot about the open spot at corner. who do you think the 10 most athletic kids in our grade our?

Think that the open corner spot will be filled by a senior....Rumpke will be moving back to defense and he already played one game there this year. Sure there are other seniors in the mix, but I'm sure everyone will get their chance to earn it. Alot changes from year to year especially in the off season when the coaches from the JV and varsity get a chance to sit down and really look at all the talent and the options. Kids positions can easily be changed especially if they are very athletic. Good Luck and congrats on a great season!St X class of 09 said:i forgot about the open spot at corner. who do you think the 10 most athletic kids in our grade our?

T.E. could be replaced by Luke Kuechly provided he puts on some weight L.B. will be replaced by Pete Lees...O.L. is a toss up...and xavier men i didn't see a corner on you list...but...that could be replaced by ned moffat, danny freudiger, or brandon Jacobs...(or maybe there is a junior at corner..idk)
Guess he was too short this year against Indy Cath that's why he started? He's been short since he has been a frosh and somehow he has managed to play cb w/o a problem. We've had cbs on the shorter side (T.Hurley, brad brookbank for example) with taller ones on the other side. Speed and ability to cover is way more important than height alone. Pretty sure he will be the corner back...he played a few games for the varsity last year as a soph and suprisingly despite being "too short" he had a pick.eastsidebomber said:i don't know rumpke is an athlete, but hes just to short to play corner when you have to guard a 6'6'' reciever, the other corners may only be a few inches taller than him, but every inch counts...we all know that
Well, I was under the impression that Saelinger moved from safety to cb because Rumpke moved to offense before the season started. I think he was told that they would work him in at cb once it was decided that Morris had the starting qb spot. Saelinger played safety during the game when Rumpke played cb. Then Rumpke was moved back to offense again after Morris got hurt in the St.Ed's game and Saelinger went back to cb. Didn't think those moves had anything to do with height issues. Plus I think Rumpke is taller than 5'6 and you know "every inch" counts. I'm just going by what I heard about the situation but perhaps you have some inside info I don't. Why would he have dressed varsity as a soph at db if the coaches thought he was too short. Just asking...I'm just on the outside looking in.eastsidebomber said:actually yeah he is too short-thats the whole reason why they moved saelinger from safety to corner-so they could have some height there...any good team that scouts X and sees a 5'6'' corner is gonna put thier 6'6'' reciever on his side every time and i dont see that being a pretty matchup for billie
