Did any of those guys wind up going to college for football if they were seniors? If they are still playing, what offers do they have?OH- nobody
Taylor- Kearns, both Hilverts
West High- nobody
Taft- Rudolph, Brown
Hughes- Cruse
I disagree. It points to development. Elder seems to have fairly regular success at Freshman & JV levels against GCL schools from what I recall, and then struggle when those classes become varsity players.I even prefaced that post by saying it didn’t mean much.

I’m pretty sure the Current Elder srs beat X as Frosh, then lost to them on JV.I disagree. It points to development. Elder seems to have fairly regular success at Freshman & JV levels against GCL schools from what I recall, and then struggle when those classes become varsity players.
It’s probably best not to talk about it too much, bc there’s not a lot of good things to say.7 straight pages of no one talking about the game
So what do you want us to say? You want us to continue to rip on the OL? Keep talking about how bad the kick cvg team is? No, bc then you’d be mad about picking on the players or criticizing coaches who are basically volunteers.Seven pages of the same blowhards who just love to hear themselves talk.

I keep saying bc every week, it’s proven more and more correct. I don’t think enough fans truly understand the old days are over. Half the feeder schools don’t even have their own team anymore. And unless you want Elder to fade off the map, they need to expand their talent pool.It’s not what you say it’s how many times you, Trey and cincifbfan regurgitate the same crap. It’s tiresome!
Ok, so you’re a genius ? still tiresome.I keep saying bc every week, it’s proven more and more correct. I don’t think enough fans truly understand the old days are over.

I’m not and I don’t claim to have all the answers. I’m only giving my opinion based on what I’ve been able to piece together from watching these games the last 20+ years.Ok, so you’re a genius ? still tiresome.

It’s been the same conversation going on 4+ years that I know of- probably longer. I think that’s a sign of insanity. They hijack every conversation. Can someone just start a thread titled “must recruit non-feeders” and they can just argue there? They’ve completely ruined this entire site….7 straight pages of no one talking about the game
Yes- but giving that same opinion over and over again, every thread, every other comment is what is so incredibly bizarre. We got ya the first 5000 times you said it. Here’s an idea- you want a non-feeder kid to go to Elder? Donate $60,000 ($12,000/year plus the added little extras you pay) and make it happen. Done.I’m not and I don’t claim to have all the answers. I’m only giving my opinion based on what I’ve been able to piece together from watching these games the last 20+ years.

Tried (see above)-- no takers.I thought Elder played a tough, gutty game for a half tonight; Coach Ramsay showed his usual imaginative offensive play-calling excellence-- changing up both the play selection and the tempo of Elder's offense to throw X's first team defense off-balance (after X had a dominant start to the 1st half)-- and suddenly, mid-way through the 2nd quarter, it was 14-14, and Elder was looking spry.
Then, two things happened:
1) Kemper came out and hit that home run on the kickoff return; and...
2) Specht made his usual defensive adjustments at half-time-- and X suddenly found a way to shut down Elder's offense in the second half.
Kemper's return of the 2nd half kickoff was electrifying-- but. as much as that energized X (and probably demoralized Elder), I think the defensive adjustments that X made at half-time were probably more important to explaining the ultimate result of this game. After the half, X was getting to Hambleton more quickly again, giving him almost no time to throw-- and those "quick hitter" passes to the sideline were not really being executed any more...
Flowers had been so effective on those plays in the first half-- but X pretty much neutralized him as a threat in the second half; i don't think it was unrelated to the fact that Flowers almost got his head separated from his body, on a particularly vicious gang-tackle, on Elder's opening kickoff return of the second half-- and did not look OK for at least 3-4 plays after that (despite which, Elder/Ramsay left him out there hobbling around, looking dazed-- Elder even had him run the ball on the first play after that tackle, and again, he got up not looking "right").
It’s not what you say it’s how many times you, Trey and cincifbfan regurgitate the same crap.
This crap is exactly why I call him out whenever I feel like it. It’s very tiresome! Years and years of bs from these clowns. It gets old quick and they literally ruin every Elder Football thread but could give 3 ???about Elder as a School and the other sports. Pboy will never put his money where his mouth is, Trey a habitual liar, cincifbfan thinks because he is or was a Coach that his opinion is always right. Some of what cincifbfan says is probably true, Pboy&Trey just spew a bunch of lying bs most of the time.
They got there butt kicked, nothing else to say other than a response to Pboy&Trey BS!7 straight pages of no one talking about the game

Stop acting like what we’re saying is coming out of left field. It’s a million percent obvious that Elder continues to try to hold onto legacy practices and refuses to adapt to a constantly changing competitive landscape.Yes- but giving that same opinion over and over again, every thread, every other comment is what is so incredibly bizarre.

That sounds like an everybody else problem. Just block me.I did that already. I started a thread called "Elder Enrollment Strategy", but all it takes is one post by Trey in a different thread and it ends up dominating the conversation.
OL should add 25+ pounds per year, DL 20+, LB/TE 15+, others 10+ . Of course height can impact some. Nutrition is critical. It's harder but not impossible for multi-sport players, especially wrestlers. If this is not happening then it will be hard to compete with premier programs at varsity level. Is it happening?
