Has that been officially announced?
-I think Mulvaney could be the front runner at RB with Uran getting some carries here and there.
I hope they use less of a blocking TE next year.
East Central (IN)
Not Lawrenceberg, they play East Central,
The Secondary was a legitimate strength for the Freshman. Curry & Gray have a ton of potential. The 3rd CB/Nickel Blevins was also really good but he’s apparently an even better bball player.
Slot WR.
I mean you have 5 spots opening in the secondary next year (Sandhas, Roden, DiTullio, Shavers, Selle are all seniors). Not to mention the two ILB spots with Arnold and Guidugli graduating. While I agree Elder will most likely use some of the Jr/Sr spots next year, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect one of those spots being filled by a Soph, whether it's Curry, Gray or Blevins.
The spots by George and Maddox have already been filled by the two kids that played for them almost the entire season. The defense will be senior laden along with Pete and the cornerback positions in question that are being discussed. Turner will be healthy and get his opportunity and Lammers is coming back to play.
Lammers coming back would be a nice add.
Not Re at WR?
No idea. If he didn’t play WR at all this yr, why would he next yr?
I feel very confident Curry will be one of the starting CBs next yr.
There’s your answer, more non feeder talent. Same thing I’ve been saying for over a decade. Put Corey Kiner on the ‘19 team, they’re State champs. David Montgomery & Teagray Scales (who wrestled for Elder Youth team) on the ‘15 team might not have gotten them over the hump vs Colerain, but it would’ve been closer. Spencer Ware on the ‘08 & ‘09 team, they win state. One or two star athletes, that can play multiple positions, makes an enormous difference.
Out of 12 games played elder had the lead in the 4 q. 11 of them. They played most of the year without their 3 of their best players.. one of which is consider one of the best players at his position in the country (Arnold). Most team that happens to .. season is done. Keep in mind we beat west if we don’t fumble a snap on our 10.. who supposedly had a great def. The next 3 yrs at elder football is going to be exciting! Online will be better.. good qb.. fast.. and well coached.
Losing Arnold was massive. Going into next year, Elder still has big ? At WR & RB. They need a legit big play threat on Offense. They have a lot of good possession WRs and a group of RBs that should complement each other, but they don't have that one big time athlete that can bust open a long TD.
There's a lot of $ resource wise, but that is not an easy job. It's one of the smaller D1 schools and you often have to contend with X and Moeller poaching your better middle school players. It's pretty incredible he got them to an R4 final in 2016, which they should've won.
I think what’s is most frustrating about reading these comments on here is the lack of understanding.. questioning.. discounting the type of kid that goes to elder. For instance.. Joey D. He didn’t play last yr and was not going to play this yr. He lead gcl in int’s and i think had most pic 6’s in gcl history.
