I should have read further before replying earlier. Still, never heard of him.He transferred after his Freshman year because he wasn't going to get to play QB until at least his junior or senior year.

Buckeye Valley is horrendous. Graham should have a shot.Buckeye Valley hasn't been very good the last couple years, but IMO their schedule is significantly tougher than the Mad River division. Johnstown will probably be a very tough opponent.
I'd be very surprised if Graham doesn't go 1-4 or 0-5 between non-league and crossovers with everybody that they graduated.
For context. His dad is the middle school coach you are thinking of and also teaches at the high school. His brother played on the State runner up team in 2011 and his sister-in-law was the kicker on that team. His mom also teaches in the Shawnee district.Hmmm, never heard of him. I know there were Mayfields at SHS in the past and I think there was a Mayfield that was a middle school coach but from what I saw of SHS JV team a couple of years ago, they probably have their guy for this year...cant remember his name. SHS seems to have a had a decent run with QBs the last 4 years, so whoever is coaching those kids up, I wouldn't expect anything different with the current crop.
Wish him luck at Troy, whoever he is.
Any truth that Shane Carter is not returning to Northwestern?Now that JA has hired a coach ... are there any HS spots left in the CBC?
haven’t heard anything. i’ll do some diggingAny truth that Shane Carter is not returning to Northwestern?
You'd think he'd stay at Shawnee with the success that they've had in the past compared to Troy. But who knows.For context.

Josh played basketball for my dad in middle school and I like him a lot and will be rooting for him this year. With that said I personally feel this was a move done exclusively for athletics.
Also, considering how successful Drew Mitch was as a receiver in 2019 I am not convinced that Josh wouldn't have been the QB in 2020 if he was still at SHS.
Troy's region (WW and LaSalle) is one of the best in the state, that's for sure.Trojans consistantly in D-2 playoffs.
He is out... NW has posted the vacancy due to resignation. Hope they can find someone this late in the game!Any truth that Shane Carter is not returning to Northwestern?
wow. i wonder why? cupboard dry up in German township? did he take another job?He is out... NW has posted the vacancy due to resignation. Hope they can find someone this late in the game!
I thought I heard something about him taking an assistance job at a bigger school, but don't quote me on that. That does suck for the Warriors. He had them going in the right direction.wow. i wonder why? cupboard dry up in German township? did he take another job?
will be extremely tough to hire someone this late
They made the playoffs a few years back...this past year they were badddddd.I thought I heard something about him taking an assistance job at a bigger school, but don't quote me on that. That does suck for the Warriors. He had them going in the right direction.
it was hard to blame him for transferring- just not a good situation for him at Northwestern, and i’m a big fan of loyalty more so than anything. his move max sense and it worked out for himThis isn't MACland where loyalty trumps all. They're lucky that kid stayed for three years when there's a powerhouse D1 program 15 minutes away. It shouldn't have come as much of a surprise that he left for his senior year after lack of proper personnel to sling it around resulted in him getting stuffed in at RB and carrying it 30+ times 2-3 times in 2019. With how bad the team was last year he would have been called on to carry it 25-30 times a game. Running routes and playing with a lot of D1 talent at Springfield was much better preparation for what he'll be trying to do next as compared to getting beat up carrying the load on a team with limited talent.
quite impressive. don’t know much about his resume other than he was at Fairborn.Bandstra ... guy has a LOT of resources. He when the pandemic began, he started an online clinic group and has gotten a lot of big names on there.
absolutely not, in 2019 they lived and died off of Vanoord. can’t expect to win giving the same kid 30 touches. that’s a brutal workload on him.Does Not help when you have a stud RB give up on a team and transfer.
they have in fact had trouble keeping good coaches. props to them for always getting the hire hire, however. i hope this works out for the Warriors.I think this guy was going to be a coordinator at KR this year before getting this job. Seems like he hasn't stayed anywhere too long before moving on. Seems to be a very motivated worker at his craft and job hunter if nothing else, which has been a good model for them over the last 10 years.
Hopefully they get 4-5 good years out of this guy and he rebuilds some positive momentum for the next guy before moving on. Their last few hires they've done a good job of getting in the door the best applicant, and I take it this guy was the best they could get that could fill a job in the building. I'd assume he is coming as a teacher as well as he seems to be certified in business, which is one of their teaching vacancies.
Good luck to Bandstra. They've had been more competitive in recent years and have made a lot of investment, but it's still a tough job. Plenty of quality coaches have wilted on the vine there and found success elsewhere.they have in fact had trouble keeping good coaches. props to them for always getting the hire hire, however. i hope this works out for the Warriors.
In a normal year, I think this kid ends up with at least a handful of MAC and higher-end FCS offers. I'd have to think he's going to Purdue believing that he's either going to find his way on scholarship down the road or switch over to playing baseball.In regards to Van Noord, his transfer to Springfield could result in a free ride at Purdue with a cost savings of 40K per year. In my opinion, he would have received a full or a substantial partial ride at a D1, D1-AA or D2 under normal circumstances. I’d have to believe he’s going heading to Purdue thinking he has a chance at a full scholarship at some point during his career. The same can be said for Cade Rice. He’s heading to one of the premier 1-AA programs (South Dakota State) under scholarship this fall. I seriously doubt Rice in this situation had he not transferred. Covid restrictions changed recruiting for over a calendar year, and Van Noord and Rice made tough decisions to leave their schools under uncertain circumstances.
Van Noord will get his scholarship eventually. heck of a player. Rice is going to SDSU on a full ride. the transferred likely helped both, but more so Van Noord. i think Rice will star at SDSU- he should be at a MAC school.In regards to Van Noord, his transfer to Springfield could result in a free ride at Purdue with a cost savings of 40K per year.

I agree on all points, but think Rice fell into a great situation at SDSU. Unless it was a top 4 MAC program, I think SDSU was a better place for him to land. SDSU offers top notch facilities, a packed stadium and playing for a national championship contender. There’s a big difference in fan support and excitement at SDSU, NDSU and so on than at places like Kent and BG. Lower level MAC schools start the fall with 15K+ fans and dwindle to crowds you’d see at a week 10 high school game between winless teams. I get the television exposure midweek MAC games offers programs, but the crowds are typically terrible. I speak as a MAC season ticket holder. On an aside, I was really surprised Hawks landed at Witt. He’s a D1 talent who probably got hurt by the Covid restrictions too. Must have felt like it was the perfect fit.Van Noord will get his scholarship eventually. heck of a player.
