He's been banned from our thread in past years. That's pretty tough to do on a message board. He really has hatred for many schools. Mentor is just one of them.
Wow feelings kinda hurt…. Yep kinda hurt….. snap I’m already over it….
Calling it like it is. You need to get a life.
Okay I’ll try really hard, I mean I’ll really really try. Like next year I’ll come to a Mentor game and root real hard for them and applaud the state championship culture that’s so prominent in that building.
Just proving my point. The trolling points change depending on the school . The fact that you feel the need to do so on a message board towards at least a handful of schools says it all.
So kind of like your basketball team??? Players from all over the area? Right??
Yawn. You choose to focus on a blip of 3 years with a handful of guys coming to Mentor. Nevermind all the other years where that didn't happen
Any updates on how the starting lineup is looking for this year ? How is the QB battle looking ?
Mentor always has solid to outstanding QB play. They have years where have a talented player that is young and developing. In those years they lean on a balanced attack with a good running game and quick passing game. I expect that to be the same this year as they break in a young starter but have an outstanding OL. Also Coach Gray is a very good play caller so that helps.

Good for Colin! Three guys on the offensive line this year with DI college in their future blocking for a returning All-Ohio RB. Going into the season, the run game is clearly the strength of the team. Prichard is an important part of that.
It's a 2 game agreement
I just recall at one time Mentor was looking for a Week 1 home and home. I didn’t realize Falls was home and home. I thought maybe it was just a one time thing.
I talk to our AD once and awhile but am not in the loop on decisions or anything.

I agree the run game is the strength with regards to one of the best olines in the state and J Farley. What concerns me is the depth behind Farley as I've heard that Dom Burns may not be playing this year. So who is the back up? Cant afford to wear down Farley. But I also know we can't put alot of pressure on Brogan to carry a heavy load at qb with one proven wr. So where do we find the balance? Hodge in wildcat? Young RB that is currently an unknown??
No idea here. I go by what the parents or those connected say every preseason. Can't really form my opinions until I see a few games as I don't follow junior high or JV levels.
Im pretty plugged in. I have a kid who graduates this year. I'll post non controversial info as it comes up. As a group the staff and team are high on what could be this year. June camp is next week so some things should start to become clearer at the end of next week.
My top three favorites are Mentor, Strongsville, and Cleveland Heights
I agree with this list. Cleveland Heights may be a sleeper. The got Jamarcus Greenwood (transfer from glenville) this spring. He's an upgrade over anything they had the last 2 years. The new coaching staff brings a ton of next level +1 experience. They will look vastly different. What that amounts to is yet to be seen.
Additionally, I think spots 4 and 5 will be for Lorain and Euclid, respectively. Lorain won't be an instant contender, but they won't be a pushover either. Euclid is on the upswing, and they have a rising Division I prospect in Kei'Shjuan Telfair.
While I think Mentor will win the GCC, I don’t think it’s too crazy to say they could find themselves in a hairy situation and may have a close call against one of these two. Last year Strongsville beat up on the GCC outside of Mentor and Brunswick, they should have a lot of momentum and a great foundation to try and win 7+ games.
I briefly reviewed the All-Ohio and All-district returning players for the GCC and it appears promising for the league as a whole.
