I get what you’re saying and where you are going. I’m not trying to be very harsh and/or critical, but the statements “getting kids ready for college.” STVM and Walsh have also had many kids staying at their colleges and doing well. The same goes for many public schools. At the same time, the “studs” everyone talked about and that their arrogant parents bloated about at camps are “duds.” Hightower also comes to mind. I’m pretty sure he isn’t at Michigan State anymore.
I don’t know how Traynum will do this season or if he will be on the field. I expected him to be a Parris Campbell, Jerome Baker, and/or Dante Booker impact player in college. I’m going to bring up Booker because he tore it up vs Penn State in 2017. I’m not sure how Traynum would fit in. He looked iffy on defense for the spring game. Ohio Stare was holding on an arm and leg vs Michigan and was depleted on the depth chart. I’m not trying to be too harsh and/or critical, but when you want to pump yourself and be arrogant on social media and/or at camps, karma has its way in balancing everything.
I’m not drinking the “blue juice” but the current Hoban administration is not going to accept or allow kids to try to run the school like the ones that were in the college transfer portal. I don’t think those type of kids would have been accepted with this administration. Furthermore, they are not going to allow kids to leave early for football. You are at the school for FOUR years, which is great for their academic reputation. Dealmedico had me convinced in the beginning that things would be great, but the mask came off with him and his character in and out of the school. There is promise with Hoban and I am almost
convinced the school (probably by the end of the year I’ll be a believer) can win on and off the field like Xavier, Eds, and Iggy do it with this current administration.
And to be honest, when TK, Lucey, and DiMauro clean up the mess that both former presidents and Dealmedico left, you will see a resumed, healthy, and prosperous Hoban/STVM rivalry.
Copied and pasted from a Hoban football alum site. Doesn't really matter if you start, play or cheer from the sidelines they have accomplished much just to be there. To call them "Duds" shows your lack of understanding what this is all about. Continued education. Majority of it is free but the experience is priceless for all of these young men. Other than St Ed's I challenge you to post a similar roster from schools in NE Ohio or anywhere in the state for that matter.
