Does anyone have information on Pine-Richland DB/receiver Anthony Battaglia ?? I recently saw his HUDL highlights as well as watching him against Saint Joe Prep in the state final and I was really impressed with his performances. I understand he has grown to over 6 feet and is weighing about 195. He has run the 40 in 4,55. I think this kid is currently under the radar and if so ,needs some attention by D-1 schools.

National polls not worth a whole lot, but still interesting to see Prep and LaSalle play a couple of these teams again this season....Miami Central vs DeMatha game on ESPN Labor day weekend should be fun to watch to see FL players match up with MD.

How sad that the Big 33 wasn't even televised this year!? Disappointing.

After seeing the highlights presented by Pa. preps I watched the tape of the state championship game this past year and have concluded Swift could become one of the greatest running backs to come from Philadelphia . I know there have been many great ones , but considering this guy is only going into his junior year and has 20 D-1 offers already you have to wonder how great he will become.

Tomorrow. 12 teams. Anyone going?

Rivals.com takes a look at the top tight ends from the 5-Star challenge in Baltimore. Imhotep's Naseir Upshur is among the players on the list. Click here for the article.

Parkland two-way lineman Noel Brouse announced his commitment to Syracuse earlier today via his twitter account. I was able to talk to him a little bit about his decision. I'll get more a more in-depth story in the next couple of weeks. Click here for the article.

Cedar Cliff's Mike Viti (S/WR, 2016) gave a verbal commitment to Maryland yesterday after their prospect camp. He was an under-the-radar kid. He has great footwork and quickness for a defensive back. Check out the reasons for his decision here.

Charlotte Amalie High School (Virgin Islands) is looking for a high school team that would be interested in traveling to the Virgin Islands and play in tackle football game on Friday November 20th, 2015. We cordially invite a team that would be interested in taking part in the inaugural Arthur Jamison Turkey Bowl event. Send an email to Mr. Corbett at myroncorbett_12@outlook.com for further information. PASSPORT IS NOT NECESSARY TO TRAVEL TO THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS.

Very impressive, he's off the the finals in Beaverton, OR. I'm sure he would rather be preparing for the state baseball final, but CRN lost in the quarters to Parkland. Good luck to NP on Friday.

As I predicted in the fall, All State running back Jake McCarthy of Scranton was selected in the 23rd round of the MLB Draft by the Pittsburgh Pirates. He will almost definitely go to Virginia with the hopes of being taken higher in 3 years, but a nice accomplishment for a great athlete.

McCarthy's older brother Joe, also a former Scranton running back (who was on the very good teams with Karlon Quiller) was taken in the 5th round by the Rays.

Other PA football guys taken were former Trinity all WPIAL defensive back Joe Havrilak by the Tigers in round 18 and former Easton quarterback and Nazareth graduate Justin Pacchioli in the 10th round by the Padres.

The highest taken Pennsylvania player was Stroudsburg's Mike Nikorak, who went 27th overall to the Rockies. Nikorak was Stroudsburg's quarterback, but did not play football this past fall due to the massive payday he was in line for in the draft (the slot amount for his pick is over $2 million - probably the right call).

Sussex Central (Virginia) of the Tri-Rivers district is looking for a regular season game to preferably host to kick off the 2015 season. The Tigers are entering a rebuilding year and are open to any opponent private or public. Sussex is located an hour and 15 minutes west of Virginia Beach and 45 minutes south of Richmond within easy access to I-95 and US 460. To schedule please call Coach Turner at (804) 605-1224 or Coach Jefferson at the school at (434) 246-6051 or respond to the post. Thank you for your consideration.

Any reviews on this camp so far coming easy next wk. Thinking we may attend.

Great camp yesterday at Lafayette but not a lot of philly guys,I'm guessing since Lafayette is not a division 1 school players don't want any parts of it.there were a lot of college representatives there watching players.jim harbaugh was the guest speaker and Kyle flood was also there
Was fun to watch and a chance to meet a lot of players from all over

The D'Andre Swift post has me thinking about what Infante had to endure at the start of his first year at the Prep. If memory serves me right, they had a team in place that could have played with anyone in the state but lost several players to transfer after Brooks was let go including his entire starting backfield. I am trying to remember who all left and what coach was left to work with. I know that Peoples was one of those players.

I'm sure this post was out a number of times when he first took over.

6-4 240 and only a freshman with a cannon , wtf are they feeding these kids today? I saw a qb from LaSalle last week the same size but a senior .

I recently had a chance to talk with Parkland's senior QB Devonte Cross about his current recruitment status.

*Cross currently holds a ton of FCS offers from Albany, Monmouth, Rhode Island, Robert Morris, Villanova, and Delaware.

*Holds one FBS offer from Army.

*Headed to Northwestern on Friday.

*Headed to Virginia Tech on Sunday.

*Consensus among coaches that he hears from is that he has good running ability, good footwork, and a quick release.

I'll give an update on how his trip goes this weekend sometime early next week.

I took this job with only a few weeks before the start of the high school season last year and didn't really know which direction to go with the website. In the proceess, I believe I neglected members who have paying subscriptions to this site by not making a lot of things exclusive.

I've had a chance to get my feet wet, gauge the board, and moving forward, if there's certain things that some of you would like to see on the website or message board itself, please let me know.

When I first started, I did take a few things too personally and was argumentative sometimes, but I'm more comfortable now and It's not that serious. It's just , football talk.

I want to thank you all for continuing to support this website and I will probabaly focus moreso on players than teams. However, by doing that, learning more about teams will be a by-product.

You'll probably see a lot of more things posted in this forum in regards to PA recruits, or PSU, Temple, and Pitt targets.

Thanks again!

Ed
