Next man up. Will be curious to see how it affects his recruiting.

Do you mean because of how it looks to transfer late or the move to what is to a presumably far better team?

Does his recruiting change geographically now that he is playing in another state and for a different team? No D1 school cares that he transferred.

There is probably a kid or two in or out this summer at almost every school in the state

I think it seems like bad parenting to move your kids to a new state for senior year all else being equal (there may be mitigating circumstances), but it happens

I believe he is only a junior?

The school he is going to is a local powerhouse that usually sends 2-3 guys to P5 schools every year. Still has to suck to happen so late.

Summer, sure, particularly in June.

August? Seems a little late to have a change of plans. Yes jobs can change suddenly
 




Any early reviews of Strib Varsity? I really used the hubs quite a bit for schedules, box scores and stats.
 

MN Football Hub changed sites to a star tribune one and $50 for a subscription I am seeing it right. Just looking for some scores. Looked like some good content though.

Sounded like Moorhead may have a couple of borderline D1 recruits but going on 247 didn’t see any soon to be seniors as best prospects. Maybe underclassmen.

Had a nice article about how Moorhead is going to be competitive which I agree with
 



Moorhead QB is son of former great NDSU QB. (However pretty sure those teams almost never threw the ball and ran option every play)
 




Has a good first game and picks up another offer. Zero mention of being a MN commit on Twitter until you scroll down to him retweeting MN commits in June though.

Have not gone that deep
But that was always subject to programs submitting those numbers

They announced yesterday they are reinstating the historic stats/results. Hopefully current stuff is still free.

The Moorhead kids are mostly juniors. It’s the class with the QB, who is the coach’s kid.
 

They named the top MN athletes since 2000 which was cool.

I feel like I can actually find the Hub link on the site now, so just that is a great improvement.


Shaver puts out his preseason All-State team with Ryan Burns. Loving Shaver's retirement gig.

Thanks for sharing
 


-I think MG is going to take a slight step back (still top 5, just not #1).
-I think Tonka 1/Shakopee 2.
-I think we need to pump the brakes on Moorhead - 4 game stretch playing against Tonka-Wayzata-Maple Grove-Eden Prairie. Crazy skill but those are 4 Big Boy football programs & I wouldn't be surprised if all 4 of them just shove it straight down their throat. Maybe Moorhead is ready for it though...we'll find out.
-I think EP will be better than what they're thought of. Not state title type, but I think they'll beat a few that people say they're not supposed to & will be around come November.

If Moorhead finishes 4-4 and is the 5 seed they could very well go to state as they’ll avoid those 4 in the first and second round

EP offense could be great
Defense is the question

I would never downplay EP as a whole, but I haven’t seen anything to make me think their offense could be great? Maybe I’m overlooking something there?

The narrative about how tough the West division will be isn’t just a good story, it might have at least 5 of the top 10 teams in it.

I think EP is supposed to have a pretty good OL and that plays well.
But as you said EP could be the 12th best team in the state and go 4-4 or 3-5

Tonka didn’t show well when they scrimmaged MG this past weekend. Granted everything was very vanilla, MG scored pretty easily and Minnetonka had trouble moving the ball against the 1st team MG D.

I think MG will still be pretty dominant this year.

I think there is enough parity where matchups and health will matter come playoff time.
MG is one of about 7-8 teams who I think could win it if healthy

Based on scrimmages last Saturday, Stillwater may be in the mix. I do not see there being 7 or 8 in the mix. Maybe 4-5. EP won’t be one of those IMO.
 

I think it’s pretty wide open. However, I think Tonka is a clear #1 at this point.
