Not good. The low quality of football played by the city schools has long been a topic of conversation. But that's not an indictment on Jeff. Hageman was also a Washburn kid, and he's turned out ok.As an out-stater, what's the level of competition Washburn faces?
I couldn't tell you for sure but my hometown, Waseca, beat them this past season and we went 4-5 in AAA, so the team overall isn't very good.
WOW! Fantastic news. Jeff Jones was a player that the Gophers REALLY needed to land. With our improving OL and great prospects on the line, Jones should have big spaces to run through. Great news.
Competition is horrible in the City. Washburn 16-1 against MPLS. schools the last three years. 0-3 against St. Paul Central in the City Championship game. They are 4-6 against non-conference teams. They are at best a good AAA teams. They can play with those teams. Has to be hard to evaluate a kid against City competition. If you noticed, he had some nice plays on film again Holy Family which is a respectable program in AAAA.

That article states that this is his first 4 star recruit. KSTP must be forgetting Isaac Hayes, Jonah Pirsig, Andre McDonald, and Jamel Harbison.
None of those were rivals 4 stars. That's probably all they looked at.That article states that this is his first 4 star recruit. KSTP must be forgetting Isaac Hayes, Jonah Pirsig, Andre McDonald, and Jamel Harbison.
I am also an outstater, out in West Central MN, 9-Man country. Haha.
I'm also unfamiliar with the different levels of competition within the Twin Cities. How much better are the suburban teams over the city teams like Washburn, etc.?
Minneapolis South lost to EP 42-0 and Wayzata 62-6.I would say it is boarder line unsafe for City teams to play any 6A or 5A teams.
Yeah I agree, FWIW Waseca is a small town (about 8,000 people) in SC Minnesota smack dab in between Mankato and Owatonna and we are not historically very good at football. None of this is anything against Jones, I think he is a tremendous talent, I was just giving my 2 cents on the question asked.
