Kevin Austin (2018) mid-season HL

[Coach Macho]

If a kid wants to go to STA who cares? It's their life and their choice. Why does any care unless they are just ****ed STA stacks their team every year.

Or unless they coach at the kid's home school where he transferred from?

I'm guessing the kid is trying to make the best choice for themselves. STA wins and they get a ton of exposure regardless how many catches they may have. I do have to admit that the transfer thing is a just a tad out of control.

I hear you but exposure wasn't a problem. The kid got his Miami offer before he even put an STA uniform on. All of his offers came from his Sophomore film at his home school.

Don't wanna ruin the thread by going back and forth on this issue. Most people already know how I feel so I'll just end it here. LOL

I actually agree with and I have just come to the conclusion that great prospects want to play with other great prospects. That is the only reason why I can think of why a kid would want to go from catching 60 balls to catching 30 if hes lucky. Maybe the practice setting is what convinces them. Harriott is prob telling these boys they will be facing 4/5* talent everyday in practice and that will make them better when they get to college.

A kid like Jordan Merrill should have stayed at Dillard. His name comes to mind off the top of my head as a kid that really didnt gain anything by going to STA unless he just wanted a ring that bad.

Once Grimes and Harley graduate I expect EMoore to be the #1 target along with whomever Harriott can recruit. He will get his targets next year. And finish his career with 2 state rings to boot. Not a horrible deal if you ask me.

Well the kids get manipulated by the adults who hang around these "camps" and ****. It's not always the kid's decision.

Moore said that his reason for leaving WHS was that he wouldn't have the type of production/offense that they had last year because they won't have a QB. (which ironically seems to be STA's problem lol) He didn't think the kid coming up from JV would be any good. Turns out he's very good. If he's not throwing for 300+ then he's running for 150. (dual threat)

If his reason for leaving was the desire to win States then I wouldn't blame him, but that's not the real reason most kids go there. They're front runners. WHS actually had the opportunity to build something big if he (and Kevin Austin) stay. They would've had him and Austin at WR, Harrison Story at QB (D1 level), they have an OL that averages 260 (one of them is D1 level I think), they have the county's leading rusher, a mean little slot WR, and two D1 Defensive Ends. That's the most talent that their program has ever had by far. And they have one of the better OC's in South FLA.

The concept of BUILDING something is long gone. Every program is microwave style. Kids leave and they recruit new kids from local programs to replace them rather than build from underclassmen.

I dont know what yall see he seems average... like plan c way better talent out there playing against better competition

Definitely anything but average. He's a big a$$ kid who can move.

Lol we were just talking about him today. I wish he would transfer to STA.

Any combination of the 4 out of Austin, Copeland, Elijah, Finnie, Pope, Wiggins & Xavier would be ideal.

I don't expect Thompson from Armwood to come here from what I've heard.

Neither Watkins from Vanguard especially after what I was told Saturday, when I talked to my guy who gives me the details on that area.

Transfer to STA for what? So he can catch 10 balls?

How 'bout he go back to his home school instead, play 8A football and catch 50+ balls?

Yeah the whole "I wish he would transfer to STA" **** is whack. Stop trying to steer kids to that school.

He started out at Western High in Broward as a freshman as a WR and DE but then went to the North Broward prep. His family are big Bama fans so good luck.

I'd be surprised if Bama offers him.

 

[CarolCityHigh]

You might be right with the material they can get.

best wr is at my aLMA MATER...Dominick Watt.

North Broward Prep plays nobody..but Austin has looked good. Really need to see how he would look against the better schools in broward

I love Watt as a safety. His old coach, Coach Hood agreed/agrees with me. Love his upside at safety.

Flanagan was trying really hard to pry him away from McArthur.

Agree---As a sophomore he has 7 picks and several of them went for 6.....I went and watched home games of him last year.

His teammate this year Estmane Lucdor a WR/KR looked good last year but even better this year. Kid is 5-9/165 but a 2019 so room to grow.
