FB: North Coast Athletic Conference

[bashbrother]

When reviewing a player on film,  I look at the size, instinct, toughness, patience and overall athletic ability.   The proof is definitely in the pudding and time will tell. 

Even Russ #3 had a decent H.S. highlight film,  we all know how that ended up 

I was chatting with a huge Little Giants supporter the other day that informed me that Zurek had a tough North/South All-Star game,   I then found that in 2001 -  Jay Cutler (Da Bears) went  4 of 11 for 13 yards and 1 int in the same All-Star Game.    Thus,   like anything else... we shall see.

An interesting question was asked on the CCIW Board...... so I will ask it here as well.

Does anyone know of any NCAC grads that made the US Olympic Team this Year?

Party school? They must have been there on a night they uncorked the vintage Zima.

Old Caveman, that's old news.  As in released in August 2011.  Time to clear out the cache....

Looks like Mason Zurek is a great student too, 4.2 GPA that was recruited by the Ivy schools.  Glad we got him.  WAF!

[BashDad]

I wish Zurek's 40 was closer to his GPA, but hopefully his size and those beautiful stop-start moves will balance out the underwhelming speed. Also, I feel like pissing off Vann Hunt will be one of the better consequences of having him around. Hunt can be a real William Wallace when he's jacked up.

The roster has been posted: http://sports.wabash.edu/roster.aspx?path=football

Coupla big 'ol frosh WRs. The physical size of the class is impressive.

[BashBacker#16]

A couple of comments with a quick glance through the roster with an emphasis on newcomers:

- Gotta love a Juco WR transfer who is 6'2 192 who played high school ball at De LaSalle H.S.  A Juco highlight film too on Youtube.  I also love the #7 going to him.
- Remember CP Porter at running back?  What a great story coming back to school.  Great kid, hard worker, and I am anxious to see what he can do with those "jump cuts" - even if he is 23 years old.  Also, I believe these weights will be updated once the guys report.  I know CP wrestled so he will be more like 190 when he comes in to camp.  Played as a frosh under CC.
- Love 6'2 230 TE's from Warren Central
- Love 6'1 290 OL's from Ben Davis
- Love 190 lb D-backs from Ben Davis

[bashbrother]

Why not.   Let's get back there in 2012!

WAF!.. what a game.

- Remember CP Porter at running back?

I remember that C.P. stood for "Can Produce". Glad he's back.

Wabash #10 in the D3 Poll -   May be high.....may be just right,  we will see.   We will have talent that is for sure,  some holes to fill.
(9-3 last year  ) 

Play Ball!

[smedindy]

9-3? Wow. I guess it's preseason for the site as well! 

[Pat Coleman]

Thanks for the heads-up, smedindy. From bashbrother's post, there was no way to tell that he was trying to report an error on our part.
