FB: Conference of New England

[footballguy32]

anyone know anything about how recruiting is going for the league. I know there was some talent around new england. Who got the studs?

i would say, salve regina will play the spoiler, at best.
plymouth and curry too strong   

CB23

I don't know about that.  While yes Curry or Plymouth will undoubtedly be viewed as the favorites, I think a case can be made for Salve.  They return 19 starters.  They also return 7 all bogan division performers, which is more then anyone else.  They've got a quaterback who is arguably the top returning starter in the division (not saying he definitely is), a running back who ran for almost 1,000 yards in only 7 starts with his whole offensive line coming back.  They led the nation in pass defense last year and 3/4 of their secondary returns (granted their run defense sucked so no one really had to pass on them). 

I would certainly have my doubts, but I also wouldn't dismiss it so easily.  If, and this is a major if, they can stop the run with any sort of consistency, they will be a player in the division race.

also, that comment you pasted about "Plymouth and Curry too strong" comes from CB23 who is quite the fan of Plymouth State... Salve could make a run at things this year especially with their side of the division losing a lot of talent... we will see though

hey boxer7806!!
hmmmmmmm?!     2008  plymouth 34       salve 7     

also with jeff mack limited play time (flu) we had a sophmore running back step in and ran for 177 yards on 16 carries...

Notice how I said "if they can stop the run".   I realize this is no easy task.   This was easily salve's biggest weakness last year and the last few years.  I was merely pointing out that there can be other teams in contention besides Plymouth and Curry.  There's no doubting Plymouth kicked salve's ass last year but things may change, you never know.

[CB23]

hey nefcfootballfan!!
the score was 14-7 at half, i willgive you that. i am not knocking salve. if you notice what i said "salve will be the spoiler". not a cellar dweller.
good luck this season.

Has anyone heard about the recruiting classes, I heard Curry has a Transfer QB 1AA? Any other teams get transfers or big time high school studs?

God wasn't invested with Madoff, so he took the lead back in the fall.
