FB: Presidents' Athletic Conference

[ADL70]

Yesterday CWRU began reporting its incoming players on its twitter account one every hour or so in alphabetical order. 18 players posted so far and only as far as the Ks.

^Really interesting to see the lack of Ohio recruits.  Always neat to see CA, FL, MD, NJ, WA, IL, etc.

A ton of PA talent.  Looks like the majority of new freshmen this year are coming from PA.

Wow!

What a great trip for our kids!!!  Some extra playing experience as well!

Always great to read these types of stories when kids opt into the program - sounds like we're getting a solid running back who produces chunks of yards and TDs.


Napa Valley Prep Football: Justin-Siena's Parlett opts for North Coast over West Coast, signing with Case Western Reserve of Cleveland

Some of the quotes made me laugh, including:

Ryan Parlett said he was amazed how cheap it was to dine in the Cleveland area – always a plus for a college student's budget. Caden might want to order in, though, once winter hits.

"I'll need a new wardrobe, for sure. I only have California clothes."


Also he had some notable all star game work:

He was also selected to play in two All-Star football games — an O-D (Offense-Defense) All-American Bowl Game on Dec. 29 at Inglewood's SoFi Stadium, where the Los Angeles Rams won the Super Bowl six weeks later, and the Tri-County All-Star Game at Santa Rosa Junior College on Jan. 8.

Parlett was named Offensive Most Valuable Player of the O-D All-American Bowl, which invited players from across the country to play in two games at the Southern California showcase. He finished with eight carries for 124 yards and a touchdown and two catches for 10 yards on offense, and gave up no catches at the free safety position on defense, leading his team to a 38-0 rout.

Good to see that he's studying at CWRU's Weatherhead, my own undergrad alma mater!

Great stats, but he's a bit undersized.  It wouldn't shock me to see Coach Debs move him back to receiver.

Hey Bob Gregg

You are usually on top of all things PAC. Do you know what the plans are for football scheduling now that with the return of Allegheny there are 11 football playing schools? I ask because CWRU's posted 2023 and 2024 schedules seem to have 10 conference games. https://athletics.case.edu/sports/fball/future

Anyone, get a chance to watch the BIG 33 game between MD and PA H.S. All-Stars? The MD squad feature players committed to both Salisbury and Mount Union, any word of the PA young men?

We've heard from a couple of coaches that it will be a closed schedule/no non-conference games. Not sure how good an idea that is but hopefully they get up to 12 or down to 10 programs shortly.

[ADL70]

Thanks Pat

One way for PAC to get to 10 would be for CWRU to return to NCAC as a football affiliate. Carnegie Mellon could continue as its non-conference game as was the case with the Monon Bell game before DePauw joined the NCAC.

6 QBs on the posted roster.

Another All-Ohio FY "QB Aaron Filips will play football for Case Western Reserve University where he will study engineering/business. He was named 1st Team All-Suburban League (2x), Suburban League Offensive POY, 1st Team All-District and 2nd Team All-State."

[E.115]

What a situation Coach Debs finds himself in at the QB position...An absolute rockstar running-throwing QB with the incoming freshman in Filips with 4 years eligibility...a DI transfer Kipp with 4 years eligilbilty...and, oh by the way, an incumbent 3-year starter with 9,000+ career passing yards in Saxton.

Filips high school highlights are impressive...man that kid can run https://www.hudl.com/video/3/11220990/6192e3a4ff01f00d8842f420

Also, Kipp had five DI offers out of high school (Bowling Green, Akron, UMass, Fordham, Toledo)... but chose to walk on to Kent State:  https://www.statechampsnetwork.com/state-champs-scout-team-ohio-football-recruiting-notebook-mentor-qb-ian-kipp-chooses-kent-state-ol-hunter-colao-chooses-ashland/

I suspect his Mentor high school teammates helped recruit him over.
