    NBCSC: Early Signing Day period comes with a cost

    The early signing period solved the much bigger problem of a new coach coming in Jan timeframe and blowing up the recruiting class leaving kids scrambling with a week or two left before Feb NSD - look at it this way whoever replaces Carey can’t cut these kids loose because the have already...

    Montini vs sterling

    It seemed like some of Sterling's better players were either nursing injuries or got injured during the game, luck was not on their side Saturday. On a side note this is the best high school football stadium and atmosphere in Illinois - felt like a nice D3 college stadium with a better...

    Class 5A Semis

    You certainly can't interpret too much from common opponents once removed, but I can't get my head around Sterling being a step change better than a team that beat them by 4 TDs and ran for almost 400 yds against them. That said it's all about match ups and I think the consensus is this game is...

    Class 5A Semis

    Depends on what Montini team shows up - the team that destroyed Providence or the team in the second half of the Loyola game will be a tough out. The team that played the first half of the Sycamore game will send Sterling to Champaign

    Montini/EP

    I am not saying anything - I am just making an observation - the make up of this class makes it difficult for public schools to compete, that's all. Look at the list of champions since 2000. Not endorsing any system just saying 5A is strange class. Really making a case that this class is not...

    Montini/EP

    This is likely a bit of a mismatch but it says more about the weirdness of 5A than anything, a mix of oddly sized suburban schools (Glenbard South, Hillcrest), weaker CPS schools (without Phillips), good but not consistently great western IL and downstate programs like Highland / Sterling, and...

    Montini - Sycamore

    Loyola is better than any of the teams we are talking about here in this thread including Montini (they easily dispensed with a good Minooka team and will likely beat an undefeated Oswego team at home Saturday), Brother Rice is at a different level this year, one close game all year (with...

    Montini - Woodstock North

    Just as Montini could get bounced next week by a solid Sycamore team, Sterling doesn't have a automatic bid to the semis either. Next week should be a running clock but the winner of Boylan / St Francis will be a game that Sterling could lose on a bad day. Boylan is 9-1 with 10 point loss to a...

    Montini - Woodstock North

    Sterling may indeed be the favorite in a semifinal match up but not sure you can use the transitive property with the Marengo score as any indicator. Montini beat Loyola which I am pretty sure would be a handful for Sterling

    Inadvertent whistle

    This is a great question - if you couldn't hear the announcer you had no idea why SR had a 5 down series

    THE Chicago Catholic League Thread - 2016 - Week X

    I agree Marmion is better than people think and DeKalb is probably a bit worse than their record

    Montini vs DLS

    DLS had a tough night turnover wise and Montini played much better on both sides of the ball - Marmion becomes a must win game for DLS as they will need 6 to get in

    Zunkel At It Again

    I would even say it's just about 5A - the rest of the classes the numbers don't support the theory of private domination

    Recruiting Questions

    I think the exception to this is The Ivy's - you actually get a letter from the coach stating they will sponsor your admission to the university- it's not a financial offer and they only "sponsor" about 20 kids a year but not all sponsored kids make it past the university president
