    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    Thanks, I guess I’ll be there and see things for myself, but unless East’s QB made some big strides over the offseason, I’m not optimistic about this one for the Griffins. The kid has good size and a strong arm, but he played JV all last year aside from the last regular season game when Williams...

    Massey Preseason Top 25 Illinois

    Do you know if it's at East or BR? I haven't seen the schedules published yet. Rice is going to be very tough, and East lost a lot this past year, and the QB spot is taking a big step down. Their soph (now Jr) QB is solid, but I bet they're going back to being a run-first team, and that doesn't...

Add to that that Frankfort property...

    Is MC Primed to Win It All Again?

    Minimum one loss to BR, probably 2-3 more after that. If you watched them last year, they had a very strong team, but once Williams went out with the ankle, they dropped two games they should have won, and never recovered. Even with Williams back, MC embarrassed them - and that was a very, very...

    Is MC Primed to Win It All Again?

    They may be fine, but there is no QB waiting in the wings that can compete at a BR or MC level, perhaps even others in their conference. Maybe a transfer is coming, but based on who has graduated, LWE is going to take a big step down this year. No way can they compete with MC or BR - or Loyola...
