Either Way,…don’t you recognize the Opportunity the Student/Athletes has: “IN Front Of Them”Tommy Tofi has a chance to be one of the best offensive lineman to ever come from the sf Bay Area. He is huge. A monster. And extremely athletic for his build.
Kinda reminds me of Michael Oher in terms of athleticism, size and build.
Now question is will he go the way of a David Baktiari and have a HOF NFL career….OR will be go the way of a Matt Summers-Gavin, who was a highly rated OL recruit, who unfortunately never reached potential due to knee injuries.
Or will he be like Sonoma States Larry Allen…..
Only time will tell….
Does Serra have a 6’7” 265 lb. basketball playing senior with no offers? They do not.There’s a deeper story to be unpacked here. For all the crap Riordan caught for kids flocking to play there their coaching staff just put out a kid who had no business getting out. That’s no slight at the kid, at 6’7 with little football experience I bet the sky is the limit for him. But schools like Serra have linemen with way more film and way more years in their weight lifting program who will graduate with no offers. Says a lot about the work the Riordan staff puts in.

They do have a 6’5” 220 TE. He’s going to Tennessee.
He's listed at 6’3”. Small for a tackle. 6’7” is big for a tackle.…that has been playing football. Where is Rivieccio going? 🤔 Walsh had 4 years with him.
He's listed at 6’3”. Small for a tackle. 6’7” is big for a tackle.
A D1 (FBS or FCS) assistant coach who is out recruiting high schools can’t come back to his HC and tell him he wants to offer a 6’3” 225 tackle. They are told to stay within height and weight guidelines.
6’7” 265 and plays hoops? We’re in business. I think there are a lot of basketball players out there who are short for basketball but would be recruits for football. 6’3” wings who could be safeties, for example.
Lolo was at Serra his freshman and sophomore year…Does Serra have a 6’7” 265 lb. basketball playing senior with no offers? They do not.

@dcpanda,I know nothing about either of these young men other than their height and weight. I do know a bit about what college recruiters look for, and the player from Riordan has it.
Serra played for The CIF State Title. The other 2 played in state bowl games.3 of Riordan’s 4 losses came to teams that played for the CIF State title. The 4th was to St. Francis who lost its best LB in the post season .
I stand corrected. Folsom’s amazing last drive tipped St. Bonaventure - one of Riordan’s losses they should have won if not for a special teams lapse.Serra played for The CIF State Title. The other 2 played in state bowl games.
Under Ravipati, 2022: 3-7 w/1 league win; 2023: 7-3, w/4 league wins and playoffs. 2024? Definitely a lot to clean up but trending in the right direction.All of the excuses aside, Riordan's defense and special teams were less than terrific all season long. A lot to clean up.
Can you make the argument (aside from the fact Riordan lost two starting LB to injury) that as potent as they were offensively, they shouldve have been as potent defensively? You dont put up those points and yards with nobodys. So what Im getting at is those players on the offensive side of the ball, are above average and if you have them play defense as well, they shouldnt be giving up 45 points.3 of Riordan’s 4 losses came to teams that played for the CIF State title. The 4th was to St. Francis who lost its best LB in the post season . The Crusaders lost both of its starting LBs for the season early in league, thus its struggles in containing the run. Riordan was in every game but the Serra game. Youth also had a lot to do with its shortcoming and should be cleaned up in the offseason
“And what should SHC do on either Side of the Ball? Leave the WCAL again”?Can you make the argument (aside from the fact Riordan lost two starting LB to injury) that as potent as they were offensively, they shouldve have been as potent defensively?

Jsquare, R-gayl, flav-r-aid, NoCityFan left out a few Riordan seasons.

The idiot's MO is not wins and losses. Just boasts about how many Riordan guys make it college programs. Yet no surprise punches down on an Irish team with no wins (all of the sudden wins and losses means something to him). #sheeridiocracyGuess Jsquare, R-gael, NoCityFan left out a few Riordan seasons...

How many WCAL football titles do the Irish have? The SHC men athletics program has only 10 WCAL titles - total. Sacred Prep has 16 and they only play 2 sports.
11 WCAL Men's titles (They left out the second title in a row vs. Bellarmine. When did Riordan do that?) but who's counting? Prep can win all the water polo and swimming titles they want. What do you care?Yet it was the SHC program throwing Riordan under the bus to prospective kids/families. Confirmed by the parents themselves. How many WCAL football titles do the Irish have? The SHC men athletics program has only 10 WCAL titles - total. Sacred Prep has 16 and they only play 2 sports.
Bellarmine football has fallen to its lowest depth in decades. None of its three teams displayed a whole lot of promise in 2023. It was shocking to watch. It's almost as though the school's administration has begun treating football as an afterthought. It's strange. The Bells were once the gold standard in the old CAL and later the WCAL. That has changed. Very odd.Serra remains #1 until someone in the WCAL beats them. SF, Riordan and possibly VC and SI could change that. A competitive Bellarmine program is always great for the league. We shall see.
You know what I got for Xmas was SHC fans actually doing Homework over Xmas holiday to prove me wrong.The idiot's MO is not wins and losses. Just boasts about how many Riordan guys make it college programs. Yet no surprise punches down on an Irish team with no wins (all of the sudden wins and losses means something to him). #sheeridiocracy
After this Year’s showing SHC ain’t throw nobody/nowhere,…11 WCAL titles but who's counting? Prep can win all the water polo and swimming titles they want.
As for "throwing Riordan under the bus", that's just their comeuppance.

@colhenrylives no apologies. it will always be Phelan Ave. to me. lol.All aspects considered and cutting out the extreme ruminations of a few bloviating fans, Riordan should be one of the clear favorites to capture the 2024 WCAL varsity football crown. St. Francis should be right up there too. Serra will have something to say as well but the San Mateans will lose a lot of talent from the 2023 unit. All of that said, it will be up to the Riordan coaching staff to tutor its teens to give them a real shot at a title. Pre-season blather spewing forth from the internet will become meaningless once November rolls around. In fact, it's pointless already. But keep a weather eye on any fresh infusions of tranfer talent on Phelan Avenue (sorry). It is fully expected that bright, new bodies will arrive to buttress the Riordan roster.
