That wouldn’t surprise me. And is something the other players most likely wouldn’t know about just yet.
Aspiring QBs looking to link with a certified champion and massive offensive lines plus returning upper echelon skill position players
Hmmmm
Hmmmm
He waited patiently for a couple of years and the next 2 years should be his time to shine. Nothing is guaranteed because the philosophy is to compete and playing time is earned. That's how it should be. I'm curious if he is related to the Crump of the mid 90's, Kenny.My contact on the team tells me Shiren Crump.
Based on there recent success the last few years I'm sure they will be fine, especially with all that talent. My concern is the defense. They gave up way too many big plays that will need some much needed attention this off season.
Crump...Pacers last name of the Manors...Know Kenny --solid linebacker and unsung core player of Alberghini teams...players like Crump and many others who were not D1 recruits allowed the Clyde Sanders and other press headliners to shine
I feel like the third school in that memorable 3-way coin flip was Del Campo, with Matt Barnes. Anyone?
Yes sir. They were the only team that beat NU that season, on a last second play. Which was a play the ended up knocking the Miners out of postseason play at 9-1.
Woodland Wolves were 96 SJS Champs Grant 1st round playoff opponent...the puritan leadership of Woodland Unified School District were fearful of going to play in the Heights due to gunplay incident weeks ago at Grant
Grant though the top seed went to Woodland without attaining playoff home game revenue and snack bar proceeds
On a rainy night The Champs took the Wolves to the WOODland SHED on there own ...it was total Pacer devastation
A memorable game feature showed Pacer All American RB Onterrio Smith carrying a minimum of 6 Woodland Wolves an extra 10 yards or more singularly

Clyde was a couple of years before Kenny, but totally agree he was a good linebacker. And that players like Clyde, Ontario, and Dante benefited from previous players who put Grant on the map. I also agree that there were a lot of players that should have played D1 ball, lots. Grant was easily the most competitive environment I ever played in. It's too bad so many of them got involved in neighborhood politics, instead of chasing the dream.
Just as I had suspected.... Ala Chad Elliott. Blake Nycum from Folsom going to be a pacer. He was #2 behind Ryder last year as a soph. Very good player but on the smaller side which won't matter much at the hs level. Knows the Folsom offense well can can throw it. The issue at Folsom is their JV QB (Brody Rudnecki) is better than Nycum and Rudnecki is #2. (Btw he's an EDH kid) . Imagine if all these EDH kids stayed and played at OR?
Why are some kids from El Dorado Hills not going to Oak Ridge? They have an incredible program with a rich tradition and some very notable alumni, including Austin Collie, Seyi Ajirotutu, and Ian Book. Is the allure of Folsom really that strong? Is the ice that much colder? I mean, who wouldn’t want to toss the ball to playmakers like Edwards, Womack, and the rest of the talent at Oak Ridge? It’s hard to imagine a better place to develop as an athlete and be part of a storied legacy.
Come on LL....you know I tipped you...
That is a very good question. I think it comes down to exposure and the marketing machine Folsom is. There kids tend to get over recruited and on general OR is the opposite. Taylor reminds me of a very good old school HS coach who doesn't do a ton for his players in terms of next level. I say that knowing very well that is the case. Edwards is a 1x in 50 year unicorn. You can't teach 6"7 255 with speed. He could have gone to Mira Loma and gotten bama offer.
I'm with you! The marketing and exposure make a huge difference! I just find it weird that kids would rather sit on the bench at Folsom than play at Oak Ridge where they can continue their development and still receive scholarship consideration. Especially since you'll probably face Folsom twice in the season. You won't get recruited if you're not on the field! (At least most won't) Lol
I agree that you can't teach a player to be 6'7 255 with mobility. But QB's, lineman, rb, and others can still develop at a reputable program such as Oak Ridge. They've went to the section finals the last few seasons and it appears that several players who were sitting at the sidelines at Folsom could have been key contributors at Oak Ridge. I guess the kids don't see it that way. I understand going to Folsom and playing but not sitting on the sidelines.
The shift is here...folks recognize the magic and consistency of DPH gridiron
....In my best Run DMC
They wannabe down with THE KING!
My point was completely confirmed yesterday with Folsom Soph QB Brody Rudnicki getting Colorada State offer. He played JV last year and will be Ryders backup next year and the starter the year after. He's from EDH and he's getting offers without taking a snap at Varsity level. I would hate to sit myself but if you are getting the exposure and offers who really cares.
This is also why Nycum transferred to Grant. He would have been Folsom #3. That is how loaded Folsom is.
Perhaps

This will be settled between the lines
Nycum won't be eligible for the Folsom game. You guys better have a good incumbent.
LL...this is not about Nycum fam'....we are locked and loaded with a QB or may I say QBS...
To be unveiled at the right time

Indeed! I agree with your point. I'm just wondering if he would he get that same kind of offer starting at Oak Ridge?
I couldn't see myself standing on the sideline when I know I'm a sure shot FBS talent. I'd have the mentality that I'm better than the next guy. And I'm going to show it on the field. Even if it's at another school!
But these are different times, I understand.
So loaded that they loss to a 6 loss Serra team at HOME.
Nothing stokes the internal.competitiveness of the G than doubt...literally Pacers don't rest on laurels. Never pity the G-High Pacers
We are the long lived Champ model on SJS now NorCal and CIF right here right now
Where we're from if you're soft you're lost
City school...true SACTOWN certified
Recognize when real "G" I mean game is in your grill
If the word is out that you can go to Folsom, be 3rd (which means you don't play) and still get offers, everyone else is cooked. Except Grant and a few others that have their own niche and are geographically just far enough away.
I can totally understand transfering if you're a starter at another SFL school, slide right over and take the bulk of the carries like Jackson did. The morality of it aside, it's a business decision.
But for the first time (at least in this area) we are seeing kids who literally won't play for a full season being encouraged to transfer and watch. If you can get away with that, you not only build depth but you weaken your opponent. Crazy times indeed.
Athletes should have freedom of movement...4 years in High School is a blip on the radar...many coaches have gutted player opportunities via benching...why waste it based on a district boundary
Imagine being only allowed job/employment opportunities in your zip code

I'm loving the direction!
Still waiting on the defense to feature lockdown corners, hard-hitting safeties that bring the ambulance, and a relentless front seven. Lol...
Not sure if those days will ever come back, but it would be nice to see them
Agreed fam...as a Pacer Parent was fond of telling me and father of a Grant Pacer pass rushing 6ft -6in defensive end from the late 90s teams of physicality >>>
