Chris gamble played one year of ball.(b ball guy at Dillard the best ball program in broward) Was likely the best wr in broward and lined up sparingly at CB.
Bryant McFadden was my highs school teammate and friend..was recruited hard by um..Butch came by school. He went on his official to fsu and cookie Thomas showed him around and Peter Warwick had a bday party at the club and it was a wrap.
Elvis Dumervil did well at um camp. I know because I was there and in his group lol. Um was looking more so at Taurean Charles, there also was a kid from jax last name Anderson, and John Wood (American High)..but Dumervil had like a million sacks on Dade that year and did what he wanted at that camp.
I think Dumervil was a Butch miss no? I just know he was a monster at Jackson. Kind of reminds me of some of the kids we are passing on this year. Shakur Smith, and the other sack king in Dade..his name escapes me. But guys that just get to the QB.
Gamble was an athlete X10..Went to Nova middle IIRC and whooped those inner city kids in bball. They said he just played JS bball for the ring. Dillard had a dynasty during that time.
Dumervil was class of 2002, so he was miss by larry coker. Dillard in football went to states during Gamble's senior year and lost to Palm Bay hs.
Here's the thing about kids like Shakur Smith and Dumervil...when Butch was HC, when did we ever recruit undersized DEs?
C. Green, J. Green, A. Wiliams, J. Mcdougal were all at least 6'2. Alton Wright and John Square were tall. ****, we went to Texas for a lot of Dlineman.
Rashard Jeanty was a miss in 2001. He played 2 years of college and rode out to Canada. Ended up starting for the Bengals at LB. His teammates at carol city, Willie Jones and Peterson, turned out to be busts and they were undersized.
Just remember the Weaver twins out of MNW. Still, they were switched to LB and neither of them were ever productive and barely played. Also, they were the only undersized kids that were recruited, and that was likely due to them being very high twitch athletes. The one that went FIU was the fastest kid on the team the year that he transferred over and the one that stayed at UM ran in the 4.3s. They were very high twitch athletes.
-Palm Bay had Reggie Nelson and a bunch of big time kids. Dillard was LOADED every year....its actually crazy watching them be almost a doormat because how deep Dillard area is/used to be. Alot of the kids that use to go to Dillard are getting spread out to the privates in broward..(ST thomas, U school,Gibbons, Heritage)
-Correct..Dumervil was extemely undersized..but Just looking at his stature his **** hands were down to his knees...(wingspan) and he wa sextremely strong...(i worked out with him one off season at his house in the garage..his dad was like an s&c coach and throwback sh*t he ha dus doing)
-Carol City was LOADED on their dline for like a 4 year period....Rashad Jeanty was a beast...Willie Jones was an all american and dade sack leader recruited by everybody...but was a lock to fsu (his lil bro is in nfl now played lb for fsu last year)..Peterson wasnt a bust or undersized either..they were all solid size...Peterson went to Rutgers. They werent bust i dont think just average players there. The Freak (ricky francois) was actually at Carol City the same time as well. So that was a team with 5 div 1 dlineman on the roster...as well as pumping out div 1 linebackers after in Willie Williams who transferred over from Pace.
Man i miss real recruiting talk like this on the board.
Good job Barboni and Jassid of bringing it back to life.....I';m waitring for DMONEY and the crew to start a thread about their area guys (columbus, down south kids)....
**** that's a whole different level of strong
