Kyron Drones as a potential option (not in portal)

Those Kendall Boys and Girls Club kids and parents are a lil soft, you'll have to forgive them. Built into them at a young age.

I still remember when we'd have to do our community interaction **** they'd bring us around to each of the local parks for 50$ a day. **** would crack me up seeing these kids playing ball at k land, west kendall,etc. clear as day why we never heard **** about kids in youth ball or high schools around that way. Palmetto & Perrine ran that **** down that way for a reason. Doing all that was actually how first met Troy & Darren David & LaMont Green. Sarge introduced them to me at a park down south. I can only imagine what this sight would've been like if we had social media at that point when we didn't sign Troy and LaMont. What a miss by the staff. Lol

All I can say is people thought he looked good. Staff, visitors, and former players. ****, the current players love Emory. What happened in the bowl game? I wish I can give you an answer.

Not arguing with you -- what did all those same see from our defense all spring, summer and fall? And how did it not click that they were seeing Emory go up against hot garbage?

Can you share what him & dad wanted, aside from guaranteed starter status and money?

Emotional as in entitled brat?

I know there are a lot of those that go to Columbus.

Maybe he read on here in September that it was either him or Emory as QB1, saw that Pop Tarts Bowl and figured he was #1.

Curious what you and others have heard about him in practice? Putting aside some of the mental stuff and looking lost, his physical tools look awful—noodle arm, very slow release, slow as molasses with his movements in the pocket, etc. Wouldn’t that be obvious even in practice?

I’ve never been high on him for that reason. He's too bad an athlete. Dorsey was smoother. Butch offered him on the basketball court.

Emory is a great kid and you can’t hit the QB in practice. The Greentree environment hides his weaknesses and plays to his strengths- accurate ball, good decisions. But when it’s a game, nothing looks easy.

its always a bad sign when the first positive about a qb is not how skilled he is but that he is a good kid or high character kid

are we really rolling with Nickel as the starter in spring at this point?
 
I am chalking up the miss on Emory to how bad our defense was. When you look back at this season, playing us was pretty much guaranteed to be a career day by the opposing QB. When Emory finally faced a real defense, everything was exposed. Whatever he did on greentree - against our defense - has to be taken with a grain of salt now.

We played Perrine often during my Hialeah Optimist days. We usually played for the Dade Optimist title during the different weight-classes. Perrine teams were tough, athletic and usually well-coached. We had one Hialeah team that only allowed under 5 TDs during season and beat a very good Perrine team 6-0. Many of the players on the Hialeah team went to star at Miami Springs HS, Hialeah HS and HML, and some of those players went to play college ball at UM, UF, Pitt, MissState, etc. Around same time Killian and Southridge had some good teams so I suspect the Perrine players went there.

Sadly, Perrine program was kicked out of Optimist football, at least indefinitely.
Alot of it was due to their home field situation.
Those were the days where when we played at their field, we were advised to keep our helmets on at all times before, during and after games and also encouraged to run to the cars as well.
Good times.
Lol.

In 1967, I played in the inaugural season for Pembroke Pines Optimist. They called us Sewer City because our field was next door to the Hollywood water treatment plant. The first 2 years, we played in the North Dade League - Carol City, North Miami, Oplleika, etc.

The first year we only had a total of 25 kids so it didn’t matter your age or size, you played on the 135 pound team. I was a 95 pound center/MLB. I don’t remember how I wound at those positions but needless to say, I learned many life lessons. We got absolutely obliterated those first 2 years.

Year 3, legendary optimist HC Dare Darnell became our HC and we moved to the South Broward League. We had to try out for positions. I’ll never forget him asking me what positions I played and I told him center and MLB. Coach Darnell chuckled a little and said “Son, you’re now one of my starting RB’s and Rover (strong safety)”.

He made us respectable that first year as we went 5-4. Year 2 7-2 and lost in the championship game to West Hollywood. Year 3 and 4 undefeated with 2 straight championships. 8-9 of us played into our sophomore years in HS because the HC at McArthur at the time was a doofus.

The last 2 years I played, I led the league in rushing yards, rushing TD’s and tackles. We ran a Kansas City “V” offense that was **** near unstoppable. Our defense was a 5-3-3 that coached stressed physicality and toughness (sound familiar LOL).

Those were the days!
 
Seems like FsU may make a move here and i think he can open this offense up they definitely have weapons on offense as well
