I haven't taken the time to look at tape on all of these guys yet, so I don't have an opinion on the talent, but it is encouraging to see the number of commits so far in this class compared to previous years. Especially the number of local recruits. Perception might be changing...just keep winning!!

Got to see Barberton play last year and this guy is a stud.  Really stood out on the field.

 

Thanks for these updates, Zach!

Precisely the atmosphere we've got to cultivate.

Kobie had a nice game last night.  From the ABJ:

 

Barberton 37,
Tallmadge 6

Kobie Booker rushed for a touchdown, caught a touchdown pass and returned an interception 95 yards for a touchdown to lead the host Magics (5-2, 1-2 American Conference) over the Blue Devils (2-5, 0-3).

 

Kobe's a stud.  I saw Barberton play earlier this year & while I was still outside the stadium buying a ticket, I could see Barberton's team warming up & I could tell which one was Kobie - this was from about 40 yards away.  Young buck's built like a freaking brick wall; looks like he's 25 years old.

This dude's a tank.  Built like the Incredible Hulk.  6-1, 260, and can run!
