This game shook me and reminded me that OSU wasn’t unbeatable when they played bad teams. 1st and only time they’ve beaten us since 1971. thank you for reminding me about Dandrea and Zwick Edited April 28, 2020 by buno67 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETSGOBROWNIES Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 The best H.S. player I’ve ever seen in person was Mike Doss. We played them every year and didn’t beat them till we (my class) were seniors. Doss, Jamar Martin, Kenny Peterson... monsters. They won the usatoday national championship one year. They were men playing boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawgpoun8017 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 the best HS player I saw personally was Mike Hart when he was having his legendary season for Onondaga HS, the best player I actually played against was Ryan Poole, ended up at Boston College 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted April 29, 2020 Author Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) Since we’re being nostalgic. The best I’ve ever seen in person: Mike Adams (Steelers), Jake Stoneburner, Leveon Bell, and Omar Hunter. He didn’t do much in college or the pros, but Omar Hunter was freaking nuts. He was a 5* recruit for a reason. I remembered hearing how he was “the guy” during Urbans prime Florida days. He was just so damn big and fast.

Kiwibrown Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I played with a kid who went pro in the NRL he played a season, I played rugby with 10 guys better than him. I played against a couple of Crusaders, I schooled one of them when I was 115-16 - Peter Bourlase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buno67 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Mine HS- Brian Robiski, we all know him Brandon Lombardi (believe he was a walk on at Purdue. One of the best RBs I ever seen in person). If he never tore his ACL in his junior year, he prolly gets a full ride Billie Marsh, he was a 6’6 310lb tackle who was suppose to go to Indiana but couldn’t pass clearing house. My first varsity snap as a sophomore was against him as a senior. I was 235lbs. I was so nervous I actually forgot to snap the ball cause he was the Shade tech on me lol. Next play, Our WR took a slant 77yards for a TD. I got ran over by I held the crap out of him. College- Pierre Garçon - best and cockiest player ive ever played against Willie Walker - DT from Cal PA. He might be the best DL I ever went up against straight kicked my butt. Literally destroyed every lineman on our OL. We couldn’t stop him. I believe he was a UDFA with the browns. He never stuck tho. Terrence Johnson, a DB from that same Cal PA team. He played a few years in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there are some dudes that weren't even stars in high school that make it to the NFL. Jason Trusnik and Jamie Meder, both former Browns, were simply average players in high school when we played against them. I lined up across from Meder several times in high school and had my way with him, despite being admittedly bleh as a defensive player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginaldm9 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I played against Doran Grant in middle school and remember him being a God level 8th grade football player. That's the best I can do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brownie man Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 I played again Shayne Wynn and Cardale when They played for Glenville. I just thought Cardale was big but Shane killed us.

Which means he’s probably a 4.39 guy. That’s absurdly fast watching in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
