Looked into the local paper today and saw 2 of my former players names in it.
Jon Lechner ( Omaha Prep) and James Davis (Omaha North) both gave verbal commitmets to play for Frank Solich at Ohio University in 2009. They are both being recruited as Offensive Linemen. James was a pretty good player for us both ways. Jon was pretty awkward and didnt help us out on defense until maybe his last year.
Jon played for my program for 5 years I think, I had him his first year. James played for me for 4 years and I only had him his first year, these kids were 1 year apart but same grade, didnt play on the same team for me . I signed James up to play in person at a local baseball park where he was watching a game. We were signing up any warm body, but when James told me he was 10 years old, I asked him why he hadnt played football before ? ( he weighd about 180 then) He replied " No one ever asked me"
Both kids were diligent participating in our weight lifting program from age 12 on. James GPA is 3.5 or above, Jon was on student council etc, very good kids.
On another note we had all but 3 age eligble kids from my 2008 3 teams sign up and pay in advance to play next season. Good and bad, competitively we would be in much better shape if we could add some new blood and some size. All in all a good day.
