If Quan Warley is as good as everyone is saying he is, then why is he not on this shrine bowl roster???

[Bornthrilla]

Might be politics. A lot of those kids are well known by Shrine Bowl officials because they participated in a bunch of off-season camps and things of that sort.

He played Class 1A.

[Aggie Monster]

Thrilla hit it on the head. Shrine Bowl is based off last years performances and combine stats. These kids were selected before the season was even half way over. They got Saunders at Def end when he is one of the top 2 receivers in the state. He is the best tight end hands down. They also got Josh Olgesby playing DB when he is going to VT to be a running back. Greg Little is not even on the team and he is going to Notre Damn as a WR/RB. Its because he wasn't on the radar his junior year.

[4XLAGGIE]

3,304 yards and 43 touchdowns as a junior. What kind of radar are they using, one from the space station???

[da heretic]

As said previously, this stuff is based on combine workouts. If Quan didn't go to the Shrine Bowl combine (apparently he didn't), then he would not have been invited. Like 'thrilla and Monster said, politricks.

I can't buy that... But, to each his own...

[Aggie Monster]

I wasn't talking about Warley not on the radar. I was talking about Greg Little.

Whats not to buy, you got proof right here? It's combine workouts and your junior year. 1A and 2A athletes rarely get a shot at the shrine bowl.

(They also got Josh Olgesby playing DB when he is going to VT to be a running back.)

He really did not show me a thing this year either but his coach is a coach on the team. Warleycould have taken his place. Olgesby did not come close to the yardage Warley did. Ike Olgesby is Josh father, He was UNC rushing leader from 1971-1973. It's all about politices.

[4XLAGGIE]

1-A, 2-A, 20-A. If you can play, you can play...

[AggieMike]

Going to the Shrine Bowl Combines really get your name on their radar

[truthseeker]

Thomasville is a top quality football program with super athletes anytime you have the chance to get a top player from there you go get him. They're 1A and beat a couple of 3A schools last year!! I heard Warley is on par with Tony Baker as far as ability.

[dj98]

(I heard Warley is on par with Tony Baker as far as ability.)

Thats alot to say, If that's the truth we need to flood his front door tomorrow. School ,house Ect.

DJ, one of our homeboys who lives in Greensboro has said the same thing. He has seen both players play several times and he said that talent-wise that they were about the same. Was Baker hurt this year. He didn't play as much at NC State this season as last year, I heard?
