If we get Banks...I definitely think Denver Harris is a possibility.
After watching North Shore in person from the sidelines during pregame and and thru the actual game.. I can see why we are getting some of their players now. They are a VERY disciplined and well coached team with very involved and strict coaches. These kids know hard coaching gets then to the next level and wins games...so they aren't scared of playing for a guy like GP.
I mean....how many HS coaches woulda sent Zach Evans home the nite before a state championship game?? Not many. Yea, they had other D1 running backs and great players...but still. It was a ballsy move...just like what GP did to Boykin.
North Shore hasn't been good strictly because they've had great athletes the past 10 years...they have a complete program down there with great, involved coaches who know their stuff. It's awesome we have a pipeline down there now..
they have had athletes for years, but david aymond's teams were overly conservative on offense and they didn't play with the discipline you mentioned above.
aymond had some great teams, that 2003 state championship team put as bad a physical beating on the woodlands as i had seen in a state title game since yates beat the crap out of permian back in the 80's, but most of aymond's teams would find a way to lose games in the play offs or could be physically beaten. very similar to manvel's history.
kay basically grew up professionally at gpns, has worked his way up through the program so nothing was handed to him, he is known in the community, and from what i have been told has the respect of the high school coaches for his staff working as hard as his teams play.
you example on evans is a great one because the only player on that roster close to zach's physical talent is banks and thanks to crypto for posting the tweet from banks.
if an offensive staff had some imagination you could really do some damage with shadrach moving around the formation and it would not surprise me if he does end up getting carries out of the backfield.
he isn't a pure receiver similar to golden in this class or even a big receiver similar to johnston or savion, but the ability to move between the backfield to the slot or even isolated out wide makes him a potentially tough match up.
ulitmately view him as a leveon bell type back
