Clairton vs Port Allegany

[bucktown33]

Thanks animus. I'll prolly try to multi task while listening to the dunmore game. Can you guys provide me with some information on Clairton and PA on the defensive side of the ball and each team's Olines. I've had read a lot about the weapons of these teams, but how Big and Physical are they on the Oline. Also on defense, how are each team on defending the pass and run, and what is their size like?

[animus]

I don't know much about PA's size but Clairton is your traditional Class A team upfront. We're about 6'0 averaging 215-220 across the line. There is a 1 around 240 and one at 260 mixed in with 2 at 210 and one under 200. Clairton's defense is absolutely speed based. Very aggressive against the run and pass. The defense just loves to hit. While the DLine is a little undersized its very physical and fast.

Granted these are short vids. Its a general idea of Clairton's size up front and style of D

Much appreciated animus. Very athletic team. Hopefully Your Bears and My Bucks win this week, and we can see a great matchup. Plus I'll finally be able to watch a game through PCN. Is Boyd leaning towards any particular college, or does he have a short list? Once he gets into a D1 program's weight room he seems like he will have a bright future

Smart money is on Pitt or WVU but I know he was also trying to take visits to Wisconsin and Arizona. A lot of people in the know seem to think he'll go to Pitt along with teammates Titus Howard and Terrish Webb.

All I have to say is best of luck to any DC trying to prepare for TB



Kyle is right. I tend to think he'll end up at Pitt.

Seems to me his style would be better suited in the systems of WV or Arizona, he would definitely shine. Doesn't seem like a bruiser type runner that goes to Pitt or Wisconsin. Pitt must be b/c of location and friends.

He's a WR prospect that's playing RB. He's just as good or better as a S as he is on offense.

Makes my point stronger. No way is he going to play S in college because of how talented he is with the ball in his hands. Since he is a hybrid WR/RB, WV and Arizona offenses will enable him to do both and more. Where as Pitt and Wisconsin are not as flashy and won't move him around much. He reminds me of Slaton, Devine, or Austin. Rich Rod would have a field day with this kid, and I'm sure he has some other recruits coming in that would accommodate him. Pitt is a program treading in water.

[animus]

I can see the Austin or Percy Harvin comparison but not Devine or Slaton.

With Chapman or Voytik at QB, Shell at RB, Boyd and Foster at WR Pitt's offense has to potential to be explosive for years to come.

[bucktown33]

Little wishful thinking with the Percy Harvin comparison. He's got a long way to go before he can reach that status.
