I didn't really see "it" from the Box kid, especially on defense. Decent offensive player, IMO he was shying away from contact. Didn't really tackle that well, seemed like he wanted to grab the ball carrier instead of tackling. He got juked out of socks on a few plays.
Ryan Broyles, man this kid is amazing. For a kid to dominate 6A teams like this. He is a must get from the state of Oklahoma. I can't say enough about this kid, Reggie Smith like.
NHS has won 3 games in a row pretty convincingly. against Norman North, Moore, and Enid.
Norman is good, no doubting that. But I think you can go ahead and print Muskogee's name on that 6A trophy...toooooooooo much talent...and they also have another guy I think we'll end up offering and picking up in Dre Stout....he is having wayyyyyyyyyyy too many 200 yard games to just look past at this point....besides, we aren't going to get Lennon Creer, so he should be the lone RB we take this year...
I have too much sympathy for myself to feel any for you......
i've been out of state for 15 years, but when/how is Muskogee get to 6A? i can understand how a town like Choctaw goes from being a small town to an OKC suburb....but Muskogee is not real close to Tulsa.
forgive my ignorance.
If you mean wrapping up and tackling the ball carrier, then you have watched Brent Venables' defense for too long, that's how you actually tackle a guy... But if he can't tackle, that doesn't surprise me that BV's after him either...

Get on Bob for that one man. Most people don't understand this because of the image built around Bob.

OU better get Broyles. He is a special player.
I watched Box in teh opener. He had like 8 tackles, 100 yards rushing, 10/12 passing for about 300 yards and I think 4 TDs.
He seemed to do fine on defense especially considering how we try to go the other way on every play. He didn't miss any tackles that I saw. There was one play on that was just amazing in which he just ran right through one of Bartlesville's defenders. You would've had to seen it. It is the biggest hit I've seen in high school and one of the biggest hits I've ever seen especially on offense.
Turner Troupe > Austin Box
So what?
Okienole > DD in high school, but everyone knows DD was a D1 athlete.
You obviously have absolutely no freakin' clue what you're talking about.
Turner Troupe, while a good athlete, will see one or two D-1AA offers and some NAIA/D-2 to go along with them.
Turner Troupe = couldn't hold Box's **** in his hands...
I have too much sympathy for myself to feel any for you......
I doubt he would want to. Even if he did want to and still couldn't I would think that is something the coaches should know, I mean that could be a major medical condition. I can just see the headline, "All-star recruit to leave team with elephantitis." Not good.
Troupe will get DI offers.
Austin Box=Dane Zaslaw
Wow, some of you must have seen a different game than I did. I went to watch Box and Broyles play. Both were impressive. Norman never tackled Box on first contact. Box may have missed a tackle or two but the kid never leaves the field. Norman rarely ran at Box. I kept thinking of what Box would do with a little more talent around him and only playing defense. His speed is pretty impressive to be 6'3" 220. I'll take Stoops, Venables, BJW's and several other D-1 coaches', who offered Box, evaluations over some Norman High fans. Broyles needs an offer, the kid can play.
Corey Wilson commiting just hurt Ryan's chances of getting an offer.
Now, I don't think that we will offer him because we have filled our need for the slot position and will probably just wait on the Terrance sweepstakes now.
I have too much sympathy for myself to feel any for you......
Any chance they are laying off of him for off the field/attitude reasons?
From all I've heard, he is a good kid on and off the field. I am not close to their school or program as far as having insiders, but I don't believe him to have any off the field problems...
Any Normanites on the board???

Re: went to the Norman vs Enid game- my thoughts
Box just got hurt last weekend playing Union. 3rd Qtr he got a dislocated elbow. Out 2-4 weeks. I'm from Enid and we still can't compete with the elite of 6A. We haven't won a big game in forever. He is an athelete though. Rarely tackled without help and never on the first try. Very calm in the pocket and laid a pretty nasty lick on a few union receivers.
Saw Broyles play last night. He accounted for about 90% of the Tiger offense.
