I hear ya. That is part of the recipe for success. But top talent is a HUGE ingredient. So when I use the word stacked, like other coaches, I am referring to being stacked with TALENT.
If it doesn't show out on the field, there's a good chance it wasn't there to begin with.

When I speak of talent I speak of TANGIBLE, PROVEN, ON FIELD, GAMEDAY TALENT. As well as SPEED, ATHLETICISM, TOUGHNESS, and PLAYMAKING ABILITY.
Now, you may very well hold your own, different personal opinions, and that's fine.
I use my own 53 years of experience as a player, recruiter, coach, and spectator to determine talent. Partially subjective, mostly objective.

Although I'm sure you are a much better judge of talent than I. My football knowledge is nothing compared to yours.
High school "talent" is not always the same as D2 talent.
I just hear people talking about teams being stacked all the time. only to watch them lose 5 or 6 games in a year. It happens pretty often.
Pretty much every team in the country has 120 to 150 players and they are trying to find 40 who can perform on that day, so does 66 to 75 percent of the talent they worked hard to recruit and develop underperform, or was it really there to begin with?

[QUOTE=Techster88;n734861]
Yes, Pops Allen HS was always stacked because they had so many to choose from. Is it / was it the largest HS in the state?[/QUOTE]
Yes. However, their sports have dropped off as more and more Indians and other Asians are moving in. STEM and the Arts are becoming more popular than sports.

Here’s the official scoop. It sounds like a good group. You’ve got to love a DC named Levi ! Actually just having a DC again is exciting.
