  5. They didn’t announce until the third week of April last year, might be waiting a while…
  6. Looks like he is retiring, returning to lead his alma mater… https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39444157/former-nfl-qb-teddy-bridgewater-named-coach-hs-alma-mater
  7. After watching this year, I would rather have a bunch of guys with no stars that came up through Vero’s system together than a bunch of 3-4 star transfers who are just there to fill out their recruiting tapes. I’m just old school I guess, I would rather see a bunch of kids play their hearts out and lose than a bunch of guys who win but look like they don’t want to be out there…
  8. Lol, he could throw further than 20 yards, he started only his senior season and sat behind more talented QB’s his other 3 years at the school. If Coach J wanted his son to play start at the position despite not having the talent to do so, he would have done it before his senior season. The fact is he was the best available player at the qb position that season, he obviously grew up in the system, playing on the freshmen and jv teams and as backup his junior year. He must of been capable enough to earn a D1 scholarship to Akron where he is still as a redshirt sophomore. Any thoughts of nepotism at Vero can probably stop at the high school level because no D1 program will waste a scholarship as a favor to a friend, they obviously saw something there or they wouldn’t have extended the offer.

  10. Maybe people feel coaching favors Deland, although all of the factors you stated definitely are in TC’s favor.
  11. Wasn’t solved last week vs Heritage, the pieces are there, but they have been playing uninspired individual football all year.
  12. You are absolutely correct, Vero is still playing with a lack of fire and cohesiveness, and to me (and others watching last night) look like they could care less to be out there, win or lose- I heard a couple guys near me talking about it and his young son commented to the group "maybe they just want to go home and play video games." Perhaps truer words have never been spoken. I don't know how Coach J can find any new ways to motivate this group this season, nothing has seemed to work as of yet, but if playing a second round playoff game against your current rival who embarrassed you 3 weeks prior to win the district doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will.
  13. Funny thing is that Vero has woefully underused him this season and the majority of his playing time has come during garbage time. They have chosen to use their returning sophmore back as their featured back, but Osby has made the most of his limited touches, and his talent is undeniable. He should see more opportunities this week as the sophomore back was hurt last week and taken to the hospital, so I doubt he will be back this week.
  14. And just like that, Travis Moore has been let go…
  15. Vero got plenty of transfers since then as well, but they have NOT gelled as a team and I also see Heritage winning the rematch. Vero still looks very much lost as a unit.
  16. I have to agree, this whole season I seems as though it’s been, “when they gel as a team, they’ll be dangerous”- but it never happened, plenty of talent there, but it seems like a bunch of football players put together wearing the same jersey, but no team chemistry at all.
  17. Shot in the dark- as I was not at the game, nor did I see any recaps as to how well they hung with Cocoa
  18. Everyone see's it, my personal observation is that is seems like many are less concerned with winning a game and more concerned with producing dynamic content for their recruiting tapes if that makes sense.
  19. Listening to the game- according to the radio guys: the coaching staff is aware of the effort/intensity/cohesiveness issues that have plagued Vero all season, and apparently tore into the players at halftime despite them being up 30-6. It didn’t seem to help as they still played with the same in the second half. on a side note: I don’t know why Vero isn’t using the Palm Bay transfer Octavion Osby more, he’s a senior, runs hard and make the most of his limited opportunities. For some reason they chose to primarily use the sophomore Hillsman as their featured back.
  20. I was impressed with Heritage in spring vs Vero, thought they had the look of a playoff team, agree with your assessment of 2nd, maybe 3rd round exit.
  21. What's most impressive to me about TC is how Coach Irvin Jones has gotten these kids to buy into the programs philosophy. While most of the talk this offseason around here was about Vero due to their transfers, stadium renovation, etc, TC just stayed quiet and went about their business. Due to their style of play, you would expect they would lose kids to places where they can shine offensively, but they don't seem to lose any kids to transfer, nor do they seem to get a overwhelming amount transferring in. They are for the most part "home grown" talent that they seem to pull the most out of. They have in recent years become Vero's main rival, although there is not a hate amongst either side that I can see, rather a healthy respect on both ends. The past 4 years the district championship (2 wins a piece) was decided by this game and I expect this year will be no different, especially now that the game has been moved to one of the last weeks of the year before the playoffs start.
  22. TC is certainly surprising everyone this season, myself included. They still have STA, Cocoa and Vero yet, but very impressive nonetheless.
  23. At this point in the season Vero is not a top 25 team, I know they have a win vs MNW, but that story has been well told, they are playing undisciplined sloppy football and seem very uncharacteristic of Vero Beach team especially on offense. The defense appears stout enough, but the likes of Seminole will expose that I’m afraid. Lots to work on.
