    Joe Martinek

    After watching Joe's highlights, it is mindblowing that this kid isn't a household name. Let's see: blazing, and I do mean blazing speed, strength, pass blocking/ability to pick up and neutralize blitzing defenders, catches the ball out of the backfield. Christ, the Rutgers receivers on the...

    Jack Snowball: RB, Wadsworth High School (OHIO)

    Snowball has orally committed to Miami (Ohio), of the Mid-American conference. I'm happy for him that he got a full scholarship, but it is astounding that Miami only started recruiting him 2 and a half weeks ago "after watching him on film". So here we have the Ohio Division I (largest...

    Carolina Speed, I'll let you know as soon as I find something out.

    How do we get it open for comments? I understand why he isn't being recruited, I have just posted it to show yet another glaring example of the caste system in football. It would be great to hear the views of others.

    A brief update: the caste system is still hard at work: http://www.sportsink.com/259/4531/will-div.-i-recruiters-warm-up-to-wadsworths-snowball/Default.aspx

    Dan Dierdorf: perpetuating the "white man is slow" myth

    Just heard Dan Dierdorf make the following comment right after Brian Hartline (Dolphins) blew by a black corner to make yet another nice catch: "Brian Hartline continues to surprise corners with his ability to get by them." It's a miracle! Or perhaps just a minor slip up by the corner...

    Penn State receiver hospitalizes Matt McGloin with locker room punch

    Perhaps some diversity training for McGloin would have prevented this? If a white person walked up to anyone in public and caused such bodily harm, we would have been booked on assault charges, etc. And if a white person did this to a black?: Rioting in the streets (explained as completely...

    Joe Schobert

    Thanks for giving this talented young man some exposure on this site. It's quite obvious that his coach is trying to be very "subtle" in asking about the deserved scholarship offer from Wisconsin. With the kid's size and ability, it's obvious he can play DI football. And if Wisconsin won't...

    Carolina Speed, thanks for the Wofford information! I will pass that along to several high school players that I think would be a great fit for their program. I am going to try to get in touch with a few coaches who may know Snowball's head coach, and see if they can assist in drumming up some...

    I think icsept is correct: Snowball did get the attention of the AP sportswriters, and consequently (surprisingly) was rewarded for his efforts. But to accomplish what he has and not even one Mid American Conference school has shown interest (by the way, Kent State and Akron are about 30-45...

    Jack Snowball: RB, Wadsworth High School (OHIO)

    Snowball named AP First Team All Ohio as RB Both jaxvid and Carolina Speed brought up valid points that I did not consider, i.e. injury history and the need to be a shameless self-promoter to get attention. I was a bit naive in regards to the use of the internet, et. al. to get your name...

    Great looking high school running back!  Look at his stats in the attached article/link I read the beginning of the article, and I enjoyed how the columnist seems perplexed as to why this kid has ZERO DI interest in him. I wanted to send back a one sentence reply: "It's because he's...
