Blair Oaks does not recruit. The only way a student is able to attend Blair Oaks is either they live in that school district or if 1 of their parents is employed by the school district as staff or teacher.
On3 uses a "Massey Projections" model that I assume is just a computer algorithm similar to calpreps. On3 then compiles the rankings from the Massey Projections, calpreps, ESPN, SI and some media as well. Then they use that to compile the rankings into their own.What is on3? Is this like a cal preps type of service?
you attending or streaming. I got a coworker with a couple boys on LC, they have had some good teams get ended by Lamar last couple years if memory serves me wellI like looking at the rankings, not so much because I think they are right, but more because I actually think they are very wrong most of the time and enjoy the debate and banter it creates. I think that most of the time the computer does a better job than the media for obvious bias reasons but it still has a lot of flaws. I think Fair Grove and LC being ahead of Valle doesn't make a whole lot of sense but we will find out shortly. That FG vs. LC game should be a good one and is probably the game I am looking forward to the most besides the LSN vs.Nixa matchup.

I said it much earlier in the season, Carthage had size but other than that they were unimpressive and had no business up at 5, Webb while some on here are starting to toot the horn cuz of the wins they know deep down this team is not normal webb, they are not near as crisp or fast as in the past. They will be totally overmatched in just a few days and this whole song and dance can be put to rest.
LSN vs Nixa is going to be interesting and is probably the real championship game but if either goes in thinking that and wins they may just jinx themselves for the actual championship game
no sir, i believe Festus has that one rightfully. MT. V has a punchers chance and thats shown in their 7%.If there is a 100% it would definately be seneca.

They will be totally overmatched in just a few days and this whole song and dance can be put to rest.With the current rankings I will hold the teams that are still alive and in the playoffs. Let's see which classes have the most/least amount of top ten teams left.
Class 5
1) Cardinal Ritter
2) Platte County
3) Helias
4) Lafayette (Wildwood)
5) Carthage
6) Republic
7) St. Pius X
8) Eureka
9) MICDS
10) Webb City
Only 1 team left that is not in the top ten: Ft. Zumwalt West (17). I think it is interesting that Webb whooped the number 5 team and is number 10. I know their record is what is bringing them down but their recent performances have shown they are capable of beating just about anyone.
Class 6
1) Lee's Summit North
2) Nixa
3) Lee's Summit
4) Liberty
5) Blue Springs South
6) Liberty North
7) CBC
8) Kirkwood
9) Park Hill
10) De Smet
2 teams left are not in the top ten: Rock Bridge (11) and Jackson (14). The top two teams also play in the Quarterfinals for this class. Hate it when that happens but this class is so wide open it seems that the rankings are almost impossible to make accurate.
Im not buying that shit at all or else some are right fire the coach. You have offseason workouts, then all summer long to get people trained up and in the right spot.People were saying this team was short on talent. They were never short on talent their talent was short on experience or not in the right place.
They have a lot of skilled kids and a lot of skilled coaches and a somewhat unique system that everyone knows. What they are able to do that most other programs cannot do is move kids around, give the next kid up a shot. If someone isn’t working out they have options. Most programs don’t have the depth to do that and make a meaningful difference, the team is either good or it’s not.
As an example I’m told that most programs hope to have one good QB roughly every other class of kids. There is a group coming up in Webb that has 3 good QBs in just one class. So when that group is varsity add those with other classes and they could potentially be down to the 4th string qb and still have better qb than many of their opponents. I’ve heard similar things about RBs.
damnt i know we not supposed to look ahead but now you have me wondering what BSS and Liberty return.They will be just as good next year!
You accuse them of recruiting and say you have to know someone in order to buy or build there. How is that not implying that they are doing something illegal?

Never said or implied any of that and I clearly don’t have a problem as I have stated numerous times.There are people that move into the district, that's obvious. You don't have the growth that they've had without people moving in. But there are still a lot of traditional names currently on the team and in the district. But most of them move in at a young age. You make it sound like they are getting a bunch of move ins during their high school years. Parents choose to send their kids to what they feel is a better school or the best situation for their kids. And if they do it legally, what is the problem?
Only after I spotted you a week..!You do realize that I BEAT THE MoSports CLOWN @HomeyR during the regular season pick em, right? NICE TRY BOZO!!
They will be just as good next year!If Nixa can't win a championship with this group they (or any rural C6) never will.

No one is crying. All I do is point out the hypocrisy of people like yourself. I'm all for parents doing what is needed to send their children to the best possible school. Blair Oaks is as good as it gets when it comes to public schools. I'd argue it's among the best in the country, let alone the state.
So please keep spinning this web that BO is all homegrown and blah blah blah. There is a reason BO has a poor relationship with surrounding schools. And yes you are right, there are many factors in BO's success, but this one you keep deflecting from because you know there is truth to it.
