  • Its put together by the 247 people. So its the same as the Top247 for Texas, except that its not updated as regularly.

    It's not that suprising. A lot of our fans wanted Barrett instead of Swoopes. I'm one of them.

    I like them both, with the right coaching Swoopes can be big time.

  • Barrett looks much more polished as a passer, but Swoops is definitely the better athlete

    I don't disagree. I just thought Barrett was the better fit for where our offense is headed. We didn't need to take a risk, even though Swoopes may turn out to be a star. We should have taken the sure thing good passer imo.

    Does Barrett play in the "Big" division in Texas? and/or does he play good teams too?

    I know he's 4A so it's really good high school football. 5A is a little better, but it's the second biggest in Texas, which makes it one of the best in the nation. As far as how good his district is I'm not sure exactly, but most are pretty good. Wichita Falls isn't too far north of Dallas so I can't imagine the teams being bad, but there are people on our home board who would know a lot more if you venture over there.

    just keep it civil and you'll be fine. Also, I'm sure if you pm Gerry Hamilton or Jeff Howe they'd answer any of your questions for you if you don't want to risk it.

    there is virtually no difference between 4a/5a talent and competition.

    rider plays in kind of weak district, but they played 3 good teams ooc and won 3 games in the playoffs (made the regional finals). denton ryan is the best team in their division and sends kids d1 every year (de/dt mario edwards - fsu last year + 5 others to texas, baylor, mizzou, aggy and utsa). they lost to ryan, but that's nothing to be ashamed of. they beat the other good team in the district, lake dallas. lost one they shouldn't have to little elm.

    barrett's the better passer, no question about it. texas has a pure passer in brewer from the 2012 class and feels very good about getting another in the 2014 class w/ jerrod heard (same district as barrett). the staff loves swoopes upside and he should have time to develop behind ash and brewer. they also felt like there would be zero chance of landing heard if they got barrett.

    i think you got a great qb. glad he's out of the conference.

  • I think Heard is going to relegate Swoopes to the bench and eventually transfer. I'd take Heard over both Swoopes and Barrett. Swoopes is the best talent no question but is his mental ability close to on par with his athletic talent? I have huge doubts. Not saying he's a stupid or unsmart kid, just saying some kids process things slower and not as well as others. Some kids just get it and Barrett/Heard are in that category.

  • it wouldn't surprise me if swoopes never saw the field at texas. it also wouldn't surprise me if he ended up starting and killing it - but he may not have a big window to do that. he's from a small school and just physically dominates the competition, so he's never had to work through reads or anything resembling a passing offense. he's a project, for sure.

    qb map for texas, assuming ash locks down the starting role and plays well this year.

    let's say ash does well this year and starts in 12, 13 and 14
    brewer redshirts in 12, sits in 13 and 14, starts in 15 and 16 - he may well be the #2 in 12 and only have a chance to start in 16
    swoopes redshirts in 13, sits in 14, 15, 16, competes in 17
    heard redshirts in 14, sits in 15 and 16, competes in 17 and 18

  • There is no question that if Tyrone Swoopes wasn't committed to Texas he wouldn't be a top 200 prospect. He is maybe the third or fourth best QB in the state.

    headslap the 4th ranked qb in the state is your own commit Kohl Stewart and he's ranked 125.

    and the qb who will actually end up in collie station isn't anywhere close to the 247.
