No clue how LSSS would fare but wouldn't challenge your estimate.  I think it is aa very interesting concept for a school and could be attractive to a good number of student athletes.

Jasper has the #14th and 28th kids in the top 2024 Recruits in Texas and Franklin worked them.  Jasper is really talented.  Where are all of those super athletes at LSSS on this list. Of the top 30 kids this year two are at Jasper.

There's actually one up here in Sioux Falls.  I instantly told my girlfriend "HELL NAW!"

How did this Chain survive in 44 States???  I would rather eat that In-N-Out Garbage.

You guys sure? So you're saying Dickey’s doesn’t match up with likes of Stiles Switch, Blacks, Franklin, Valentina’s, Interstellar, Micklewhaires, La barbeque, Snow’s BBQ etc. 

Ok I’ll take your words on it. 😂

Sir Hurricane, 

This only bring their stud count to 4. When they hit da 18 or 19 like IMG and old Mater Dei, like the Thing 2;

Or if he travel da 40 mile to class every day, den maybe we talk more.

Define "stud count".  For the '25 class they have the #1, 9, 51, 59 (two top guys are top 50 in the nation).  For the class of '26 they have the #17, 33 and 49 players in the state.

 

Early indications are that Yancey is a top 10 guy in the nation.

 

 

From the Dallas Morning News:

 

Duncanville will have perhaps the most prolific passing game in the country with five-star Alabama pledge Keelon Russell at quarterback, five-star Oregon pledge Dakorien Moore and three-star junior Ayson Theus at wide receiver and three-star junior Zachery Turner playing wide receiver and tight end. Those four players have a combined 87 college offers and helped Duncanville average 51.3 points and 476.7 yards of total offense during a 14-1 season

And now Duncanville has added one of the premier wide receivers in America in the Class of 2027 to that mix. Trenton Yancey (6-0, 175) announced on X on Thursday night that he has transferred to Duncanville after playing his freshman year at Arlington Lamar.

This is a complete lie. 
 

Who said anything about IMG or Mater Dei. Mr football whines about high level transfers into power programs. He calls that vomit recruiting. Just wondering if that applies when Duncanville, North Shore, and Desoto do it. (They’ve all added elite transfers this off season btw) All my post was about.

Stud = 4 star and 5 star players, or players in the state top 50 according to “not me”.

So, #1, #9, #17, #33, and #49 are the potential studs. You have named only two 5⭐️’s in the QB [Russell ] and the WR [Moore].

Only 5 and 4 star players are what matter, or top 50 players in state; “Your own words”.

North Shore has 3. One five star and two four stars.

DeSoto has 2. Two four stars.

Duncanville has 3 , 4 , 5 ??? Not sure. Two five stars and whoever else you see they have added who are relevant.

You yourself said Mater Dei has 8 of the states top 250 recruits.

Although, you narrowed it down to 4 stating four of them were 3⭐️ but forgot that of those 8 top 250 recruits, only 1 are in your states top 50.

So, Mater Dei has 1 relevant player and Duncanville might have 3.

There, it is settled.

Duncanville 🤢🤮

Mater Dei = Blessed with the best coaching in the nation, with the toughest competition in the nation and makes due with the little they are fortunate to have.

Lot to shake out with the rankings, typically the class will have ~30-35 Five*s per class.  If that holds true and there is no movement in the rankings the Panthers have 3 solidly in that range and four likely.  of course they could move in and have some potentially move out.

Take a deep breath. Nobody said all of that. You brought up Mater Dei. I was making a joke at a guy that is anti-transfer. It’s ok. I promise.

Texas High School Top 25 teams

Thirty high school football teams from the state of Texas rank in the top 100 nationwide — led by the Duncanville Panthers. Below are the top 25 teams in Texas heading into the 2024 season.

Texas high school football has a reputation for having some of the best talent and programs in the country. That should continue in 2024

1. Duncanville
Rated as the No. 2 team in the country for the 2024 season, Duncanville should once again prove to be the team to beat in Texas high school football. Four prospects rank inside the top 150 in the 2025 cycle for the state of Texas, led by an electric offensive combo of Five-Star Plus+ Oregon wide receiver commit Dakorien Moore and Alabama five-star quarterback commit Keelon Russell. On the defensive side of the ball, the Panthers are led by a pair of SMU commits: safety Tyren Polley and cornerback Javion Holiday. The junior class is well-represented as well with four-star EDGE Kevin Ford and four-star athlete Zachery Turner.

2. DeSoto
Coming off of a perfect 16-0 season, the Eagles rank No. 3 nationally and second in the state of Texas. Four-star running back Deondrae Riden should lead a powerful rushing attack as he gets set to head off to Texas A&M next year. Four-star wide receiver Daylon Singleton committed to SMU last fall and is another star offensive weapon for DeSoto. Three-star quarterback Kelden Ryan will lead the offense, while the defense is boosted by the likes of three-star safety Sael Reyes and three-star TCU linebacker commit Keylan Abrams.

3. Southlake Carroll
Moving right on down the national ratings to No. 4, Southlake Carroll has long been a football powerhouse in Texas. The Dragons finished 2023 with a loss to DeSoto to cap off a 13-2 year. Tennessee four-star tight end commit Jack Van Dorselaer should be an imposing big target for the Southlake Carroll offense. Four-star wide receiver Brock Boyd is committed to TCU and headlines the junior class fo the Dragons. USC three-star running back commit Riley Wormley and three-star Baylor commit Davis Penn round out a dynamic backfield.

4. North Shore (Houston)
Houston North Shore went on a 16-0 run before being knocked off by Duncanville in the final game of the season. The Mustangs feature multiple blue-chip prospects, including Five-Star Plus+ Ohio State cornerback commit Devin Sanchez — the top defensive back in America. This loaded defensive also includes top-100 LSU linebacker commit Charles Ross and three-star Arkansas linebacker commit Nigel Pringle. Four-star wide receiver Quanell Farrakhan Jr. is committed to Colorado and joined on the offense by Pitt offensive tackle commit Jordan Fields.

5. Atascocita (Humble)
Atascocita’s 2023 season was ended by the aforementioned Houston North Shore in a close 34-28 loss. Top Eagles include Oklahoma four-star running back commit Tory Blaylock and talented junior running back Cardae Mack. Atascocita has three Texas top-10 teams on its 2024 regular season schedule in Katy, Austin Westlake and Houston North Shore.

6. Aledo
The 5A Division I champions, Aledo capped a 16-0 perfect season with a blowout win over Smithson Valley in 2023. Junior wide receiver Kaydon Finley is one of the top prospects in the country, ranking No. 69 nationally and No. 9 among wideouts. Finley is joined on the Bearcats offense by four-star junior running back Raycine Guillory.

7. Guyer (Denton)
Denton Guyer will open up its season at home against Aledo at the end of this month. The Wildcats are led by Oklahoma’s future signal-caller, four-star quarterback Kevin Sperry. Sperry played his high school ball in Oklahoma last season for Carl Albert, throwing for 31 touchdowns and 3,564 yards. Junior safety Kaedyn Cobbs is a top-100 prospect in the 2026 On300.

8. Longview
Longview lost to Lancaster 27-24 to end an 11-2 2023 campaign. The Lobos’ only other loss in 2023 came at the start of the year in a 2-point loss on the road at McKinney. This year, Longview opens with a pair of road games at Lufkin and Marshall.

9. Westlake (Austin)
Austin Westlake went on a stellar 14-game run in 2023 before its season was cut short by Houston North Shore in a 23-14 loss. This year, a showdown with Atascocita is looming in week three for the Chaparrals. Three-star quarterback Rees Wise is just a junior but is emerging as a coveted passer in the 2026 class. Duke has landed a commitment from Westlake three-star linebacker Elliott Schaper on the defensive side of the ball.

10. Katy
Katy ended last season’s campaign on a heartwrenching note with an overtime loss to Cypress Cy-Fair. Now, they’ll look to bounce back in 2024 with a schedule that includes Texas top-10 team Humble Atascocita. The Tigers’ offensive line is led by a pair of Power 4 commits in future North Carolina interior offensive lineman Byron Nelson and Texas Tech IOL commit Patrick McMath.

11. Summer Creek (Humble)
12. Allen
13. North Crowley (Fort Worth)
14. Prosper
15. Byron Nelson (Trophy Club)

16. Vandegrift (Austin)
17. King (Houston)
18. Cedar Hill
19. Dickinson
20. Rockwall
