As many high schools as Joe Pridgen, only one more college after LC to match Joe's college vagabondary. His dad is an assistant AD at Temple. "The 6-1, 198-pound quarterback enrolled in Washington State in January of 2019. He participated in spring practice and took a redshirt season. Angelos spent the final two years of his high school career at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy in Philadelphia. He was a two-time All Inter-Academic honoree, throwing for 1,400 yards with 16 touchdowns and three interceptions as a junior while accumulating 1,900 yards with 27 touchdowns and three interceptions. As a freshman, he attended Carrollwood Day School in Tampa, Fla., collecting All-Hillsborough County honorable mention after going 62-of-103 for 1,200 yards with 12 touchdowns and four interceptions. His sophomore year was spent at Tesoro High School in Las, Flores, Calif., throwing for 720 yards and six touchdowns." Chris Butash went to Carrollwood Day. Angelos was a year ahead of him? Angelos had transferred/moved prior to Chris attending Carrollwood Day. Yes, I believe Angelos was HS Class of 2018.

The rosters of HC sports have many graduates of non public high schools. Except for FB, they are all losing programs over the last few years. Ergo?

Well played Matt. What a beautiful indoor track and (football) field facility. Well played? At some point enough is enough. Move on.

Not sure what that bit of info about our graduates may mean. IMHO, the individual athlete's skills and overall attitude are more important than any religious affiliation of their high schools. Is religious education a hindrance to athletic success?

Is religious education a hindrance to athletic success? . If you have to skip practice to be the Alter Server for Stations of the Cross, maybe.😊 I was thinking of private schools like Carrolwood Day, which I know nothing about, and wondering if it is harder for recruiters to judge the skill of players who are only competing against a subset of all athletes their age. Maybe in other states the local public and private schools are in the same leagues, I don't know. Around here Catholic Schools compete against public schools but generally private schools do not.

Used to be in Massachusetts you wouldn't get much talent out of the private schools but now you would

Any UConn or UMess transfers for Holy Cross? That could be interesting!

We have better players than UConn and UMass (with a few exceptions)

They are recruiting a DL - Nathan Voorhiss I believe - decommitted from UCONN. Beyond that - no clue if they are looking at anyone in the transfer portal.

Any word any HC players looking to enter portal? Would be little nervous with the success of the team that some younger players may look for other opportunities if Chesney talk heats up about leaving. Seeing all the decommits/portal players leave from Oklahoma today seems like that could crush a program quick.

Such conjecture on this forum is not productive and I would hope we refrain from such discussions

Not counting grad transfers, I will guess we’ll see 2 or 3 kids enter portal and transfer....which would be normal in this age.

Seeing all the decommits/portal players leave from Oklahoma today seems like that could crush a program quick. No inside info. to share on this issue, but I would not be surprised if one of the QBs (other than Sluka) decided to enter the portal. Siderman has some good tape and would likely draw some interest. Pesansky also must know that it could be 3 years before he gets a shot if Sluka continues to play well and stays through his fifth year. QB is one of those positions where you either play or you don’t have a path to getting into the game. At least a DB, RB or WR can get some playing time on special teams. The availability of a 5th year for many players also creates more options for them, but at the same time can lead a player to feel that they don’t have a path to getting any meaningful playing time if there are seniors and fifth year players who are ahead of them on the depth chart.

From the rumor mill..... Much to the frustration of the staff, transfers are not seen highly by HC admissions.

Plus, a new schollie QB recruit will be in next year. Agree we could see a departure.

For those that transfer, and not continue to compete for the position at a school, where they are on scholarship, the grass is greener, and they will be automatically be handed the starting position at the next destination. 🤔🙄😤☹️
Kid inflated egos and lack of sound parental advice regarding their next college choice are beyond the point of a rationale decision.
The comment is not directed to any one individual, but the overall ecosystem of college football and basketball.

What coach / school do you know of promises portal transfers they will automatically be handed the starting position at the coach’s school? Possible? Sure. Probable? No.

That’s exactly the point.
Inflated egos and narcissism regarding how many athletes are making their decisions to transfer thinking they will immediately be on the A team at the next stop.
They are in for a rude awakening when their eligibility is over, and will have to compete after college to earning a living in business, education, etc.

Starting to notice young NFL quarterbacks who attended multiple colleges, so it works for some. HC FB will participate in the portal from a position of strength to the extent they participate, so we've got that going for us. Nobody should leave due to a poor atmosphere around the team or a losing culture.
Regarding the current QB situation. I'd like to see Siderman inserted with a sequence of passing plays planned to take advantage of his strength and not start him out with a run, which perhaps was called Saturday to try and surprise the defense but didn't work. He's capable of running if no one is open but why waste his specialty, passing?
If both Sluka and Siderman are on their game, Nova will have to defend every blade of (fake) grass.

Wow! This is a big one. He was the #1 QB recruit in this year’s class. He will have quite a few suitors:
