Anything before that would seem to be a bonus. #BleedGreen #TrentIsGOAT Back to Top GraffZ06 General User Member Since: 1/5/2005 Location: Dayton, OH Post Count: 1,895 Status: Offline     RE: Jason Carter’s status for Saturday    Posted: 11/19/2017 2:27:57 PM  Sounds like we need a new/better strength and conditioning program and/or some new/better trainers and dieticians. Also seems to me Saul's philosophy of recruiting fringe athletes with niche talents who fit his style may need some tweaking. If guys physically can't stay healthy (and it's not 1 or 2 - but an issue for multiple players over multiple years now) then you've got to start looking at root causes. I'm all for role players, but if you're asking them to do things beyond what their body might be capable of on a nightly basis - your probability of injury goes up significantly. It's like - who gets injured in middle school gym while playing dodgeball? It's not the athletes. It's the kid in the glasses with two left feet who's trying really hard. Obviously until we get healthy this team is going to struggle mightily. I just worry in the bigger picture that our teams are going to continue to have health issues, and thus continue to struggle, until we address the above.

Will the real Ellis Dozier please stand up? Nobody despises to lose more than I do. That's got me into trouble over the years, but it also made a man of mediocre ability into a pretty good coach.

I can understand in football where if you're matched up against a stronger opponent, he can contort your body in ways it's not supposed to. I would think in basketball, injuries are more freak occurrences than they are due to lack of strength.

At this level there is a lot more stress and pounding than you think, especially for bigs who do not have big natural bodies or have not developed muscular structure for their size.

Anyway, you use a different skill set for your body in different sports. So he always had the thought that kids' bodies get too complacent when doing the same motions over and over again. And when something new is introduced, the body can't react properly and injuries happen.

[/QUOTE] my old junior high football coach was on earl bruce's staff in columbus. he said they always wanted their recruits playing at least two spots because of the muscle group issue with different sports working different muscles. if it came down to a player who played one sport and a player who played two or three for a scholly and they were equal over the rest of the criteria, they normally picked the kid who played multiple sports.

The problem is that that's not the mindset anymore. At least around here even the high schools are now playing year round. They have their regular season with the school then Spring, Summer and Fall seasons with teams that are considered travel teams but are made up exclusively of kids from that school. They play in the "AAU" circuit around here in the Spring and Fall and the HS Summer Leagues. The Juniors and most Sophomores play on the "varsity" teams in the three seasons. Freshman and incoming 8th graders play on the "JV" teams. You can play other sports but you better be darned good because a kid who doesn't play other sports may jump up and take your spot. Tryouts now aren't really tryouts because the coaches already know all the kids very well.

Sure BVP, AJG and Gollon got injured as freshmen, but Carter, Mickle, Campbell, Wadly and Harley were all well removed from HS/AAU circuits. And that's just the injuries from the last 3 years! There's normal injuries, then there's bad luck, then there's trends. I just fear we're getting awful close to the 3rd category.

No, you missed the point, my post is not about specialization, but rather the seemingly year round team play that is a big no-no in Ohio. Ohio, has a 50% rule in out of season competition. This year alone over 60 schools have forfeited contest and athletes suspended for violation of said rules. That being said, we have plenty of people in SEO who believe their kids are going pro or DI, and there is no lack of a cottage industry of pimping mom and dad with the promise of getting the child to the promised land.

Not sure if we have that rule in the DC area but I suspect we do. It seems pretty easy to get around though. As an example, Walt Whitman High School's team that play in the Spring and Fall leagues is called the Bethesda Bullets and the coach is not on the staff at the school. But they run the same stuff that Whitman does and even though they have open tryouts the kids are all Whitman kids. There a million parents out there that think their kids have what it takes to get to the highest level of their sport. That's fine but unless you have a strong plan B you are doing your child a disservice. Even if your son or daughter has the talent and the work ethic (the odds they do is really, really small) the things that can go wrong along the way are many. But athletics can be a good avenue to a great education as well as many other perks (see Walter Luckett).

So on an AAU basketball team only 2 members can be from the same high school, Volleyball is 3 players, Soccer is 5 players, etc. And this is a recent (last 25 years) concession. In volleyball you used to have to submit a JO waiver form to play on a club team. Very few kids played until things exploded in the 90s.
