True.  My point was that the Catholic league schools downstate have to compete a lot harder for top players because of the number of schools. Iona hardly has a monopoly on them. 

 

I watch the games. This game wasn't great HS football.

 

Have you ever watched C football in New York?

 

That's not great high School football 

 

Iona has a kid going to North Carolina there's literally 150 New York schools who don't have one player of that caliber 

 

You're comparing it to Texas ball or big time Pennsylvania ball or Georgia football yeah it's not that level 

 

New York at that level is still better than 15 maybe 20 states depending on year

it would make no sense to compare any top NY high school team to 150 other NY schools. The topic here is the game pitting the top 2 Catholic schools. 
 

the fact that Iona has a kid headed to NC doesn’t mean the quality of the game was better. But yes comparing to Texas or Georgia etc is what I was getting at.  It’s not at that high school level…

Of course it's not at the Texas or Georgia level 

 

But I wouldn't say it's bad football...

 

I still scout HS ball in the mid Atlantic region from NY and PA to NJ and Delaware to Maryland and you will see a mixed bag from top 25 nationally to not great 

 

Don Bosco and Bergen are terrific in NJ .. but not all is that level 

 

5A 6A Texas and Georgia ball , that just breeds a higher level competition.. 

 

Having more schools, smaller divisions does water down the competition a bit and spread out the talent 

 

Compared to super teams you see in Texas or Georgia 

 

 but even Iona prep has put out a good amount of division 1 football players The last 5 years... That is a good football program .. there's a reason why they are number one in the state

They have more than one kid that has D1 offers. They have an edge rusher with an offer from Army, another edge rusher with an offer from Boston College & Syracuse, a 6’9 OT with an offer from Syracuse, a Jr LB with an offer from UB. The QB is committed to play baseball at Maryland……that team is a power house. Not sure why that other guy is tryna downplay Iona Prep?

In my original post I said there was definitely  5+ division 1 football players on the field when I was talking about it with weo

 

Whether FCS or FBS

 

Iwould never say the football talent on the field for that game between both teams was mediocre

 

I've seen them twice this year and I thought they were really good.. not top 25 National but still really good
