Re: The Rock says I’m a slacker …

If I understood the Jerickson Fedrick situation, I'd be a genius. The kid is a stud on the football field, has it all. I just don't get that.
In cases like this, I wonder what a UNH is doing. He's in-state, so the cost to bring him in as a recruited walk-on with a substantial aid package wouldn't be much. Or even try him on scholarship? What could they be thinking of? I said the same thing with Max Jacques, and Jeri is just as fast but bigger and stronger.

Look, I've asked before. All I can say is that the pool is very, very deep over there, and at some point, especially in a sport like baseball, where the cuts are made indoors or in a parking lot before anyone plays the game, a player gets missed.
That said, the UMass coach saw Dennis on the first day of tryouts at third base once and knew he was a pitcher. So, you go figure.

Hec, Way off topic here, but any updates on Jerickson Federick at Salem and the plans for next year. Word is he has D1 track offers but wants to play football where there are, stunningly, virtually no offers. Any insight?

The line of kids for whom Chuckie, Ernie, et al have gone the extra mile is very long, indeed.

Great story about Dennis T. He is an inspiration for all of us, a better person than most of us and a true gentleman. He is truly the patron saint of a myriad of talented players cut, ignored, ridiculed and benched over there on Hampshire St.
Good luck Dennis in the MLB draft. Do we dare ask the question how such a talent can be overlooked. Hector perhaps you should querie the powers that be at CC!

Your correspondent checks in so you check out Hector? You haven't written anything in a week. Lets go!

Hector Unacceptable note- yes. The anonymous route is so common today based on the fact that saying hurtful and spiteful comments about 2 individuals and their sons is unacceptable. If hurtful comments are the way in which you feel justified in making such comments, then I suggest put your name in the blog. Both Dustin and Mike played at AHS last year and are exceptional individuals and both were a credit to the AHS program. I miss them both. And oh, by the way drop by the High School any afternoon and we can talk. Being the Freshman Baseball Coach at AHS gives me a little more insight regarding this matter. Coach Robinson AHS Baseball

Correspondent doing a great job. Mentor is totally immersed in newspaper issues, but weather permitting heads to the piviotal Methuen-Haverhill matchup on Wednesday.

I believe it was Dick Licare who first used the line on me, "Every knock is a boost."
I think a kid as mature and polished as a Dustin Hunt or a Mike Geaslen will only look above such a hurtful, ridiculous comment and succeed, in spite/because of it.

Seems like the correspondent is doing more work than the mentor....

Such an immature note, did you consider that it might be coming from a kid? I can't imagine an adult writing something like that. However, I am surprised that you would give it the time of day (by posting it online) because it's pretty hurtful and hateful toward two kids and their families.

The Hornets are a great group of baseball players playing for a Legend, Frank Carey. The team is a strong united front. The captains keep the team focussed and grounded! Good job boys!

I can only guess that the ET grants you stock options for not covering a very mediocre team. Ah, The Beautiful people.

Not sure how he keeps his job but I have an inkling why his teams are mediocore. Cutting guys like Dennis Torrez(UMass Amherst star) and keeping Tim Wheeler on the bench until his senior year are just 2 examples.

If I want the job, it's mine. Tee hee.
Seriously, no interest.
If I had to guess, isn't it Ernie's turn?

Dwayne Johnson — Thu, 03 May 2012 11:28:36 -0000

Someone said earlier that there were 120+ applicants, I am sure that they are still going through them all. I think odds on favorites are either Ernie D or Kevin M from within the CC Coaching ranks. Both great guys but do they have the experience needed for the difficult position that is CCHS AD?

We will all wait and see.

Hec did you apply? Your son is getting older and that could be a nice little perk for a free ride to CCHS. Just saying...

If nothing else, Coach Cooley is clearly scouring the bushes for New England kids. Carson will fit in well there, but it remains an open question whether PC can realistically compete in the Big East, or do they belong in the Patriot League?

What secrets does Pelleteir have at Central to keep a job this long and always produce mediocre teams.

Interesting. He can really shoot it. If that's accurate, he might be NA first scholarship kid out of high school since the Dick Licare playing days?
I mean obviously John McVeigh played at the Mack, but that wasn't an offer out of HS.

I thought so too but, the tweet mentioned he got it at an AAU showcase last weekend.

Here is the tweet from the Hoop Group:

While looking for that tweet on the NAHS twitter feed, I found this:

Jimmy Warden will be playing at Norwich in the fall.

Hopefully the coaching staff at PC will utilize Carson's strengths better than that baffoon of a coach at Wake did. Hector any word yet about Peter P's replacement?

Got to be football, right? Kid has got the giant, "we can build on to it," frame. Very athletic, too, for that size.

Dartmouth wasn't a full ride for Bramanti. He was persistent, perservered and got what he wanted/deserved. Let's just hope he's got the Wright stuff.

Hec, NAHS' Isaiah Nelson recently got an offer to Fordham according to twitter.
