• @843 right now I am playing a D1 sport. A kid graduated this year is at AF academy playing basketball. 2 years are playing high level D2 softball. Multiple kids playing NAIA. Sooo we produce at CC.

  Also my point really wasn't for athletes looking to play at the next level come to see and be seen. You are correct about how the club teams are insane now and thats where they get looks. I should of said people come to CC that want to win more. Because CC wins a lot more than any other school in the HLC. Also just saying that the coaches at CC know a lot of people at "next level" and talk to them about their kids, setting those coaches to go see them at AAU or Club szn.

  Bryce is also at Old Dominion about to be a starting for his 3 straight years in baseball so.....
  Nick also left because the coaches didn't let his broken ankle heal properly so he couldn't get back to full shape, strength, ability, so that why he didn't play. Lets know our facts before we start saying stuff please thanks.

  I am also not saying CC is the only option for a good education. I just believe because I went to a public school that had issues with not counting tardies, no late homework, etc. I am not saying your schools are like this. Just from my experience and what I see in college, CC prepared a lot better than any other school.

• Lol. Many people went to Smcc and don't go there now. Many kids that don't go there are also very successful. Not so unbelievable. Hopefully you were kidding.

• @6:18 The only bit of truth in your post was the date and time stamp...LOL

• I went to MCC, my kids went to Jefferson and are now successful engineers. Unless its a family generation thing, going to SMCC is a status thing. Kids and families that are successful will be successful wherever they go.

• @ 6.22, The real catch here is that people believe that if they send their kids to SMCC that they will have a better chance to move on. Great for your school to convince people of that. Any good athlete at any school can play at the next level. If you want to play college sports you seek out schools that are interested in your level of ability and your in. Not a big deal. If people want to pay $40,000 to believe that, great. As far as education, SMCC is lower than many schools in our county. Many classes are not offered enough to even allow every student to meet the state requirements because your enrollment is so low. Word is out 6:22, that's why your enrollment is dropping. There is more to life than sports.

  By the way has anyone from SMCC ever gone past college to play? I know kids from Jefferson, Airport and Monroe who have went to the highest level.

  I have all the respect in the world for coach Windham, but his own son didn't even play college basketball, his best opportunity was in baseball. Nick Welch transferred because he didn't play. I know his roommate.

  I will talk about recruiting another time. Just ask about John Lako.

• 10:50, spot on! SMCC by 30 tonight. Such a difference in leagues. I hear great things about this Muck kid, but does he really run a 4.3? That is world class and only a few in the NFL run that, so I truly doubt it. Oh, and I'm not a SMCC guy at all. Huron League guy and watch and see how they fair tonight. I think the View may be the only ones to get knocked out, and that's not a knock on them, just think Allen Park is probably a little better this year.

• Sorry but I think going like 50-2 and playing in the state semi finals helps in your recruiting. And it’s called aau not club, must be a volleyball fan

• Rite on 10:50 and you left out one other little detail from that CC/ Clinton game.( maybe on purpose). CC had that game basically won with 2 minutes left in the game when they stopped Clinton on 4 and 13 only to give them a huge 1st down on a unsportsmanlike call after the play was over

• Coach Kipf is the best of the best. PERIOD.

• I find it interesting that all the other Previews have no or very few comments today and this one has 54. Evidently, there's a lot of interest in CC. Any thoughts as to why? As a CC grad, it's annoying to me when folks accuse us of being arrogant. The reality is, very few CC people make comments on this site and when they do, they usually just humbly state the facts. Sorry if the facts hurt but they are the facts. And then there's the recruiting comments that always come out. The fact is, most (ie. maybe 90 - 95%) of the kids on this year's team are Catholic kids who played in the CYO league and come to CC for a good, Christian education. For them, the opportunity to play on teams that are usually successful is a bonus, not the priority. Parents don't send their kids to CC so they will be noticed and recruited. That would be ridiculous because CC teams, especially football, don't highlight one player. Take the running backs for instance. The coaches spread the ball around to many backs and the result is, none of them have a lot of yards. Unless I'm wrong, every school in the Huron League (Monroe County for that matter) is a school of choice. Parents choose to send their kids to CC for the education and Christian environment first and foremost. I know something about this because I have put four kids through CC over the past 15 years.

  @10:50 Thanks for the comments/clarifications. There is a lot of mutual respect for Milan's teams at CC and for good reason - Fact.
