the thing ppl keep missing about Gregg moving in is, he was potentially not going to be playing football his Senior year, as there was a ton of traction in Kentucky towards not playing that season due to COVID. He had to take a gamble and possibly not play his Senior season there or come across the river and play for a solid program. It was the right call at the moment and every one of us would have made the same decision as a 18yo.Ironmen98 wrote: Fri Mar 10, 2023 3:45 pmSounds like recruiting Gregg was a good moveJTEK wrote: Fri Mar 10, 2023 2:17 pmBurg needed Gregg.

Not to the point that if they don't come Burg doesn't still compete, unlike Ironton where you take away the guys they bring in they are mediocre.
Gregg did help but I believe Burg would have found a QB and he would have been fine.
Wilson was good, but definitely not a game changer.
All of this is JMO though!!!

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
he's been saying he's coming all Spring. we shall see. seems like PHS is ready for him to hit the door, too much flirting with the other girlmustard wrote: Fri Mar 31, 2023 1:03 pm heard the kid from portsmouth is still comin lets see if burg fans unlike the tiger fans can admit that they gonna be better
Re: Wheelersburg 2023
He hasn't enrolled yet, so not sure what people are thinking. Burg will play with the kids that have been there since grade school I guess. No open portal for them yet.Sonny Weaver wrote: Mon Apr 03, 2023 7:01 amhe's been saying he's coming all Spring. we shall see. seems like PHS is ready for him to hit the door, too much flirting with the other girlmustard wrote: Fri Mar 31, 2023 1:03 pm heard the kid from portsmouth is still comin lets see if burg fans unlike the tiger fans can admit that they gonna be better
Field Turf going down now. Looks good and overdue.
Re: Wheelersburg 2023
Look forward to seeing the coaches continue to develop their players this year. Hard work pays off.
Rucker looks to be the starting QB but still young, a lot of talent all the way back from their pee-wee days are in that sophomore class as well.
Upcoming senior class has a mix of skill and lineman. An awesome group to watch through the years.

Woby: agreed...Burg got a nice mix of skill and size back next year. That junior glass got some monsters on the offensive line who been waiting their turn. If Rucker keeps progressing like he should, they can go deep into playoffs.*wobycat wrote: Thu Apr 06, 2023 1:17 pm Look forward to seeing the coaches continue to develop their players this year.

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
Definitely. A nice mix of skill in junior class. They are just thin as far as numbers. These guys have been in the system since grade school. Everyone has an opportunity to make impacts. There’s a few in my opinion, that will surprise some. They’ve just been waiting their turn.art_vandelay wrote: Thu Apr 06, 2023 9:39 pmWoby: agreed...Burg got a nice mix of skill and size back next year.

It’s good to already know who’s coming up as a fan.
Re: Wheelersburg 2023
Burgs o and d line will be good on paper. If they can produce, should be great season.

Heard Lattimore from Portsmouth has enrolled at Burg.
If he can keep his head on him I think he will fit in nicely with the Burg offense.

Ironton approached her about transferring there, Burg never approached her. (As I have said, Ironton actively recruits while Burg does not).
She decided to move to Burg for three reasons:
1. Academics
2. Athletics
3. Closer to home (Ptown)

Of course you would never believe it even if she told you directly. Hell, she could have video tape of Pendleton talking with her, and you wouldn’t believe it.
Re: Wheelersburg 2023
Once again, the rule
Transfer to Wheelersburg = Great reasons only, never athletically motivated
Transfer to Ironton = Recruited
I hope the kid experiences success in the classroom and in athletics whatever that means. He and his family made a decision about what they felt is best for them. Good luck to him!

Re: Wheelersburg 2023
As I’ve said over and over “Ironton does recruit, Burg does not”. Fortunately you can easily verify if I am lying. Burg’s at Ironton this year. You can take time out of bowing to your god Pendleton and simply ask the person directly.TigerBob wrote: Tue Apr 18, 2023 8:47 pm Once again, the rule

Of course you could have done this with kids from the past who transferred to Ironton but had connections to Burg. Not difficult to find out the truth if you really wanted to know.
