Thoughts and Prayers


What started out as a great night for high school football ended in tragedy as Chicago Curie RB/DBQuaashi Chandler, collapsed and died with 0:41 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Chandler had had an asthma attack and was pronounced dead at Adventist Hospital in Bolingbrook, Ill.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Chandler family as well as his teammates, classmates and coaches.

It's hard to write a scouting report after seeing tragedy like I did last night but there were a few Curie Condors that I thought had a solid performance and deserve recognition.

Schools still looking in the Class of 2010 should take a closer look at WR/DB Sam Altman. The 6-1, 190-pounder, was easily the most athletic prospect for Curie and scored their only touchdown, a 70-yard pass from Maurice Flemming.

In the 2011 class, James Adeyanju definitely looks the part. Curie was blown out against the 4th ranked team in Illinois but Adeyanju held his own from his defensive end position and made some plays. He's got the size (6-3. 225) and athletic ability that college coaches are looking for.

Back to Curie quarterback Maurice Flemming (2012). Though only a sophomore and took his lumps like a sophomore, Flemming flashed some serious athleticism. Maurice has a very strong arm and showed it on his 70-yard touchdown strike to Sam Altman.

It's hard to get a read on Flemming because of the fact that he had very little time to throw the entire night against arguably the top defensive line in the state but D-1 schools should definitely get Maurice on their mailing list.
