2021 QB Recruit - Daron Bryden of Enfield CT

Saw a picture the other day on Twitter. He has gotten a good amount taller. Hopefully this isn't a Marinovich situation where Darin burns out - playing at least at the FCS level seems realistic.

Orlovsky was raised by his father for the big moment. Except the scene was not as developed as it is now.

Sort of a pineapple to avacado comparison.

Ran across this story regarding his dad... Deaf football coach training hundreds in New England

This is really silly and I will tell you exactly why. Ive coached football for 20 years from Pop Warner to NC state championship programs . I ve see kids many times go from peewee running back size to oline size between middle school and high school.It actually became funny in a way because we taught all the kids the basics rather than just a win at all costs type program and the little running backs from pee wee became the lineman in high school. To keep the scores down we would let the lineman run the ball and they still remembered perfect handoff procedure and ball protection..Sorry this got a little self indulgent..

Great. In 6 years, we're going to hear Pal complain that he isn't getting a chance to start.

I would have wanted a fire hydrant to start ahead of Whitmer.

Trying to grow up too fast.

Pretty small for a QB....think this kid is destined for FCS or a position change. I think the parents should also let him be a kid for a bit...

 

[formerlurker]

This again?

 

[Bonehead]

A commitment to a local High School.

Does he not live in Bloomfield currently and his family will move to the Bloomfield school district, if anyone knows??


I am proud to announce my daughter will be attending Pomperaug High School today!

This is ridiculous in the sense that he thinks people care so much that he has to announce where he is going to high school. He is in a world clearly where people have told him that he is so important and so good that he should announce his decisions on social media because everyone is clearly on the edge of their seat waiting to know. I'm rather surprised he didn't have a pick a hat signing day for this. But to your points there are some answers here for why he is choosing. 1) His dad is known to be over the top and may be choosing to move the family to Bloomfield over the summer. 2) He may live on the town line and be one of the kids who gets to choose. or 3) You can send your kid to any public school you choose if you pay the taxpayers fee. (I believe its generally around 10-15 grand a year). or 4) He actually lives in Bloomfield is totally lost in his own ego and is really announcing that he is attending the HS in the town that he lives in, which in this case lord help the kid when he eventually gets a fresh dose of reality. I do doubt though that this is some kind of scandal waiting to happen with a kid that is at a fake address. I think they might have warned him by now not to bring any attention to it.

He's 5-8 and hasn't hit high school yet.

I do know that there was a kid awho grew up around the block from me in Port Chester that went to Greenwich HS and played football there for 4 years. When Albonizio was coach at GHS it wasn't uncommon for Port Chester kids to go to Greenwich HS and pay tuition....and oh yeah play football too.

 

[ZOOCONN]

that kid from Southington that hes friends with and his dad coaches looks like a lot better of a player. not to mention this kid is gonna be running for his life all season, Bloomfield is notorious for having tremendous skill position players but extremely weak line play. i'll be keeping an eye on the hawks this season to see how this pans out.


also as a side note, I don't remember who said no one with that name lives in bloomfield, be more close minded for me will ya? as with most cities/ towns that border major cities there are nice sections and not so nice sections with a mixed population, income, education, ethnicity etc. so next time you have a thought and wanna post it here, let it go.

School districts police residency requirements much more carefully today than they used to. It's possible FDNY's neighbors simply lied about where they were living. That used to be a not infrequent occurrence.

 

[FDNY99]

I doubt he lied about his residency...he drove a car to school that had NY plates...how he was able to go there I have no idea...I do know that Coach Al lives near Port Chester HS (he was the HC at Port Chester before going to Greenwich...and came in 2nd for the PC job after he left Greenwich, only because his plan was to coach a few years and hand it over to the guy who actually ended up with the job) and used to frequent PC youth football. How he got kids to go to Greenwich HS I have no clue....I have been told that there was always a tuition trail.

Greenwich hasn't been that good since the Port Chester kids stopped going there. This 100% happened under Albonizio
