Class of 2021 OT Enrique A. Cruz Jr (IL) Offered

[orangefog]

He knows nothing. This kid's offer list has been blowing up in the last month, plus PSU & USC are starting to show interest.

We were so, so close. Probably were in the lead at one point too.

Dasher?

Dasher?

I have been telling you guys for years. now you know. Bnoro ruins everything...A lot of people are saying that this kid was ready to commit and Bnoro talked him out of it. At least, that is what I heard.

Sometimes not even bagmen like TexanMark and Dasher can overpower bnoro’s negativity (being rational)

Yes. He's like that.

Villa Park and Glen Ellyn are basically 10 mins apart from each other but could not be anymore different in terms of towns. VP is definitely more blue collar and GE is a posh burb. Cruz and Hoeh would make quite the Chicago burb OL connection from different sides of the tracks.

Hoeh's a great get if he helps SU establish a pipeline to Glenbard West, which has long been a powerhouse among suburban public schools even though it's not one of the bigger ones in its own conference (GW is classifed as 7A; much of the conference is 8A). GW's best player last year is playing at Northwestern; a kid from the current team is committed to Iowa.

Hoeh's the second kid in this recruiting class from a west suburban power -- Landon Morris had been at perennial state 6A power Nazareth, but decided to play his senior year back home in the Indy suburbs, apparently because of COVID converns.

Glen Ellyn is a nice upper-middle-class 'burb. GW's campus is pretty sweet -- a lake, a football field that was in some other '80s movie (Lucas?). Villa Park (formerly the longtime U.S. home of Ovaltine) is middle class, and starting to see some of the tear-downs that have helped change the demographics in other west suburban towns like Downers and Clarendon Hills and LaGrange.

If you want "couldn't be anymore different," though, you can do better elsewhere in the West Suburban Conference, with Maywood (essentially an extention of Chicago's west side) vs. Hinsdale (median home value of $900K; popular landing spot for former Chicago pro athletes because of the quality, and quantity, of wine shops).

Don’t Clarendon Hills kids got to Hinsdale? What about the Catholic schools like St. Viator and Mt. Carmel?
