Looking at this guy's list, does anyone else wonder about why a 'lesser' team would offer him after many of the blue bloods already have? Maybe a phone call or two to guage interest, but making a big deal about giving him an offer, knowing there's a couple dozen schools already offered that would be more prestigious picks? Maybe if a legacy recruit....?

Asa’s father is on Harding’s coaching staff. The more schools that recruit his son, the more opportunities that his teammates will have to also get recruited. Similar to what Coach Ted Ginn Sr. does at Cleveland Glenville. The more attention that their blue chippers get, the more chances that the other Tarblooders will have to get noticed.

As of this moment, eight Harding players have a combined total of 63 offers. With today being June 15, both of those numbers are likely to increase as more ‘28 recruits will start getting the green light.

In fact, when Harding had their College Showcase back on May 6, other schools throughout the Mahoning Valley scheduled their’s around Harding’s because they knew that Asa would help enhance the number of eyes in the area. Austintown Fitch OL Anthony Blalock also aided in that regard. He’s a monster!

FWIW, here’s a pic of a few of Harding’s players at Ohio State’s camp last week.


(l to r) Harding head coach Matt Richardson, ‘28 Asa Burch, Maurice Clarett, ‘27 Zay’vion Smith (Cincinnati verbal), ‘28 Makhai Brogdon, ‘27 Matt Richardson (Central Michigan verbal)

FWIW, Coach Richardson was Clarett’s running backs coach at Harding in the early 2000’s.

The Hurricanes won the Stanley Cup for the second time in franchise history and the first time since 2006, eliminating the Vegas Golden Knights in six games Sunday night.

Carolina Hurricanes captain Jordan Staal won the Conn Smythe Trophy for most valuable player in the Stanley Cup playoffs, becoming the oldest player to win the award at age 37.

This is a season for him elevating his reputation and status too. We’ve seen him get the best out of two transcendent physical talents - can he produce through cycles now?

I’m actually really excited to see what he can do with a platoon of Allegro, Pettijohn, Pierce and Alford.

It's probably an indication of his actual ability. They gave him a shot but at this moment. imo he's clearly not power conference caliber. He might still develop but he's got a long way to go
