What difference does it make if he was running someone else's system, he won.

You're crazy if you think Hoover wasn't one of the top programs in the country. They play teams out of state b/c they are so good like I'm sure the teams you're referring to do. I played HS fball with a kid who came from Union HS in Oklahoma which at the time was in the Top 10 in the nation of HS programs (he brought stats and film, etc as proof). This kid was a hell of an athlete and actually won state in track when he came here in the 100. When he went back to Union he was a 3rd string player and that same yr they played Hoover and lost like 40 something to 20 something. Dude Hoover during Propst's time was definately one of the best programs in the country w/o question. Do you honestly think MTV would make a series about some average joe school that wins 10 games a yr but loses in the 1st rd of the playoffs?

Hoover wasn't even the first choice for MTV for that show. They asked Eden Prarie HS in Minnesota but they declined because they didn't want the publicity, good or bad. Seems like that was a smart move in hindsight. Hoover was not a top 10 program in the country, sorry.

TIFWIW but during Propst's tenure, Hoover was repeatedly ranked in the nation's top-25 polls, finishing as the #16 team in the nation in 2003, #4 in the nation in 2004, #8 in the nation in 2005, and ranked #1 entering the 2006 season by Sports Illustrated, USA Today and the National Prep Football Poll. Propst's base salary at Hoover was $100,678. That's pretty dang impressive bro.

Hoover didn't have the great athletes that some more recognizable schools (Mater Dei, St. Thomas Aquinas, Miami Northwestern) and so on either. They won with great coaching.

I think Sapp may become a good player... but it will take a RS year for him to get ready to play LB. I don't think there's any way the kid plays S in the SEC.
