DeSmet Jesuit vs CBC — Instant Analysis (10/10/20)

Anytime this two behemoths face off, the game always has extra meaning. Especially to the players on the field. This matchup, which was DeSmet's first game of 2020, is loaded with D-1 talent, on both sides of the football and on both teams. The best WR in the state, senior Chevalier Brenson, made one of the sweetest catches in the back of the end zone for a score. Showing separation, speed and body control, the Illinois commit high pointed the football with one hand and made a circus catch. That being said, DeSmet lined up junior defensive back <img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-59739" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/10/20201010_144658-rotated-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> [player_tooltip player_id="37567" first="Jordan" last="Coleman"] over Brenson most of the game and Coleman more than held his own. Coleman used his length, strength and smarts to cover Brenson in tight one vs one situations. That is why I give the MVP of the game to Coleman. Showing the ability to play cornerback versus the best in the state will garner Coleman multiple offers as soon as college coaches check out the tape.

Flowing sideline to sideline, Whitfield was a force versus the powerful CBC run game. CBC has a keeper in freshman OT Bryce Parson. The big man eats up smaller pass rushers and blots out defenders in the run game. With improved technique that comes with experience, look for Parson to be an elite prospect for years to come. <img class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-59741" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/10/83158-150x150.jpeg" alt="" width="150" height="150" />I was impressed with the toughness and tenacity of CBC senior OT [player_tooltip player_id="37323" first="Sam" last="Webert"]. The senior can play both ways due to his quick feet. All he lacks is weight. He is plenty tall at 6’4, has good arm length and lockout, he just needs to add 80 lbs. of muscle and meat. A college coach that knows how to evaluate will sign Webert, redshirt him and force him to eat 8 meals a day. By year three of college, he would be a starter. DeSmet Jesuit DT [caption id="attachment_40472" align="alignright" width="150"]<img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-40472" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/08/Wingo-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /> Photo: Jason Schoenig <a href="https://dirtandturfphoto.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Dirt and Turf Photos</a>[/caption] [player_tooltip player_id="37157" first="Mekhi" last="Wingo"] is a problem for offensive linemen. He is so explosive off the football, if a team doesn’t double team him off the snap, the Mizzou commit will be in the back field wrecking shop. What a fun player to watch! DeSmet junior Bryson Rolle was impressive in his first career start at center. Rolle has extremely long arms and a condor like wingspan to hold defenders at bay. His snaps were on point and using quick feet after the snap, was able to hold the point of attack versus a powerful and experienced CBC defensive line. Rolle is one to watch as the season unfolds.  <img class="alignright size-full wp-image-59740" src="https://prephoops-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com/redzone/uploads/2020/10/20201010_144207-rotated-e1602364953708.jpg" alt="" width="6" height="3" />
