I've seen this kid. This kid is a house.

 

[ChiND]

Svo, I know someone at Mundelein HS...I will see if I can get a scoop on this kid.

 

[jiggafini19]

That pic of him crushing that kid from Stevenson just makes me smile.

I cracked up when I saw it, too. I love how the kids legs are just dangling in mid air.

 

[jiggafini19]

Not to worry.

The kids dad is probably making well over six figures.

Mundelein are the have nots. Stevenson are the haves.

Well, I hope he "haves" a good HMO/PPO plan.

 

[jiggafini19]

They needed one two weeks ago, that's for sure.

 

[ChiND]

Jigga,

Trust me...not all of the Mundelein kids are the paupers you make them out to be!!! There are definitely some silver spoons in those mouths as well.

 

[jiggafini19]

They're few and far between at that school.

Most of them are at Carmel.

Looks good, eh? Semple (right) made it in for the UNC game with one of his teammates.

Nope. But it's the only one that matters, right?

Nope. But it's the only one that matters, right?

true...his myspace page is interesting...he seems really interested in ND, so i'd say it lloks good at this point.

I have received some video from Joe's dad. I'm in the process of converting and encoding into MPEG format and then I will be uploading it to YouTube. I'll post the link when it's uploaded and ready for your viewing pleasure!

It appears as if he gets off the line pretty quickly and has some strength! Could be a good catch.
