Dominique Blackman is now at .... Harbor?

I would make him a tight end as well. Does anyone think that Sarkisian doesn't know what he is doing? If Sarkisian felt that Blackman couldn't play the position even with the kid's great size and strength and decent speed, then there is something when we read between the lines which most people don't know about Blackman. He's just not a great quarterback and makes allot of bad decisions. I watched him many times in high school and I was not impressed and he had nothing but ruff edges and he was surely a huge project in order to refine him into a QB. Sure he was alright in high school...........but "alright" is all that he was and he was not great at all. There is a new crop of good QB's possibly going over to Harbor this year and I wouldn't right it off as Blackman earning that starting spot just yet because there is six months to prove who should start. Tight end is a much better position for Blackman than QB is because of the decision making process and I dont know if Blackman makes great decisions although Harbor should be happy that he will be on the roster.

Harbor has a good offensive coordinator Burt Peebetty so he may be able to do something with this guy but no one will really know until the pads are strapped on to see if this guy has any heart. He didn't have allot of heart in high school. Maybe he's matured and his ba*lls dropped.

I Don't Know...you state there is a new crop of good QB's possibly going over to Harbor for next Fall's season. Can you provide names. My son is a talented South Bay wide receiver who may consider Harbor. Quality QB's could assist in the decision making process.

It is going to be a great battle for the starting QB position at Harbor this year. Whoever EARNS the job has big shoes to fill in replacing record setting QB Andrew Trudnowski. Blackman is currently battling Elco transfer Kevin Romero for the starting job and we hope to add one of our local studs to the competition. Our PRIMARY local target has a great shot at EARNING the starting position. We LOVE a certain Pioneer League QB!

Looks like Sark didn't want him for whatever reason, either the he didn't think the kid was good enough to play QB there or had some other issues that Sark probably knew of from seeing the kid up close in high school. So goes it. Everyone deserves a second chance to prove themselves. After all, that is what JC football is all about.
It's going to be a great three way QB competition if they land Denker.
Best of luck to all of them! Looks like Harbor is on the rise!

I hear that DJ Dinker could be going over to Harbor and Romero as well. And just like another poster said for one reason or another Sark didn't think that Blackman had it to play QB and I agree with Sark because I have seen the kid play and he is fair at best and a project. If Dinker goes to Harbor, I cannot imagine Dinker not earning the starting role over Blackman and Romero. I have seen all three play and Dinker is a man in comparison to two boys with those guys. I would take Romero 2nd over Blackman. However there may be a few more other QB's who go over there which no one yet knows about and who can play to throw in the mix. The real news over there is that they got rid of that loser coach "Avalar" and they may have a defense finally and they brought in a dynamite defensive back coach (Bobby Hosea) to run that secondary which was their problem last year and with him, some really really good defensive backs will head over there because of him. Burt Peebetty always puts an offense together and it will be no different this year, but what they didn't have over there was anyone who knew anything about defense and now they do. So if they maintain their offensive firepower but finally build a good defensive scheme at the same time, then they can string together some nice victories and Harbor will be a contender this year and some years to come.

Hope the kid can run and run real fast. Harbor's offensive line over the last few years has been dismal at best.

Hey Harbor OC. I'm pretty sure I know the Pioneer League QB to which you're referring....Have any interests in Pioneer League receivers???

Ah..........don't worry about a line. The entire offense is already structured to be run without a good line. The OC knows too well that he had to design his game plan around a different set of rules. Can you imagine what Burt Pillsberry would do if he ever was lucky enough to get a set of good linemen over there?

elcos 4th team oline would be an upgrade over harbors. but harbor will never be elco, so lets not even go there.

I bet ELCO wish they had Harbor's OC though.

Alvillar is a good man. Yes, we are very interested in the El Segundo WR's, our staff spent alot of time at El Segundo's game this year.

I agree with Harbor OC if in fact he really is the Harbor OC in that Alvillar is a good man because he is a good man. He's just not a very good coach.

I wonder if Burt Pillsberry is going to put in the option this year and try this new QB at it? It will be interesting to see.

well gents I must agree that the sark had good reason to request that DAMO play tight end. Although he has a good arm, his accuracy is questionable and his decision making needs major work. I do think he has heart but needed to mature. I anticipate him starting at tight end and earning 2nd string honors at QB

will good post. I agree. Good to have him as a second stringer at QB and keep him at tight end. Hopefully he's not afraid to take a good shot in the ear hole and and likes to catch the ball over the middle without being a baby. I think that he can handle it.

have you guy seen Harbors offense...they rarely use a TE. plus, DB is gonna win the starting job at QB!!! as much as you guys say DAMO needs to mature, that dinker kid needs to mature more and learn to use his arm instead of his feet. i'm sure pillsbury will get them both on the right track and DAMO will win the job because he is a better leader. but yeah, pillsbury has his work cut out for him...DAMO in hs was very inaccurate.

You are right Harbor doesn't use the TE much but they can if they find a good one because Peabutter is smart enough to run various sets. Why not make Blackman a slot receiver? Does he have any speed, maybe below a true 4.7? If so, then if can become a slot guy. Because I have watched Blackman enough to know better, he needs tons of work on his accuracy and a QB just doesn't snap his fingers and accuracy appears but who knows? Plus who really knows how intelligent this Blackman kid is? You have to understand that he did come out of Carson and just because he was a 3.8 GPA student out of Carson translates into a 1.65 GPA at a school like Peninsula High School. Maybe Sark got rid of him because he was a dumbas*s and couldn't remember his plays ever think about this just like the problem the Raiders have with their QB because the Raider's QB isn't intelligent enough to run a sophisticated offense and the same with that guy over on the titans who won the Heisman out of Texas who is a dumbas*s and got benched because his IQ was hovering around room temperature. Bruce Peabutter is a good enough OC where he will make the right decision and yes Peabutter does have his work cut out for him but luckily enough the defense will be better than it was last year so Peabutter doesn't have to worry about losing games when he scores 30 to 35 points like he did last year when his defense lost games after the offense put up over 30 points. What they need to do is get John White over there as well and then they have a great little running back to work with as well and throw to him out of the backfield all game long.....running for 100 yards and catching for 100 yards a game.

Good luck to Coach Burt Peebetty! over at Harbor!

Peabutter is great and I recommend him for President of the world!

In all seriousness Coach Peabody's doing a great job with the QB's he's had at Harbor. I would recommend him to any QB looking at the next level.

Good luck Harbor in 2009!

I 2nd that about Coach Bart Penbutter. Keep on keepin on!

Domingue Blackman would have not come to Harbor unless he was going to start at quarterback, that is a done deal. He was already a proven D-1 player for the Pac 10 so why would he choose to transfer to a JC program if he was not being guaranteed a starting quarterback position. The only reason he came back to the JC level is so he can play quarterback, not lose his eligibility status by sitting out one year on a transfer, and get picked up again by another D-1 school. It happens all of the time. Keith Ellison went to San Diego State, transferred to El Camino JC after his freshman year at San Diego State, got picked up at Oregon State, and now is playing with the Buffalo Bills. Domingue Blackman is making a good move by coming back to the JC level and you will see him get picked up again at a D-1 college after next year as a quarterback. DJ Dinker and others are good quarterbacks but they will have to play behind Mr. Blackman and wait their turn in line.

Are you kidding fb time? There are no guarantees in life expecially at QB. Do you really think Peabody is stupid or something? He's not. Peabody is a winner and he wants to win and he will put the best performing QB to play in the games regardless who transferred from where. When you say that the "deal is done" isn't only dumb it is stupid!!!! Who are you to assume such nonsense? Are you out there watching this guy practice? There is something that doesn't smell right to me about this Blackman transferring from Washington. The first thing which comes to any logical mind is "why"? Why did Sark tell Blackman that he will not be playing QB? You, nor I , nor Peabody or anyone at all really knows what was going on up there on the practice field. Maybe this Blackman isn't getting any better? Maybe the "light" will no go off in his head and that his accuracy is lagging like it was in high school. I watched him in high school did you? I didn't see an all-star out there. In fact that is what I was asking myself after I heard that he had a full ride to Washington and this is "why" because he just wasn't that good. He was fair, but he wasn't any player one would sit back in the stands and say to himself....
damn this kid is really good". Blackman got his full ride based on "projection" not baed on his numbers or on his performance. Don't forget that Blackman wasn't the story to the Carson offense last year. The story was their big, tuff fullback who got a full ride to Boise State. Now that kid deserved a D1 full ride and he was the real deal over and above Blackman. But when you say "the deal is done", then I have to ask you what you have been smoking today? I would take Denker in a second over Blackman is I had my choice based on what I saw from the stands if I was the coach.

Wow!! Easy fellas, Dominique has not been promised anything except for a chance to compete for the starting position - and that I will coach the heck out of him. IF we are fortunate enough to land BJ Denker he will be given the same opportunity - as will Kevin Romero who is already on campus. May the best young man EARN the position!!!!

HarborOC - now this is why so many players respect you and its because you are straight. You know what you are doing. You just said exactly the proper thing to say. That's correct, no one is starting at this point in time. No one starts until game 1. No one can right off Romero either. Romero, just like the other two can play as he already demonstrated on Friday nights. You have Romero, hopefully Denker and Blackman who all can play and they will just have to bring their "A" game to the table and be consistent. This is all a coach can ask for and all a player can do is do his best and keep mistakes down. Let the best man win out. I agree with you HarborOC and you have the right attitude about the whole thing and keep earning that respect you have demanded by letting them play and see who does the best. Further, no one knows but there can be a few names of other kids, QB's, who may sneak on over from somewhere who can also play well and earn that spot. No one knows. But one thing is definite and this is no one knows anything this early on.

Domingue Blackman may have not been offered a starting QB position at Harbor but I am sure it was discussed that he will be the #1 QB listed on their Board coming into the season which means the other QB's will have to show more talent than Domingue. Why would Domingue pick Harbor over another JC ? It is simple, he already has another D-1 school wanting him so the D-1 school wants him to go to Harbor so he can get playing time at QB and transfer to their school. Who knows, maybe they will offer Coach Peabody an assistant coaching position with Domingue. Coach Peabody is ready for a Division 1 program. Do you really think an incoming high school player is ranked over Domingue who is coming out of a D-1 program. Domingue has to practice with Washington last year so his skills are already more advanced than any other high school QB that has not been offered. All coaches will say that the playing field is even until the season starts but they already know who is their #1 QB coming into the season, otherwise, Domingue would not waste his time and look for a JC that he will start as a QB. Domingue will be great publicity for Harbor and it is all about the INK.

I agree with Baloney because your trash talking illogical BS is nothing more than bullc*ap and baloney mr fb time is wishful thinking. Blackman got recruited by the worst D1 program in the country last year, a team which would have lost to most upper level D2 programs and D1 subdivision programs. Blackman didn't transfer to another D1 program for a reason and this is because no one wanted him. He's a lazy a*s with lazy footwork and a lazy arm. He looks like a lobster when he tries to throw with that lazy left arm of his. He should try to use his other arm and he may have better success. Go ahead and tell yourself a lie. You think Blackman is "da bomb" but what Blackman did was bomb alright and got kicked out of quarterbacken. I guess you didn't watch him in high school did you? He was nothing man. He was nothing at all except a big guy with a fair arm at best and couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat let alone hit a receiver over the middle on the run. Keep on lying to yourself. Next you will be telling this board that Blackman is NFL material. I am just waiting for that one. Ba-humbug! I don't care if he got some D1 experience in the spring. He has a bunch of horrible players up there in Washington with piss poor recruiting and this is why they ended up in the cellar along with Ty Willingham their brilliant coach who is the worst coach in Washington's history. Ba-humbug. Go pour yourself another one. Sark came up there and layed the law down and told players who had it and who doesn't and he told Blackman that its time "to start looking for another position because you ain't going to ever be my quarterback up here".

that's right peabody just like sarkisian doesn't do his play calling in ebonics like ty willingham did and this is why Blackman just didn't get it. Its gonna be a tuff road for Blackman now that he has to learn english 101.

Wow, you are very critical of Mr. Blackman. He was ranked #27 in the nation as a QB through Rivals.com and had scholarship offers from Fresno State, Arizona, and Arizona State. Why would Harbor consider Blackman as a QB if he as terrible as you say Mr. Bullc*ap? Oh, by the way, he would have not gone to Washington unless he was qualified academically so do not worry about him passing some JC classes. Washington, a D-1 pac-10 college would have never offered him a scholarship as a QB if they did not think he had the tools to be a QB and was not qualified academically. These other high school quarterbacks that are being mentioned for Harbor are good quarterbacks but they were not considered by D-1 schools at this particular time, otherwise, they would have already been committed. Like I said, I think the #1 QB on the Harbor board is Blackman, he will start and play through the first half. The other QB's will get time in the second half. Mr. Blackman was told by Washington that he has other QB's in front of him so they wanted him to play tight end as they know he is an athlete. Mr. Blackman probably called his other college recruits after the season and they recommended that he play JC ball so he can play and not lose a year of eligibility. Harbor and Peabody are delighted to have him and whether you want to believe it or not, Mr. Blackman is the #1 QB on the Harbor board, end of story.

are you sure fb time that you are not Blackman? Maybe you are board and had nothing to do except blow up your ego. You seem to know what's on the coaches board over at Harbor and you certainly know all about Blackman and his background. I think that you are Blackman. Further, the Washington QB who started and got injured has one year left and then he's gone because he will be a senior so that position is wide open up in Washington after this year so I am not buying that Sarkisian doesn't know what he is doing by removing you from QB and allowing you to try out at TE. What's wrong Blackman, isn't TE fun as well to play?

No, I am not Blackman. Most D-1 scholarship players that leave their scholarship to play at the JC level are pretty confident in their abilities that they will get picked up again at another D-1 college after they play at a JC level. Mr. Blackman does not want to play TE and wants to play QB, that is why he is returning to a JC. I would love to have a D-1 scholarship player if I was a JC coach, especially at QB position, that may win a championship. Blackman has experience at a D-1 level, that is better than any QB out of high school that was not offered. It sounds like you are blowing up your ego against Blackman, Mr. Total Baloney. The other QB's will also play to show case their talents. If Blackman does not produce as a starter in the first 2-3 games, than the other QB's may get their chance to start. That is my last comment.

Dominique checked out several JC's, Elco, Cerritos and West LA, maybe more. No matter which JC he chose he knew that he'd have to compete for the starting position. I think that he was attracted to Harbor for a few reasons, the most important being how much we throw the ball, only Santa Rosa up North threw the ball more than we did last year. I also believe that he loves the weapons we have at Harbor. He has not been promised anything at all, except for what I stated in earlier posts. A D1 ready to pick me up? Man, that would be sweet, but I haven't heard from any school or coach about that. As a matter of fact, I applied for a few D1 jobs this year and didn't even get a call back. For anyone to assume that I/we would start a player just based upon having a name is insane. Those that know me are all about perfomance. The reps will be divided EVENLY all Spring & Summer and probably in fall camp as well unless someone has clearly seperated from the pack. Truly, I do not expect to name a starter until after we complete or fall scrimmages. All that said, some of the comments being said about Dominique are just plain rude and unfair. Our QB's and I have been meeting twice a week, going over the offense, our terms, our system, our schemes. Dominique has been very impressive, he shows up prepare, he has shown to be a good student and hard worker, I have frankly been shocked how quickly he's picking up the system. Kevin is doing a fine job as well. Who ever makes the most plays with the fewest mistakes will EARN the job. PERIOD!!!!

Here here, now you're talking HarborOC, now you're talking and I like it. Lay that law down kido.

Well if Blackman doesn't start do you really think he would stay with his history? Hmm, makes you wonder. I know harbor OC ain't that stupid to believe that Blackman will stay if he dont start. with his frame, they ought to know that if he puts up decent numbers he's getting out because of his size. He is very recruitable. My guess is that Blackman "wins" the starting job, and they greyshirt Dinker (if they get him). Because that would be the best situation for everyone...Blackman starts and gets out, and Dinker gets a year in the system and will be the frontrunner the next season. So what happens to Romero? He better be A LOT better than Blackman. Most likely he will play 2nd fiddle and pull a small ride.

Ok ok ok. Come on Harbor OC, give us the PC answer one more time about them all having to EARN the job. People know what is going to happen. But we all understand you need to get these guys in camp.

good luck guys.

dinker...just take your skills to elco.

Someone is a little jealous of Dinker by telling him to head over to Elco. Its true, Elco doesn't have a good QB this year nor did they last year. Looks like Harbor is getting the QB's now. Harbor's going to be good this year I believe. They are changing that defense and finally the offense will not have to score 50 points in order to win a few games. They should have gotten rid of that old coach two years ago, nice guy without a doubt, but there is an art to being a good coach and he just didn't have it and now Harbor will become a pretty respectable program with a nice new field as well. Its starting to look good over there these days. No more laughing stock and those days are gone and I am happy they were smart and kept Pickleberry as the OC.

actually Laquinton McShizzle Whiteshoes, elco just picked up Phil Sims son from Louisville...he transfered down from there after there was an incident that involed the Sims kid and alcohol...and they have the Ragland kid from venice so that statement about elco having no qbs is false...in my opinion though denker could have a legit shot at competeing for the starting spot at elco..as does he anywhere else

If Kevin Romero comes over to Harbor this coming year...he may be the 'man' at QB. Damo, has heart, good strong arm, but I believe that he has problems reading defenses/coverages...and that was his problem at Carson...but with Coach Burt there, maybe he can really help Damo. But look out for Romero, if you should transfer there.

Barry Bonds statement above is on the money, thanks Barry Bonds for your comment. Just like you said Barry Bonds, OC Harbor knows the game, get as many good QB's at Harbor for the future or case their is an injury, etc. Only one QB is going to start, that will be Mr. Blackman. Just like Barry Bonds said, " Blackman will not stay at Harbor if he does not start", why should he? Like I said before, OC Harbor knows that Blackman will start otherwise Blackman would have went to another JC. Let's hear it OC Harbor, Blackman is the #1 rated QB on your board coming in this upcoming season. You cannot really say that all the QB's have equal abilities and all are currently rated #1 on the board.

You said your son is a talented wide receiver? I he was,he wouldn't be going to Harbor. He would be at El Camino. where all the athletes go.

Who is this Brent Partenbody?

Why hasn't someone snatched him up and given him a job at UCLA, USC, or powerhouse Whitter College.

The South Bay is lucky to have Portinbody living in its zip codes.

The ignorance on this message board is amazing. To say ELCO is not getting good QBs is like saying football is for wimps. Extending drives by not turning the ball over is extremely critical when trying to win a game. Let’s take a look at the regular season statistics from last season. Trudowski may have thrown for more yards but that does not make a better QB than James Coy at El Camino. Coy is much better in completion percentage, TD to INT ratio and passer rating. Based on those three stats I would like to know why people on this board think Trudowski is better. And please leave height and potential out of it.

James Coy - 63.7 completion percentage, 14 TDs 3 INTs 4.67 TDs for every INT thrown, 155.8 passer rating
Andrew Trudnowski - 53.4 completion percentage, 27 TDs-12 INTs threw 2.25 TDs for every INT thrown, 131.5 QB passer rating

Sorry "well well well" as it never ceases to amaze me how Elco always seems to pull a rabbit out of the hat and finds a QB. You are right and I was wrong. If what you say is true, then Elco will be good once again and it looks as if they found themselves a QB. Elco is always on the look out for fu*k ups who drop out of one system and end up over at Elco. They should have an internal prison system over there in which they can recruit more of these type of players and get them back onto their feet kind of the way Hawaii did it with Colt Brennan and some of their other thug flunkies who can play ball.

It never ceases to amaze me how underated this Harbor OC Ben Pisberry is. Here's a guy who takes over a dying program like Harbor and set's world records for offense. Never mind the scores. Look at the stats. The guys got talent with a capital P. If Peaceberry was still coaching at South he would have beat Oaks Christians by 50. Instead we suck. Where have you gone Brent Pedberry a nation turns its lonely eyes to you......whew whew whew.

George not Jorge, you state the facts correct because South had talent stacked on top of talent this year and some on the bench as well.......and they still ended up at 500%. Now what is wrong with this picture over at South once again? um..............................................?

Burnt Potseller does a decent job at calling an offense but he needs to stay off these message boards. It doesn't look good for a coach to respond to these posts. Be bigger and better Potseller.

ECC does have a QB. They are anticipating a kid with a very recognizable last name to enroll soon. Denker would be better off going to LB City, Compton, or Cerritos. He needs playing time. Going to ECC or Harbor would translate to a year or more (counting Grey and Redshirts) of sitting and watching someone else play.

Once again, another poster who thinks that Blackman has it wrapped up before the season even begins. Where does this imagination come from in some of you "anonymous" posters that Blackman has "got game"????? What did you see in high school out of Blackman which suggests he's got game? He didn't do nothing in high school dude. Then he gets removed from QB up in Washington and was told he will not play QB there and all of the sudden people are building up this mysterious mythical hype and unknown reputation for Blackman about a guy who never has shown any game in the past. I hope that Blackman finds some game. I really hope that he does. Denker played 25 times better than Blackman did his senior year of high school and in a better league and Denker proved he has game. But Blackman hasn't proven anything to anybody yet in his entire high school career. Is there a semi-pro league or something out there which no one knows about where Blackman played where he had some game because Blackman has never shown any game in the past, not at Carson and not up in Washington. Now on these boards people can be nice, angry, mean, polite, envious or jealous, creative, boring but the best thing of all is that the people who use these boards tell the truth and the truth isn't always the popular thing to do and sometimes these boards can be pleasant and praiseworthy sometimes not. Personally, I like to be honest and I could give a rat's butt if it makes a kid feel bad or good because the truth is the perfect way to go in life.

"wheres his game"
pioneer league is better than marine league? dude, you're smoking some major ganja. while i don't think blackman is god, he is certainly better than denker. they are both suspect if you ask me. look out for romero to win that job.
from what ive seen in high school, blackman has a huge arm and suspect accuracy, and denker has no arm and isn't accurate. denker is not ready physically to compete at even the jc level. look at how poorly he performed in the lions, he was terrible.

Are you serious anonymous? Lions game, denier had two touchdowns dropped. The last one on 4tho down to win the game. So your comment is ridiculous!

dude man. kids got a peashooter and can't sit in the pocket. he also doesn't have good enough speed to out run linebckers, so basically the kid is worthless unless he learns to anticipate his throws.

Brent Porterbody has long been addicted to message boards. I agree he is a sound offensive cordinator, but shows remarkable immaturity when posting on every board possible (check jcfootball). Look what happened to Pete Carroll when he shared to many thoughts at the Sanchez conference. It has a way of coming back to haunt you. Worst USC recruit class in 10 years.

Leave the posting to Laquiton McShizzle Whiteshoes, George not Jorge, Barry Bonds, and all of us others in the dark.

Unless all of these are actually Peterbody himself. Then Peterbody might actually be smarter then us all.

Man, there are a lot of haters out there. So many of you comment and dispense of your opinions as if they are fact. The truth is it doesnt sound like any of you know anything about any of these Q.B.'s. I wonder if any of you "experts" have even played the game of football on any level. How would you know who has what strength or what weakness. I guess you think if you watch a lot of football your qualified to comment on any aspect of the game. Well I guess that makes me an expert fisherman because I watched all the episodes of Deadliest Catch. You guys are a joke!! I suggest you leave the talent judgement to the people who know like Brett P-Diddy and his possy.

whats up with everyone bashing the Marine League and guys from it!!! The Marine League is the Best in the SouthBay period, when the last time has someone other then Mira Costa has won against a Marine or city team period in the last 10 years? and i dont think that its going to happen anytime soon.. Marine and city teams has won by a big margine against southbay teams!!! But i do agree about the QBs what i think is that Kevin Ramero will be number 1 if he can stay healthy and focus in school, Domo will be 2 and Denker will be 3 thats from the qbs that i know from there... and yes Elco will be Loaded again once again

First off to the the idiot who thinks that the Marine League is stronger than the Pioneer League, what a complete joke. Those days are long gone and the Marine League only has two good teams and the other teams suck. The Marine League use to be the strongest league around, but that all ended like 10 to 15 years ago and it will never come back to the status it once owned as the CIF teams get the coaches and get the QB's which the City has a very difficult time getting. In terms of the order of league strength this year, it went this way, this year: 1) the Pioneer League this year was strongest 2) then the Bay League 3) and then the Ocean League. 4) then the Marine League. Normally its not this way at all as this year was a fluke, but it just the way it turned out this year for some strange reason and next year the Bay League will be the strongest followed by the Pioneer League followed by the Ocean League..............followed by a distant Marine League. Secondly, let Peabody comment anytime he wants. I think its classy and wonderful that a local coach can participate in the sparring and fact covering and straightening out the facts from the fables on these boards. What more can a player and local readers ask for than have a great local coach interjecting? Peter Carrol is a different story as Pete Carrol was visably upset that his QB decided to leave college early to opt for the NFL so this has nothing similar to Peabody commenting on this board. Keep it up Peabody because everyone loves to hear from you on these boards and we wouldn't want it any other way. Lastly for the fool who inferred than Denker can't run around the linebackers is delirious as he got his team the league championship this year and into the CIF playoffs by running around and through the LB's. And whoever said that Denker does not have a strong arm is even more delirious. He can throw the ball 55 to 60 yards from a stand still. And Denker is gaining weight each and every year and growing and growing. His freshman year he was like 4 feet tall and weighed about 70 pounds. He is now around 6'2 and is filling out and he is just fine to play QB in college and he will only get bigger, stronger, heavier and faster. And his arm is much much more accurate than Blackman's arms and Denker is by far a smarter QB than Blackman with his "field smarts" and command of his offense.

What i would like to see is more local games scheduled between the marine schools and the rest of the southbay then we would see who really dominates the southbay, just imagine a headbanger everyfriday night

Message boards can be at times informative and also good fun and then again, they can also be idiotic. The JC board has coaches from most schools (Elco included, plus Mt Sac, COC, Cerritos, LBCC etc) trying to sell their programs and market their players, I wouldn't be at all surprised if a few were now posting on here - I know that West LA is following my posts, one of their coaches told me so. At times, the JC board can get ridiculously ugly, occassionally, I've been sucked into the ugliness. One difference is that I am not afraid to let people know who I am. The only thing that I find lame about message boards is the lack of accountability for comment making - which is the reason I've ID'd myself. Like me or hate me, I'm over worrying about that stuff, most have already made up their mind one way or another.

As for the original topic, there is nothing left for me to say. I'm certainly not going to get into some debate about the different JC's. I respect the heck out of the Elco coaches and their program, there is much to be admired there. This will probably shock some of you, I'm actually going out to dinner with a couple of the Elco coaches soon, they're good people and they're fun, we have a mutual respect for one another. I appreciate the relationship, in my opinion, there is far too much negativity and 'hating' going on in our society today. Frankly, hopefully, one day, we can start winning like they do!

Is a coach that somehow adds a comment on a message board somehow more immature than some other adult posting?? I find that idea odd. Maybe, I should just hide behind some made up name, it's just not my style. This will be my final post on this/these topics. The subject has been warn out and has now drifted. Good night and good luck!! HarborOC out...

Good post Coach Peabody and keep up the great work. I am happy to see that you back yourself up in your posts and I wish most coaches followed your lead. What you write in just about 100% correct every single time so don't be a stranger to these boards and I am glad that you are not a stranger to these boards.

Coach Purtbody I sense this will always be part of your coaching. You seem to carry a inner desire for recognition and arguing with message board tagger's must fill the complex void inside your inner child's heart. Maybe with time and more years under your belt you'll lose the need to exchange with critics in a public manner. Your such a great coach that has done some amazing things at South and now Harbor, you shouldn't waste you time in this venue.

There are those that do and those that don't in the coaching business just review the coaches you know that spend time replying on message boards against those that do not and you will see a huge differences in character.

Marketing your players through this medium is also suspect. If you promote and build a kid up there's always some cracker ready to come in and drop a negative blurb that might be untrue that will end up doing more damage overall in the end. Leave it on the field and in the film room.

Shut up Bo Kimble. What do you know about leaving it "on the field and in the film room"? You never even played football so what do you know about anything at all. Its best that you close your mouth and slowly back away from the computer..........everything is going to be alright.

I know Bo Kimble. Here was a stud. How dare you.

Stud.................your arse. He was no stud but a pud.

Dude, Blackman is the typical kid who has all the potential in the world but he doesnt know how to use it to good use. I think the fact that Sark asked him to switch positions and the kid said no shows you everything about him right there. I mean if he wants to play at Harbor thats fine, but don't act like you know better than Sark. Kevin Romero is way to old to be even playing in Community College football anymore. He was a good QB back in his senior year at Mira Costa but wasn't there mentally. You have to find the right kid for the job of being a QB of college team and that hopefully for Harbor is Denker. The number 1 thing you need for that job is the mental aspect of the game down pat. In high school you can get away with athletic ability but not in college. Thats why QBs at El Segundo always succeed because Steve Shevlin coaches from a mental standpoint. The tree of QBs from Matt Engle to Mike Bundy has been mentally impressive in that passing scheme for years. You can build muscle and techniques but you can't build the demeanor of a kid. The coachable kid in this situation is Denker. I think Denker could go play as a backup somewhere else, but whatever man. He's a good coachable football player who treats the game how it should be treated and realizes that he isn't above the game. Harbor better pray for BJ to make his way over there.

Thank you Anonymous! Finally someone with a sound disposition and some level headed comments. While I dont think Denker is the greatest Q.B. in world, i did have an opportunity to watch a few of his games this season and i definately liked what i saw. I will agree that he appears to have a good head for the game, and his decision making was solid. I could hear the opposing teams moan everytime he had the ball in his hands fearing he would make a play, and most of the time he did. The only thing i would question about this kid is his current lack of size. He has nice hieght, nice speed, and a pretty strong arm. I think his arm will only get better as he puts on some muscle in the months to come. I read some earlier posts, questioning his speed. I'm not sure what they were talking about, because i saw him runing around everyone he needed in order to get off his throws. Also, in the games i saw, he appeared to be able to take off and run at will on the defense. Someone also banged on him for not staying in the pocket. Well, North ran the spread this year, so the idea is for him to drift, and slide as needed in order to stretch out the field. Also, i doubt the pop-warner sized O-line he was working behind could provide much of a pocket anyway. If he is still available, i think he would be a great fit for Harbor, and would have a great chance of taking the field this comming season. Does anyone have any insight as to where he might be going??

As long as Dinkers kans tucks da balls ups and runs din hes da man....he is da dog whos will rules da porch. as long as he can tuck da football up an' run fo' allot o' yards then denker iz da nig. Jus' like Orenthawl James.

So sad Cornrow, i bet you think that was clever and funny. You missed the mark on both accounts. I weap for your future children.

i think all 3 qbs have great potential. i trust peabody to make the best decision. i have seen all three play and there is no doubt they all three can start at alot of junior colleges. i dont know what anonymous is talking about romero being to old the kid is only 20 years old and had some personal stuff going on and surgery forced him to sit out a year. and whatever the reason blackman left washington it doesnt matter he can still play football damn good not anyone can take a team to the city championship.

Romero iz also uh pimp-tight quarterback. QB'sat BYU play when dey iz 25 years old an' age don' mean anyfin' bad. Romero iz still young an' pimp-tight. He can also start at QB. Don't make me come ovah there bi*ch...

5 days have passed and no post from Coach Peacebody?

Peesbodies is pimp tight. Whys u's bangin' on da manz who puts 400 yards on the field every Saturday nites? Whose else do's dis my be-otch? Da manz scores 45 points and tis possey stills cantz wins for da offensive wizard of the oz. Lukely der iz helps on da way and some real bad azz boyz showin up to kick some azz on d-fenze for dis teams diz years....... Dem boyz are takin de league dis years for sure. Count it as done!!!!!

I don't know how we got on ElCo but it is fact that they choose and recruit Nationals over locals. There is no better place for local talent than Harbor. The current staff at El Camino only believes in winning, winning at all costs. Good luck to any local athlete that goes to Warrior Land.

The truth is that Elco's skill guys are not any more talented man for man than Harbor's guys generally speaking........maybe a little better, but not much. Its the linemen which Elco gets which are better as they come over there in numbers, but the skill guys are about the same.

Man I think you guys are very funny, but i used your words as fuel for my competitve engine! I really wanna clear up my Washington situation, when Sark recruited me in High School he offered me to play T.E beause I was a pretty good volleyball player, as well as a basketball player.. so my tag for recruiting was an athlete. I decied to come back to Cali and play for either Cerritos or Harbor and I chose Harbor. People please try to find something else to talk about, because if I kill the JC scout combine like i did all the combines in H.S, I wont even play JC! Nevada,Ore. St., Texas, are all going to be there and are keeping in contact with me. But, I will give it up to my competition Kev, and Danker (who i never seen but heard he is legit) so i guess the best man wins... thanks god bless

who do you think you are kidding ? if you were div 1 material guess what? you would be there ! also if a coach like sark recuits you for a tightend guess what ? your no quarterback . if you were committed you would not be 300 lbs,you would be in shape and let your play speak for you . not your mouth , otherwise you would be at washington now!!!! do you have any idea ? how many young man out there, that would die for that opportunity ? believe me somethings wrong, and there are other reasons why your not there. all talk no action, no talent .

i wonder if u read what u say because if i was all talk i wuldnt have been the best qb in my area let alone one of the top in country so it was nothing to do with play...and u say im out of shape and im 300 pds well lets see we ran 40's and did vertical jumps and shuttles and maxes and i ran 4.82 in the fourty 4.41 in shuttle and vertical was 38inches and did well in all my maxes so please get ur facts straight cuz it aint my play ive never had a problem with that its juss my size when your 270 and black trying to play qb u have to go 12 times harder and i was only going 10 but ill tell u 1 thing im at harbor everyday grinding my ass off u got doubts and believe what u say well why dont u come see for yourself then youll know the real dominique blackman.. point blank

god bless
d.blackman

uhhh blackman had 414yds, 4 tds and a rushing td. this was only his first game at harbor.

Dominique, its strange how you speak about yourself as a third person and then sign off as Domo. 1st Long Beach was a HANDICAP team. Don't feel good about beating up on a handicap kid.
