    Doubt it, that's pretty impressive. I think McKinley has a pretty similar list. Warren could probably come fairly close.
  • chiefy jones
    Geezy weezy, nobody wants to chime in and compare their schools NFL'ers to Massillons? Isadork? stuperman? Earnest T Bass? Anyone?
  • chiefy jones
    This list is why we have 26 State and 9 National Championships folks....
  • thavoice
    And still not a championship on the field. So disappointing
  • chiefy jones
    Geezy weezy, where did they play the games then?

    Care to chime in on the NFL'ers from your school?

    I have a spare 3 seconds to read it.
  • skank

    all that matters is championships on the field and my team has six all pretty recently.

    6 real titles trumps whatever you can throw out there with all home grown talent thst lived writhin mere 5 or so miles from the school. Get bsck to me when Massillon gets their first.....and the baseball team can hold its own as well...
  • chiefy jones
    So....No?

    Lol, didn't think so.
  • chiefy jones
    It's sad that nobody is smart enough to know who the NFL'ers from their school are.

    recently had one who was on the roster of 3 diff nil teams but I still prefer real state titles. Get bsck to me when mass finally gets one

    I was talking to a guy from Canton CC, I mentioned Alan Page being a CCC grad. He had no idea that AP was from
    there.
  • chiefy jones
    Then I'll leave it open, maybe some of our enthusiastic but slower posters are doing their research.
  • skank
    Yeah but that could take years.
  • chiefy jones
    People either already know, or have finished their research, either way....It's obvious that the results have embarrassed them enough that they don't want to put it out there in public.
  • chiefy jones
    Anything yet?

    Anyone?

    Wapak has had only Mike Hammerstein

    This is a terribly sad thread. Chiefy, your list is impressive in length, no doubt about it. But as Massilon fan, you have to be depressed for the fact that most all of that success is more than 40 years old. Had they retired the football program back then, you'd have a cool thing to throw out there. But the fact is they have been fielding teams with far, far less success in the decades since.
  • chiefy jones
    #1) ok, then we have 7 guys who have "made it" inside of 40 years. Still better than most.

    #2) "far far less success in the decades since." True....But the bar was set higher than any other school had set it. What school HAS surpassed what Massillon has set?

    In the, "decades since", Massillon has had more success than most schools.

    #3) where's YOUR list?

    This thread is about individual success, not team success. Our combine has helped us to bring in great individuals. I expect two of our recent recruits to make it big in the NFL. The lineman that we brought in from Cincinnati is considered one of top freshman in the country. The QB that we brought in from Perry looks great. Both of them should be stars in the NFL.

    I can't argue any of that Weird Al. Could you imagine a QB in Perry's system making the NFL? Great decision by the Massillon to bring him ov....ER....I mean, great decision by the kid and his family to make the move. The Munford decision benefitted all, at LaSalle where nobody was willing to help the kid, he was stagnant....At Massillon he thrived, brought his grades up and got Urbans attention. Had he stayed at LaSalle where nobody gave a ship about him, who knows?

    This just proves that kids WANT to play at Massillon.
  • chiefy jones
    What the hell is this? Read the intro again. Many did not attend or graduate from IMG but trained there. So this list is about as impressive as a parochial schools state championships....Not very.

    Terribly sad? Gimme a break. Success is success, there is no expiration date on success.

    Geez people wake up.

    Devin Jordan is a great example, who believes he gets a full ride scholarship the THE Ohio State University had he stayed at Perry? With Wakefield throwing the ball like 4-7 times a game?
