Yeah well. The kid is good.
August 20th, 2023 at 11:44 AM ^
He also did that while dealing with cramps the whole game. He rated his performance a “C” after the game
August 20th, 2023 at 4:30 PM ^
I just want to know if he vomited.

First thing I thought after reading the top line was, 'oh shit, we lost another one'
August 20th, 2023 at 12:53 PM ^
Had the exact same thought.
August 20th, 2023 at 2:24 PM ^
Me too! I guess we are just a little jumpy these days in the recruiting world.
August 20th, 2023 at 12:02 PM ^
I haven't found full stats, but Micah Ka'apana had a great game for Bishop Gorman. Best I saw him tallied for was >200 yards and 3 touchdowns.

If Davis finished the game completing 24-28 passes, and Holland reported that Davis was 3-7 passing in the first quarter, then that means he didn’t have an incompletion the last 3/4 of the game?
August 20th, 2023 at 1:11 PM ^
That seems a little unbelievable. Even the biggest hater would have to at least shout out going for 21 straight completions.
This guy who covers NC high school football claims the final stats were 24/35:

Didn't want to start a new thread but noticed Ronnie Bell had a great game last night with the 49ers. 7 catches 114 yards.
August 20th, 2023 at 6:51 PM ^
He's a winner.
I'll always remember him on the side line overcome with emotion after that potential game tying drop pass in the end zone against PSU. The guy cares and you can't help but root for him. It's been fun to watch his rise since then.
August 21st, 2023 at 9:27 AM ^
He’s likely starting the year as the kick returner and a 2nd string WR. The other WRs on the roster are reportedly pretty banged up already, so it’s doubtful that Shanahan is cutting any functioning pass catcher.
The problem he has to overcome is that he’s missed two catches…and both of those misses ended up being interceptions.

Dude is good.
August 20th, 2023 at 2:39 PM ^
He needs to step his game up!!!
August 20th, 2023 at 4:48 PM ^
He agrees!
August 20th, 2023 at 3:15 PM ^
Micah Kaapana also had a huge game. 12 carries for 233 yards and 3 TDs for Bishop Gorman. His stats continue to be almost unbelievable how big of a big play threat he is for a big time program
August 20th, 2023 at 4:53 PM ^
You really have to appreciate Coach Hart's eye for talent...Benjamin Hall last year and now Kaapana, both 3 stars. Trust in Hart.
August 20th, 2023 at 8:38 PM ^
If I remember the Hello write-up correctly, this guy isn’t ranked higher because Bishop Gorman is a very pass-heavy offense that doesn’t run the ball very often, so he doesn’t have the eye popping stats that’d he’d otherwise have if they emphasized the run.
Sounds like he should be a good one here!
August 20th, 2023 at 10:24 PM ^
Didn't he have over like 1,000 yards on like 70 carries or something crazy like that?
August 20th, 2023 at 10:29 PM ^
He was a backup, and Bishop Gorman didn't play a very intensive schedule, so evaluators were forced to judge him based on only a few competitive snaps. He did just about all you could ask in those snaps, but people wanted to see more. Seems like he's off to a good start so far as their opponent from last Friday, Corner Canyon, is highly regarded with several D1 prospects.
August 21st, 2023 at 9:09 AM ^
From his highlights against Corner Canyon, it’s clear he’s insanely dynamic but it didn’t exactly alleviate the concerns I had before. Most of his runs are wide open outside runs or his inside runs are basically uncontested and he just runs past guys. Is he just that dynamic where all his runs look like that? I’d still love to see more between the tackles type runs where he start-stops, reads blocks, break tackles, etc.
August 21st, 2023 at 9:18 AM ^
Your description (which I agree with) sounds a lot like Brian's scout of Michael Shaw from back in the day:
I am not a scout, but in the Shaw video at Scouting Ohio I saw a guy with a knack for catching the flare, good speed, and exactly one move: an upfield cut followed by a bounce-out that got him outside high school defenders with regularity. He's clearly fast, sets up his blocks pretty well, and has that glide cut down -- thus the comparison to Antonio Pittman above. But virtually no Shaw runs were between the tackles. Tough yards after contact were few and far between.

I look forward to seeing him put up similar stats against OSuckU.
August 20th, 2023 at 5:04 PM ^
1359 days since OSU has beaten Michigan in football

There is a very good 20+ minute you tube clip of the Bishop Gorman vs Corner Canyon game. Very high-level HS talent. Kapana is #22-bad white jerseys...can hardly see the numbers.

Ka'apana.
