HAPPENED TO MEETCHAPMAN QB TYLER PACHECO AT MY LOCAL WATERING HOLE IN ORANGE.
 
WHEN HE FOUND OUT I WAS A LINFIELD GUY HE LET ME KNOW THE PAMTHERS WERE NOT ONLY GOING TO DISPATCH LINFIELD IN MCMINNVILLE THIS SEASON BUT WERE GOING TO DO THE SAME TO HARDIN SIMMONS AT HOME.
YOUNG CONFIDENCE IS A HARDY THING.
I GUESS COACH BOB OWENS TETIRING LAST MAY WON'T BE A FACTOR.

Converting QBs to other positions is quite common.

Just thinking back on this. Josh Herrera (DB), Brenden Barkate (WR), Jared Fink (SS) were all All-SCIAC players at different positions for UR after being recruited as QBs. Jeff Thomas and Danny Ragsdale were HS QBs who became All-Americans at different positions for U of R (Ragsdale obviously moved back to QB for his Jr and Sr seasons and set the world on fire).

Ryan Gocong, who was CMS's all-time leading rusher until Justin Edwards broke his record last year was an option QB in HS. Brad Kertsen was a stud DL for CMS after a very distinguished HS QB career in the state of WA although I'm guessing QB to DL isn't quite as common.

Obviously lots of examples but those were off the top of my head. As someone else said, often in HS you make your best player/best leader/guy who takes it most seriously your QB so it makes sense that those traits can translate into success at other positions.

Finlandia has been closed for a while.
The number of days of practice before depends on when the first day of classes is and is not universally 23 days before.
"Under Maynard" what you describe is what the rules allowed and is basically how all D-III schools operated until the member schools voted in rules that were more appropriate for student-athlete well-being.

So I played D3 around the time that they were starting to make changes. My Frosh and Soph season we were doing 2 and 3-a-days for weeks before the first game. I remember they put some limit on it before my Sr season. Not as limited as it is now but something. I remember feeling like camp was a walk in the park that year. Very different world now.

I played with Ragsdale early in his career at Redlands. Danny Green started at QB for Rags freshman season (1995) and Rino Marconi his sophomore season (1996) when Danny Green got hurt in the season opener. Rags had an injury and missed most of the 1996 season which allowed him get that year back medically.

He moved to WR for the 1997 season and played well (60+ catches) before moving back to QB for the 1998 and 1999 record breaking and Gagliardi trophy winning season.

He's a good dude who I got a long with, but there were quite a few on the team who didn't like him at all due to his ego. I never saw it as a problem, he was just cocky and confident which are traits I want in a QB.

Same. Coach Maynard was diabolical for training camp when I was there. No soft **** allowed as we were pushed to the brink. Back when football was a man's sport.
