Episode Synopsis

Football 360 — Show Review Air date: Tue, Oct 21, 2025 Hosts: JP Rock & Matt Biermann Where to watch/listen: YouTube & X (video) • Spotify & Apple (audio) Radio replay: Sat 11:00 a.m. — KLIS 590 AM (Lou Info / louinfo.com) Open & Theme JP back from a week on the road → "great to be home, great to be back." Fastest 48 minutes in football: weather, district shakeups, and recruiting reality checks. Big Storylines Mizzou: Squeaks out a double-OT road win — not pretty, but it counts. Weather Weekend: Wind + rain = schedule shuffles (e.g., MICDS–St. Dominic to Monday 3 p.m.). Expect more rain Friday statewide. Regular Season Finale: Final week for Missouri HS; some districts overloaded with contenders—good teams will exit early. Game Recaps & Notes CBC vs. SLUH (Varsity) Result: CBC 37–0. Notes: CBC D-line dominated; SLUH's playmakers (Keenan Harris, Zach Allen) limited. Key breakup by Jaden Reed on an early shot. CBC (JV) vs. Jackson Result: Jackson wins in 2OT. Note: Jackson's lower levels + varsity pipeline look legit. Blue Springs South vs. Blue Springs Result: BSS 35–7. Momentum rolling on the west side. Wind Factor Games Coaching takeaway: Build wind plans (rollouts, crossers, back-shoulder throws). Elite's QBs trained outside Sunday to simulate it. Team/Player Spotlight — Platte County (Class 5) Form: 8–0; recent scores: 70–0, 63–0, 49–7, 69–14; season low is 46. Dudes: QB Rocco Marriott (WV & UCF heat; initial JMU commit), RB Adam Gissler, TEs Brooks Hall & Jack Boots, rising WR. District 8 Gauntlet: Rockhurst, St. Pius X, Fort Osage looming. Schedule strength vs. playoff readiness = must-watch. Coaching Corner — Scheduling Philosophy The winning blend: rest + depth vs true tests. Templates: East St. Louis, CBC, Cardinal Ritter using out-of-state heavyweights to sharpen for November. Recruiting Reality Check (Portal Era) Commitments = starting point, not finish line. Programs/rosters/coaches change fast. Two-Year Rule: Aim to see the field by Year 2 or risk being leapfrogged by a proven portal guy with film. Smart Path: Ball out at G5/FCS → portal → P4 payday. Don't make P4-or-bust mistakes. Anecdotes: Ty Simpson is the exception—stayed through change, now starting. Old-school "visit = decommit" era vs. today's flexibility (Gabe Kuhn story). Three Things We Learned Defense travels: CBC's front can tilt a game early. Weather wins: Programs with windy-weather packages get November edges. Districts decide: Bracket strength may knock out state-final caliber teams in R1–R2. What's Next Regular Season Week Finalé: Seeding clarity + trap-game alerts in rain. District Matchups: West-side heavies vs. surging publics—circle Class 5 & 6. Player Watch: Rocco Marriott's recruiting drumbeat & Platte County's scoring pace. Elite / Community Board BOOM 7v7 Tryout I: Fri, Nov 21 (Tryout II: Wed, Nov 26, day before Thanksgiving). Elite Combine: Second weekend of March — lock it in. Training Note: Freshman QB group (~15) progressing; seniors in for film + throws. Pull Quotes (for clips & captions) "In 2025, recruiting is a business—protect yourself and find the right fit." "If you're not on the field by Year 2, the portal will pass you by." "You can only play who's on your schedule—but dropping 50+ weekly is never easy."
