    Bulldogshavebite, that is an excellent observation, because what some of these Knuckleheads have to understand is that gaining a scholarship is Nation wide in terms of both academic as well as athletic, But I know that this fog of jealously follows great teams and great athletes. Good Luck Mason. Ps…. Kennedy was a hell of a player back in his day.

    I would say any kid who gets offers out of a Mid-Valley Division school should be viewed as the opposite of overrated. They have to work that much harder to prove themselves in camps and combines and on the field to overcome the bias placed against them for being in such a low division. Good work on the field and in the classroom Mason!

    Bryant isnt over rated, nor is any kid that plays for Monrovia, all they do over there is WIN!!!! As for Bryant, The Kid has the grades to play ball at all those D1 schools, “thats awesome”! He works he’s A** off in the class room and on the field, thats why he has those offers… For all those Hatters, tell your kids to hit the class room……

    Yo Lover of M-Town,
    Man you obviously don’t know the game of football! Your perception of what a good WR or football player looks like is comical! So while our Studs, Mason, Brett, Anthony, Blake, G5 and Isaac clean up on D1 offers and Jewlery, you’ll be cleaning up your Jelouse tears and using them as lubricant because nothing your ignorant water head a** can do or write to change the minds of true football fans! Now go and run along, you are going to be late to your idiot convention.
    “You Don’t Want No Green And White ” You no name, mystery school looser!

    Wow, the level of your stupidity is comical, tell me another receiver in the Mid Valley that even comes close. Your assertions are laughable and who are the other receivers you claim to have seen at the SGV that were equal to or better.

    Do yourself a favor Pass the pipe, Stop Drinking, Make an appointment with your eye doctor turn off the Wizard of Oz and have some courage to put your name on your blog because your not in LALA land anymore. And if Mason Bryant is overrated what does that say about the guys your supposed to be supporting. I have never heard of one them and from where we sit neither Has Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Air Force, West Point and Ohio. So the 6 or 7 receivers you saw at the SGV shootout must be so great that they have blinded every recruiter in Div 1 cuz they cant seem to find or see them either. Get a clue clown.

    If he is so overrated then why is he getting so many offers? So you’re telling me you know more than the recruiters that have seen hundreds of kids? Not overrated at all…great player!

    I agree with you guys. He is a GREAT kicker average receiver and safety. Average player on a good team. Of course he is going to stand out. Very small to play at the next level.

    I cant see how this guy has any offers, I saw him in the SGV tournament at Arroyo Highschool and there were at least 6 or 7 receivers that I would say are equal to or better than him. Not hating on the guy its just my opinion. Im sure his dad will continue to be a loud mouth, that guy is all over the blog trying to pump publicity for his kid.

    I Agree… I think he’s way over rated, the team is great! The line blocks and gives the QB enough time to throw, any good receiver will be looked at by a D1 School, especially if your team is winning… But I can count at least 5 receivers better than him… In the Mid Valley…
