VYPE
New school Klein Cain is in its embryotic stages, but coach Clancy has a sophomore class that is loaded.
Originally Appeared on VYPE
Having an ear to the ground as it relates to Houston football recruiting, you hear things early.
"Have you heard about this kid dominating the Klein Little Leagues?" which turns in to "You have to see this kid… in the seventh grade."
I've heard it for nearly two decades working for Rivals.com and finding VYPE a decade ago. Street legends of kids dominating the pre-varsity landscape. Most fizzle out, but the name Jaydon Blue continues to trend.
The 5-foot-11, 190-pound sophomore RB has all the tools to be an elite recruit under the direction of coach James Clancy at Klein Cain.
Klein Cain?
New school Klein Cain is in its embryotic stages, but coach Clancy has a sophomore class that is loaded that includes Blue, WR Matthew Golden, QB Carson Roper and DT Lukia Rawls. Golden is a can't-miss DI inside WR, who will start receiving offers in before the end of the season. Roper is going to grow into the position and has huge upside, while Rawls is a run-stopping tackle.

Hunter Goodman hit a two-run homer and Mickey Moniak drove in three runs as the Colorado Rockies snapped a four-game skid with a 6-1 win over the Houston Astros on Tuesday night.
Tanner Gordon (5-5) allowed six hits and run in six innings to earn his third straight win.
The Rockies took the lead in the third on a costly error. The Astros were up by 1 when Kyle Karros singled with one out in the inning. Ryan Ritter then reached and Karros moved to third on an error by Jeremy Peña that kept Houston from turning a double play.
The Rockies took advantage of the miscue when Ritter scored on a groundout by Tyler Freeman to tie it 1-all. Moniak followed with an RBI single to put the Rockies on top.
Goodman then hit his 26th home run to left-center to make it 4-1.
Colorado had runners on second and third with one out in the fifth when Moniak’s double off the wall in left-center extended the lead to 6-1.
Houston starter Hunter Brown (10-6) allowed six hits and six runs, two earned, in 6 2/3 innings.
Slugger Yordan Alvarez went 0 for 2 with two walks in his return after sitting out since May 3 with a fractured right hand. His return didn’t give the offense an immediate boost, with the Astros going 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position.
Jesús Sánchez gave Houston a 1-0 lead with his home run to the seats behind the bullpen with no outs in the second. The Astros loaded the bases with two outs in that inning, but Jose Altuve lined out to end the threat.
