I just looked at the schedule. Didn't SS beat Liberty by 1? That's not a struggle? Gave up 83 points to Bolivar? Beat JCM by 17? We beat them by almost 40 with a running clock the whole second half. Starters on the bench. I'm not hating on SS, just stating a few facts.

my point tomcat...was that they both struggled with liberty...SS has depth issues...if u will...theyre bench is better than most...but after the 6th man there is a drop off in production on both ends of the floor...since ive been watching them fuller has been playing different rotations to build depth once they get a 20 point lead or so

 

that being said...ill take SS starting 5 vs anyone...they dont get into foul trouble ever so them being winded is the only issue that could arise

 

also...clock only runs in the 4th quarter here...and liberty barely beat jcm...was losing by 8 or 10 after the 3rd quarter...which is the same margin haywood was up about the same time...see what i did there...i put jcm on the same level has haywood...u can make matchups say anything u want...SS vs Haywood is an elite matchup...say all u want that SS isnt the favorite...they played in the championship game last year...since u kinda brought up last year...thats what theyve proven...

 

and haywoods schedule is impressive no doubt...i have no issues with who they have or have not played...just showin some love for my local

u also appear to be a tarheel fan...so we can deduct some points from ur opinion

 

go blue devils!!!

Oh goodness a blue devil fan...we won't even go there <_<

 

Maybe you're expecting Barford to take South Side all the way by himself like you're hoping Parker will for Duke, but they will only make it so far until they meet a complete team with five good players that will take advantage of those average players just standing out there taking up space on the other team...cough cough Haywood

Im not taking sides because I only seen South Side play.Dont know what the strenghts and weaknesses of Haywood.Strength of South Side is they like to play fast and get a lot of easy transition points.They get the ball out fast after miss shots and made buckets and try to beat you down the court for a layup.They play 7-8.Its hard to press them because of their backcourt of Barford and McNeil. Forrest City Ark tried it and Barford had 36,Mcneil had 30,and Hicks had 25pts and 15 reb.They are really dangerous in a fast pace game.Weaknesses of South Side is to get them in a half court game and make them shoot jumpers.Mcneil is the only threat outside.Barford like to get to the rim or shoot his floater in the lane.Hicks you have to keep from the rim.You have to make him shoot shots away from the rim because when he get the ball in the post he going to try and beat you to the rim.Union City played 1-3-1 and really slowed them down and only got out after Mcneil on jump shots.South Side have 2 post guys 6'7 and a couple of their players have come along since the first game.I still think South Side and Haywood will be in the State.

WOW!!!!!  Some good ole West Tennessee AA basketball talk.  I've been missing that.  Anyway, I'm a Bolivar guy so I don't have to pick a side in the Haywood-Southside debate.  But, I think everyone is making the same point, which I agree with.....................Southside has the better starting 5 and Haywood has the best depth.  It will all shake out over the next 6 weeks.  Should be fun...

Average player?! Beard is better than Hicks or McNeil. He is a very close second behind Barford. He had no choice, but to move to JCM. Some of South Side's players had been talking trash like every teenager does at some point or another and he called them all out for a one on one during the game and shook them up real nice :popcorneater:  I thought it was funny even though South Side still obviously pulled out the win easily.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
