blount county recruiting office

[hollowman]

For the sake of keeping the pot stirred:  What is so wrong on "recruiting" kids to your program?  I have no idea what the data shows, but my guess is that less than 25% of all kids from all sports from across the state take up the offer to go play at said school.  The factors involved are too numerous to mention, but the most likely would be convenience and finances (as in getting the athlete student to and from their potentially new school) and of course the willingness to leave their clan to join another.  Now, if a coaching staff or those therein, are willing to make accommodations for Johnny or Jenny to get to and from school, what's the harm in that?  Y'all got to remember, that NOT one of these kids is forced to go play at that school, but kids ARE forced to play at their present school, which may be a below average program, because of zoning rules.  Most public HS TN coaches don't break the rules when it comes to recruiting, but there are those that have no problem doing so.  It is what it is.  Let's even the playing field and may the best recruiter with deepest pockets or best selling pitch win.

Of course murvil recruits. We've all seen stars' glamour shots. Does anybody think he's on the payroll for his looks? Everybody else underestimates the power of top garbage service.

I do wonder how many of the good athletes that transfer into Maryville and Alcoa have their tuition fees waived or paid for by wealthy boosters. Who knows? But, it is interesting to think about because that is a question nobody ever asks in these discussions.

I heard that Maryville had already filled up all of their tuition spaces for this year, but made an exception for a good football player who transferred in from WB. I heard that made a lot of people mad too. It was probably just a silly rumor though.

Any parent in that general area would have to consider Maryville for their childrens education.If I'm wrong, correct me.They rank very high pretty much every year as one of the better schools in east Tennessee.Their sports program isn't to bad either.Now in NET,A parent  must think of sending their kids to Greeneville for the same reason.

Nah, I have talked to his parents several times.  Now you're just being silly logging in back and forth between your two accounts.

I hope you're not referencing me. PP runs with Layne's crowd and I am no fan of his. Layne's lackluster defense lost Joel Helton his job and Scott Cummings had to pull his coaching career out of the grave at Knox West. I'm a big Harig and Brown fan when it comes to Knox West. Layne has been working on his license for 20 years he's the little engine that never could.

Are you saying the school district should have the say over a court custody ruling? Every other day and every other weekend is what the court ruled for the boy I was speaking of.  

Coming from a blended family myself, if that is the court ruling I feel bad for the child. Only way custody in that fashion works without placing unwanted stress on a child is if parents live in the same city, in which case recruiting wouldn't be an issue. But, solid point about school districts not having say over court orders.

All the 10 11 and 12 grades were full. The athlete in question is a 9th grader. There were some spots left and no there is no waiver. 

Maybe you should go get some butt hurt rx and sell some mirrors

What is "Bear kountry"?  You do know there are plenty of split families right? Only one parent has to have a Maryville City address. And there are so many other rules that allow kids to go to schools in different cities/counties. IDK if you live in Maryville City and get the same MCS handbook each year as I do, but all of the zoning guidelines/rules and exceptions are in there.  

Momto81 this is  therapy for these morons. Its the same every year they displace their problems onto others instead of buying some mirrors from the guvna and fixing THEIR problems. Their AD is too busy making ringitis commericals for radio then getting to the root of the problem. The greeneyed monster runs wb program.
