BY "LANDSCAPE CHANGE" I MEAN WINNING ATTITUDE. FOOTBALL, BASEBALL, WRESTLING, GIRLS BASKETBALL ETC. THE BLACKMAN PROGRAM IS ON THE RISE. THERE'S NO REASON BOYS BASKETBALL SHOULDN'T BE ON THE UPSWING AS WELL. THIS GROUP OF KIDS ARE WINNERS. AS TO YOUR LAST SENTENCE.. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE. TRUST ME, HIS CHARACTER AS A MAN IS NOT IN QUESTION.

I THINK TURNHAM HAS LOST THIS TEAM ALREADY. THE KIDS ARE TOO SCARED TO SHOOT, DEFEND OR DO WHAT IT TAKES TO WIN. ALL THEY DO IS WAIT TO GET YANKED OUT THE GAME. THEY HONESTLY HAVE ABOUT 20-30 SUBS A GAME. NO 5 PLAYER GROUPING HAS BEEN ON THE FLOOR TOGETHER FOR LONGER THAN 3-4 MINUTES. NOT EVEN THE STARTING FIVE. TAY SMITH HAD A GREAT FIRST HALF TONIGHT AND BARELY SAW THE COURT IN THE SECOND HALF. JD WHITE WAS SCARED TO SHOOT THE BALL ALL NIGHT AND KEPT LOOKING AT TURNHAM AS THEY ALL DO. THE GUARDS PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE BENCH THAN THE COURT AND MISS WIDE OPEN CUTTERS. THIS GAME IS NOT THAT HARD. I'LL SAY THIS, BLACKMAN HAS THE TALENT TO COMPETE FOR THE DISTRICT. BUT AS TIGHT, SCARED AND CONFUSED AS THIS SQUAD IS NOW.. I DON'T SEE THEM BEATING ANYBODY. SHAMEFUL. First of all you make great points. I've thought this for the longest time. There's nothing wrong with yanking someone for a selfish play or just something absolutely stupid...but he yanks someone with the smallest of mistakes. And also, there's nothing wrong with getting on a kid and yelling at him, just don't do it in front of 500 people making it obvious toward that kid. It's humiliating. Yell at the kid in the huddle, or get in his face and be harsh. But he could yell in less humiliating ways. Second of all, do you know how to take the caps lock off? SORRY, I LIKE THE STYLE. BUT I HAVE ADDED A SIGNATURE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT.

i'm surprised too about this game but when i looked in the box score, i noticed that Siegal's best player did not play, that Hammonds kid going to MTSU. I saw him play Independence and i know for a fact he would have been a difference maker in that game BROKE FOOT .. 3-5 WEEKS ON THE DL.

I AGREE. SPOT ON JJ.

I'VE KNOWN JRG AND HIS DAD BUTCH FOR TWO YEARS NOW. HE HAS SHOWN OUT ON EVERY LEVEL INCLUDING AAU. AT THE BOB GIBBONS TOURNAMENT OF CHAMPIONS (ARGUABLY THE BEST SUMMER TOURNEY) HE AVG 19.0 A GAME. http://classof2012basketball.blogspot.com/ THEN HE WENT TO REEBOK BREAKOUT CAMP... WHAT DID HE DO? http://www.ballercircuit.com/?p=917 HE ALSO GOT DOWN AT PANGOS AND FUTURE 150 NATIONAL CAMPS.. http://www.allmetrosports.com/index.php ... &Itemid=86 ALSO GOT TOP 20 AT FUTURE 150 NATIONAL CAMP. SO YEAH.. HE CAN HOOP ON ANY LEVEL. JOIN THE MOVEMENT NOW!

RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE ARMY IS HOT FOR MURPHY. ALSO UNION HAS EXTENDED AN OFFER. I THINK HE'S GONNA PUT IN WORK THIS FALL AND HOLD OUT FOR WICHITA STATE, XAVIER OR MOREHEAD. ALSO IT LOOKS LIKE NORTH TEXAS AND CREIGHTON LIKE HIM. HOPEFULLY SOMEBODY IS HELPING HIM OUT.

LET ME CHECK.. I'LL GET BACK WITH YOU.

NO HE'S 100% JACKSON, TN!!! HE PLAYED AAU IN MEMPHIS CAUSE HE AIN'T SCARED!!! HE GETS IT DONE PERIOD. BUT THE BEST THING ABOUT HIM IS HE WORKS HARD. TOTAL GYMRAT. HE HAS GOT GREAT SUPPORT FROM HIS ENTIRE FAMILY. HE AND HIS DADDY HIT THE ROAD IN THE SUMMER AND PUT IN WORK. HE IS A HIGH MAJOR KID WHO CAN SCORE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. HE WILL PROBABLY BE A BIG TWO AT THE NEXT LEVEL. PLAYS THE 4/5 AT USJ.

YOUR LATE YANKEE. I STARTED THE JOHN ROSS GLOVER FAN CLUB LAST YEAR. JRG IS THE TRUTH!!! YOUR NOT WRONG.. HE WILL BE TOP 100 IN THE NATION!

BUT AS TIGHT, SCARED AND CONFUSED AS THIS SQUAD IS NOW.. I DON'T SEE THEM BEATING ANYBODY. SHAMEFUL. What's new? Jerking kids in and out of games without ever allowing a flow is the same reputation Turnham has always had. He reads these posts, so if he's reading, hopefully he'll react. He has more than enough talent to compete this year, but we'll just have to see. Wonder how much longer the Blackman folks will put up with Turnham losing in BB?, especially since they've got the football headed in the right direction. Maybe he doesn't have to have heart trouble to get axed like Wells, not wished on he or Wells, or Strickland dump his boy like a ton of bricks. Doubt the latter, but he'll be working some angle. I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD GET CANNED. HE SHOULD JUST SETTLE ON A LINE UP AND RUN WITH IT. I THINK THE LANDSCAPE AT BLACKMAN HAS CHANGED (FOR THE BETTER) AND HE HASN'T COME ALONG WITH IT YET. I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE EATING TURNHAM UP ON THIS SITE FOR YEARS AND THOUGHT IT WAS UNFAIR TO HIM. HIS TALENT WAS ALWAYS LACKING AND COULD NEVER TEST WELL AGAINST THE DISTRICT. THOSE DAYS ARE OVER. TURNHAM, IN MY OPINION AND EXPERIENCE, CAN COACH. HIS PROBLEM IS OVER COACHING. WHICH A LOT OF COACHES DO. IT'S A FORM OF O.C.D . THEY TRY TO FIX EVERY LITTLE THING DURING THE GAME. BUT MORE OFTEN THAN NOT, LESS IS MORE. LET'S GO!

I KNOW YOUR JUST BEING NICE TO BOROBALLER, BUT TO SAY THAT SIEGEL HAS THE TOUGHEST SCHEDULE IN TENNESSEE OR POSSIBLY THE WHOLE U.S. IS TOO MUCH. SIEGEL IS A NICE LOCAL TEAM. THEY ARE BASICALLY PLAYING BEARDEN'S SCHEDULE FROM LAST YEAR. THEY PLAYED LIBERTY TECH, A COUPLE OF WEAKER MEMPHIS TEAMS AND WILL GO TO ARBY'S CLASSIC. THROW IN HAWAII (COMP ?) AND OAK HILL AND IT SOUNDS LIKE BEARDEN 08'-09' TO ME. IF YOUR NOT IN THE MEMPHIS AAA CONFERENCE (WHITE STATION, MELROSE BOTH NATIONALLY RANKED) AND RIDGEWAY.. HOW COULD YOU HAVE THE BEST SCHEDULE IN TENNESSEE? AS OF RIGHT NOW, SIEGEL HAS ONE RANKED TEAM ON IT'S SCHEDULE.. OAK HILL. SIEGEL MIGHT WIN THE REGION AND THAT'S GOOD FOR THAT TEAM.

TURNHAM IS OLD SCHOOL. I DON'T THINK HE WORRIES TOO MUCH ABOUT THESE EARLY GAMES. SEEMS TO ME HE IS LOOKING FOR HIS ROTATION AND CHARTING PLAYER TRENDS. THE KIDS DO SEEM TIGHT. THEY SEEM MORE WORRIED ABOUT MAKING MISTAKES (AND THE COACH TAKING THEM OUT), THEN COMPETING FOR THE WIN. IF THEY LEARN TO GO HARD AND STOP WORRYING.. THERE'S NO REASON THIS TEAM SHOULDN'T WIN MORE GAMES THAN IT LOSES.

WHO SAID THEY "NEEDED" TO MOVE TO OLIVE BRANCH??? YOU GUYS ARE ASSUMING THAT.. NOW YOU WANT BIG BOBBY TO EXPLAIN IT? THIS IS AKIN TO WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT TIGER WOODS. "WHERE WAS TIGER GOING AT 2:15AM"? GROWN PEOPLE, DO GROWN STUFF, THAT GROWN UP'S NEED NOT EXPLAIN. MAYBE YOU SHOULD LOOK AT YOUR OWN QUESTIONS. THE FACT THAT THEY WENT TO OB SHOULD TELL YOU THAT MELROSE WASN'T IN PLAY AT FIRST. WHICH IT WASN'T.. AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN LEGALLY. IS IT POSSIBLE... "POSSIBLE" .. (FREE YOUR MIND)... THAT THE PARKS FAMILY HAD TO MOVE TO OB? AND IS IT POSSIBLE THAT BOBBY JR. WOULD RATHER BE AT RIDGEWAY THAN MELROSE? ONE GUY STATED EARLIER THAT BOBBY DOES "EVERYTHING" FOR BASKETBALL. WHICH IMPLIES YOU KNOW THE PARKS FAMILY. SO IF YOU KNOW THE PARKS FAMILY, DO YOU THINK IT IS POSSIBLE THAT BOBBY WOULD RATHER PLAY WITH A GREAT POST AT RIDGEWAY? RATHER THAN PLAY WITH A GUARD WHO SHOOTS 50 TIMES A GAME AT MELROSE. IF YOU "KNOW" THE PARKS, YOU SHOULD HAVE FIGURED OUT BY NOW THAT THIS MOVE HAD TO BE MADE. BOBBY JR. IS BASICALLY THE SIXTH MAN AT MELROSE. SIXTH MAN? MR. BASKETBALL 2009? TOP 150 PLAYER IN THE NATION? YOU GUYS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. RESEARCH YOUR TOPIC FIRST.. OR MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE. OH YEAH, DID ANYBODY EVEN PULL UP THE ROSTER AT OLIVE BRANCH???? THAT TEAM MAYBE BETTER THAN MELROSE. I know enough to know that your post on page 1 of this thread suggested that his eligibility was based on his move out of state and back in.......then your next post put you smack dab in the middle of the financial hardship argument......then you started yelling at people in call CAPS and I quit reading. Pick a side YELLING? GROW UP. MY POST ON PAGE ONE DOESN'T SUGGEST ANYTHING. IT "STATES" THAT HE MOVED THAN MOVED BACK LEGALLY. WITHOUT ANY SUGGESTION. TO YOUR FINANCIAL HARDSHIP ARGUMENT.. AS IT HAS ALREADY BEEN STATED, HE DIDN'T NEED A REASON TO GO FROM PRIVATE TO PUBLIC (AS STATED IN THE TSSAA BYLAWS). IF YOU WERE AS SENSITIVE TO HIS FAMILY SITUATION, AS YOU ARE TO ME TYPING IN "ALL CAPS", (WHICH IS A STYLE THAT APPEARANCE APPEALS TO ME; BUT I'LL CHANGE BECAUSE I DIDN'T REALISE IT HURT GROWN FOLKS "FEELINGS") WE WOULDN'T BE TALKING OR "YELLING" RIGHT NOW. SORRY.

Boro point taken, but where are these numbers coming from? The CoachT schedule/results are not accurate, but your numbers don't even reflect the CoachT data. Did you just make these up to support your argument? Siegel has a good team, you and starfan don't have to continually bash everyone else or fabricate stats to validate that. A little research this morning resulted in the following: (please correct if there is anything wrong) Riverdale's opponents' combined record: 8-20 (May be missing 1 of Warren Co's games) Columbia 1-2 Hickman Co 1-3 Dickson Co 1-4 Hillsboro 1-0 Warren Co 1-3 Lebanon 2-3 Lincoln Co 1-5 Oakland's opponents' combined record: 8-10 (May be missing 1 of Warren Co's games) Warren Co 1-3 Franklin Co 2-4 Gallatin 1-1 Independence 4-2 Siegel's opponents' combined record: 9-8 (Can't find any info on Hillcrest other then 1 loss to Siegel, are they the team with 4 losses?) Liberty Tech 3-2 Independence 4-2 Trezevant 2-3 Hillcrest 0-1 ? GREAT GREAT POST! THE ONLY TEAM SIEGEL HAS PLAYED OF NOTE IS LIBERTY. WHICH I BELIEVE SOME PEOPLE AREN'T COUNTING AS A LOSS. AND I BELIEVE SOMEONE ON THIS THREAD STATED THAT WINS OVER TREZVANT AND HILLCREST WERE "QUALITY" WINS. I GUESS BECAUSE THEY ARE MEMPHIS SCHOOLS. TRUTH IS THEY ARE BOTH TERRIBLE.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY RULED ON HIM. GOOD JOB COACH.

PARKS DID GET THOROUGHLY INTERROGATED, INVESTIGATED, ETC. HIS MOVE WAS LEGIT. HIS FAMILY MOVED TO MISSISSIPPI (OLIVE BRANCH) THEN MOVED BACK TO TENNESSEE (MELROSE). ALL DOCUMENTED. ALL LEGAL.

CONGRATS TO ART MCMILLAN (HILLSBORO) AND THE CLASS OF 2010. ART WILL MOVE HIS GAME TO MOREHEAD STATE (OVC) NEXT YEAR. CONGRATS TO BIG ART AND COACH THWEET! HE AND ROB WADE (MAPLEWOOD) WILL BE TEAMMATES FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS. THE 2010 CLASS HAS SET THE BAR HIGH!!!! http://www.msueagles.com/news/2009/11/1 ... 94918.aspx http://msueaglenation.wordpress.com/

LOOKING AT THEIR SCHEDULE, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY SIEGEL WILL HAVE BETWEEN 8 AND 10 LOSSES BY NEW YEAR'S DAY.

Did Hammonds sign today?

LOOKS LIKE MCBEE MAYBE BE ONE OF THE BIG SURPRISES FOR THE VOLS THIS YEAR. I HEAR HE WILL BE WORKED INTO THE ROTATION AS A WALK-ON (SCHOLARSHIP SHOULD BE FOURTH COMING). SEEMS LIKE HE MADE A GREAT CHOICE TO FOLLOW HIS DREAMS. GOOD LUCK TO HIM!!!

I AGREE. GREAT POST.

Devante Ellis is running the point. He is much improved from last year and had a great summer shooting the ball. Tate is definately solid but Hammonds is the best player on the team. The good thing is that this TEAM doesnt care who scores as long as they get the W. Mark my words now, Cedric Williams will scare a lot of people this year. Please don't think of the same kid you saw at Riverdale last year. And I dont mean he has gotten better... I mean he doesnt even look like the same kid. We will see tomorrow in the playday. GO STARS!!! So who would your 5 be from the two Siegel teams? JIMMY ODEN, KEITH RAMSEY, KERRY HAMMONDS, MARC GOOCH AND LEVON TATE. IF YOU INCLUDED TYLER CUTTERS' TEAM IN THIS.. I WOULD TAKE HIM OVER GOOCH.
