Except for last year, truth is that Alcoa doesnt play anyone game in and game out that even has a remote chance of beating them. No disrespect intended to the teams they play but beating ip on Scott co , Union co , sweetwater etc is not proving anything to anyone. Ill quote an anonymous source here… at a camp in Fla a couple years ago a friend of mines son was being scouted and recruited by several D1 schools and many others in other divisions. My friend was a part of a conversation with several D1 recruiters/coaches and he asked them if they were looking at And “unamed” Alcoa RB and they said and I quote “no because they have no strength of schedule so we really dont know what he could do against real competition”. As far as depth goes , yall have as many players as most 4A/5A schools so its about player development instead of 7v7 recruiting lol
