You're starting to sound like a Tennessee football fan from the mid 2000s. Why bother being a top 10 team every year if you can't win it all? Be careful what you wish for, things can be a heck of a lot worse!

Agreed completely.

What the ****?!?!?! People are talking about the football game Friday night? When did this happen?!?!

Actually, not publicly announcing an offer is the last thing you want to do. That is true for ALL sports. Most schools, specifically at the NCAA division 1 level, do not want to be the only school to offer a recruit. And in most cases, kids may be receiving letters and attention from dozens of schools for months (and sometimes years), but an offer seems to never come. But once the first offer comes, the recruit will usually receive several more in the following days. I am not sure if wrestling has an equivalent- but for sports like basketball, football and baseball there are recruiting websites (rivals, scout, espn) that offer a star rating system. The number of stars you have depends solely on what schools, and how many schools, have offered you a scholarship. Now do these kids need to get on Coacht and list for all us nobodys who has offered them? No... not saying that at all. But they shouldn't be keeping that information private at all either.

Needs to be done, if not smaller. I get that a lot of decisions are money related, but teams automatically making the playoffs is a joke of the sport.

Unless there is more to come? .... Okay, I'll admit that comment is made simply just to stir the pot.

Not many can grasp, better yet appreciate this level of satirical humor. Kudos to you! Post of the year!

If they don't move in this direction though, they could be opening the doors wide open for "recruiting" across the state. Either side you spin it, any punishment could realistically be argued as either too harsh or not harsh enough.

No inferences at all. Just statements of fact.

He didn't rank teams at all. You did. He simply chose to compliment each team that has a chance of coming out that side of the bracket.

This is a very odd case and I believe to be new for TSSAA. I think a precedent will be set from this, so TSSAA should take some consideration before issuing their punishment.

How dare you bring sound logic into this argument

This should be a hard fought game and big test for Powell. I predict Rhea County keeps it close for 3 quarters, but Powell makes some big plays late in the game to break it open in the 4th. Powell by 14-17.

Elijah Young is their guy. Running back committed to Missouri. He had offers from other Power 5 conference schools as well and is as good as advertised.

AAA didn't exist before the split? It was just Division 1 and Division 2.

Did Notre Dame actually compete in AAA? or is their time spent in D1 (one classification) before the A/AA - AAA split being considered AAA here?

Any other big names from that area enrolled there? I've heard that school is wanting to push athletics just as much as academics and compete for state titles across all sports.

Its been a day and a half since rankings came out and there's not any arguments yet... Maybe he's just feeling a littly antsy and wanting to pounce.

About as "official" as TN rankings get. Look for several changes to be made the first few weeks of the season as there is still a fair amount of guessing on what weight class kids will be competing at.

If Boone has their running back, they win big.

I could see Region 1 going 3-1. I am really not impressed with what I've seen from Halls or Gibbs this season. Gibbs did just pull off a major upset against Central, however, that makes me question Central more than it does anything else. I think Crockett is better than Gibbs, so I think Crockett vs Central will be the closest game (Not sure yet who I predict to win). Halls is a one man band, and I think Boone is a more complete team. Even if #8 scores 3 touchdowns, I still think Boone wins by 14+. Gibbs apparently is better than I originally thought, however I don't think they have enough to sneak up on 2 teams better than them in a row. I predict TN high to win that one by a few TDs.

I think you mean Region 3. Region 4 will likely be swept, unless Rhea County can beat the worst team Fulton has put on the field in 20 years. And how are these games not worth the discussion? Just about everyone will predict South Doyle over Cherokee, but the other 3 games could possible go either way.

Love this type of thing. I hate that our local news never does anything for wrestling here.

...... Tease.

I would agree the Wooten kid deserves to be somewhere on the list. He may not have done anything at national tournaments (if he even attended any?), but he dominated a lot of tournaments at 220 while only weighing in around 200.
