I heard that AC has an excellent recruiting class coming in this year. They have picked up several players from all over Knox County, and at least one from Campbell County. Word on the street has it that they have looked very strong in their January practices and split-squad scrimmages.

 

 

Yeah that kid that transfered to AC from Campbell County is smart cause Campbell County baseball is a joke as is their School system. Yeah AC is looking very strong, I think that AC could go all the way this year, they'll will go deep in the post season for sure, but they have a chance to take it all the way.

They have a transfer from Knox West and his name is Eric York. Good little ballplayer, left handed, plays centerfield, and has some speed. Then they have Alex Farmer from Campbell Co. Good pitcher and hitter. He will help them a lot. That is about all the transfers i've heard of.

 

They got Jordan Rorex who will help them out. Ive only seen him play baseball a few times, but I know the kid is an all around athlete who will help AC out in some way.

Jordan is a good ballplayer. He has good speed tracking the ball down. He can also hit so AC pretty much got away with theft on this kid.

Two from Knoxville, one from Campbell County. Any more from Powell and other parts unknown? Are these kids actually moving to AC, or just commuting there to play ball? What is the draw?

 

Maybe AC can switch to Division 2 and really bring in players from far and wide.

I would think so too. Now, I'm not saying the players aren't legitimate nor am I saying that the coach is breaking any rules bringing them in but it could cause some trouble for the coach IF the players aren't legit... and TSSAA finds out. Coaching high school ball isn't like coaching open league. When rules are broken, the consequences affect the whole team and the schools reputation. That usually doesn't make for good job security!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
