MidTennFootball Posted April 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 And while were on this topic, King has nothin on Burks when it comes to the amount of transfers he has gotten, yet King still owns him when it counts. I distinctly remember a few years ago when Burks bagged 4 or 5 transfers. I can strike up one or 2 in the offseason as mere coincidence and maybe even 3, but when it gets beyond that things look pretty fishy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE SQUAD Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 From an outsider's point of view,how do the transfers work in the 'Boro? We see a lot of it on the T,but it effects more than just M'Boro,it effects us all. What does it take to transfer & what are the rules?

People find out when players are going to transfer no matter how far they are. Does Burks recruit? I dont think so, but when riverdaleman throws something out there in suggesting that maybe King has a hand in some of these kids coming, im just merely turning the question back at him. If Maupins and Nelson dont want to be at Oakland, thats peachy, I hope they find a place that they do like, for their sake and for Oakland's sake, King will play with the hand hes dealt with and Oakland fans will never have to worry about excuses from the man at the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2priceless Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) When Coach King gets the amount and quality of transfers that Rankin got, then we can talk, Oakland still has a few hundred to go.................

So Rankin has a few rings and king doesnt, more power to him. Ill take a man who wins his own way and has stayed loyal to the schooled that hired him over 20 years ago. Rankin did great things, but I could have won state championships with some of these team Edited April 16, 2006 by OaklandGrad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pointing it out that it is common for these kids to go from 1 school or another and it HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RECRUITING Coach King is like Rankin or Riverdale he doesnt have to recruit his record speaks for itslef now coach Burks has got to recruit HIS kidswhereas King doesnt even have to talk to them but he does (which IS LEGAL) You will not hear me bash coach Kng he is a fine man I truely like coach king he is a good honest man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
