DB, i think, for the first time in a long time will have a lot more depth than this year's SH team has. DB has 11 players that are going to get serious playing time...Not just to rest people but because of how they can play. But its not about who starts the game, its about who is in there at the end to finish it!

 

 

That is true Orange but we are just curious to see some of the players that these two teams throw out on the floor to start out. But you are right, it matters who finishes the game.

Jordan Edwards-DB

Kyle Barnes-Sullivan East

Patrick Albright-Sullivan Central

Dionte Gray-Science Hill

 

Not necessarily in that order,but I would guess those are the 4 that will be on first and second team all conference at the end of the year.

 

 

 

I like the other three and even would keep Barnes in there......... but PLEASE NEVER EVER put Patrick Albright in the same category as Jordan Edwards and Dionte Gray. PLEASE he will get his lunch eaten by those guys each and EVERY game. He has no chance. Let's get real now. There are guards in this conference that are better at post than him. Come on. I know you a Central guy......... but WOW!

Albright will surprise you. And I would put Adams in there,but he plays more of the 3 man I always thought,thats why I left him off the list. And I forgot Turnbull too. But Albright will surprise people,and I will never jump on the Flack bandwagon.

Yeah I think that Flack is pretty bad for his height considering the competition he should dominate each game NO MATTER WHAT! He fades away on guys that are shorter than him and doesn't finish strong around the basket. But he IS 6'9 and will get some big point totals just because of that. Therefore he will score around 15 points a game. Then with his height he will get high rebound totals. He would still kill Albright. That dude is like 6'3 and is goofy. 6'3 is a guard for a team like DB. Albright might play alright against Crockett, East, and Volunteer where they dont have much size. But in comparison to Edwards, Hardy, Gray, Flack, Turnbull, and Adams (though he is a 3 mainly, he will play in the post a lot cause he is the tallest player for SH) He will not have a chance.

I guess we can only wait to see them play. I am looking forward to being proven right here though.

agentorange, you appear to know the McConnell and Halverson kids pretty well. Could you tell me how you know so much about them? It sounds like you are their personal promoter and think pretty highly of them. You seem especially fond of the McConnell one (hence the posts on the best shooter in East Tn thread). I was just wondering if you might be said player (Dustin McConnell a.k.a. shooting extraordinaire)?......Also, I have heard you talk alot about these players Offense, is that all that matters anymore?Tell me, McConnell, can yourself and Halverson play Defense???

 

 

I have seen both play defense.. McConnell is a little on the slow side.. But can play denfense.. Halvorsen can shut you down! That's just from what I have seen!

Please tell me whats wrong with the "Flack Bandwagon"? I think the Kid will suprise alot of you this season.

And so will many other posts. But what i dont understand is Flack isnt goin to go to college as a post, ive asked him myself. As we all know, he doesnt like to Bump and push inside, we've seen it. So yes he might not be the best post, but he has also worked on his outside game. wich will be essential for his team this year and the next 4 years in college. Any player 6'7'' and taller that has a outside to go along with a decent inside. thats RARE. and concidering hes 6'9''.... MAJOR Plus. and even more RARE to have all those Attributes.

I think ull want to change alot of players around after the season starts! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
