I was referring to you not knowing that Moncier was Boone's best player and one of the best players in the conference last year, not the jamboree. But I forgot that if a player doesn't play for either SH, DB or TN High that you don't think they are any good. Maybe if he would have tried out for your great AAU team you would have remembered him. By the way are you still running that clown show or can't you get anymore Blountville Middle players to make up for your guys?

 

Sorry to burst your bubble but Vikingfan33 is not me. Going under different names is your game, I don't want to knock your hustle /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Ok here is how I see everything.

 

 

DB, SHHS, THS = top three teams in the conference

 

 

 

"The Rest"= Teams with the potential to pull upsets in the regular season but come playoff time. they will be out played and out coached. Still some very good players though and will give the other teams a run for their money

What games are you referring to? And please don’t say the jamboree or I will have to point you to post #135 again…Vikingfan33…I mean Brock20!! /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

 

 

 

Cap1, you seem to be very knowledgeable and a pretty mature poster. I'm new. Just wondering if you know who that point guard is at Boone might have played JV last year? He's not tall but can man-handle that ball. He's a player but I can't remember his name. If he's on Varisty, he's going to be tough to handle. Personally, I think East is the sleeper this year.

So in your last post were you saying that you predicted Volunteer to beat the Vikings? No…I don’t think so. So with that said your comment made no sense. /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> And you as a Viking fan should know that the jamboree is worse than a poker tournament. And to prove it I ask this question. How many of the players that started for the Vikings in the jamboree will start in the regular season?

 

By the way...our football season ending prematurely had nothing to do with predictions (by the way, the Vikings were HEAVY favorites in EVERY pole except maybe yours) /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> , Volunteer was simply better prepared for what they had to face on that night. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" />

His name is Dylan Compton. He is only a soph. so he will be around for a few years.

My bad...I admit that I don't know much about Boone. Moncier...hummmmm...I don't believe I heard his name called out at the All Big 9 banquet last year but maybe I'm mistaken.

I was only able to get two county boys to participate in AAU (Austin Click and Mickey "uptown" Brown) and they both came under heavy pressure from the Central coaching staff not to participate, so they left the team (after 8th grade). Austin took in a couple of tournaments year before last but left to take part in Centrals summer program /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> , and Mickey came to tryouts that same year but never showed up after the tryouts. Last summer was the last year for (what you refer to as) the "Clown show"...time to start over with a new crop. /thumb[1].gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":thumb:" border="0" alt="thumb[1].gif" /> But just in case you forgot, all of these players (16 juniors, 2 sophomores, and 1 senior) were all part of that AAU team at one time or the other.

Now look at your program at these teams' starters...NOT A BAD TESTIMONY FOR THE AAU EXPERIENCE is it!!!! /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.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.
