There are several players in Northeast Tennessee to watch in the Jr. Class

 

I am sure I will miss some but here is a start:

 

Tennessee High

Jon Krebbs - big righty with a 90 mph fastball - big upside, would be a great JUCO fit

Jarod Payne - Solid MIF with great game knowledge, will probably play JUCO to start

SHHS-

Nat Patterson - Clutch hitting 1b, can swing with power- depending on growth this year, will get NAIA to D1 interest. This summer will dictate were he lands

Ben McKinney- Smooth Strong - has developed a 2 seam fastball that's nasty, has hit 90's but will pitch in the upper 80's. Will get much D1 interest.

Lance Reed- Great baseball pedigree- just switching to a catching position this year. Will have a bit of work here but has a great teacher. He will play college at some level.

Others to watch at SHHS are Sims, Mancusso, Muse and DeLoach

David Crockett

This kid is a Soph but Clint Freeman has a chance to be really good. Clint is a solid two way looking for a postition he can claim. How he settles into that role will determine where he can play at the college level.

Unicoi HS-

Watch Bobby Smith- He has the potential to get strong NAIA interest, UCHS has some strong sophmore prospects in Logan Rice, Seth Whitson, and DW Whitson -

There are several more, Dunbar and Crapps at Elizabethton, The Shortstop at DB (I don't have his name) Sulivan East has some really nice younger kids including a sophmore (I think his name is Tate) with a low to mid 80's fastball that will be a surprise to a lot of big nine teams.

This was a quick top of mind download so for the obvious I missed, sorry in advance.

RYAN CASTEEL! hands down... catcher at Bradley Central can smash! He also throws around a 1.9... already receiving a ton of letters from schools including LSU... Heath Comerford from McMinn County, pitcher/catcher/1B, can carve up anyone or gas it by them... not to mention Comerford can hammer the ball.... already receiving a ton of letters from schools including Auburn

Noe is a senior..

 

and question... are we talking about players who are juniors that are going to go on to play college baseball or are we talking about players who will commit during their junior season??

 

 

I meant players who will commit after their Junior year during the signing period.

    • 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.
