Don't know about Friday but stopped by practice today. The fellas looked good for their first day in pads. They are excited and ready to go. Coach Tapp has a great group of assistants all doing a fine job. You could definitely see a lot of those guys have changed their bodies over the summer. Their off-season workouts have paid off for many. Friday might end up being a speedfest! HA!

 

Go Big Blue!

This is what I do know. AE WR/DB 6'5 Chase Jones rated one of the top DB's in the city will not be there. He is in Orlando playing in AAU National Championships. But tons of skills. They will be sound both offensively and defensively. They destroyed 5A Science Hill high school this spring. A lot of their players were not there due to track and having to work spring. I think they only had 30 players this spring. They have around 80. They are young but very athletic. Haven't been to practices but hear there is a lot of excitment there. Heard Fulton coach say that AE was loaded this year. Have 8 very good RB's this Good for AE and Harriman. AE gets to see physical wing T. Harriman gets to see a lot of team speed. Defensive front is very good.

Looking forward to this scrimmage.. I might even be in the house for this scrimmage. Like Boorelly said, AE is very young this year but however the youngings are ready for the the Boro... I've said it so many times this summer, AE will be the sleeper team. As for the scrimmage, look for the Roadrunners to break in their new offense and their Defense well 1-2-3 Shut Down 3-2-1 Take it to the State.. Nuff Said!!

Harriman will be a force to reckon with this season. There speed is unreal. They have 3 guys that can run with or under a 4.6 forty. If there summer work-outs went as well as what everyone is saying, look out in Roane County! I can't wait to watch them scrimmage Friday. Go Blue Devils!

But does the Blue Devils have enough speed to keep up with the Runners?

In the skill positions yes i think the blue devils have the speed to keep up with AE.. but in the trenches may be different,,we know AE has the speed to beat anyone..but against Harriman are the raodrunners physical enough to stop the wing T harriman brings to the game? i think that will be the question...but all else said i know this scrimmage will help the devils alot they wont play another team this year with speed like AE has..and it will be good for the roadrunners to see a power type offense for when the play catholic and fulton later this year..i still think harriman is the quiet team that if they stay together they have alot going for them in 08...and a possible region championship will be in the future for the 08 devils..as for Austin East all the luck on the upcoming season..........ITS ALMOST FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fulton doesn't run the wing t... However this scrimmage will get AE ready for their first ball game which is against Webb.. They run something like the Wing T so this scrimmage will help AE out big time...

 

And yes, the best of luck to the Blue Devils as well.. I'm looking forward to Friday.. I'm planning on making the trip down to the wood I mean Harriman...

    • 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.
