Dyer Co should have two of the best in Cedarius Taylor and the Hudson kid I've been reading about..But I haven't seen Hudson in person..so not sure..Also Dyer Co has a couple more that's as good or better than most teams in Fred Yarbrough and Cranston Fisk...Dyer Co is going to be special the next few years ! And I'm not posting this because I'm Dyer Co..Lake Co is my team and Lake Co has 1 good freshman as well in Raphael Tyler,who could start...But Dyer Co could really have 4..!

 

 

After seeing Hudson play for DC tonight and watching Mitchell Simpson from GC play in 2 scrimmages, Simpson is by far the better athlete as well as basketball player now. I thought the opposite when they were in middle school, but Simpson has gotten a lot better since being at GC. I think he could be really good if he keeps staying out of trouble and I have heard nothing but good things about him. Too bad the Hudson boy didnt stay at GC, him and Simpson with some of the other underclassmen at GC could of really done some damage for 4 years.

Not sure about best freshmen, but one of the top eighth graders in the state is Desmond Robertson. He goes to Whiteville Elementary, a feeder school for Bolivar Central. He is 6'2, long and athletic and can play a number of positions. He has scored 39 and 36 in his last two games. He has post moves and finishes strong and he also can shoot the three. He dunks with ease already and gets a dunk about every other game.

I kno coach Bills at Whiteville Elem. and he told me Desmond has the potential to be the Best to ever come out of not only Bolivar but West TN. Bolivar just keep em coming

I wish I had a dime for every freshman (8th grader in deference to kid at Whiteville) that never came close to all the hype. Anyone remember Paris London (or was it London Paris) in Memphis. No, probably not. Guess what. He was just one can't miss. Had coaches drooling when he was in middle school. Had a press conference to announce his high school selection. Let's see, what NBA team is he with?

 

Let the poor kids play a bit before projecting for Dick Vitale's Diaper Dandy team!

Yea but he ending up going to Memphis so he did pretty well, and getting a college scholarship is a very good accomplishment. Wat I think u dont notice is that ALOT of the dudes who are highly recruited in high school dont survive in the NBA.

And he was also a top 50 players coming out of high school. So he was a cant miss he just didnt go to the NBA which is an achievement that mean he was a bust in high school. And if u remember that 1998 class, u will remember Korleone Young who declared for the NBA and was a top 5 player coming out of high school. Do u even know where he is now?

Ok guys, the best Freshman in the state is also the best kept secret in Tennessee. His name is Jedidiah Covington. He's about 6'7 and 220. I've seen the guy play several times and he can flat out play. He plays the three position, but can mix it up down low as well. He has quite a wide array of dunks in his arsenal as well. He has been homeschooled all of his life, but next year (his sophomore year) he is going to Trinity in Jackson, TN. I work with his uncle so I know about him first hand. He was raised in the mountains of Chattanooga, in a sort of Ammish-type lifestyle, but now he's moved to Jackson with his parents, as his father recently took a job at Proctor and Gamble. Trust me, ladies and gentlemen, this kid is the truth. I don't know much about Trinity, but they are gonna be awesome next year with the addition of Covington.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
