I heard that Aaron White from Oak Ridge has transferred along with a football player to Clinton. They already got a QB(Mario), a freshman phenom(Jarvis Washington), and Geoffrey Lee from Oak Ridge. Lee, Mario, and White were all supposedly ineligible. How are all these kids going to Clinton to play ball when they can't pass at Oak Ridge? It seems strange considering the coaching staff at Clinton has pushed hard for a no transfer policy between Clinton and Anderson County the last few years. They won't let students go to AC who want to, but they will let athletes come from Oak Ridge who can't make the grades. No wonder so many parents want there kids at AC and not Clinton.....

It's good to hear that White is still at Oak Ridge. I hope White does stay at OR and help coach Norris establish the type of program that OR deserves. Hopefully he'll turn around his academic troubles. Jarvis was definitely playing football for Clinton this summer, but I guess he changed his mind. As for Geoffrey, he should be the man for Clinton if he gets eligible. Lee, Vibbert, and Morris along with Clinton's quick guards will be awesome for Coach Lockard. They fit perfectly with his style of play. As a junior, Tevaun Morris has to be the best big man prospect this side of Vince Redd. Vibbert and Lee are aggressive, athletic, and they have size. They will dunk on lots of people this year. Beaman and Sharp are as quick as they come. Clinton should be favored to win their district and to compete with Maryville for the region if all of these players get on the floor together......

To find the best big man around that area you will have to go down the road a little more to Oak Ridge. #25 for the TN Breakers, first name is Kevin... but the last name slips my memory. That kid can shoot. Soft-touch on the ball. Noticed him at the AAU state tourney in Memphis earlier in the year. Is he a junior or senior, and is he the real deal? Also, does Clinton have any games in the Nashville area this season?

Chill, why don't you just worry about the redruiting that you and the basketball staff at AC does. Maybe if the Mavs are losing basketball talent to Clinton, then Coach Kerr can possibly come in and help out on the basketball side. he does a great job in football. The Mavs' football recruits are among the best in the state.

Another player who will likely start for Clinton is Freels. He had to play behind Rodd for two years and got limited playing time. I'd say Beamon, Sharp, Vibber, Freels, and Morris will beat most anybody. Then you add Lee subbing for Morris and Freels (or really any of the starters) you have a powerhouse team. Then you have Freeman and a ton of good players off the bench. I think Clinton will be very good.

NashvilleEye, you are referring to Oak Ridge star #50, Kevin Kauchak. He is a senior and he is the real deal, watch for him to make people miserable this year.

 

He has a nice 10-12 footer, but put a body on him and he doesn't like the physical play. Also slow I think, but a good court reader.

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
