Leonard Sams strikes again. You can believe about 15% of all this.

I am sorry that is what you think but this is 100% what is taking place. There are several people to call and confirm the information,check the web site.This is open to every player and coach that would like to be there.Its time to bring everyone together and stop the negativity, that has been the problem.You can call me anytime at 865-389-2245 to discuss or anyone on the web site.

I dont get people like this. Always trying to tear down what we need to have happen for their own agenda.I have checked this out and its the REAL DEAL for players to take advantage of.I will make sure my daughter will take this great opprotunity to be at the camp and try-outs and you need to also.I am going to give my daughter the best chance to play with the best. This is the biggest thing to happen in Tennessee softball in a very long time.

Anyone that tries to downplay what Leonard ,Darrell,Brandon,Jamie just to name a few people involved is not smart.They along with other travel coaches,and the support of the college coaches are doing what needs to happen.This is LONG overdue!!!! If you dont support this you need to get out of softball. We had a decision to make about which try-out we were going to but after finding out the information we needed to know it was a very easy decision. "Team Tennessee" is where we will be at and will give it our best shot.

my statement is only for Leonard and many years of misrepresentations and deceipts. This may or may not be a good idea but I assure you that it is not a collective effort of the better programs in the area. It is a shame because by all accounts he is a decent coach, he just has a hard time telling the truth and following up on promises. As Thunder in the past, and as Team Tennessee in the future, this team will not be the only or better place for your daughters to play. There are , as always has been, a few other quality programs in the area that have extensive college connections and no connection with Leonard. I'm done now, it just needed to be said.

It is not a good idea to respond to post like this but I cant let this one go.I have know Leonard for a very long time and have never known him to misrepresent, lie or be deceitful about anything including softball. He has always talked very positive about other players and organizations in the area. I know because my daughter is in one of the other organization and he has helped my daughter get a scholarship in softball and she has never played for Leonard. Im sure with the people involve that they not just Leonard will make a great effort in putting this together. From what I know,this will be the organization that you will want your daughters to play for. One last thing,Leonard is not a decent coach,he is the best in the area.

Why MAKE kids go threw the camp and pay 60.00 dollars before they can tryout ? IS the camp so good that it will help them make a GOLD team ? Sounds to me the bottom line is $$$$$ . :lol:
Great Question MrPotshaws: We start evaluating the players at the camp along with the instructors and other coaches on skills levels ect... Then at the try-outs players are put in game situations so they can be evaluated there also.We dont make decisions on a 45 min try-out on making Team Tennessee. As far as the cost,its expensive to run a camp like this one.Many players pay double this to attend the same type camps.I hope this answered your questions if not please call me at 865-389-2245

I am so glad that finally this is coming together. The best thing to happen in a long time. It will only grow year after year and give our younger players something to look forward too.See you Aug 15 at the camp. :thumb:

    • 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.
