Is it not funny how all these Memphis area kids are ranked in the top 25 yet the Gold Balls always come to East TN. Anyone find this strange, or is it just me?

 

Memphis has more athletes recognized because it has ATHLETES. Why do you think college coaches flock there to recruit? You all are delusional if you think it's because the head coaches there have a much better 'system'. I love NE Tennessee and the football here, but don't kid yourselves into thinking the high schools here have kids on that level-- not even close.

 

The gold balls reside mostly in the east because of better coaching. Think of the best, most recognized athletes from NET and consider where they end up playing. I promise you most Memphis city school teams have 5-6 players that get a D1 look, even if the team is horrid.

I understand the premise of your entire post. But the statement above is just overkill. MOST Memphis City Schools DO NOT HAVE 5-6 players to get a look from D1 programs. That is just blatantly an exaggeration. There are a select few programs that may have multiple D1 student athletes to D1 scholly's from time to time.

 

Yes ... there are some Memphis City High school coaches who have figured out the recruiting process more so then other coaches (In Memphis). Their ability to draw college recruiters to their program is a product of having a winning program and teaching their student athletes how to use the recruiting mechanism to their advantage. There are some coaches in Memphis who have put in the work in that regard. It isn't something magical ... and it isn't just because there are athletes at the high school. Take a look at the list of high schools on the list in this blog written by the Commercial Appeal's Prep sportswriter and you will notice that some schools represent more the others. That isn't by accident or happenstance. It's by design and a focused concerted effort. It just doesn't happen otherwise.

 

Yes and some Memphis coaches get new cars and cash payouts from recruiters. Some players do also. I think thats by design also.

Where there are big money programs with big money boosters involved, there will be corruption. It's the few who indulge that make it look bad for the majority that don't. It's sad that it happens, but it does.

    • lol, not me. I did ask about that because I was watching the siegel vs Farragut game. It was backwards there as well. I believe for the camera to get it right it has to be put in by the NFHS team correctly or it will be backwards. 
    • Would you kindly provide further elucidation regarding the intricacies and nuances embedded within your statement?
    • Mancoverage, the analogy to the esteemed John Ward is a commendable gesture, underscored by its profound implications. It is indeed an honor to be likened to such a luminary figure. Moreover, the assertion that the prospective head coach resides within the confines of the aforementioned list resonates with perspicacity and foresight. GOAT, it is imperative to acknowledge the potential impact of disparaging remarks upon the esteemed individuals cataloged within the aforementioned list, meticulously curated by Clint and myself.

    • Color me shocked that Keith is playing the victim in all of this. You would think a 27 year old “military man” would own up to his mistakes. All those singing his praises on multiple media outlets and social media might need to do some due diligence and talk to those that have had some real bad interactions with DK.    at the end of the day what stinks is that some innocent people are going to be caught up in the mess that the Head principal, Keith and a few rogue teachers created. The head principal was warned multiple times about Keith and chose to hitch his wagon to him and the monster that was created couldn’t be controlled. But as we have now seen, Jenkins was doing his own stuff below board to make himself look better. And what stinks even worse is there might be more people that lose their job that were the ones doing everything in their power to warn Jenkins.
