Knox. Fulton vs Sullivan South

[FHSalumn12]

Fulton has a great recruiting staff at the 8th grade level, they do a great job getting the kids from other schools to come to Fulton... Guess they will enjoy their recruited team all the way to state,

someone seems angry... catholic takes as many players as fulton. Who wouldn't want to play for winners? Yeah tee martins son Amari a 2 year star for fultons 8th grade team ended up where? Catholic but you probably didn't count that as recruiting huh? Quit crying and support your team.

Not crying facts are the facts year after year the 8th grade coaches go around selling their travel program to al the athletes in the area telling them about all the tournaments they will play then the sale begins, I think most students come to Catholic for privte education, hey more power to you guys if you have to recruit to win then recruit just do't try to act like you gusy aren't the best at it, it probably helps to have someone from your school in bed with TSSAA..

Hey FHSalumn12 don't pay Irishlife any mind we get blamed for Recruiting all the time in the county. And we don't look for talent because IF YOU BUILD A PROGRAM LIKE THE DEVILS AND FALCONS HAVE THE TALENT WILL SEEK YOU !! why wouldn't a kid with talent want to play with the BEST!!!!! GO DEVILS ! We see you falcons and we READY!!!

I've been reading on coacht for years how schools recruit. I honestly don't think that these schools do. I think some outsiders like youth coaches try to steer a kid to a certain school but those are few. When you're winning parents and kids want to play for that school. Your performance and tradition recruits kids. Schools like Maryville, Greeneville, Fulton, Oak Ridge, and Science Hill sell themselves there is no need to recruit. I sent my son to Catholic because of the academics (and we are Catholic). He's been attending Catholic games since he was 2 so he's always wanted to go there. Some people don't realize it but catholic had sent a lot of players to college to play football. Since 2007 Catholic has had players sign at Notre Dame, Baylor, MTSU, Navy, Duke, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Bowling Green, UT and numerous 1AA schools. Exposure is big for kids. I remember my son telling me after a basketball game last season that Amari was coming to Catholic and he said the reason was the academics and he knew he'd play as freshman which he did till he got hurt. The cheating accusation gets old. It's sad that people believe that the only you can win is by cheating?

Kids come play for the Fulton 8th grade program simply for the fact they have the best coaching staff in the area for that age group and they have a history of championships. Kids wanna play for a winner. And to be honest about 95% of the kids on that team go the middle schools that feed into Fulton. This was the first time in about 6 years that program hasn't played for the city championship.

They have a good program. My son played for Catholic Youth last year and the Falcons beat us in the championship game 13-7. They were well coached and huge.

How do you explain the Silvey kid that went to Catholic from Loudon where he played 8th grade ball last year. I'll tell you. A free education and a place to live, courtesy of Catholic High School. Not crying facts are facts. Not against Catholic fans like QSouth89 and others, but Irishlife is giving y'all a bad rap with posts like that.

That team was very good. And Catholic had a very good 8th grade teams this year. Those two 8th grade programs are the best in Knoxville year in and year out.

Why do threads always end up pointing fingers to schools recruiting? Can we talk about the matchup?

 

Unfortunately I will not be able to attend due to work. I hope south will play their hearts out and the game is free of injuries but, from what I have heard about Fulton, they are a great football team with virtual no weaknesses. If there are any I'm sure that coach h will find them. Go Rebels!!

Fulton will brutalize Sullivan South 55-17

I see your point totally but many of our games we have put up 40 and 50 at the half. So do you take your starters out in the second? What happens when they face some adversity or a team that can compete with them. If our starters never played past the 2nd quarter they would not know how to handle playing a full game. I know that sounds like a poor excuse but it really isn't. I assure coach rob black is one of the classiest men I know and he would never run up the score. You can view fultons rushing stats this year the second and third string backs have scored 3 and 4 times respectively. The back up qb has 2 tds and the back up fullback has even scored once. So our back ups go just as hard as the starters. No running up the score on Fulton's side.

I know what your are saying about second and third string scoring. But, I guarantee coach is not just calling dive plays. He is probably running same offense just like first string. There is a big difference.

Pull your head out of the sand. Lots of school recruit.
