Great hire! Congrats

That's a home run hire.. He will do well with the open enrollment within Wilson County schools..

Good move...if they have talent, they will win. If WC gets Coach Wild's son, another good addition to the athletic program at WC

I agree.  Things should get very interesting with this hire and the open enrollment starting this fall.

How will the open enrollment work?

If a school is not full, or overcrowded, a previously out of zone student can transfer in.  All TSSAA transfer rules still apply, so it would mainly concern students coming from middle school.  At the present time, Mt Juliet Middle School and Mt Juliet High school are the only schools in the county that are "full" to my understanding.  I am sure there could be a "sudden opening" if a gifted athlete applied to come to these schools.  Just my opinion.

Wilson Central used to be overcrowded. I guess the new Lebanon High School may have alleviated that.

As for Wild...he is a nomad. Maybe he will stay for some time. He is a great coach.

Agreed about Wild.  He has more moves than ex-lax!

If everyone stays in place in 9AAA, they will own the gold ball for many years to come. They just have too much talent and any good coach will tell you they are only as good as the players they are coaching.
