Agreed.   To have three young men on the 6A Pre-Season All State Team at RB and only one (1) of them is listed on one (1) of the four (4) recruiting services that I frequent speaks volumes. Especial

Agreed. Very good comparison. Neither one got any kind of praise. Murphy was another defender for Blackman that nobody noticed. People do not realize how much Blackman will miss their presence this season

It seems that the Southwind High School to the University of Memphis pipeline is still flowing. It makes sense, if you think about it actually, seeing that the Southwind HC is a graduate and ex U of M strong safety. I don't think that is why the young man was offered, but it probably didn't hinder anything either.  The mere fact that young man is currently a 6'-3", 220 lb. DE, who has been timed to run a 4.67 40-yard dash (according to his HUDL profile) may have more to do with that. Not everybody who will be playing D-1 football on Saturday's can get their name on Murphy's pre-season 6A team, but there are plenty of guys who could be alternatives ... I think this guy is one of them. Below is the Article written by John Varlas in today's Commercial Appeal. (Football is in the air when the local paper starts writing high school recruiting stories in the summer!) Link below.

Well ... there are two things you can't coach ... Size and Speed ... this young man has both! I'm sure I'll see him play sometime this season before he becomes a U of M Tiger.

Elijah Phipps (#48 For Whitehaven) didn't look that big to me but one thing is for sure he is a Baller and gives max effort I'm glad to see him on the list along with McMillon.

 

According to the last roster that I saw Elijah Phipps has grown in stature and has become significantly heavier from his junior year, If I am to believe what I read.  I have to admit that I was surprised as well to see his name on the list.

5 Shelby-Metro players out of 24 isn't bad but I still feel its not really proper representation...

 

Agreed.

 

To have three young men on the 6A Pre-Season All State Team at RB and only one (1) of them is listed on one (1) of the four (4) recruiting services that I frequent speaks volumes. Especially since the one that was listed was very low on the list of recruits. However, the young man from Memphis Central, Deddrick Thomas, is listed on all four and significantly high on the list; who, has been offered by five (5) D-1 schools and two (2) of the five (5) are SEC schools, to which one (1) of the two (2) SEC schools he has verbally committed.

 

Oh well ... it is what it is. Murphy's not perfect and I appreciate what he does. Just my 0.02 cents worth of an opinion.

I failed to note that Deddrick Thomas isn't listed as a RB ... he's listed as an ATH, eventhough he plays QB at Central.

 

However, the position for which he's listed shouldn't matter because he's one of the top recruits in the entire state regardless of position and he should have been listed on the All State Team. Period.

Another Maryville player that should have been nominated is Defensive Tackle Ritchie Koons. Koons gets overlooked because of Dylan Jackson. I do know this. Koons is a grown man. Koons is 6'3 285lbs. Kid benches close to 400lbs and squats over 500lbs. Maryville had a great run defense. They shut down a lot of good teams run game. Koons is a big reason why.

      $750,000 Lawsuit Files Against Warren County School District

      By pioneer42 · Posted

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.

      I am going to assume you are not a lawyer, and most reasonable lawyers would not say the lawsuit has a zero percent chance in court. I agree with you that a coach has the ability to dismiss anyone from a team. However, Ms. Winfree was never presented with the opportunity to present her witnesses and have them tell the coaches and administrators what they heard. A lawyer could better explain the lawsuit and the grounds to you. Before you start making wild assumptions about the lawsuit, would it be too much to ask that you do a little legal research first? The lawsuit is dealing with due process, loss of property, and defamation.   You can read the lawsuit here: https://bdnewsletter.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/doc-1-complaint-filed-4-18-2024.pdf

      The administration took the path of backing the coach and whispering to people that the kid was a problem. The reality is that the kid was never a problem on a team or classroom. The player says she has witnessed who back her not saying the f-word.  Why did the coach make that story up and other stories? I am not Sigmund Freud and do not have an answer for the ex=-coach's behavior..
