I'm curious to know with a historical program like UC's and the multiple championships, why don't they ever have a player to be recruited by major colleges.  Are they not good enough being in 1A?

My opinion and my opinion only.  We are stuck in the far northwestern part of state.  The only newspaper coverage we have is locally.  The exposure to the kids is a little slim.  We have great players here.  each year, some college misses out on good players.  One other thing, our coach is a TEAM coach and teaches that awards are by team, not individual which happens but you loose and win as teams.  No one gets singled out.  The Jackson Sun is a regional paper and does not cover us.  The Commercial Appeal is a larger regional print paper that does not cover us.  So media exposure is one key area for sure.  I personally would like to know myself.  Good queston though.

I know in the past yrs., Henry Co., Milan, and Westview have all had players go to major SEC colleges.

Few and far between. UCdiditagain is correct. HC won state last year and had one offer at UT Martin.

The parents must be the ones getting their kids noticed. They need to go to all of the camps and start young. The school and coaches will play a small part in it but at the end of the day it's the parents job to put their kid in a position to be noticed.

Utilize HUDL. It works. Don't try SEC schools. Go after smaller schools at first and once your name is out there with a lot of views people take notice. However don't be afraid to send emails to Butch Jones and company. Also don't wait until kid is a senior, start early
