Yelton Leaves Lee. East TN Gilrs that help give him National Tiltes to make decisions. Matt recruited heavily in East TN and the girls from east TN will miss having that elite program trying to lure them to stay close to home. Lots of girls from ND had a hand in those National Championships and will miss having him around too......ND's Taylor Greene, the goalie Yelton had pursued from ND who had committed to Lee as a 10th grader and just recently signed w/ Lee has to be dissappointed, along with some other girls......Will he lure them to Birlmingham now?????

 

Yelton has done an outstanding job at the helm of the Chattanooga FC since taking over a couple of years ago...and influential in the merger of chattanooga and East Ridge clubs....he will be missed...wonder who gets that gig

 

Best of luck at Samford with your 2 brothers

I've been close to the Samford program for a few years now and have a high degree of respect for the entire family.  Great folks on all fronts and very supportive of each other.

 

Todd recruits from all over and some happen to be from Tennessee.  Anyone that has the talent to play there should consider it.  The non conference schedule is always tough and the team is successful.  5-1 vs SEC schools last two years with the only loss to South Carolina.  Played UVA in Birmingham last year - yes, Morgan Brian is the real deal.  Next fall they will host Ole Miss, Memphis, Boise State, Wake Forest and Duke.  They will travel to Baylor and Auburn.  All before the conference season starts.

 

With the exception of a few teams, the conference is very competitive.  The regular season conference title came down to the last game between Samford and Mercer.  In the tournament, any one of the final four teams (samford, mercer, furman, etsu) could have won.   

 

Great school/atmosphere, quality people and all you want in a schedule.  Todd delivered on all fronts.  I suspect his other brother being there will only add to the experience for the players.

    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
