Yelton Leaves Lee, East TN Girls That Help Give Him National Titles to..

[Booger]

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

Article says Hennessey will take over for this upcoming season, and has been there for 3 years as asst, coach...so hopefully that will help with the transition....

From what I have heard from a couple of the girls, is that he is liked and think he will do a good job. Wonder if Walker could have seen into the future, if he would have left for UNA

 

Booger just sayin

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.

That's a good little conference IMO. I know coaches and kids at multiple programs. They have a great time and play some quality OOC teams.

Actually, Matt will not be going to Samford. Booger betting he is taking over the DOC position fulltime for CFC. Seriously! Aint no jokin
