I like UH's program, but still hate to see a kid leave. Difficult situation for Clay but I guess thie kid is looking for more expoiser. Just a tough deal.

If he wanted more exposure he could have picked several places over Upperman. They have only fielded competitive teams the past few seasons. There are no guarantees they will continue to win.

my guess is 3a with 6a Cookeville on the schedule looked better than the current schedule and talent around him at Clay. Plus the move wasn't that far. I would have guessed he would have went to 4a LA being even closer, but I guess that his his families choice.

Of course it all assumptions that he is looking for more exposure. Is it at all possible that he left simply to a better academic school and is not even playing football?

as I dig I am hearing two stories on Endicott. 1 is he will be competing with 6'1 running qb transfer from Vegas to see who will be the start and play all three sports at UH. If true, to be the starter, he will have to have enough upside for UH to somewhat chage the offense up from the running qb style offense. Word is the kid from Vegas is pretty darn good. The other story I hear is he is coming into UH to just focus on Basketball and baseball. The guy said his parents think he will top out at 6'7-6'8...and think his future is not in football. Either way, great add to Upperman. Big loss for Clay.

well you gotta do what's best for the kid. He has the raw ability just needs to refine it a bit and add to it. Upperman had a great QB last year that got some exposure so it's a spot for him. 6'7 or 6'8 is nice height for basketball and crazy good for baseball pitcher. Good luck to him from this guy from SP. I know talent when I see it.

 

This will really hurt Clay IMO.

It won't really matter If the Clay Co. Commission doesn't approve a school budget. The school system could shut down next week.

Just saw in the HC that they passed a "maintenance of effort" budget at the deadline last night to keep schools open?

But they'll have to fund the federal mandates at some point they have no choice.

The article also said that this was the first year the school board had asked for additional funding in over 15 years. Gotta find a way.

Now speaking of Mr. Endicott, if he wants to come up to Cookeville and play quarterback his senior year we'd be glad to have him!

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
