City folk have been doing it for years, RebRaider.  Heck, it was just a few years ago that a city player's family "rented an apartment" just for football season his senior year, sent little Johnny off to play at a county school where he would get playing time, then transferred junior back for graduation at his city school.  How's that for working the rules.  All legal like... just saying... No names :ph34r:

Your exact sir !!! From what I have heard Eastmans new headquarters being built will bring in a lot of new athletes from New York and other areas !!!

Aside from the problems that's always been there I don't see anything "coming apart at the seams". You have the "good 'ole boy" system and the outside influence from a few boosters and probably a couple coaches that shouldn't be there. The exact same problems you have at 90% of the high schools across America. You have a player that leaves because he thought he was going to be a starter and it wasn't working out for him. And you have two players that moved, (no fault of DB), People move sometimes. The biggest problem right now is injuries. They have a lot of players banged up. DB has had a couple of classes that have been a little weaker than what we're used to seeing and this year is considered rebuilding. This will be a young team that if they can stay healthy and learn will be a very good team by game 10. I've heard rumors of a couple players from two different states that will likely be in DB uniforms next year. And both are Div. 1 material. So sometimes you have transfers out and sometimes you have transfers in.

I live in Johnson City and I know of at least 5 or 6 people in my neighborhood that work at Eastman. One of whom holds a very big position over there. All of their kids go to Science Hill, except for one (and his son goes to Providence Academy).

 

 

Back to DB though, they'll be fine regardless of transfers in or out. They have a wealth of talent over there.

That was my point, by what's his doofus was too giddy about the alleged DB recruiters working the streets in New York.

 

At any given SH sporting event, I usually run into enough Eastman employees to run a full crew.  The same can probably said for Bristol, Elizabethton, and other area schools.

    • Yeah.  Kids only transfer in and out of Bearden these days, you know.   That particular poster evidentially has a personal vendetta with Josh Jones.   Consider the source.  And the kid transferring to McCallie is a terrific talent, but an opportunity to go to McCallie on scholarship (and I am assuming that is the case) is one that is very much beneficial both athletically and academically.  McCallie is a great school for both.   Bearden will be fine.  And so will both of those kids who decided with their parents/advisors to go elsewhere.  
    • I think we are conducting interviews now since we have so many wanting to come to school here and play for a real team with a chance to play in front of lot's of fan's and have a chance to win a championship every year.  
    • Esteemed colleagues, On this auspicious Saturday morning, I fortuitously encountered Dr. Satterfield at the Early Bird Cafe, whereupon we engaged in a discourse concerning the pool of candidates vying for a coveted position. Dr. Satterfield, possessing a discerning eye, has graciously shared insights into the contenders, which I shall now relay to you in a structured manner. Eric Vetetoe, though initially absent from my considerations, ascended to the zenith of Clint's roster, poised atop his discerning clipboard as a preeminent candidate. Kyle Gregory, with a coaching demeanor reminiscent of a bygone era, has captivated Clint's admiration. His interview performance, I am informed, left an indelible impression, aligning seamlessly with Clint's nostalgic sentiments. Davy Cothron's cerebral approach to offense, notwithstanding a past championship game setback, garners high praise from Dr. Satterfield. His strategic acumen, it appears, remains unblemished despite previous trials. Brandon Eden's steadfast allegiance to the team, evidenced by his tenure on the creekbank, earns him considerable favor in Clint's estimation. Anticipation lingers as to whether an offer may be extended in recognition of his unwavering dedication. Wesley Satterfield emerges as a compelling candidate following a favorable assessment by Mr. Satterfield himself. The prospect of a Satterfield succession holds a certain allure, embodying continuity and tradition in equal measure. Kyle Shoulders, a surprising entrant in the applicant pool, impresses Clint with his football intellect, potentially positioning him as a contender for the role. Josh Hackett's defensive prowess, particularly in encounters against Trousdale over recent years, earns commendation from Coach Satterfield, underscoring his proficiency in the strategic aspects of the game. John McNeal's track record of success across multiple sports affords him undeniable merit, though the prospect of his acceptance, if offered, remains uncertain. Chad Evitts, a former NFL luminary, presents a unique opportunity, recognized keenly by Mr. Satterfield, to infuse our program with elite expertise and experience. Matt Dyer, revered for his contributions during the regular season, faces scrutiny for his playoff performances, a dichotomy that weighs upon Clint's evaluation. Chuck Gentry, endorsed by Dr. Satterfield, embodies the promise of transformative leadership, drawing parallels to his past triumphs in revitalizing programs akin to ours. Clint extols BJ West's astute management at the middle school echelon, where his strategic maneuver of strategically calibrating the team's schedule to optimize performance stands as a testament to his sagacity and acumen in navigating competitive dynamics. In conclusion, the deliberations surrounding our prospective leadership remain nuanced and multifaceted, underscoring the significance of this decision in shaping the future trajectory of our esteemed institution.  
    • Unfortunately we did after the first hire, that's why we tried to fight it so bad. this is a bad situation for our community and school.
