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.

      AE has a lot of new transfers and a very good incoming freshman class to mess with the current players.  That's why I'm saying don't sleep on AE.  Many are thinking they can't get back to their winning ways but I think this 2025 team will open a lot of eyes and let the state know, AE won't be an easy win anymore.

      Correct information on your part Waco regarding your years and wins with no generalities. if Fulmer had not been fired, he would have easily been retired for several  years by now. It’s a new regime at TN participating in the deepest football conference in America.

      Take your own advice Mr. Bill.  Memphis should stay out of the national news if it doesn't want people knowing about their "business."  SP's classes of '25, 26 and 27 contributed as well.  At the beginning of the season, we weren't sure if SP could make it out of the 2nd or 1st round in 2024 due to only 2 or 3 seniors only 1 of which played much.  We were extremely proud of that 2024 team for what they accomplished between game 1 and game 15.
