Any idea where the cutoff will be for each classification? Can we assume 1A and 2A will have less than 45 teams in each classification?

There's no set enrollment cutoff number. All 6 classes will be divided evenly. Indian said he counted 191 teams. I'm thinking around 48 per class or so.                                                 

 

Edit: Indian counted 291

Who is "they" ?

 

Won't know for sure till the Oct 14 deadline for schools that opt to go or stay DII. 

After that the privates that stay DI will have their enrollment multiplied by 1.8.

Then the TSSAA will divide the DI teams evenly across 6 classifications.

 

The TSSAA

That's not from the TSSAA so its not official.  There very well could be 50 teams per class but we won't know that until Oct 14. That's the deadline for teams opting to go DII or DI.  If we don't know how many schools are playing DI then we really don't know how many are in each class. 

 

Now for DII they already have the enrollment break points set. DII schools will not be divided equally among their 3 classifications.  DII A enrollment is 1-265.  DII AA is 266-530. DII AAA is 531 and above.

You're right....I know this summer they decided to have 50 but you are correct it has changed to them distributing D1 evenly....As of right now there are 311 schools in D1 if you go by the classifications for this year, however, that is including the independent schools...so lets say that all of the 311 stay, that will end up being 51.8 schools per classification so lets just say 52....TSSAA is predicting about 16 of the 24 independent schools to change over to DII, so lets say that 16 switch to D2, then that is 295 total, which is about 49-50 schools per classification....but then there is also a couple of schools that will be starting to play football...so i would say 50 per classification is a pretty good estimate...

looking at the current enrollment numbers what 5A teams make the jump to 6A in yalls opinion or too early to tell? 

 

Too early to tell at the moment. If you want a place to start here's a link of the last enrollment count before this one. A rough estimate would be the next 16-18 largest in 5A from this list.

    • Lee would have been a good choice, also.  I'm sure Benny was involved with the decision.  
    • Personally I was pulling for Lee Hammonds to get another shot. He’s earned it! 
    • Tyler Williams was the logical choice to be named head football. He served as the Highlanders’ strength coach and offensive coordinator.
    • I went to practice yesterday and liked what I saw for the most part. Derek and crew have done a good job during the off-season. I was very impressed with the size of some of those boys on the offensive line. My only regret was one of the boys I was really pulling for to have a good year was dismissed from the team. I have to applaud the coaches for setting examples for the others, no one is bigger than the team. One other thing, I was hoping with that big rain we got this week some of that  yellow paint would dissolve but it didn't.  
    • Couple of thoughts: 1.  I just don't understand all the intricacies in TSSAA transfer rules anymore.    William Blount had a kid that played the final part of the basketball season with them this year,  that played at Hardin Valley last year, and played football for Bearden this year.  I say that to say, I know the coaches and the AD and the Principal at WB and I will never believe they would do something they knew was wrong.  They are men of character.  I BELIEVE the same thing about the coaches and administration at Maryville.  Call me gullible, but these are men and women of integrity in my experiences with them. 2.  Much like the transfer of the Clemmer kid a couple of years ago, with Smith, the football team is getting a huge boost, but the impact on the basketball team will be just as great or maybe even greater.  With Smith playing post, it frees the Sigmund kid who will be coming back from injury, to play more with his face to the basket.  The Rebels basketball squad in my mind, will be "the program" in East Tennessee next year.
