I have a picture but I can't post because I don't believe you can on coacht anymore. But it clearly shows Garrett Bowers wrestling with Derek Harrison's Wolfpack team. Isn't this clearly a violation? You cant coach a kid in the offseason and he transfer to your team? Coaching link? If I knew how to post it, I sure would because the proof is in the pudding lol

I did not know about the Baylor kid. That is a good pick up.

foose that sounds right to me. I believe that would make him ineligible. 

 

However I also heard cleveland was getting in some transfers that might not be eligible either. 

We will see

If the family does not make a physical change of address and the student athlete is not attending a boarding school I see no way that he would be eligible to compete in athletics.  If one sibling is still living at the old address and attending the old school it would be hard to convince me that a physical change of address has taken place.

Do we not have anything better to talk about than whether kids are eligible or not? I coach at Cleveland and with Higher Calling and does losing Garrett hurt? It absolutely does but I would never wish that he wasn't eligible. I understand there are rules and that he may not be eligible but Garrett is one of the best wrestlers in the state of Tennessee by far and if you do not agree then you don't know wrestling so for that reason alone I hope he is eligible because he is fun to watch. I am all for following the rules but the fact that a bunch of grown men have to sit behind a computer and laugh that a kid might not be eligible is down right embarrassing. I would have loved for Garrett to stay in our program but things happen and it is what it is. Good luck stud.

 

If you have a problem with what I said let me know.

I am not sure that anyone has anything against the young man or his family.  What I have taken from the thread is that a few individuals may feel as if one or more rules were broken.  It's pretty simple; if the TSSAA decides to investigate, they may or may not find that the transfer rules were broken.  If the TSSAA feels as if no rules were broken they will say have a good day and leave.  In the event they feel transfer rules were broken they have the option of handing out some type of punishment or doing absolutely nothing.  My personal feelings are that the TSSAA transfer rules are antiquated and need to be revised to reflect how times have changed.  If the TSSAA would change the rules to allow a student athlete the option of transferring one time without a legal change of address it would eliminate most all of the investigations the TSSAA conducts regarding transfers.  What people fail to understand is that often times the kids need athletics much more than athletics need the kids.  The TSSAA should change the rules to reflect modern day society and to help protect the kids.

It has nothing to do with Bowers. I'd probably go out on a limb and say that he never wanted to leave Cleveland in the first place. But rules are rules and it's clearly a violation. How can anyone that follows wrestling not know that. You gotta follow the rules and if you know the rules but break them anyways because u think your above the rules (and I think y'all know who I'm talking about) then you deserve what you get.

I agree completely with following the rules and trust me I know that there are rules that were broken I'm not saying that he should get away with anything. That's not what I meant, I just don't think that we should be on here talking about the kids but just my opinion. But maybe thats what this forum is for. But I for one do not agree with the coaching link rule. Not that my opinion matters but many programs do not have a separate coach for high school and say a club team, so if they had a student athlete that wanted to move into their program but had already been coached by that coach they would automatically be ineligible which I think is wrong. But yes rules are rules and they are put in place for a reason and are made to be followed.

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game. 
    • No my fight, but ... if they were already college-caliber prior to transferring to BHS, and they already had FBS interest, and they end up at an FBS school, how did Bearden do anything for them?
