I know this is a high school football forum but I'm going to post this story from the CA about Matthew Murrell.

The Commercial Appeal: Whitehaven's Murrell to transfer to IMG Academy

https://www.commercialappeal.com/story/sports/high-school/2019/05/30/whitehavens-matthew-murrell-transfer-img-academy/1293532001/

Whitehaven's Matthew Murrell, the state's No. 2 prospect, announced on Twitter  that he will transfer to IMG Academy for his senior season.

Murrell is also the No. 85 prospect in the nation for the Class of 2020, according to the 247Sports composite.

The four-star junior guard said that IMG Academy assistant coach Trey Draper reached out to him a few months ago. Draper is a Memphis native and a former Memphis Tigers guard who played at Mitchell.

The decision comes 10 days after Vanderbilt announced that it hired Murrell's high school coach, Faragi Phillips, to join Jerry Stackhouse's staff. Murrell said Phillips' departure played a role in his decision to transfer.

"He’s been coaching me all my life and I wanted to play a very competitive schedule this year and I knew that IMG was going to provide that for me," said Murrell.

When asked if Phillips' addition to the Vanderbilt staff made the Commodores more competitive in his recruitment, he said a little bit, but "not really."

"They were competitive anyway, they play in the SEC, one of the toughest conferences in the NCAA," said Murrell.

Murrell holds offers from Vanderbilt, Memphis, Tennessee, Ole Miss, North Carolina State and Florida, among others. He led Whitehaven to the Class AAA semifinals this season.

    • Yea I agree I will say tho I was a big “ v “ fan if an  opening ever did happen I think it would’ve been good to see him have a shot coming from a power house like Oakland. I’m sure he’s learned a lot from Kevin.  I bet he would bring a really good offense scheme IMO But after all this I just dunno anymore.  Whatever happens with the rumors an such if it did come to and opening I think this messes it all up.  The board members dreams are slowly slipping away now. I haven’t lived there for awhile I just hear what I hear, but my question is would there be any good potential candidates?? That’s why I don’t understand why people want b s out so bad who else could do any better ?? IMO there’s nothing attractive about it? As I stated earlier I went to the last game last year and taking a leak in a porta Potty is pretty sad and still nothing being done they say .. 
    • I have a sophomore that can do 177 (preferred) or 192. Sent you an email.
    • speaking of board members how can a man get arrested 12 days ago and still be head coaching a team in TC school system? looks like your right about the tc board members. I bet it would be different if they had a kid on the team
