But at the end of the day the fans, the coaches, and I believe everyone wants the best possible players playing no matter what class they are in. I trust the coaches to play the right guys. To have the #1 QB in the State of Tennessee for the class of 2023 and #23 in the nation, that's hard not to play that kind of kid. 

We all love new exciting players, especially quarterbacks. I’m excited for him as well as the rest of the team. And in our defense, we’ve talked about several other players in this thread also. I hope the kid comes here and does well. I also hope whoever the best QB is, is the one that wins the job. And I have no doubt that will be the case, as it will be with all positions. With the stable of backs we have, and Odoms emerging as a superstar, the offense should be tough to stop. Losses on the OL and on defense worry me some, but I’m confident they’ll figure it out. I still say come playoff time, this will be a completely different team than what we’ll see at the start of the season. I expect to make a deep run. But I am somewhat of an optimist.

I expect a deep run also. Now how about Dante Davis returning this year as a senior to football!! I watched him at every game during jr high and he was always wowing (if that's a word) the crowd! I expect big things from him this year also!

That will be a huge addition. There will prob be a little bit of an acclimation period for him to get back used to football, but I fully expect him to help this team. I’ll tell you, it’s a good problem to have, but I don’t know how you get all these skill guys enough touches. I could see a couple of those backs get reps in the slot and wideout spots. Because there’s seriously 5-6 backs that will be deserving of carries.

I like seeing Dante Davis at WR or LB. Would love to see Joe Travis play WR and DB. Jayln Foster and Jamarcus Johnson will get majority of the reps at RB. We need guys like Jawon Odoms, Jayln Foster, Dante Davis, Joe Travis guys like that to play both ways. That way those kind of guys can make an impact whether on offense or defense.

For sure. They’re going to have to at times. The run game is going to be so very important this season (and every season but especially this season) breaking in a new QB. Nice to have so many rushers returning. Once the OL held look out!

I would love to see them go to field turf. And also maybe renovate the press box a little. We have a nice stadium, but a few minor improvements would make the facility really shine.

Adding those bleachers on the visitor side went along way.  HC has a very nice stadium and definitely one of the top ten high school destinations in the state in my opinion.

    • Way late on this post, but I do believe that I want to at least weight in so to speak lol. I wrestled NAIA competed against some of the best wrestler over all a crossed the divisions and felt great about my college wrestling experience. I think people make the mistake in believe that wrestling some how gets easier as a sport at the smaller college divisions it doesn't the training is mostly the same. I have that on good authority from a coach who was a D1 all-American. it's more the commitment level of the competitors that is different. There is talented wrestlers that can go D1 at any level in the smaller division. sub in Sammy Shires for one he would have done fine on a DI team. He chose a work life ratio that suited him. It's not about talent it's commitment are you going to make training and studying the sport the center of your world cause that's what it takes: NO MATTER HOW TALATENTED BEFORE HAND YOU ARE.  If so then D1 is for you and striving for success at that level is for you like Mr. Palmer said it's what your willing to put in. Now coaches if you have a successful wrestler who fits that bill then by all means D1 is a great option they will see some success no matter how small, but if they are not that committed along with being talented and a killer and you know it then your doing them wrong.  You don't have to tell athletes that you don't think they are D1 tell them to keep their options open to take all their visits to consider all the divisions regardless of their goals. college recruiting visits have you most times wrestle against their current wrestlers coaches and athletes  will find out real quick it's not easy no matter where you go. That way when they make their decision it's a sound one that's based on well rounded experiences.     BobCorker, and oceansize42 I believe what you are thinking is correct but for different reasons. TN wrestler's have the talent... it's a commitment level change. TN wrestlers aren't used to having to put themselves through the level of commitment required and kills them on the D1 level.    WrestlingGod, I agree you should push kids to pursue their dreams, but not at the cost of common sense period... we have to much of that going around this country already. Dreams can turn to poison when these wrestler are not educated on what it truly takes. In TN  a kid who understands wrestling to a high level can be successful with small amounts of hard work. They think their definition of hard work is enough for D1 that is the mistake not the "talent/understanding".  Over-all though we do not celebrate NAIA,D2,D3, or Juco success in this state like other states do. GA/AL celebrates all it's college wrestlers success a crossed the  board no matter the division. Why? because it's hard... I have gone to all the divisions National championships let me tell you to be a all-American at any is impressive especially D2 or NAIA. those guys can scrap and not one of those AA's are an easy match. all of them were state placers or champs multiple times in their high school careers. does that at all sound easy to place at? TN does not give those guys enough credit or shout outs period. it's an over sight because of this D1 or it's less than meaningless   mentality on this site and in this state. GA/AL is better then us on the highest stage because they send guys to D2,NAIA,D3 ect. they come back understanding the sport better then their pervious coaches, and give back and that cycles to athletes readiness to go D1 with clearer understanding of what it takes to be competitive day 1 freshman year.             My post isn't to support one way or the other but to just consider that both sides have merit and that both work when the system in TN. by system I mean coaches are the better educated on preparing athletes for each level they want and should pursue.        
    • If you think McKenzie could've beat Riverside I have a bridge you might like to buy. 
    • Hate to hear Ricky is heading to the old folk's home!
    • By recruiting, I mean members of a coaching staff are talking to, meeting with, giving tours, to students, and their guardians, that are not zoned for their school.    there’s no way that many non Bearden kids just showed up all at once without being recruited. It can’t be a coincidence that all those kids also went through the middle school all star game your boss puts on every year. 
    • Not sure how I would put it as recruiting perhaps kids trying to better their career by going to a head coach and coaching staff with connections all over college football that gets them the opportunity to go play college football and be coached by a coach with a pretty good track record.
