Thanks for the feedback.   And I agree.  You never know who will or won't show up when you get to this time of the year.  It's a new season!

Friend, I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in any assessment that joker has to give. He predicted UH losing to the 10 win #4 seed from district 2 because "they just might be a better team than UH."

On a serious note, if a shooting team with no experience in the Murphy Center comes up against a larger team in the first round, I'll always pick the big boys. Shots just do not fall for inexperienced gaurds in that building.

Thanks.  We have the big man in the middle but our guards and forwards can also run.  We are well balanced.

This just shows the difference in caliber in basketball on the ends of the state. It's a whole different show out west. Columbia, Humboldt, and Fayetteville would destroy any AAA school in the NE corner of the state.

 

Then you would've been blown away watching the 1A Memphis Mitchell teams of 2013 thru 15/16. They did handle the AAA teams

Thats an ignorant comment.  I can guarantee you they wouldn't destroy DB who got put out by Bearden in the sectionals by 6.  When did Columbia and Fayetteville become west Tn?

I said out west. Anything west of the tri-city region. If you don't think Humboldt or Columbia academy would easily handle DB or Science Hill then you should leave the house some more. DB got put out out by Sevier County and they in turn got humiliated by Whitehaven. I've lived half my life at one end of the state and the other half on the other end and I can tell you from a talent standpoint it's not even close. Take away the 90s Science Hill teams and what have you got? What about the last time DB played Clarksville in Murfreesboro. If I remember right I think they set the record for largest margin of defeat. These single A schools in middle and west to play these AAA schools from Jackson and Memphis in camps and tournaments and hold their own.

Please refer to your first comment.  You stated the ends of the State which would be NE TN and  NW or SW Tennessee which is not middle.  I've never heard middle tn referred being out west in NE TN.  Out west in NE tn is West TN. (Thats like me saying i'm going to take a vacation out west and then go to Gatlinburg since its west of the tri-cities)  DB did not get put out by Sevier Co (yes they lost to them) but got put out by Bearden at Bearden by 6 like I stated earlier in the substate.  I'm guessing you think Columbia, Fayetteville, and Humbolt would destroy Bearden too....

    • Lol! I was being a bit facetious. 
    • 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.
