2019 - 2020 8AA


Recommended Posts

Kauffman (I’m sure I misspelled that) could draw a foul any time she wanted to drive to the rim. Ferrell had two early fouls and was guarding her. I just feel like the coach doesn’t recognize these situations and take advantage...even if Ferrell isn’t scoring for us that’s still another decent defender and ball handler on the bench if you get her in foul trouble. 


Again, coaching won that game for us. Just my humble opinion.

I’ve heard through the last few years people talk about the talent that Cannon has had but they haven’t even made it out of the district and not even had winning seasons. Where’s the tons of talent at 6aaabasketball? 

In my opinion they HAVE had talent and underperformed. When they first came to Smithville and I realized who all they had returning I thought our little winning streak over them was toast.

I think their coach should of been fired last year and they let him waste that group of seniors this year if he stays there he has got some long seasons coming up with not near the talent level and poor coaching combined not a good combination to be very successful

Lady cavs fan I said I heard they have talent. I never said they didn’t. But what I can’t understand is If they have all that talent then why in the world have they not made it to the region since those girls have been there? This doesn’t make any sense. They have 4 girls going to play college ball and can’t do any better than that in high school? That’s absolutely crazy.

Yep I don’t think anyone at CC will disagree with you.  But talent isn’t what you should question.  What is the real reason?  I watched them play this summer in AAU and they played great.

Not trying to be disrespectful but just because those players are going on to play at the next level doesn’t mean a lot, especially at the schools you named. Roane State signs a lot of players that are average, Bryan signs some and puts them on their practice team. Not saying those players are not good just doesn’t mean as much anymore. All around the money.

I hope you have seen them play before making this statement.  That’s pretty disrespectful to the players and to the college coaches.  If you want to continue to play basketball after high school, I can assure you that it means ALOT to those players.  Most of those players had offers to multiple schools.   You can talk about the college teams if you want but you shouldn’t discredit the accomplishments of these players or any player that gets a chance to do something they love at the next level.  It isn’t as easy as you make it sound.  And there will be many players that never get that chance.   :angry:

Totally not meant the way you’re taking it, I’m sure those girls are good players, I’m just saying just because you have 3 or 4 players going to the next level doesn’t mean you will win at the high school level.

Not everyone can go to UT or UConn. Cannon had talent (all of them made the 2nd or 3rd all district team in a district with 2 miss Basketball finalists) but never got to a Regional Tournament. It shows the strength of District 8AA. As I said they went 12-2 and beat some very good teams. At least 6 teams in 8AA could win 7AA with ease.

    • 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.
