 I thought the city's talent level was down this year. Yes, there are a few really good players but not as strong as the past few years. 

With 4 guys this good, there are usually a lot of mid-major, high mid-major guys that are sleeping all over the place.

Well I guess you could say that it is down, sort of. The class of 2020 isn't that deep. There is Matt Murrell and that's it, as far be being high level recruits. But we all know that there is plenty of talent around. Who eles in the class of 2020 is being highly recruited?

Nobody that comes right off the top of my head. The talent seems to have started to fall off 2016-17. This year seemed to be the valley (I know Wiseman was in this class) then it's going to start climbing again next year.

It's not uncommon for it to go in cycles. Does anyone remember how talented that 2006 class was? Thaddeus Young, Willie Kemp, Wayne Chism, Brandan Wright, Tyler Smith, Jarvis Varnado. Liberty won it all.

Yeah, I remember that class, but I think the class of 96 (?) was just as talented, if not more with Tony Harris (East), Robert O'Kelly (White Station), Cory Bradford (Raleigh-Egypt), Marcus Moody (Overton), Jimmy 'Snap' Hunter (Trezevant). I think East won it that year. If I remember correctly, Tony went on the be the Freshman of the Year in the SEC, Cory was the Freshman of the Year in the Big 10 and and Robert O'Kelly went on to be the Freshman of the Year in the ACC. All three were the POY, respectively, in their senior years I believe. MM went on to have a good career at Memphis.

 I remember that class. White Station and East both made it to the state tournament.

    • The winds of change are blowing in Hartsville.     Will be an interesting follow.    Would go back to the 90s and turn black the clock!
    • Did he promise you a coordinator job or something if he ever got a head coaching job? He resigned? He was at the top of the dugout last night calling plays. I wonder if those 30+ parents would let him give their kids a ride. by the way the board meeting was last night and it was not mentioned. must have been at the work session earlier this week which is not public. must be trying to keep it quiet.  Since you know so much, how much is Robbie Atwood willing to pay Adam Cothron?  Didn't you slander Eden earlier on here? You also didn't know he was a faculty coach again so how much do you really know? Some people outside this county baffle me with their need to slander others.    
    • He resigned smh, and have you ever heard of charged but not convicted. Some people in this county baffle me with their need to slander others. Have you asked any of the 30+ parents that signed a petition to get him reinstated at the board meeting this week how they feel about this? Just let it play out, at the end of the day the only people that will bring TC back are the ones that know what its about at its core.    People hate losing and they aren't used to it at TC. I for 1, and I'm sure others too, understand having a dip in talent and not being able to compete for a state title every year. But in the past, TC teams have outworked more talented teams, they didn't continuously lose the turnover battle, they didn't commit 8+ penalties in several games each season, and I believe several of the folks in town that want Blake out feel as if he is neglecting the history of the program. This is from a source that used to be extremely close to the program (not me lol), Blake gets out of school midday and the players show up and there is no practice plan or itinerary.  I also understand those that are on team Blake, when he has loads of talent, he wins. He does know football and he is a tremendous DC, and if the rumors are true then he will do great things. As for the board member issue, it is what it is, everyone that's true to the county know that and nothing has changed. I agree though that they should strive to make the facilities as good as we can. And as far as potential candidates, I agree there is very few options. West, Vetetoe (yes I know), and couple others that could have some interest. Whatever happens is massive for the program during a pivotal time before the next big wave of stars make their way through.
