You really seem to have a vendetta against this kid.

NO!!  I have a problem with her parents allowing her to just quit a team mid season because she wasn't happy with the circumstances.  What is that teaching her? She hurt the team and herself and college coaches will see the same thing.  It's not the kids fault- it's the parents.

That would probably make her elgible, IMO. If it is the player that had the great state last year I hate it for you. The Walker kid got an uncle from Gibson County? I know there is a Walker man from Gibson County that has a neice playing ball for Bradley.

It would have to be on her moms side. The entire Walker family is from White County. Her Uncle Brad played for the 1998 State Champion boys team. He still attends most games here in Sparta.

Her parents are the ones that wanted her to go. Mer didn’t want to leave. So what I would suggest to you, is stop talking about the kid, and go tell her parents what u think. And id guarantee you wouldn’t talk to her dad like you have on this thread

Sounds like Grandma has been caring for her. College coaches get paid to win. Kinda gross the hate you have for this girl. You said she is not the best and Bradley will be fine. So just wish her the best and move on.

I have not talked about the kid- I have stated numerous times that this move will hurt the team!!! And I just stated that I totally blame the parents.  Forcing a kid to quit mid season? And she wanted to stay at Bradley? Bet that I wouldn't tell him exactly what I am saying now- he is killing his kid.  There is no way that anyone sees this as the right thing to do.  When she gets a job and she doesnt like that her boss makes her work overtime - what is she going to do?  Walk out.  you can't teach your kids that it is okay to walk away when things dont go your way.  If you are telling me that her family forced her to quit on an entire team- that is beyond ridiculous.

The man from Gibson County is a Walker but Walker is a real popular name. We talked at Outback in Jackson and he told me about her. His wife was with him. Could be her niece and could be a different name. She is supposed to be very active in AAU and a good player.

Tell him how you feel face to face. If ur close to the Bradley team then you know who he is. Old football teammate of mine. I’m sure he would be glad to tell you his reason from making her quit

    • 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.
