Just curious how many kids on your roster with D1 offers or looks?  I’m just kind of curious about the top 4 teams. I know Greenback has two kids with D1 offers, SP has zero D1 kids or offers. I was told the Tipton kid has an offer somewhere small maybe like Maryville? Curious about Huntingdon and Lake County. I think the perception at times is SP has D1 athletes, but I’ve not seen one since Johnson went to Murray State back 5-6 years ago. Just wondering where others stood athletically. 

Lake County has 2 with legitimate D1 offers. They also hold offers from most of the OVC schools. I think two others have a few d2 offers. I know Ensley from Huntingdon is going to play baseball at UT. I am sure they have a few kids with some type of college offers for sports. LC normally doesn't have that. In alot of ways LC is like So. Pitt they will send a few  to small schools some years. Very rarely does a kid from LC get d1 offers.

Rumor mill has MTSU offering Mustangs Ensley in football. We've got a good number of players capable of playing small college football but probably no other D1's unless the light comes on for one of our wr's who has the size and speed, finishing 3rd in the state track meet in 100 meters..

I was told Tipton, Gamble, Pitman, Mabry, and Nelson were being recruited by small colleges. We have 0 D1 guys right now.

Small colleges, yes that’s what I figured. Any idea who exactly has an offer and from who? I haven’t heard of anything above a D3 level. Have you heard anything bigger?

Carson-Newman, Maryville, Cumberland, Centre, Bethel are the ones I've been told. Good for the young men if they want to play a few more years.

I agree there is nothing wrong with playing collegiately if the chance is given. 

That's the ultimate goal really. The wins is what everyone sees and bases the success of a coach on but getting a kid the chance to play next level whether its D1, D2 or D3 is what it's really all about. That's one thing I will praise Coach Mathis for. He's tirelessly putting video together for kids and getting into schools hands. We've had 2 or 3 go every year since he's been here. It may be a small school or a school like Saylors at ETSU but it's a chance to further an education for a young man. He's a huge reason Kennemore is at Berry. Also the Cumberland camp we had here a few weeks ago I was told an sp player got an offer. Not sure who it was or if it's true. Nelson was getting looks after his sophomore year here so he should go somewhere if he stays healthy.

Would take more to pull me away from UT baseball though.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • They’ve both gotten worse. I’ve seen enough games to know that. 
    • The only two transfers that Bearden has gotten that went on to play college football were a defensive back from Karnes, who transferred here way before the new coaching staff got here, and a running back from Carter, who went on to play at Maryville College. Both players received those offers while at Bearden, and both players got a diploma from Bearden High School. Therefore, they are Bearden kids, and you can’t do anything about that.   The transfer from Seymour didn’t win the job, what do you expect two quarterbacks to start at the same time? He played great on JV when he could stay healthy, and when he came in on varsity, he did great. The quarterback position is definitely going to be in good hands when the current starting quarterback leaves, but until then, they’re just going to be battling it out like every good quarterback competition does. The current starting quarterback has his flaws, and that is in the pass game, but what he doesn’t have flaws is running and scrambling, and if you go back and watch any game, which I’m sure you didn’t watch any, we used him very often, and when we needed a deep ball, we brought in the transfer from Seymour. The starting quarterback last year will be a senior this year, and the Seymour transfer will be a junior, so the Seymour transfer is definitely going to get his spotlight. He may even win the job this year. Football isn’t about who the newspaper thinks is the best kid. The best kid in the position will win the starting job, and I trust the coaching staff more than a newspaper or article to pick my starting QB.
    • I mean, we’ve only gotten two transfers that went on to play college football, one who went to UT Martin came his second semester junior year before the new coaching staff was here, and the other one went on to play at Maryville College, in which I don’t believe he had any interest prior to transferring.
