So meeting all the Grundy players, a tour of the facilities, and dawning Grundy jerseys aint enough for you? Because I could swear that's exactly what college coaches.do with high school kids they're recruiting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t work that way in public school when a kid makes contact. I wish they’d do away with the recruiting rules all together. Schools that allow students from out of their zone to compete in athletics would fall under a 2x multiplier. That might appease the public-private and open zone folks Oh no can’t have a multiplier. Everyone has to get a trophy. Open enrollment schools have always been the problem. All privates are gone and it will still be the same schools on the playoffs.

Hellidontno Posted August 3, 2019 Report Share Posted August 3, 2019 What kills me is Schools like Watertown can do this or Cookville. It's not fair to other teams who actually use kids from there area but have to face off against team's who can load up all because there's no Zone restrictions. IT'S BS!!!!!! All Schools should be zoned if there not A PRIVATE school. I like the coach at Grundy. He, loves the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ask me it depends on the area and please don't go into the public private thing like privates don't to. I have a family member who is 16 driving his first car from a booster so him and his brother can make it back and forth to school.

Whats the back story Nothing to do with anyone on current staff.... Coach Meeks and Coach Hayworth are outstanding guys, I doubt their intentions were to recruit and if I’m wrong Id be seriously surprised......but honestly anyone who understands Grundy county at its core would be foolish to blame them if it were.... GC is probably one of the worst places in the south to grow up from an opportunities standpoint. There is I believe 1 doctor in the whole county... no hospital, no Walmart, very little industrial work, it’s as poverty stricken place as any of the worst places in rural Appalachia and of course small town politics rules the roost... This is a 3a school and yearly only suits 30-40 kids..... it has no middle school, several k-8 schools , and a religious following to their elementary basketball program. The geographical uniqueness of the area doesn’t help the situation any as some kids have to travel 30-40 minutes to the high school. The hurdles a coach at Grundy county has to overcome are enormous for the sole fact that a they have more kids who are focused merely on surviving then the entire valley combined..... The reality of life is , it’s hard to do much in life when you’re thinking about where your next meal comes from....... All that aside , they have enough athletes to be competitive in the valley yearly they just need to 1. Get out of their own way and 2. Use their unique environment to their advantage!

Then let all schools pull from wherever. And those that do will play those that do (or schools w double their enrollment)and those that don’t wont. It’s it a hard concept to grasp. It won’t happen but it’d fix the “recruiting”. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your a county school guy I can dig it. From that point of view I can see what your saying. Teams like that basically have no chance of going deep but some break off and do. I remember playing Smith county all them years and I use to chat with a few of the coaches after the game. The really didn't care about the pulling kids thing. The hated that teams like us had so much speed and there no why they could simulate something like that without driving 80+ miles a year.
