First, I am going to start by saying this thread is about to take off!!! 

All Knox County Schools recruit to some degree, "HATE TO BREAK THE NEWS"! This starts by the schools themselves with alumni and community, next the high school coaches, then the youth organizations, and work all the way down into church.

List of Knox County "PUBLIC SCHOOLS"- No, exact order, but if I had to make a list! 

  1. Powell 
  2. Central 
  3. Fulton
  4. Austin- East
  5. Bearden
  6. South- Doyle**  
  7. Farragut**
  8. West**
  9. Halls**
  10. Gibbs**
  11. Carter**
  12. Hardin Valley** 
  13. Karns 

**Subject to change

Correct!

I definitely agree with your top four in order for ranking (this year).

Sometime those top four leap frog over each other.

I also agree with the bottom 3 or 4 of your list as to their ranking.

What would happen if Knox County Schools hard zoned their schools so that students in a particular area HAD to go to the school they are zoned for?

I seriously think you forgot one. "THE KIDS". Serious question. Why would kids today choose the top 4 over the bottom 4?

I am going to say this for the last time, I agree all schools recruit in some way, shape, form, or fashion. A kid that chooses a school upon entering 9th grade, I have zero issue with. A kid who transfers for athletic purposes I do have an issue with. I also have an issue with certain schools having open access to middle schools that feed multiple high schools on a weekly basis. Again, all that happens is the student athletes get punished and nothing ever happens to the adults. Ridiculous really. If Fulton were caught doing something illegal, we should be punished.

I have 0 issues with kids entering into a school of their and their parents choosing in 9th grade. Obviously I think most people would have an issue of a kid transferring for athletic purposes, but if a parent has a bona fide change of address there isn't anything that can be done.

 

I don't live or have kids in knoxville so I can't really comment on the whole middle school situation.

Agree, 

Everyone does recruit. I do not get mad if a kid wants to play somewhere due to the coach, school, or friends even if it is Athletic Base minded "lets be real most of the time it is" if this was not the case the kid would pick or stay accordingly. High School kids choose their college careers the same way.

Problem is right now with Knox County is that we have Middle School Zones overlapping High School Zones. If I was smart, I believe this is problem (A) 

Maybe it is time to just have open enrollment throughout the county, like Sevier County.

There are certain Middle Schools in Knox County that feed to different high schools depending on where you live at.  Ex. Norwood Middle is zoned for Central, Powell,  and Fulton High School depending on your address for High School.

And when specific coaches are allowed in with open arms, while others are not, there is a problem.

    • 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.
