Hey, Mean Ole Cuss. How’s it going?

Slowly........staying close to home to keep away from that Mexican Beer virus.  LOL

Also Rankin is at Alcoa and NOT Maryville. 

The secret of Maryville's success was a firm foundation being built by a wonderful Coach named Quarles.  Current Coach is smart enough to carry on that tradition. 

In all the years I have been on this board I have never heard a 'credible' rumor as to Maryville and recruiting.  Folks make them all the time, but when it comes down to it they have no proof that it was done.

As to Rankin, I have seen it up close and personal at R'dale when he was there.  Helps when the school Superintendent and the head of the T$$AA cover ones butt also.

If your friend wants to REALLY know, look up the threads about Rankin at Riverdale prior to 2005.  While my son started all 4 years at R'dale it is NO SECRET I am NOT a Rankin fan.  Respect his coaching ability, but not how he gets 'some' of his players and how he treats them.

If #1 wants to leave that dump I'll adopt him and feed him steak dinners from now through Christmas.  

 

After that though he's on his own....

Nothing against you, but that sounds like Rankin recruiting with the exception HE does not feed the steak.  NOTHING comes out of his pocket.  That is what a wealthy booster is for......and apartments......a job for Dad or Mom...........

End of the Senior season, then its sorry kid, you are own your own!

NCAA clearing house, whats that?

Grades?  Don't worry about them during the season.........I'll talk to your teacher..........

What do you mean your hurt?  Talk to the trainer.......he will give you a shot to make it feel better........

TOO MANY BAD MEMORIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rankin has a coaching tree with a bunch of branches.  I wonder if any of his former coaches will get on here and verify your claims?

[Raider1234]

know a lot of his ex-players and a lot of them coach now, not ever heard a negative story about any of that, now I am not saying lost old dad is wrong or calling him out. I have friends that played for the man during Riverdale years and never heard any negativity. Again let me say I am not saying Lost old dad is wrong or spreading rumors, just answering a question on the subject.

So you let your son play for him for 4 years, but now he is the worst thing for football and the players - why didn’t you pull your son back then? Did you not see it while he was there or did you not know how to get out of the situation? Just curious

Rankin has done a great job at Alcoa. He don't put up with any bull and some people have a hard time with that is the only negative I've ever heard. He is all business.

Not that I know of, but if any did I would say it would probably be a DE or a WR....may even be another QB since the one supposedly transferring in will be a year ahead of the current one, never can tell what is in the works....
