....and even sad'r....probably a Florida Gator after that......sigh.

Somebody is about to pay the $70K to send him there.   

My guesses would be Bama, Florida, or LSU.  Can't be Tennessee since you can't fit that much money in a Happy Meal box.

Chris Akporoghene comes to mind

Old regime at UT, quite possible, but I can't say one way or the other.  No way UT is doing anything like that right now with the NCAA issues still to be adjudicated.

Not likely. But NIL under the table investment by Weigels or Buddy's BBQ

I was thinking a Pilot/Flying J and Dish Network NIL deal. 

OK so think logically about it.  Were it somebody trying to point him to UT would they not want him 8 miles from Neyland Stadium rather than in Bradenton, Florida?

You want him close so that Rodney Garner can visit him as much as possible.

HTV, are you going to the Jamboree? 

Not sure at this point.  Glaucoma is much more under control, but I still have issues seeing under stadium lights and I don't drive at night these days.  Should be easier to see under the Neyland lights, however.  If my much better half doesn't have anything going on that Friday night I will probably get her to drop me off.  

And I am very much just a casual observer these days, by the way.  Haven't talked to anybody at the "local" school in probably 3 months and I only talk to a couple of coaches elsewhere these days who are still close friends.  I am retired from the high school football world.  I did take my oldest grandson to the one night Maryville youth camp last Friday and saw some old friends there.  It was good to catch up.  

Hope all is well in your world, my friend.

I don't know if anybody knows this, but Maryville accepts tuitions students. It's probably the best kept secret in East TN. You can actually, pay a fee (approximately what an average person would pay in city taxes) and go to MHS. I know it sounds crazy, but its true.    (sarcasm font) 

He is considered a legacy now.

    • 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.
