But I feel he has stalled or even regressed. I don't know anything about his work ethic, but I always wonder about these highly-rated kids and their willingness to be the hardest worker. At this level, so many of those guys just expect to out athlete the opposition. He's certainly not a polished route runner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all about "out-athleteing" people and having swagger. This is evident with his coaches on social media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those teams had such a different attitude. He's got a few on this team that appear to have an incredible work ethic (Potts and Jayden Collins for starters), but nothing like what he had back in 2010 or 2011.

OSU, I think it is the twitter age of social media. Coaches/Players more concerned with likes on social media and being deemed "cool" than actually going out and winning ball games. Time will only tell but if he doesnt win a title this year or next... wow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as their defense continues to improve, they absolutely have the pieces to win a title in the next 2 years. They still have a LOT to prove though, especially after last season.

I totally control how Unapproved Website and 247 rank players in Tennessee. So you dog me up on side and down the other, and then suddenly you want a "truce". Bubba, I was born at night, but it wasn't last night. That ain't happening, and the quoted post is a perfect example of why it's not. Welcome to my ignore list.

I know it's hard but try not to take it personal, I have the (sometimes) unfortunate pleasure of knowing the Czar. His wife makes a killer Blueberry Cobbler and she's equally as sweet. We go to at least one Farragut game a year and eat at Sam & Andy's beforehand. He means well but he gets carried away. I'm a diehard West fan and he gives me down the road about it but he will usually pick up the bill for my Bacon Vol burger so I let it slide.

Because you are insane! HTV makes some good points. As a Maryville fan I can tell you this. 5A is basically the old 4A. I can tell you when Maryville played Powell and Central back in the 2nd and 3rd round those were harder games than what Maryville has played in the 2nd and 3rd round since they have been in 6A. From round 1 to round 3 the old 4A is every bit as good as 6A is. The biggest difference is the semifinal games in 6A. In the old 4A only in 2003 did Maryville lose a semifinal game to MOwest. The rest of the time in a 4A Semifinal Maryville rolled. Now Maryville has to deal with Oakland. Oakland is a beast. Plus Blackman in 2013 and Siegel in 2012 were great.
