WHO returns the most talent in DII A, AA, AAA? Who lost the most? Early predictions as Spring practice is right around the corner.

Spit-balling here:

A - no guess

AA - LA   -  The Mustang's backups were legit in my opinion.

AAA - MBA  -  Had a lot of juniors playing last year.  Defense should be stout.  Could also be Ensworth with the P5 receivers as well as the QB coming back.

Lost the most?  In AAA I would guess either PJP2 or McCallie.  It think the Knights O-line graduated.  If so, that could hurt!

good topic.  Im a AA guy so I will stay there.  I think CPA lost a lot and they went to 4 championships in a row.  im not sure what reloading looks like these days with the homegrown thing but I doubt they will drop off much.  

LA lost some very talented kids (sam roush, luther richesson, alex broome, koa noatala to name a few) but should have lots to reload with.  both back up QB's have college offers without ever really playing much.  hank brown should start at QB and if his efforts on the basketball court are any indication, that kid is a competitor (and a nice kid) and will do well.  jr sherill and nate spillman are back at WR and are special.  chauncy gooden and brandon solis are back on the O line.  on the D, edwin spillman, kaleb beasley, hunter high, antonio carter and brian longwell are some of the standouts returning. 

fun thing about LA is, guys like eli miller, koa and sam roush show up and are huge contributors for a year.  I think LA reloads well but we will see!

The next to last sentence says it all. They show up for a year and then go back home when ball is done.

are you saying that is a bad thing?  to be clear, some of them don't leave when the season is over and some families stay even after one kid is done with football.   I really enjoyed getting to know one of the dad's and watched all the games with him for a season.  even if he doesn't live in nashville, I still consider him a friend.

That is the thing. For the kid to be eligible he is supposed to be a full time resident with a parent or guardian unless you provide housing, which Lipscomb does not.

Lipscomb has housing available at Lipscomb University in the dorms next door to the high school. I don't know if they are using the university dorms  but it would be available

I dont know of a single kid who lives here without a parent(s) and I have no reason to think they are not following the rules.

I'm not here to bash LA for their practices, I'm honestly just curious who had the best returning talent. Keep the nay say elsewhere.

 

Did anyone have any thoughts on A or AAA?

agreed!

    • 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.
    • An FYI: To see how an opponent has done against another opponent since 2001- go to the game by clicking on one of the teams. Click the G beside the game. For example, Milan: The info will show you the previous matchups and other info.
    • All these college signees went yo other schools for 3 years, were getting college offers then transferred to Bearden. It’s not like this staff did much to develop them.    The BBall coaches son and the Seymour transfer were some of the most talented QBs in the region, and you guys developed them into QBs who might complete one pass a game.
