Pretty ludicrous if you ask me, but it is definitely happening.  Two Nashville area private schools have been pumping these "free camp" offers on social media since the day their seasons ended.  And worst of all, the local reporters who cover them amplify these posts by retweeting them to their feeds.  Not sure if you are talking public or private....but we (private school people) wonder why public school people don't like us and don't want to play us.

I think the biggest issue is if you are in a school district like Knox County. 28 (or so?) high schools that do not have a direct feeder system, so any of that stuff is definitely considered recruiting. But like in Kingsport both middle schools feed into the only high school in the district so shouldn’t be an issue, but I have heard that it doesn’t matter because as far as recruiting rules go TSSAA doesn’t recognize feeder schools

Knox County has 14 public high school that offer sports (13 that play football) and off the top of my head 4 privates that play football (CAK, Catholic, Grace Christian Academy, CAK), another that is bringing high school football back in Concord Christian, and a few that offer sports other than football in First Baptist Academy Powell, Berean Christian, and maybe another I am missing or two.  I know there are a couple that are not TSSAA members that offer limited sports.  

But you are correct in that the fact that Knox County has no TMSAA football playing affiliation is a big part of the issue.  And with the liberal transfer rules in Knox County it has become pretty much the wild wild West when it comes to students transferring out of zone for sports reasons and other reasons.

Any thoughts on some KCS schools contacting parents and players from outside their zone in the middle school ranks to take them on visits of the schools athletic facilities and meet the new staff?

Don't know of any partulars you are referring to, but as I have said before, every program in Knoc County plays in the margins.  Anybody pointing fingers is hypocritical.

“Every program in Knox County” is certainly a generalization. It is evident which ones are doing it and some that are beginning to do it.

Generalization or not, it's happening in every one of them.  And not that all are being done intentionally, but by the book every school plays those margins.

      And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…

      Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads.

      Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.

      After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time.

      Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
