I won’t post in this thread anymore as it’s off topic but how is that you know that these people aren’t moving and being compliant? If you have some evidence submit it to the TSSAA otherwise you are just speculating. Memphis isn’t the only place where players change teams. 

Did you not understand that they don’t get penalized for changing teams 4 times in 4 years if they want too and it happens every year!  The thing is TSSAA doesn’t investigate it….they won’t for whatever reason because They have to know. Especially after Penny and the Memphis East thing. I don’t understand why they don’t change the transfer rules to suit every team instead of one county. If MASE doesn’t win multiple championships in single A it will be a total choke job and they will just reload the next year.

It’s not like it’s one or two kids it was half their starting offense and defense. Maybe this will open TSSAA eyes when every single A team that plays them in games that matter late in the season are going to raise Caine, because it’s not fair and I don’t know how you can’t see that!

So your problem is people there have options? Rural people move. Kids switch schools. Seems to happen every where. Charter schools are plague on the public school system diverting funds that could be used to improve the existing schools. Those kids and parents deserve better and I hope they are getting better at MASE but unless you know of some impropriety by Coach Miller why shouldn’t he be working at MASE?

I disagree with any notion coach miller should be investigated or anything like that. From everything I've heard he's a class act and I think his son reflected that quite a bit. The only questions I have on the matter is how many new kids actually made their way to MASE? Also, I'll admit ignorance on the rule but does tssaa still practice the rule where if your enrollment increases a certain percentage you're automatically moved up? Finally does the number of kids meet that percentage threshold? Otherwise play ball and there will be nothing tainted about it.

My question would be is this the closest school to the one closed.And is the whole school that closed going to Mase or they have their choice to to to other schools  but maybe Mase hired this coach to get the players?

If USJ shut their doors down, where would the kids want to go? Would they go to North Side (closest public school to USJ in Jackson)? Or would they want to go to Trinity or JCS? I'm sure they would want to go to Trinity or JCS. Is that a problem? Is that a big deal?

This is similar. A school shut down because someone that is considered a "leader" stole money for personal reasons. Things like an out of town trip to Vegas, NBA tickets, personal use, etc. Is it fair to the kids for the school to shut down? No. Is it fair for Coach Miller to have to find a new school? No.

There's a lot of speculation. I was fortunate enough to spend some time with Coach Miller last season. He goes above and beyond for his players, and he has nothing. No turf field, he doesn't have two sets of home uniforms like South Gibson. I don't even think they had decals on their helmets at MAHS. He also does a very good job of developing players, and making sure they're attending camps and getting recruited by colleges. Why? Because for those players, Coach Miller is pretty much all they have. That's is their role model. So, if he is at MASE, I'm glad for him and know he'll do well! Again, where would all the MAHS players going to go? They had an option. MASE had an opening. If you're the principal at MASE, are you going to deny the option of hiring Cedric Miller? Of course not. His resume at MAHS speaks for itself.

I was working in Dyer last year and noticed some Peabody signs out in some yards. I do understand the weird rules for Gibson County schools, and the difference between Peabody and Gibson County especially. But it did bother me that a kid could be living at a house (again, not for sure but there were signs in the yard) that's a mile away from Gibson County High School, but choose to attend Peabody. Instead of complaining about it on CoachT, I just asked why? I'd imagine the education between both schools are great, but that kid choose Peabody probably for a better opportunity in football.

This isn't some kid going from Ridgeway to Melrose because he wanted to. This is about a kid that is forced to attend another school. So, would you want to that kid to stick with Coach Miller, be successful on the field and hope to get a scholarship to a university to play football? Potentially getting out of the city of Memphis (which is a tough thing to do these days for black people in general). Or would you want to see this kid attend another school that may not be the best opportunity for him? Football wise and potentially not having the leader like a Coach Miller? Because Cedric Miller is more than a football to those kids. And those kids need him.

Good night for football. The weather (esp for 8/5) was perfect. Peabody has made some nice upgrades to al already great facility. It was good experience to play a scrimmage with refs, downs, and a clock. I thought the teams were well matched. Both were big and experienced in the trenches. Both teams gave up big plays that led to most of the scores. USJ lost a 3x all state kicker and the young replacements looked promising. Peabody is still looking for a kicker, and those PATs were the difference in the game. 

Best of luck to the Golden Tide in the upcoming season. Here's to hoping we are both still playing when Thanksgiving comes around!

I'd think the TSSAA have them like most schools go to closest school zone.Not to go to any school they want as a team.Unless the whole school is having to go there.In that case,I'd think the enrollment numbers would jump up.And if a school like Humboldt were to close,I'd think if Milan was closest,they'd go there.Ive never liked TSSAA letting players go to other schools,even as Freshmen just cause mommy and Daddy thinks it's a bigger school.Thats fine if they want to go there thst bad.But move there or sit a year no matter what.Its cost LC a couple state titles.But LC plays pretty well with what they have.
