It's that time of year

Boy did we ever learn our lesson last year at Maryville on the transfer portal regarding a quarterback. You can't take someone out of a little Ford Ranger and throw them into a Lamborghini and give them the keys and say take off. If he had another year in the system things would have been a lot better for that young man which is a great athlete.

With NIL and the new coach the Green Wave should clean up.  How many players from other schools have they targeted?  I hear Station Camp and Beech have some good players coming up.

Comical that you think kids from Station Camp or Beech would go to Gallatin after these upcoming classes from both schools have done nothing but beat Rucker and Shafer at the middle school level and Gallatin's freshman teams. New coach has to worry about beating Station Camp first before he worries about recruiting their kids.

Reassuring that Maryville is capable of a down year at the position. I've lost count how many QBs they've had in the last 25 yrs that ended up playing FBS or FCS

The last 2:

Carson Jones currently at Furman, just finished his first season. 

Dylan Hopkins just wrapped up his career at UAB, starting the last 3 years.

We're living in the new generation where "My boy isn't going to play second fiddle to no body". Six years ago Maryville had nine quarterbacks this year they had two. They already had two and one transfers to Maryville and one quits. This will be a never ending thing with the qb position no matter what team it is. Just like college and the transfer portal, no body is going to be anyone's back up or off they go to another school. just hope the real transfer portal doesn't happen to high school football or we'll have a dozen schools using the rest as it's minor league system. Privates already play that game but when public schools do we'll be in a mess.

Cade Chambers is starting QB at Indiana State.

Yes all those QB's went through the system to learn and paid the price and wasn't just thrown in on the spot trying to learn on the job. That was the big difference this past year. Had this one went through from the start he would have been signing to play somewhere a few weeks ago because he had the ability and all the tools to do so. Had he been here his junior year you could of erased 3 of those loses off last years record.

    • 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.
