Why are we trying to act like this is a new thing?  It's happened for years.  Has nothing to do with "the times we live in."  It's human nature.  Grass is greener, etc.

This is true, but in today’s game it has been brought to a whole other level with social media, etc. No denying that.

So Bobcat, I can see that you've posted and that's all since I have you on ignore.  I don't see your posts.  

I'm sure you've offered some real pearls of wisdom but be advised that I will never read them.  

Stop stalking me.  

Blah blah we’ve heard this crap before. You can’t see my posts but yet respond everytime I say something. Either you got another account or someone telling you what I say, either way you hear me. And just for the record, you sound like a crybaby with the last comment. I can respond or say whatever to whoever, it’s a message board.

And I’m sure it was all done legally right guys? Because we know he’d never recruit, he’s such a bright light in this dark dark world :thumb:

As long as kids get a transfer approved or they move zones it is all perfectly legal and they can play right away, except when a private school is involved.  Wish more kids would come over to the far west by Turkey Creek!  Don't hate the player, hate the game guys.  Don't be jealous when kids want to go play for a particular program/head coach.

Nah.  you're aware of it more because of social media.  That's the only difference.

Could not agree more!

Yep. And about to get even better, from what I am hearing. 

From my perch at West High,

Hearing a lot of the same, three or four QBs have transferred in from what I hear. That has been a problem over there for a while now. We benefitted this past year from a linebacker (great young man) transferring into West that had been playing out of position at Bearden as the QB.

Sometime Knox County approves a transfer and later information is found out that the transfer player was found out to be ineligible. Just because Knox County Schools approvers a transfer doesn't mean TSSAA has declared the player eligible.

Yep.  That's where a principal and AD have to do their jobs and be sure it's a legit move in to the zone.  We saw what happens when they don't a few years back in our part of the county.  

But as long as a youngster starts as a freshman at a school it doesn't matter where they actually live in Tennessee as long as it's with a parent or legal guardian, according to TSSAA rules.  They are eligible.

    • 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.
