who do you think turned LA in?  They ain't going no where.

TSSAA loves the attendance at private school playoff games and they love the crowds they bring to the Blue Cross bowl. Its all about money.  Private schools should write their by laws and get out.  Make it like college.  Open recruitment a one time transfer after 1 you sit out.  Schools can pay tuition and provide housing whatever.  Whoever has the most $$$$$ wins.

So is the kid paying full tuition at Ensworth or did he get an NIL deal?

It seems like everyone in Nashville and Chattanooga knows exactly who this family is.  After doing some X analytics on players announcing their departure from David Lipscomb it’s obvious there are only 2 possibilities.  The QB Graham that is now at Riverdale, but graduating and the other is Cooper that announced he was going to Ensworth back In the spring.   I guess it’s narrowed down now.

You raise an interest question about the ability to pay for Ensworth.  As the text messages go, David Lipscomb was not renewing his financial aide.  Isn’t a clearinghouse the decision maker on the amount?  I believe Ensworth is more expensive, so how is he affording the higher price? 
 

Was this all revenge by the Dad for the school not renewing his financial aide?  With all the reported school hoping and the radio show calling Scott Cooper Mr Text Message, this must have been the family with a scarlet letter.  Don’t you know some of those Lipscomb kids are pissed and telling college coaches to flee that family.

Anywho, championships await!

Trent Diler my arse, this is ALL on this year's coaching and athletic department.  No one else.  To be transparent, most winning programs have skeletons in their closet and/or walk a fine line hoping they haven't violated the vague TSSAA guidelines.  

Check the dates on those text messages

One in the same - living vicariously through his son.  He's left a mess at every school his son has been enrolled.  Ensworth better watch out.  Sorta sad that FCA is his employer. Peek at his SM, Jesus this and Christian that.  Karma is something else.

Yes, the clearing house determines the exact amount of financial aid that a family qualifies for.  However, the school may offer 100% of the amount that a student qualifies for, or they may offer much less than what the clearing house says that the student qualifies for.  It is my understanding that there are three different clearing houses, and some are more generous with the way they calculate the aid qualified for than the other ones.  Each individual school determines which clearing house or houses they wish to use.

    • 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.
