Grace will not win more than 3 games a season until they invest in getting athletes to visit and attend that school.  Right now they have zero interest in working with and allowing kids from certian areas and backgrounds to be a part of anything there.  Go to the Lonsdale area...go to East Knoxville and Emerald Youth and offer vouchers, scholorships, finacial aid to THOSE kids.  They WON'T.  And we all know why.

Why?

Because they don't want that type of income and dynamic in their school.  Really I shouldn't have to respond to your "why?" question...I know you are just acting dumb. 

The powers at Grace would not admit to it but I think you are right. Plus they dont want to have another ban from recruiting.

What is Grace going to do to start winning next year? Tough region for them to compete in when the "higher ups" in the school don't seem to care much about football. 

Get a guy who can develop kids. I feel bad for the kids. They had the talent but just didn’t get developed the way you need to to compete in DII. 29-16 the first 4 years of DII. 8-22 the last 3 years. Nothing has changed other than hiring Long. I wish the guy well. He was a long shot since he had no HC experience and that probably had something to do with his W-L’s.

We were winning in DII before this hire. I think it was a good guy but too much to handle. I wish him well at Fulton. As far as bringing in kids, that’s a process that has to be followed. An applicant has to apply for financial aid through an independent 3rd party to determine their financial percentage they can be given by a school. Until recently, GCA hasn’t had the ability to fund those financial aid situations. We have a good system of donors in place now that’s allowing us to reach out to the communities you mentioned and others. Diversity is a good thing and it’s good for the kids, as well. So, I agree with you, I hope we can continue to offer financial aid packages that will allow kids to attend GCA. And not just athletes, btw.

If Grace Rams do not follow the rules they will get busted again. You do not want that to happen. If they did not follow the rules they would not get away with it. It will not happen. I guarantee it. Do you want to bet me? I am Captain Guru and I approve this message.

    • 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.
