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.

    • And can you tell me who those two quarterbacks were, and every kid that was put into college from Bearden is a Bearden kid? It’s kind of why they graduated from Bearden.   and I would definitely not consider ETSU “waste”…
    • Most of this is complete gibberish. But the one part I could decipher is putting kids in college. This coaching staff hasn’t put a single Bearden kid in college. They completed wasted one of the best WRs in East TN and have ruined two talented QBs. All because they’re in over their heads. 
    • Well, I’d hope the new coaching staff thinks they are all that because they can always walk around the school, anytime they want, thinking that, especially for what they’ve done for the student athletes and the players, putting more kids in college in his first season than the old coaching staff did in numerous years combined, but we will just sweep over that because I know you don’t like facts. But trust me, nobody wanted Mr. Big britches, made the star player switch to quarterback, which is ultimately the reason he ended up transferring to play the position. He loved, but unfortunately, had to be at another school because Mr. Big Britches doesn’t like when a teenager knows more than him, but can’t expect much coming from a guy who used all class throwing pencils up into the ceiling and making fun of football kids who were failing class right to their face, and in front of numerous students, even projecting on the board most of the time.
    • After that first paragraph, I can see why you’re a TA and not a teacher. Have you made the move from South Knoxville to Bearden yet?    Maybe he left because he is an actual teacher and coach, and didn’t want to be associated with a group of foul mouthed middle school coaches who like to pretend they’re big time. 
    • Yeah and the coach is gone. Whole bizarre situation here. We played them a couple of times at MTSU last few years. She was a player for sure.
