Can't say I blame him if he wants to have any shot of winning games or playing in Big Games.  Kid already has 6 D1 offers from Louisville, Miami (OH), Western Michigan, UNLV, Colorado, and San Diego State

Saw him in person. Big physical presence, great hands, good speed. He will do a great job at Betsy. It will be different though. He probably won’t have as many receptions because Betsy is balanced. He will also upgrade his blocking ability and will physically improve. A much tougher schedule as well. He is probably improving his chips all the way around.

He definitely would get playing time this year for the Mavs.

We must of been at the same homecoming game this year coach because I saw him against Greeneville too.  I felt the same way about him. Good Speed and Hands being more like a Kelce type of TE than a Witten type that could block great also.  SE just didn’t have time to let the QB get it to him against the better teams like Greeneville, Betsy, or the Mavs in the first round.
 

 I think he will do great for Betsy and sure wouldn’t have turned him down if he wanted to drive a little farther west and come to Greeneville:lol:

This is no knock to the kid honestly. How does a kid remain to play basketball at another school but He's allowed to participate 7 on 7 at another school? This is no dig but I'm curious . I'm sure Elizabethton has a loop hole with labeling anything they do out of season Witten huddle but how does someone that is on staff volunteer or faculty staff run a 7 on 7 with a kid that's in season in another sport

That happens more than you know. If it’s a 7 on 7 team then anyone can play for them. (Sorta like AAU basketball) and not considered practice in the TSSAA eyes or a Schools sports team. Greeneville had 5 starters on last year team that had played for Witten Huddle over the years.  I see the same thing in Knoxville on their 7 on 7 teams.  It would be on the coach of the other sport to tell the player he can’t participate in 7 vs 7 sorta like how my old baseball coach told us wouldn’t couldn’t go swimming on a game day.

You are correct again swipes, as usual. Today high school sports are almost as convoluted as college sports. If people don’t adjust, they will sink.

    • Good ole Bradley Zulliger. He was a really good QB @ OR. Fun to watch. 
    • They should be pretty good in year two for Rang.  Replacing most of the offensive production losing Dozier, Hayward and Rembert , but they're are skill kids in place ready for their shot.  I know I say this every year, but the o line should show improvement after two years in Rang and Kevin Day's weight program.  I still would favor West over Plow and OR come November.  The Rebs will have to grow up a bunch between now and then, and will probably take some lumps along the way with that schedule.  But I predict come playoff time they will be ready.   One of their coaches half joked to me that they could go 5-5 regular season and win the state championship.  Ha ha.  
    • there will be a couple of teams,that could make some noise
    • Dyersburg may win back to back to back championships. They are going to be hands down the best 3A team. Plus their District/region/sectionals are not very good. They basically just have to make it to region out of a 5 team district that has a few decent teams. South Gibson will be okay but they graduate their best player and there is nobody in the region 7 or region 8 who is going to compete with them. 
    • I remember very well watching things change in the late 80's and yes it's all schools. Most people that are in charge today have any idea because they were raised and taught under this social experiment so they don't have a clue. Anyone that does see the truth for what it is usually try and hide it by blending in so that the School Gestapo doesn't round them up and take them to the Fuhrer ( kindly putting it ). Yes it is all schools not just Maryville. This train ride is not headed in a good direction and if the public had seen a movie of what's happening now back in 1980 everyone would have been headed home afterwards to change underware.
