From what I am told, Alcoa has never been an option for DJ.  

Look for him to end up at a Kentucky high school close to Lexington.  

Sheesh I guess he has no problem traveling further again, good lucks to him

The same reason everyone from Alabama left when Saban retired. I'm just waiting for official word from HTV when the black smoke at Cedar Bluff hits the sky on JJ. Will not be surprised if Alcoa don't land a couple of these kids by the fact of moving up to 4A not having such a weak schedule with district games.

Was he the Coach? Must have had a huge impact on the team.

Come on Barney.  You can do better than that.  

You are trying to change the subject, again.  

Answer the question and stop deflecting. 

And it's not my place to make any announcement. JJ jas landed, but until either he or the school choose to put out a release I'm not saying one way or the other.  But it's not a secret. I'm not the only one who is aware.

I thought I already had but must of not went through. JJ dose a great job bringing in some of the best players around but it don't set well with the other coaches or schools they came from. He won't have to worry about this going to a private school where he will be more of a fit. His biggest negative is bad decision making like the Alcoa game last year. If he ends up as head coach again he needs to surround his self with the best football minds he can find. Bearden isn't the place or really any other public school you can bring in that many players without it stepping on somebody's toes.

So. His job is to "set well" with the coaches at other schools around him?

BS07 rarely gets anything right, and I find it odd to be interjecting myself here - but can you read?

So you're saying they had a weak 3A district schedule?   I totally disagree with that.  I mean, if you want to be serious about that statement, they beat almost everybody that's in their 2025 district at least twice the last 10 years so I wouldn't say 4A will be harder than 3A it will be the same.

That's exactly what I said, they mercy ruled everyone in their district last year. By halftime everyone is headed for the gates. The big changer will be Anderson County. A couple of others may go the distance so they won't have to sell their hamburgers at a bargin price to get rid of them this year. If Alcoa gets any Bearden players which no one has confirmed yet the better for them but we do know it won't be the QB or number 2. Still some good ones left to pick from though.

Some people can read a text or something on a forum 2 diffrent ways and HTV is the master of that. All he has to do is ask other coaches in the district how they felt about Bearden, they'll tell you. If recruiting a player was compared to going out with your pole and fishing without a license Bearden over did it in most peoples opinion.
