and...?

 

I know that BCS basketball has the potential to be a very good team next year. Losing no starters ( I think ) and only maybe 1-2 seniors, and having a very talented sophomore class, they should be exciting to watch and tough to play against. Trey Lampkin, Brandon Berry, Brian Moffit, Ross Tapley, Big Mike, Patrick Spach, and Co. are all very good basketball players. Their soph. class next year will be shakey unless some new players come in. Moffit is a tough guy to play against. The only thing about this team in my opinion is their intensity. It seems to flicker and they are inconsistent in giving it all on the floor. Of course, I won't be able to cheer for these guys b/c I have another team in their district that I cheer for, but I won't put them down, nor try to hype them up until season starts up. I will say however, that they should not have gone to Regionals ahead of Harding but they did it and Harding had two tough losses to State Champs Lausanne ( a(very close game that we could have won ) and a Charles Hampton lead Bishop Byrne team. Does anyone have any expectations for Harding next year? I know they lost three of their top players and will be very young, small, and not very deep but I still think they will be a very good team. With Froedden coaching them, they are bound to exceed expectations and should be a very tight-knit team. Anyone else think anything about any D2 east teams?

What do you mean Harding will exceed expectations next year? O'h you mean like they did this year. The team from this past season was loaded with talent and didn't get it done and you think they will exceed next year. From what I hear they lose most of their talent and young players are transfering out. I beleive their names are Alexander and Taylor. Whats the deal with people leaving the school? But from what I heard about whats going on over there I would leave to.

Nope. No state champs this year. Who knows, anything can happen but I've learned that you can't call anything before playoffs come. I'll admit, I was sure Harding could go to state last year but things happen and they didn't but thats life. A couple of players may be leaving but no one will know for sure untill next year unless the players themselves say they won't. Harding will have to overcome tremendous odds to be successful next year but if you look at teams Coach Froedden has had before( except for last year) talent hasn't been abundant but he has managed to be successful nonetheless. He is a great coach and most of the kids that don't play just can't handle criticism, which is the strongest way to get players better. He's not mean, he just wants a good team which is his job. But I won't shout out any obsurd preseason predictions b/c anything can happen. I mean BCS did go to Regionals so...

tcompton-

 

what exactly have you heard that would make players want to leave? if kids leave its usually cuz they cant take the heat or argue over playing time. i know coach froedden probably wouldnt tell a kid what he wants to hear, but what he needs to hear to get better. he won't baby the kids into staying. he coaches the kids hes got and does a tremendous job at it. they enjoy working hard for him and he does whats needed for them to win. the talent pool isnt tremendously deep like BCS and other schools but they do play hard which gets them along. a lot of last years problems were team chemistry it looked like. alot of the guys looked to want to look good instead of getting the Win. hopefully, without any superstars next year, the harding kids will get along and play great team ball, which is what wins games.

Yeah, and Andrew Park uses two screen names to try and back himself up. Notice the 50 in mofototo and lionfans. It's the same guy, trust me. Don't listen to him, he doesn't know what he's saying. Trust me, Andrew, you ain't cool for using two screen names, or even talking up storm about Harding being state material.

    • Deja vu all over again, 7 yrs apart. SMDH Does anybody talk to each other?
    • OK, well, that’s because two quarterbacks can’t start. That’s football 101. The main quarterback won the starting job, so he was on varsity, and the Seymour transfer did not win the starting job. He played some varsity. He was mainly junior varsity, and he balled out when healthy, so for the starting quarterback who’s been starting varsity since his freshman year, if you have any form of proof that he’s gotten worse, somehow, whether that means stats or whatnot, please feel free to share.
    • 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.
