The Commercial Appeal had an article on recruiting earlier today...

 

 

The best football player in the state is at Tyner, a magnet school, if I recall.

They can get good very fast, and when they start winning, what will the public supporters do? The accusations will start flying once again...

 

 

I can't get to the link right now, we had a huge storm come through here around 730 am or so...many people are dead or without power, including myself, I can post it later. University of Memphis shut down for the entire day. They say there is more damage than the ice storm of '94. I hope everyone around the area and state are okay...but I believe it hit Arkansas worse than us.

Tyner won the state in 1997 before they became a magnet, had 2 of the best 5 players in the state though neither did anything much in college. Being a magnet probably helped them maintain thatlevel. You'd have to compare residences before and after. Brainerd's coach did make a statement in the Chattanooga paper a couple of years ago how a lot of players at Tyner could have been at Brainerd. If that's true Tyner should be in Division II.

Indian...the point is that Tyner can get kids from all over Hamilton County. It shouldn`t even matter how good or bad they are in sports, because this certainly isn`t the criteria that was used with private schools.

Good football players come from all over the county (and maybe north Georgia) to play for one of the best coaches in the city. The school is predominately black. The coach is white. Tyner plays McCallie and Baylor every year. When Wayne Turner, Tyner's coach, is asked why, he always responds he wants to play the best. Last year for the first time ever, Tyner upset McCallie first game of the season. Wayne's a quality quy.

 

Brainerd's basketball coach complained last year that Notre Dame was getting the good players from Dalewood Middle School which as everyone knew "was Brainerd's feeder school". Guess no one told the students that they were "owned" by Brainerd. Brainerd showed Notre Dame who was boss by cancelling a 40 year+ basketball rivalry.

Players do not really come to Tyner from all over the county and especially not north Georgia. Coach Turner really doesn't care who comes to Tyner, he has never made an effort to recruit or even be nice to anyone. If anything a lot of players see his mannerism at practice and quit the team. You would have to live in the Tyner area to truly understand the school zoning. When I played there I was zoned for Tyner, now I would be zoned for Central if I was still in school. Have you ever wondered why Central's basketball team went to state the year after Tyner became a magnet school. The year before I graduated several people who lived about 5 minutes away from the school were rezoned for Ooltewah, which was about 15-20 minutes away.

      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.
