Brandon Right for sure, I played with him for 2 years and he is unbelievable. He will be getting scholarship offers from every big school by the time he is a senior. He could be one of the best to come out of the city for a while. He is only going to get better.

It's Be Right.

 

The kid is phenomenal. Thaddeous Young is a great player, and I think he might be a better all around player than Brandon Wright by the time he is a senior because:

 

1-Plays better competetion

2-Plays every position (i.e. brings the ball down the court, shoots 3's,etc)

 

I think Brandon Wright is phenomenal, when we played him a couple weeks ago he had 3 or 4 blocks on the first posession! When he is a senior he will be the best sophomore in the state, he might not be the most well rounded (heck what 7 footers are!) but he is a great player, and the sky is the limit for that kid.

Brandon Wright received more hype than anyone on this list. I have only seen him play once and he is a tremendous talent. What seperates Thad Young is his ability to play all positions. Depending on the opposing defense Young will play anywhere on the court. When we played Nat. ranked Lauringburg Acad. from Nor. Car. , because of their tall guards, Thad was moved to the point, where he scored 28 points and 11 assts. Against Hillcrest he was moved to the Shooting Guard position where he went 4-4 on 3's. We will find out the next two years when they go head to head. As Mitchell's AD, I have been in conversation with B.A. AD coach Pratt and the games should be finalized by May.

Coach Flatt, you mean.

 

Brandon Wright can play every position, too...he just doesn't because Coach Pitts doesn't believe in a one-man show. Brandon knows his role and does it very well, but that doesn't mean he couldn't perform other jobs if necessary. I remember Gomab writing in the summer that Brandon once played PG for his AAU team and was extremely effective. He has unlimited shooting range and superb ball-handling skills, giving him the ability to play anywhere on the court.

 

My vote goes to Mr. Wright.

    • 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.
