Are these private schools? Public school highschool football blows. It's like the rich dads kid at QB and the other rich parents kid at RB on just about every team.

Usually a team full of scrubs with like one d1 athlete dominating lol.

Trinity is the Kentucky powerhouse.

Assuming you didn't really read what I said when I mentioned it being public schools full of scrubs. Not private power houses. Geez y'all don't read.
I read it and still don't know what you were talking about.

Private schools have something to offer these kids and they take advantage of it. Is it fair? Almost certainly not, but its the system.

I was offered a "scholarship" to a private school in high school for a sport 30 years ago, but I had so much family loyalty to the public high school, I never considered it. That private school was our most hated rival and none of us would have ever done that.

Fast forward to today and almost all of my friends from back then have their kids in that same private school. Im very disconnected from that area, so i was surprised to see some of these last names pop up. When asked, they thought I was crazy for thinking for one second they'd send their kids to the public school we all went to. Its so damn bad now, no parent in their right mind would send their kids there if they had a choice in the matter.

The Baylor QB is a 4 star that is committed to Ole Miss. They are loaded.

The massive population increase and other factors have really changed TN high school football. The talent level has really increased. Unfortunately, that only helps UT going forward.

Baylor recruits internationally, their 5-star RB is Canadian, top defender from MS, etc…

All the good players actually from Chattanooga end up on Paducah Tilghmans roster.

Are you saying that Chattanooga's homegrown talent isn't good enough for Baylor?

I’m sure they have a few, just wanted to make a Paducah Tilghman joke. Martels Carter and UofLs Jarvis Strickland are both Chattanooga kids that ended up at Tilghman, have heard there are others but don’t know the names.

I saw Baylor on their nationally televised game. DGG is an amazing talent that we are going to see at Tennessee. He’s the 1st team AA halfback.

PTHS looking very good at 3-0 with 3 blowouts.
They beat Mayfield 40-17 last Friday.
Big game tonight, at Madisonville-NH.

Think Chumlee will finally get over the hump with him?
That’s Mr. Heupel to you. He’s 5-0 against Kentucky.

Who knows. It’s gonna be fun watching DGG, Faizon Brandon, and TK Keys on offense though.

Good luck stopping Heupel’s offense.

5-0 against Mark Stools. Let's see how he does against Stein, I think our future matchups will be must see TV.

Brother, I’m being respectful. Will Stein has won zero SEC games and has never been a HC before. Focus on not being embarrassed tomorrow on national TV before you talk about Kentucky being must see TV in football.
I get it though. You’re a fan and hopeful.

I meant that as in, it’ll be 2 high octane offenses.

Here’s a report from my first hand account

DGG is legit 5 star, tremendous balance and power, takes 4-5 guys to get this rascal on ground

26 rush attempts, 316 yards, 5 TD

There were probably 12-15 D1 players total on that field tonight

Baylor 35
Trinity 27

Trinity twice had ball in Baylor territory with chance to tie in the last minute

Best 2 teams in TN and KY

Probably true. However it shouldnt be discounted there is another KY team that's going to mercy rule every team they play this season. Loaded with D1 players including the number 2 player in the country.

"Georges has committed to the University of Tennessee and — according to reporting by The Athletic — was guaranteed a three-year, $6 million deal to choose the Volunteers over Ohio State and Ole Miss."

True. That guy is awesome. He’s a game changer.

I think Trinity wins that game IF Baylor has just good RBs but they are a top flight team deserving of their top 8 national ranking.

DGG. Interesting story. Haitian descent and raised in Canada. His uncle contacted Baylor after his freshman year and he transferred to Chattanooga. Didn’t speak English! 3 years later he’s got a 6mil mil deal from UT.
Apparently talking to their fans Baylor has several of these long distance transfer ball players. Some from California. I believe their QB going to Ole Miss. Tuition is about $40,000/year.

Well coached big athletes.

Not casting stones but how does this work? Are these transfers wealthy or they get help from the school?

If I remember SGA was also a Canadian who played in Chattanooga? Is there a HS pipeline?
