If she gets kicked off her summer ball team...let me know I doubt she will be...some coaches just have problems with kids for some reason

I heard she can rip the cover off a softball. The Weeklys can help her to mature.

She can...Rest assured there are 50 worthy recruits the Weeklys have to choose from if need be.

Not the top recruits...Most of the top schools have their 2016 class done that's how far in advance some schools are

I have an idea. How about we let Ralph and Karen, who are extremely sensitive to chemistry issues caused by whiny power hitters that ruin seasons *cough*2011*cough*, decide whether or not this is a big deal?

Back in the day, we strongly considered transferring to Maryville or to Oak Ridge (that one would have been a reach.) We lived in Knox County.

The only requirement would have been to pay out-of-county tuition. It might well be different now, as this was 12-15 years ago.

All I'm saying is if that is the case, how is that different from a Division 1 private school )which cannot give financial aid to athletes), other than the private school kids are not subsidized by any taxpayer dollars and thus must pay far more tuition. The Division 1 private schools are subject to a multiplier, whereby their tuition is multiplied by 1.7 to determine the classification in which they play. If the publics have absolutely no zones, treating the privates differently makes no sense to me.

I don't know if it's still the same, but several years after the public schools forced the private schools into a separate division (mostly due to the fallout from Brentwood Academy), it split into privates that did not give financial aid to athletes, who could then play public schools, and the others, who then had to travel ridiculous distances to play similar schools. Is that still the case?

The real-world fallout from this was that since so many private schools do give some sort of financial aid to students (for lots of different reasons, not just to build up a team), the choice wound up being spend a fortune on travel or cut financial aid to everyone. Thanks, Brentwood...

So she must not have been a problem somewhere else - I guess --- I know who you are talking about -- just wondering why her name isnt being posted ?

She's doing well with her travel team that is loaded with D-1 talent including players committed to UT, Bama, Miss State and Kentucky. I would have to look at the coaches for her HS team.

It was probably me. Someone posted just a few days ago about her BA. I was interested, so I googled it, saw the articles. Didn't know it was old news. I didn't pay attention to the dates. Sorry...as mentioned old news.
