'22 TN DT Walter Nolen (Ole Miss)

They will never produce consistent talent the way the program is ran.

Maryville football is taught from basically before middle school all the way to high school all the coaches run similar schemes.

So, kids start early and how are you truly supposed to grow in a system that never changes from pee wee ball all the way to High school? I mean you probably drive off half your talent just because they aren’t developed early on and possibly give up on football.

Just saying their system is just that a system. It makes them a winning program but doesn’t promote a lot of extra talent.
Maryville and Alcoa recruit players from around the area. A school or two in Kingsport also recruit players from their area. However, they do not recruit players from California and the Mid West the way some schools in Georgia do.
 
It really helps when our "fans" get on here and criticize one of the best recruits right in our backyard. Good gosh, our fan base has some real bright individuals. Same one's that will gripe the most when we don't recruit at the level they expect.
Nothing about them gives them that title. Trolls

I had a fifth grade student call me a douche one year "joking"around because that's what his friends called each other. We had a little talk then I had a talk with his mom. She explained to him what a douche was. Ha. Mortified young man never called anyone else that...at least within my earshot. 😛
 
Nobody has denied that. He's the best player in the country who didn't go through summer workouts. He'll be in shape shortly, and no one will be talking about this anymore.
I listened to Swain’s podcast last night and he echoed my statement. Also questioned his dedication by spending all offseason traveling to IMG and other schools and not working out enough.

Kid just turned 17 and he is suppose to be John Henderson now, smh tragic. For the ones that have said anything regarding how he plays after a couple games, y’all mfs trash.

I agree with everything you said except the last statement. People are trash for making observations? You sound like a politician, can’t handle any criticism about your party.

The dude is awesome but no one is above criticism

There's a reasonable limit. Some on here seem to routinely cross it, and frequently involves trashing our players and recruits. He's out of shape, fine. He hasn't played (so far) up to his ranking, fine. When it wanders over into some of the other stuff, they need to stop.

Author anonymity resembles liquid courage at times.
 
What people don't understand is .. he will get in better shape but kid moves as well as any ive seen for his size .. he has violent hands .. and remember DL in college typically play around 40 snaps a game.. and are swapped in and out to stay fresh .. he is a talent and a disprupter in trenches .
He’s the best player in state and I don’t think there’s a close second. Show me another player getting the calls Walter is.

But D1 is worried we will get excited about this and not wring our hands if a RB wants to join 10 other RBs at AL or GA.

How do you know they are UT fans?
