I knew that about grades and attitude which is part of the reason i asked. Hes a great athlete though.
There are already three national level guys in Hurd, Malone, and Kelly Jr. Wharton could be one soon too. There are also five UT legacies with BCS offers in the '14 class.
That's damn impressive. Lots of folks like to claim 4.5-4.4 speed until they get their bubble busted at a camp or something. That was not in any way meant for you or your son tripper. If he threw down that time at UT's camp, it's legit. Very few people have any idea what true sub 4.6-4.7 speed really looks like. I may have seen 3 players in 15 years of coaching high school that truly had that speed. That's freakin flying. Be very proud tripper, your son is in elite company. Especially in this area. Thanks for the continued updates, bro. And congrats again. Btw, if your son is at Knox West like I saw someone post, I coached football and coach softball now in the same conference as Sullivan South. Were you there the night of the Jake Logue tragedy? I played travel league baseball with their coach at the time, Stacey Carter. He's at Science Hill now- look for them to be a factor very soon. He's a helluva coach and an even better person.
Jay that was absolutely awful. In a weird way that brought those teams together the next year. Sorry for your loss at Sully South.
Nuggets for Cardinal and others: Camion Patrick will probably be ineligible because he failed driverr's ed, never showed up for the class. Prevo got busted for weed last November still working that out if he will play. Most likely will.
I didn't know the young man, but I'm friends/acquaintances with all of their staff. I had a player killed in a car accident on his way home from practice and another in an accident in the offseason when I was the guy running the program until the new coach finished up the school year in Georgia and came to us. Those two, especially the in season loss, were indescribably awful. I couldn't imagine it happening on the field. It gets said a lot, but from talking to the staff, he really was an intelligent and an honorable young man. Terrible terrible situation. Thanks for the kind words, and let me reciprocate. The way the players, staff, and community of West responded was absolutely awesome. True class act. Thank you all for that.
Jay it's really tough losing a player on the field. We put his number in the locker room and most every player wore his number on their uniform. Had it happen before with a parent and it's awful. Appreciate the kind words Sully South will always hold a special place in my heart.
