Commitment is a non-issue - college scouts look for talent. Talent alone!

Yep. A good percentage of the top D1 recruits in the country might switch schools multiple times.

Or all the Kentucky kids going to Pound and Clintwood.

You know I am messing with you.

Although there are some that goes to Pound I just made up the Clintwood part.

LOL Ky kids go to Pound?

I don't know of any that's came from KY, but they've got two from Pound right now and Derick Robbins was from Ervinton. If my memory is correct, the qb from Haysi is from Clintwood.

i didnt mean it to be negative on him or hs football. I just think that if a player wanted to switch schools within the same county that it shouldnt be that big of a deal. I could see it upsetting a few. Maybe its just me.

I live in the area that the kids here go to Gate City but have two daughters enrolled at Duffield(Rye Cove). But I am buying a house in Yuma and will be sending them to Yuma(Gate City). I think a lot of the ones from TN are the one whos parents actually went to Gate City but are living in TN. We do occasionaly get one here and there that just decided to come to GC for more playing time. But they come from other schools in the county and some from Lee and Wise. I think our Freshman QB may be from Lee County but moved over here. It happens and sometimes I am glad it does.
