The average state in America is 12.6% African American
Tennessee is 16.7% and their football talent is slightly above average when you look at all states
when you look at states that produce higher rates of football players than their population should allow you will see far higher concentrations of African Americans
Mississippi - 37%
Alabama - 26.2%
Louisiana - 32%
South Carolina - 27.9%
Georgia - 30.5%
it is not rocket science

Vols4us I agree. Mississippi & Alabama have a higher population of blacks than Tennessee & all three are small states population wise,with Mississippi having the highest population of blacks of any state in the nation. Florida,California,& Texas are big states with high populations & alot of blacks!!!!! The majority of blacks that are in america live in the south & thats why the SEC is so great & have been the last 6 national champs!!!!! This is why Memphis & west Tn produces more talent than the rest of the state.The state's talent is underrated. The population argument is a loser. If that was the case please explain why our neighboring states of Alabama and Mississippi produce more top talent every year.
Folks - it involves the emphasis and orientation of the kids to the sport at an earlier an age. The major states start younger with organized leagues throughout their states - not just in a couple of cities/areas. Most all of them have state sanctioned middle school programs in every school that can field a team. The S&C programs start quicker and by the time they are in HS they are well on their way to meeting their full potential.

There's no good ole boy system when it comes to football. If you're upset because you were always picked last in dodgeball, and never got to start on the football team, it's probably because you sucked.
This is a lie. My high school team lost a state championship because of the coach playing two kids that were not good enough to play. One was his nephew, and the other's mother all but black mailed coaches into playing her boy.
Tssaa is a big part of the problem. Stupid restrictions that won't allow coaches to work little Johnny too hard. We need better coaches but they have no incentive to come here. Places like D1 will help for the kids that are dedicated and can afford it.
Lol clearly those kids and your coach were terrible, how else would they have made the state championship game.........worst example ever.
Hmm. Two teams in our division went undefeated until the last game of the regular season. We beat three teams ranked in the top ten in the state, and lost in the final four by a touchdown to the team that won the state title by 20. And we won all of our games by 14 or more points.
7 of the 12 seniors went on to play college ball in some fashion. Yep, we were a bad team, all the teams we played were bad, and this is a horrible example.
You clearly don't understand the system because you've either never been in it or were too bad of a player to ever see the field and understand who was or wasn't good enough to play. Go cry in the corner until you learn that the "good ole boy system" is what runs the world. Till then say hello to the block list.

IDK what the ultimate answer to this question is, but there is one thing I will comment on. alot of ppl on here are saying all the dominate players come from West tn and West tn is better than East Tn is football. I find this hilarious since East Tn DOMINATES the State title games every year(I.E. Maryville, Aloca, Webb, And now CAK). So anyone that wants to argue this point, please be my guest.:loco:

Go back to the good ole days and the whole town shuts down and goes to the ball game.It makes the programs better it also makes the kids get better.Not enough statewide support for their teams.
TSSAA restrictions are on par with most other states, and less restrictive in a lot of cases.

Mississippi and Alabama don't put out much talent...not saying that they don't put out more than Tennessee but overall they're not one of the top states that produces
But I agree with you to a certain extent....I think it's a mixture of population and emphasis on football
Examples being Tennessee and New York...emphasis is there with Tennessee but not the population...population is there with New York but not the emphasis
