Sign with those three and go Juco or sign with TSU and play right away. I'm not bashing the kid at all...if he keeps his head straight and works hard he'll make a name for himself at TSU. As for David and his father I wish nothing but the best...I love seeing kids from my hometown going to the big schools which brings me back to my point. Grades. If you haven't grown up there, played sports there, graduated from there then I don't think your qualified to make judgements. South Pittsburg as small as it is student wise, still manages to put good athletes on the field but the history of the school is not moving them on to the next level. That's just a fact. I'll say no more.

Since you made a screen name to just bash South Pittsburg says everything about what you are trying to accomplish..I will not repeat myself with what was already stated..I am from the Chattanooga area, I watch the kid play in the all star game at Finley..He is not D-1 and did not get any serious looks from any D-1 school..Tenn Tech and Tenn State was all that offered..He was pretty good with grades and never had any issues there.. I am sure you will say the same thing about David Jones throughout the season till he rushes for 1000 yards against the other valley schools down there or he signs with a big school..The kid is at the stage Moore was at this stage just not as much hype.. From what I have been told he is not quite as big or tall as Moore yet but a step quicker..Im pretty sure someone also said he makes straight A's so that cant hurt either..

I resent that...

....I dont hate them cause there the best I hate then cause Im from Marion County were supposed to hate each other.....Best of luck to Mr.Jones I played a lil game of pick up wit him one time hes a hell of a athlete....

grew up in SP and played ball there, am personally acquainted with all those players you mentioned...and many more. Pound for pound Jimmy Wigfall was the best high school player I EVER saw. No exception! Not only has SPHS produced some great athletes but exceptional students as well. Perhaps you forget that Jim Beene, a SPHS grad who played tailback for Sewanee, was also a Rhodes Scholar. My brother was also a good player there(with an offer from Alabama) and he became a nuclear engineer. So, to suggest that SPHS is not academically up to par is unfortunate. It would greatly please me if David Jones becomes a Vol! South Pittsburg's football season last year was amazing!!!

kenny wasnt given a mustang nor was his dad given a job .. he was given a camaro and his mom a house... and david wants to go to Tennessee...

vols_are_champs · 07-25-2008, 06:14 PM

Lets get him here then

Midfielder10 · 07-25-2008, 06:31 PM

is he SEC caliber tho

Geno · 07-25-2008, 06:38 PM

David is very close to breaking a few weight lifting Records at this School... bench's well over 400 lbs. look at the youtube video... he did all that last year with a ankle injury, anyone that can play like that with a injury needs to be a vol.. and No Robinson did not have the grades..I am David's neighbor and I truly believe he is a human high light film, a very humble kid and a very proud dad.. we need more dad's like David's Dad... david can cut in open field like nobody.. this whole last year in south pittsburgs dominance I only saw David tackled by one person a cpl times.. watch the David Jones video on You tube.. he drags guys down the field. I'm telling you watch out for david his stock seems to be going up as the season begins.. Id say before the 3rd game is over he will be the Top prospect in many ways

vols_are_champs · 07-25-2008, 06:51 PM

Sounds good

Tennessee Golfer · 07-25-2008, 08:27 PM

Just watched the youtube video and he is a very powerful runner. He could be a great power back. The first guy never brought him down. I would love to see a kid like him in orange.

I'm going to have to strongly disagree with you on the job thing. A family member of mine grew up with Kenny Smith and I believe him. I may have said the incorrect redneck car, but whatever.

well thats good to know BUT.. I ran around with Kenny and it had nothing to do with Alabama it was North jackson booster that gave his MOM a house and him a car the dad stayed in jasper.. they seperated..

The Dude · 07-26-2008, 03:26 PM

Ha ha, yeah, I bet it had nothing at all to do with UAT, sure. They gave him cars and homes for one year of high school. Okay.
