Happens some but those kids rely on travel ball to get recruited and high school isn't as big of a priority. You can not really get that in football because 7v7 isn't real football

Actually the kid you're referring to lived in Oak Grove the entire time and was recruited to Columbia. When Chip left he moved back and walked to school every day he was so close. Haha. People say alot but don't realize the truth sometimes

Yeah happens all the time. Hattiesburg has several starters who went to Oak Grove in 9th grade and actually still live there. Not sure how they are eligible but my buddy that is a coach over there says they aren't really missed.

One thing I really don't think people are discussing is assistants. WC is already not just a desirable place to live unless you are already there. If they screw this up and don't hire a Head guy soon then they will not be able to get any assistants to come and on top of that if you don't get the right head guy, your not going to get quality assistants anyway. I really don't care what kind of coach the head man, the assistants and coordinators stir the drink.

Who is it

Didn't they run Kat off who is a local black man oh and also Shelton Gandy???? Two Gandy's. Two Local Men. Two Didn't work outs. Wayne County as a power is a thing of the past. Will never be seen again.

AGREED. And for those of you who are keeping up with this, the way you see this thread and how you see the board ran is exactly what the football program over there will be if they end up hiring a hometown boy that everyone thinks they have a piece of. Shoulda took a chance on an outsider quick.

Another month of twists and turns. Someone will back out or not be voted in and then the WC faithful will get their wish and Tracey will come back because nobody else will want the job. Or Reynolds

So is the committee just going to to give the BOE a couple of names and let them pick??? No possible way to make everyone happy but from what I understand the committee of Retired Coach Chapman, Basketball Coach, AD, Superintendent, and Bubba is acceptable to everyone (Minus Bubba).

Gonna get another old guy just trying to finish it up and retire I hear

Very good point. College guys are used to jumping at any opportunity and if USM calls and say come be the DC the war eagles will be looking again in 2 months.

I heard Mangum pulled his name as well last week and didn't come talk.

I would Like to know the whole list. You hear rumors and I know for sure 5 of the guys but would love to know who all is getting a meeting.

Look for a Jackson Metro Academy to upgrade at QB

Gonna say the guy at choctaw Mitchell

When are they expected to conduct interviews and name a coach

Evans would be a good hire for them if he wanted to go

Well don't leave us hanging

No. Everyone anticipates it coming open but nothing official.

Will hathorne be making the hire or is there someone at the central office pulling the strings this time?

I haven't seen a WC job posted anywhere. If Hankins leaves they will have to post is a couple of weeks unless they hire from within. Even if they do want Daryl.

I thought the job wasn't open anymore?

From the outside looking in, It looks like if someone came in with a different system that the kids could get excited about it would help. WC is still a sleeping giant that just needs someone to wake them up.

I don't see it being anyone that has been a Head man over there but could be wrong. I see a Mitch Evens, Lampley, or maybe another coordinator from one of the bigger schools around the area getting looks.
