This year is an abnormally good year for Tennessee high school talent. Nashville/Middle Tennessee is getting better football every year in particular. Seems like more and more prospects are coming from the region. There are 2 top Rival prospects within 10 miles of each other in Sumner County alone in Josh Malone and Jalen Hurd.

I mean relatively speaking that's nothing. I don't know the states pop but metro ATL alone blows the state out the park.
What's the deal when it comes to TN and HS talent? I've never known. It's not like the state doesn't have any black dudes. Is bball bigger? I remember when I played in AAU tourneys there were many good Tn teams.

Yeah, basketball is pretty big. I can only speak for the Nashville area, but it has grown a lot in the past 10-15 years. I think this is the main reason Middle Tennessee is getting a little better in football. Atlanta is still 3 to 4 times the size of Nashville though.

I got ya, something else has to be another factor though.
Btw, never been to Nashville before, I've been 4 times in the past 2 months for work and that is an awesome town. Last time I went to flying saucer, while my customer overrated the servers there, there was great food and great beer selection.

The Flying Suacer is my spot, or at least, use to be my spot. Yeah the selection of waitresses is underwhelming, but there is a shite ton a great beer and the wings are awesome.

Actually went there my first time as well. Never thought I'd really enjoy a pretzel but they were the shite. Great beer selection. Might have been cause I was a little drunk, but good nonetheless.
Last time kinda sucked because I went there solo, on v day, and my company stuck me in some shitty hotel about 20 min out of town.

Most of it lower tier though.

Well, we won't know the answer to that for a couple years.
