Your points are valid...
VCHS is a good school, not a football powerhouse but we did just produce a player in the NFL.
They were coming from a VERY small Christian school in Tennessee, perhaps VCHS met their needs (& a job) and looked large... just speculating.
To clarify, I said the family shopped for schools. I did not say VCHS shopped for the kid. There is a big difference and watching how the father was excessively scouting (before all of this drama) the kid all over the country (Facebook shows it all) it is beyond obvious he will do anything to get the kid exposure and a leg up. I get it, we parents want the best for our kids, but it is a bit overboard! That is why I "speculate" that the father found VCHS for a good fit for the kid, I don't think VCHS even knew that was happening.

It's a damn shame how all this went down. I'm not laying blame on either side because personally, I don't "know" all the facts. What I will say is I knew Atwell from his days at Nichols and always got along well with him. I thought he was a good dude. We cooked for the football team many, many times and all got along great. I just hope the stories I heard about how he treated this kid aren't true because they're ugly. Really ugly.
