Obviously aside from not playing his senior year. Maybe he could move in with his grandmother in another small town with Gunter connections if he's looking to dominate at the lower levels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may have something to do with custody issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTAlumnus Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 15 minutes ago, supermaroon said: Very interested to see what evidence they have to say no. No chance he goes back to Sherman after this either could he? Seems like Gunter needs to get in touch with a certain school in the Sherman area that are going to build a compound of trailers for families with athletes to move inside the school district so they can avoid this. I thought it was ironic that the Sherman coach (former OC) who is freely leaving to go to Leonard spoke at the meeting. I also don't understand why one kid in the same household would be OK and the other not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach's son denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if he lives with dad or mom that could be the only reason I see if he doesn't live in the same house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermaroon Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 And if you're the new Leonard coach do you really want to upset Gunter? Didn't ever work for fletcher no matter how many $1 cheeseburgers he brought to the meetings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GraysonFan Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 He’s been living with his mother and not his dad. Grant’s mother wasn’t involved in any of this, just dad and stepmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are divorced and the step brothers don't live in the same household I wonder why both of them decided to transfer to Gunter coincidentally at the same time. If one of them transferred to be in a better football program then both of them did. I think Sherman comes out looking pretty petty in this whole deal. But that's just me.

I've known kids that lived in X but could still go to school at Y because of their parents' job status. Wonder why it didn't work this time...does the dad not have ANY custody?

Cory Cain should be ashamed of himself for sure. I cannot for the life of me find a motive in why Sherman would try to sabotage Grant's career, outside of pure pettiness. Gunter was no threat to Sherman....kids dad had a job there. Cain and co sure did have fun accepting transfers left and right while at Allen though. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm imagining a scenario where new coach is hired and assistant dad coach is kept on the staff. Plans are made and assurances given. Next thing you know dad coach is leaving you high and dry with no good options at qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, you’ve spent an inordinate amount of time poking around in their divorce decrees and living arrangements. The fact that you even use the term scouting department demonstrates that you are as jealous as Sherman is. And the fact that some fictional ball was dropped would indicate to any reasonable observer that there was no recruiting going on at all, otherwise GT would have five outstanding QBs to choose from. As it stands GT still has four outstanding QBs and a new special teams coach. The only one hurt is Phoenix, and I hate even using the word “hurt”. From everything I’ve heard from Sherman people and from Gunter people is that he’s a great kid aside from sports. He’ll figure it out with his family and he’ll do just fine I’m sure. Sherman’s just petty. I’m wondering if this head fb coach will break four seasons. I’m betting he won’t unless he wins the Axe back and soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea, I don’t know if the family moved to Gunter ISD and maybe the son didn’t or what the status is. All of what I hear could totally be just rumor/gossip, but hearing others talking about some communication got provided that didn’t go over too well that was from coach-dad and Gunter coach. Who knows, but for UIL to deny it there has to be some sort of basis for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably reacted a little harshly. Just feel bad that this family’s private business is under the microscope. Blending families is difficult even without public scrutiny. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
