Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[BigSteve09]

Great tribute. Thought there would be something about him coming back for next year. Guess we'll have to wait and see!

 

[BigSteve09]

On the VQ podcast, Rob, AP, and Brent all guessed gray alternate uniforms for next year. AP also guessed a chrome helmet.

Chrome helmet?

This is cryptic? Does it mean he is leaning towards returning next year?

 

[Weezer]

You're gonna end up making him think too much and screw him up. I get what your saying to a point. I was a good hitter and I was taught to swing level and to not take uppercut swings. I started doing that trying to murder the ball and went into a massive slump, just hitting pop-ups and foul balls all the time..when I didn't strike out. My coach got me fixed finally and I got back to hitting line drives all over the yard.

The lesson is to have your McGill's neutered and everything will be alright.

Barnes has never liked the NIL landscape. He didn't like it when it was all about money and he dislikes it more now that recruits and their entourage are asking for other things he thinks should be totally off-limits. It was always going to go this way. Recruits who think they're worth more keep upping the stakes, and the more schools offer, the more they want. Then the next recruit thinks he needs to top what was offered before. As long as other schools are willing to consider deal sweeteners for top recruits, it will not only continue, but escalate.

Combine this with the transfer portal, and coaches are having to consider supersized bundles to land top players while re-recruiting their own players to stay. If some players don't get the right combo deal of money, playing time and perks, they portal out. We've already seen that happen. UT has portaled out players we thought were staying and failed to bring in portalers we need due to demands outside the comfort zone. Not sure any coach loves the new landscape, but some hate it more than others.

Have we gone mad.

Ask yourself how long we have been posting here and I think you have your answer.

I am going to go ahead and grouse about all the uniform speculation discussion. I know it is the RF and we talk about whatever. I will just scroll on by, I guess. Carry on.

 

[SugarCC]

I agree, but those people are not just like that on game day...they hardly say anything when we win...other than to bitch that we didn't win good enough...and they are always wanting to fire coaches and never shut up about it.

We have a pretty large (at least it seems that way) section of very loud, very corrosive fans...I stand by that statement. They make me wanna puke.

You are also dead to me.

As long as I never have to hear U2 or Bruce again, death would be sweet release. Deal.

Auburn baseball player’s mom: Tennessee fans behavior ‘classless & down right embarrassing’

Classless and down-right embarrassing comments from a baseball mom. I'll never forgive her for her characterization of Tennessee fans.

 

[Devo182]

Looks like one of TN's senators is meeting with the conference commissioners headed to DC. Any speculation on where this goes?

The big takeaway:

"However, many believe it’s a longshot for this year"

Let's keep killing it and get ahead before they wreck it.

We’ve been to almost all of the SEC baseball facilities over the past 3 years and will rank Lindsey Nelson (Stadium) at the top

Hard to argue! Great venue!

So you're saying that you still haven't found what you're looking for?

We're not toxic, we're dedicated and faithful.

Ahh the rationalization stage

Didn't know they had Krystal's in Oklahoma.
