Warrior, Daniels, Bailey

i'd be disappointed

It's funny you use the word "forced" here. Isn't it the coach who extends the offers in the first place? Saying he is forced to take a kid, would mean he never had the option. He offered, kid accepted, no forcing here.

It was an inference to a hypothetical scenario. And in a way is it not 'forced'? Maybe not in the way of a person having a gun to their head. But as far as it being deemed the correct move to make in the rather pointless court of public opinion. Part of the reason I like Harbaugh is he doesn't cater to the PC crowd and worries more about winning than hurt feelings because a kid doesn't make a team. I got cut one year on the 5th and 6th grade basketball team. I don't remember some hands across America bs suggesting that I was horribly wronged. I was told to suck it up, practice, and get better. Never got cut again. I was 10 and learned that lesson. These kids are 17-18 years old and will get a free ride to play sports. Sorry if I'm not shedding a tear over some perceived embarrassment.

This guy.

Get all the elite players that want to Volunteer....even if you have to cut a project player. That how elite programs cruit.

My disagreement is taking project commitments early. Silly to me. Alot of projects may jump on the last month if you see missing elite players

I do agree with this sentiment. I hope Butch gets better at not accepting early commitments from marginal players.

This guy.

Damn right.

I don't understand Butch's philosophy about this year's class.

 

[delfonic]

I don't understand Butch's philosophy about this year's class.

As Butch catches big fish he releases the smaller fish he caught earlier.

Lol, pretty accurate analogy.

Recruits thought he was going to be fired before the UGA game. Win and recruiting gets easier.

As an avid bass fisherman, i subscribe to this theory 100%. It sucks to let guys go when they're committed to us but you have to do what's best for the team. And what's best for the team is gathering as much talent as possible on campus.

 

[delfonic]

Lol, pretty accurate analogy.

Sure as hell beats the analogy I had where Butch uses lower rated guys for bait.

...as long as he wins, the discontent from the fish he throws back won't really matter.


Rest assured, any stumbles we have on the field will come back on him hard on the recruiting trail.

Does anyone have an actual update as to where we stand with this kid? I didn't have time to scroll through all of the other stuff...

Looks like we get his last visit.This weekend

He needs elite players to cover up mismanagement....not the projects imo

It must suck to be you.

Blue font?

 

[KBVol]

If you Pruitt, he will come.

Ick.....that don't sound right 😁

 

[appvol]

I just got a text from the guy I work with and he said Saban is suppose to come visit Dickerson tonight and his family.

 

[jasonvol18]

Agreed. We finish with more than those 3. But Warrior,Daniles and Bailey aren't a bad way to finish. But think we get at least one of Dickerson,Brown and Byrd to go with those 3.

 

[VolsnCards5]

Of our five remaining big-time targets, this is the one that I am the least confident about.

Looking at the list of commits in this weekend plus the BIG targets we have in, can you imagine how incredible the enviroment is going to be? I guarantee you that if any of the big 3 targets (Brown, Dickerson, Byrd) are on the fence, this weekend will push them over. I'm predicting nuclear booms for next Wednesday. Way, way, way too much smoke for each of these guys and the timing screams Vols.

Agreed. Next Weds will be epic I do believe!!

Oh yeah, and the weathers gonna be gorgeous!

You work with Nick Saban? Is he a d!ck? Because he seems like the kind of guy who doesn't leave a buck but drinks the community coffee all day. Or steals your recruits a week out of signing day.

Just seems like that kind of guy
