'18 GA QB Trevor Lawrence

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Bump.

We are in the mix.

Spent some time with him at the Dome this past weekend.

No freakin way!

 

[VolForLife83]

I'm calling BS!

WTf,GTFOH, NFW... JMO

A stats reminder on Atlanta Vol, please?

I want to believe....

AV is...ahem..what should best be called a "unofficial financial supporter" of Vol recruiting in Geirgia. As much as I used to hate some of the news he brings. His stats are truth. What he would also tell you though is recruiting is fluid. Some tracks need a lot of grease.

You the man :hi:

Could be a MONSTER offensive line if they would change the goofy blocking scheme to a more aggressive one..

New OL coach might do that

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Kinda like we were still "in it" for Gibbs?

Ok.

You do know TL is a 2018 recruit right? I know Butch should have the 2018 class full by the summer of 2017 according to you. But regardless of what you believe, its a LONG way until Feb 2019.

 

[KBVol]

My my my

Good grief could you imagine the 2018 class if we land the instate guys and Lawrence!?

Still trying to imagine the 2017 class if we had landed the instate guys 😁😳

Well, we got them all but 3. Stevens and Rodgers were never coming here. Tee trolled us. I'd say Butch has done well with Trey, Chandler and others. Not to mention, he's about to close strong

People bemoaning Richardson also. We were never going to snare him AND Chandler. I preferred Chandler and still do.

All I know is dude did exactly what he said with an unbelievable gracious donation for little Ashley.

He's a man of his word and no one should doubt him

We'd currently be in the top 5 in team rankings had we landed J. Stevens, T. Higgins, A. Rogers & C. Hayden.

Depending on the service top 2 or 3 in Team Rankings if QB H. Johnson's commitment had remained coupled with the foregoing in state guys. H. Johnson senior stats suggest he's overated, although I still wish he had remained committed because he assisted in losing T. Higgins.

Regardless, recruiting has held up well all things considered. We're still hovering near the top 10 or just outside.

GO VOLS!!!

I think the coaches preferred Chandler. I don't remember them making a push for Richardson

 

[InVOLuntary]

Am I misremembering or might Richardson be an academic casualty?

 

[Glitch]

He dines at Tux's table. TIFWIW.

I don't think Tux could roll with Atlanta VOL. Atlanta VOL retired so he could focus on UT recruiting.

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Correct. Doubt he gets in a big school

Get with the times, man!

 

[Atlanta VOL]

I will post a little mini bio that I had put in another thread when asked about my involvement and where I thought the AD hire was. Give me a second and I will post for those who would like to know.

It was a joke. I know who we got and am very glad we got em.

Won't happen with the scheme Butch runs. That's why it's been said for Butch to bring in a decent to big time OC, he would have to completely turn over the offense, and that's not gonna happen.

 

[onevol74]

Hopefully bringing in a real QB Coach and hopefully an OC that is known will also help. Truly think that is what is holding back our QB recruiting.

Better yet. Does he have an unemployed sister?

First off I am an official donor and very proud to be. However I am also involved in non official TN business which has been a part of my family since I was a young child. My father was very active in unsanctioned business in Knoxville for almost three decades..

As a larger donor (6 figures a year and with non cash donations of other things over 7 figures). On the non cash side I lend my aircraft to the University for a variety of TN FUND "missions".

I can tell you I do this purely for a few reasons.

1. Access to premium seating and parking both home and away. This includes access to players, coaches, and special events.
2. Incredible tax benefits while gaining facility use.
3. Anything that helps or contributes to the well being of knoxville and the state of tn (which our football program has a tremendous effect on the local economy) I am all for and will gladly support.
4. The university was near and dear to my old man...he was deeply involved as a donor and behind the scenes guy in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. I went to every home game and countless away games with him. To this day I still have the seats that I used to sit in with him growing up as a kid...so he instilled it in me from the moment I was born.

I will say on the whole I don't agree that most mega donors do things to benefit their own business certainly there are some local guys who take that into account considering the write off for some of the things they do.

At least that is my opinion and gives you all a little background as to why this place is so special to me and why I am involved on many levels.

And there you have it

Dang! You have your own plane! Whoa

I'm jealous...can I borrow your life for a couple of days?

Want to hire me? My skills are in maneuvering clients through government

My company owns our aircraft...I just lend them to the University when they need them.

 

[Atlanta VOL]

This TN basketball team needs to pick it up....not a great 2nd half effort against TN tech.

As a side note I am still not sold on Barnes. Granted he rubbed me the wrong way earlier this year at an event so I am probably still holding a grudge there.
