'24 AL EDGE Jordan Ross (Tennessee)

[DowsaTV]

A little bit of Rodney magic would be nice today.

Oh it's a small gripe but I'm serious. I just like it when it falls during the day. It's something small to look forward to during the work day. When it's in the evening Ill just check and see where they committed whenever I am free.

ok...I'm sorry you have to wait till eight.

The way I look at it, we were very lucky to not have been nailed when Fulmer was here as HC. There's no secret that a lot of money and benefits were given out during his tenure. He was very fortunate to have Roy Kramer watching his back, like Saban when he had Mark Emmert watching his. I graduated with 2 different people that worked in the AD department when Fulmer was there and the stories I heard from both of them and a former Walk on that played at UT in the 90's. He was just a walk on that never got any meaningful snaps and he even had a little pocket change and non campus meals. Similar to what Foster said about Fulmer getting him Taco Bell and making sure his guys never starved. And his sidekick wasn't a secret amongst the players. The way I see it, we never got busted but very easily could have. And it wouldn't have been a little slap on the rwrist and a fine. With the $hit we got away with, I can't really get upset when other schools get lesser punishments or none. The level of stuff that went on when Fulmer was HC would have been borderline Death Penalty type sanctions. Thank you Roy Kramer!!

I heard similar stories from the Sentence Fragment Division of the Department of Redundancy Department.

He didn’t play anyone with equal talent. Lol

Bama ? ohio state? if those teams dont hvae equal talent your just cutting hairs and it doesnt work like that.... also bama and ohio state had much more talent at quaterback. QB is the most important position along with ol/dl in my opinion. cant hate on what kirby has down down there.... How many times has saban had the most talented team and not won..... plenty and hes considered to be the best college coach ever.

I don't like the new trend of recruiting where you have to wait until 8pm for an announcement. It use to always be during the day.

Agreed if your going to committ do at noon or 1

[My VOLS are huge]

Just maybe he has class, then practice after school. If 8 is too late for you then read about it tomorrow.

Plus, it is only 7 in AL....

He didn’t play bama last year but yeah Ohio state is somewhat close. They weren’t even top 10 recruiting in 2019 though while Georgia was 1 or 2 every year.

I have a toddler. The answer to this question for me is yes.

Haha understood. Sleep whenever and wherever you can.

But remember we "won't overpay for anyone" so apparently we are going to let the chips fall where they may and lose kids and just be happy with who we get according to the narrative on here lately... IMO, Heup may be treading on a slippery slope because if we start slipping or going backwards because of lack of talent, he won't have any excuses because apparently he is choosing to not overpay and banking on competing with GA and AL year in and year out with a less talented roster... Wonder how long that will last?

Heupel trusts his staff’s evaluations more than the “evaluations” of recruiting services. You should be thankful for that because star ratings aren’t based on independent evaluations of recruiting services. If they were, 247 “evaluators” would be getting hired away by top college programs and NFL franchises since the ratings are such a good projection of a player’s upside. But you have to understand that the ratings are based how heavily players are recruited by the coaches that recruiting services trust. Heupel will sink or swim depending on how many of HIS guys he lands and if his staff’s evaluations are on point. Once he and his staff develop a reputation of making good evaluations, his recruits will begin getting bumps in the ratings.

If he put his eggs in the baskets of players that other staffs evaluated highly rather than his own, he’d have a hard time keeping a good staff and his players wouldn’t fit into the program as well as we need them too. The idea is to sign talented players who respond well to the coaches we have on staff. That’s what he’s trying to do.

Past your bedtime?

I have a toddler. The answer to this question for me is yes.

My son is turning 4. Let me know when that sleeping thing works. He was dancing on the ceiling until 1130 pm last night, Thomas in hand.

Pretty comparable to me. Made for a hell of a game. I expect those two to probably matchup for the Championship again this year

I need good news on this one today

4-star EDGE Jordan Ross
Commitment date: Aug. 21
The buzz: Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Texas are the finalists for Jordan Ross. He has been linked to Florida in the past, but there has not been buzz around the four-star EDGE out of Birmingham (Ala.) Vestavia Hills and the Gators over the last month and a half. Tennessee has long been considered a top three school for Ross and the Vols have been trending since the official visit in June. Ross has always been open to leaving his home state and the Vols hope to capitalize on that Monday night.

Oh for sure, the guy who just won 11 games in Y2 while beating Bama is definitely on a slippery slope! Like win a NC already amirite

How many times have you heard people talk about how intelligent Heupel is? Do you know what isn't intelligent? Making assumptions about what Heupel is or isn't doing.

Cut down on the sweet tea.
