Jean shorts aren't very expensive. People in Florida really don't need to work that much.

Sounds good for the Vols per VQ podcast. The only thing is that he doesn't care for school. PAC12 has easier requirements. As long as hes staying at AZWCC he should be a Vol.

Not being a d$#&, but I just don't see Pruitt and company being that way. That was a ***** Jones tactic to keep his followers (me included) in tow to keep the heat off his collar. I can maybe see em holding emmoff til a big event like the BBQ weekend but not holding em in a limbo status and strategically having em pop the commit n make it public. Just my opinion but I think Pruitt is more strait forward and serious than to play games like that.

how is that not a contradiction? Butch was strategic in when he had people commit and its bad, but when Pruitt does it (BBQ) its ok?

also how do you address the two examples given in Wayna Morris and Ramel? who said from their own mouths they were silent.

Why do people assume it's the coaches telling them to stay silent. The much more likely explanation is that the recruit just doesn't want it public yet. There are a number of reasons they could want to remain silent that all make more sense than some coach trying to orchestrate good news.

I think you are reading too much into it. Its not coach games if a recruit calls or talks to the staff and says "Hey I'm a Vol but I'm gonna announce it on this date." It happens.

I know that happens, what I am saying is that CJP isn't the one saying hey I'm glad your a VOL but you can't say anything publicly until something bad happens and then you can go public to calm the waters....

Agreed. It's a big thing for these kids and rightfully so. Most of them want to make it a big moment and plan to do reveals, etc and I would assume that is the reason a lot of them want to keep it hush hush.

Big recruiting events are a lil different than having them wait til a bad loss or until the heat is on you (the coach) then have em go public. And read my other response to your question about Wanya and Ramel.

so only Butch was telling kids to be silents? again I am just trying to figure out the contradiction.

I didn't say butch was. I said I think most of the time it's the recruits decision. I've never believed it was the coaches unless it was a situation where they weren't ready to accept because they had other players higher on their board. And we know butch didn't do that. A possible example could be Pettway who seems like he wants in but by all accounts has been told by the coaches to wait. And even that is pure speculation.

Because we seem to be in on "alot" more silents, than in years past. Why is it a bad thing for the coaches to hold silents until give time?

I dont worry. Worrying is a stupid waste of energy and time. So is hating. Nothing good results from those.

Not entirely true. Hopefully the cold burn of hate can fuel the fires in the hearts of our players to overcome the evil empire that is Bama. I'd consider that something good.

Yes, but the tenets also include screaming at his coaches on the sideline, intimidating media members, processing tons of players out of the program before they graduate, hiding behind the commissioner when he gets called on being a dick and various and sundry other assholish type traits that seem to contradict your post regarding not to let the hate flow.

Nick Saban is an awful human being.
