‘23 LSU transfer OT Zalance Heard (Tennessee)

[Jimmy Football]

feels like the chris brazzell recruitment

Here’s hoping.

 

[JRVFL]

AP says 60% for Heard. Lol what say @MetalVolunteer @Mrpeabody8888 ??? Confidence level???

This way he’s not going out on a limb if we don’t get him and still right if we do. Nice.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

But I thought all these guys had sources inside our various programs feeding them information? You mean to tell me it's all been a lie?

All been coming from the janitor and notes found in dumpster outside of training facility.

Like weather forecasters.

Why are we bashing AP? He’s a very nice person, JMO.

I actually have met him before and thought he was a kind and docile person. Probably couldn’t harm a fly. Loves him some Vols.

 

[VolByLaw]

AP can defend himself and commonly does so on VQ, but he definitely still has sources on this current staff. He broke the news of every transfer we had interest in and continues giving updates on transfer targets (some that make it over here and some that don't). Reality is, there is a lot of info on VQ that doesn't make it over here or is delayed in making it over here, so anyone making sweeping statements about AP is doing so with limited information. Of course he is frustrated by the flips and such. but he compliments this staff all the time.

Need some good news here

Is the offensive line recruiting not an issue? If it wasn’t we wouldn’t be in the position we’re in now freaking out when a transfer OL picks a different school. Has the staff missed multiple opportunities to get young DB’s playing time? In this day and age of the portal keeping them engaged is paramount. AP’s complaints are legitimate, some on here just want to be told everything is sunshine and rainbows. Truth hurts sometimes.

I think there is a somewhat false narrative on Elarbee though. It requires a different level of "in shape" to play in this fast paced offense. A lot of these big dudes aren't signing up for that. I think he's done a tremendous job this cycle considering.

 

[DD4ME]

Lol when AP posts info we do want there are easily 100 likes for whoever drops it here free, and we all celebrate. When we don't like what he posts we chuck peanuts.

The nice part is he has a pay wall so you can avoid his content if you don't see the value. I quit paying, but I still appreciate the Intel when shared. That is all any of it is. Intel. Drama sells though so I doubt there will ever be 100% sunshine.

This coming weekend is the big stuff... now all the players from the Washington, Michigan game hit portal. I have a feeling Washington has a decent amount of ok players.. Michigan likely less, unless Harbaugh is going to the NFL

 

[VolByLaw]

I respect Tennessee Rivals, On3, and 247 for the job that they do. But AP breaks almost all major recruiting news and a lot of team news as well. He sometimes provides updates about our targets visiting other school hours before that school even reports it. Almost all of the real updates in our transfer portal thread is AP stating who we have interest in and who is visiting.

Again, a lot of info on VQ does not make its way over here (for instance, today, he gave very small updates on Aydan White and Dominic McKinley that haven't made its way over here). Sometimes, there are larger things that also never make it over here too. I don't think it is fair to criticize him when a small portion of his posts make it over here. If you do want to criticize him, go sub to the VQ message board and see all of his content instead of a small portion of it.

I think coaching move create a new portal window too. I don’t think it happens, but if Kelly really does end up at Michigan, I believe LSU players could leave. Then Ole MS can try to replace lane when he bolts to LSU, and we will land Pounds when he reenters

Well what was the Aydan White update? Lol

Life is like a fistful of peanuts. You never know what volnations going to do with them.

So what y’all are saying is you want it to be all sunshine and rainbows when talking about AP and VQ? Nobody is supposed to question why they are being so negative? Just appreciate the job they are doing in a tough situation? Hypocrites lol

While we are at it what did he say about Aydan White??

I was only saying they make it easy not to listen. Lol . Also their own staff openly picks about how negative Hubbs is. He's like a lot of posters here. The glass is half empty.

I was just laughing at the ones that constantly complain about the sunshine and rainbows but then immediately got upset about the negative posts about AP.

 

[butchna]

This “sunshine and rainbows” forcefield really adds to the conversation. Can’t dry the tears after witnessing such persecution.

 

[swchandler1988]

Bc he’s a little whiny bitch when his feelings get hurt or he doesn’t get all info hand fed to him

You should probably be banned @Freak

 

[DD4ME]

AP has lost control of this thread.

 

[UTK]

AP has been “confrontational” about this staff last 5-6 weeks. Complaining about lack of Pt, recruiting, etc.

He’s got a valid point with not getting young guys at certain positions reps in blowout wins/losses to be fair

 

[UTK]

Why are we bashing AP? He’s a very nice person, JMO.

What media guy doesn’t vol fans bash? Haha
