Maybe McCoy can bring him here with being in old pac 12...

It’s just odd to me, can’t really put anything as to why. Mostly just feels like he’s listed a team from all the major conferences aside for the Big 12. Plus it hasn’t been mentioned by really anyone that were even remotely interested in a Corner, unless they’ve analyzed him and see a different spot. Just feels like a smokescreen on his part. I could be way off. Who knows!

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Maybe we said screw a portal WR and we’re going to move Boo to offense full time and this guy can take Boo’s spot at star.

I mean I wouldn’t be against that…

 

[Pawleysvol]

Interesting. Didn’t know we needed a DB

Feels like leverage play to have us on there. Unless he is the out of left field transfer commit we get once every cycle z

There are a few names that Tennessee is looking at… But there’s no point to talk about them and then if they don’t end up coming like the Branch Brothers, then it doesn’t become a thing.

I mentioned earlier today that TN would have interest in USC guard Emmanuel Pregnon. He is visiting Oregon now and we will see if Tennessee can get him to campus after that.

Is that a serious quote? Good grief AP don’t be so sensitive.

“There’s a few players Tennessee is interested in, but even though you pay me to tell you who those players are I’m not going to do it because if they don’t come here then I won’t get angry posts.”

Feels like AP has become a lot more combative with the VQ community lately.

I’d like to talk myself into thinking they’re just playing their cards close to chest but I don’t think that’s the case. Maybe it is though since even coaching changes aren’t happening yet

Sounds crazy to disrespect your customers/ employers like that

We don't want Georgia to have an offense.

I'm not sure AP is cut out for the new recruiting landscape?

Bro they pay you $9.99 for information.

I don’t care if people say AP does a good job, every post I see of his it’s always some **** like that.

People need to cancel their membership and tell fat boy to put $50 on pump 6

 

[Weezer]

We can’t stunt?

 

[Weezer]

At this point it’s gotta be Tate

At this point, I think we're setting ourselves up to be disappointed if we believe that.

Brazzell needs the weight room/nutrition center to be his second home all offseason. He got punked a lot during conference play. His best highlights came in fall camp that his offseason WR coach tweeted out.

Have heard that he doesn’t give 100 at practice every day and doesn’t pay close attention during position study.

 

[Adam Sandler]

That’s a very odd group of 4 finalists. TN definitely feels like the outlier there.

Michigan won the national championship a year ago

You’ll have to put your shirt on before anyone let’s you inside.

I don't put clothes on for anyone.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant percentage of his customers read that and go yeah I’m not paying you to tell me you’re not going to give me what I pay you for. This is college football beat writing, not the Wall Street journal.

 

[31VFL]

@31VFL got the details??

I’m assuming the prediction for us is just Jefferson.

Sorry, just saw this. That is correct. Just Jefferson for us with a High Confidence in the pick.

I'm not being dismissive of everyone's frustration. I get it. But I think we need to just see who we actually end up with before we have a meltdown.

This is becoming a bit of yearly exercise. Last year this time we were all freaking out about the staff's perceived lack of effort in the portal. And then things started to move publicly and we ended up with a really good portal class.

I can guarantee you that the coaching staff isn't simply sitting on their hands. They've shown that they'll use the portal, we've signed 8 players each of the last two years. This program is their careers, they want to win as badly as any of us - just because we don't hear about it doesn't mean they aren't working. Guarantee they won't go into next season with 3 returning wideouts.

We'll see what happens and if they deliver, but let's see what the roster looks like in spring practice.

It actually sounds like he’s even frustrated we can’t get anyone to visit.

 

[JCVol00]

I feel like the staff is playing too conservatively in the portal. UGA this time last week was prepping for their cfp game and now they have 2 wr’s committed and we dont have 1. And our wr room is in worse shape than theirs, but they actually do what it takes to build their roster fast and most effectively

Here’s what I don’t understand. Why spend money on VQ for inside information when you could instead send that money to Spyre and improve your team. It’s like people want to pay money to know they’re getting a lump of coal for Christmas.

And rushed for almost 3,000 yards with what many have called a terrible OL.

The pass protection was very bad too much of the time.

that high life looks amazing
