Recruiting Football Talk VII

[drvenner]

The plot thickens.

I’m not ready to declare they are committing fraud, but I thought we would be landing some higher rated recruits/transfers by now. It’s still early this portal cycle but I’d like to see us do better than last year. I think we ranked in the 40s for overall transfers.

When exactly will you be ready? Do you have real information or is it just your conspiracy theory that because we are not landing who you think we should, then there be something shady going on.

I would be shocked if they weren’t abusing donations. Almost every charity and non profit does.

 

[knoxvol52]

I thought you guys were ************...but Echols did flip to USF...

 

[drvenner]

If more than 10% goes to overhead, they've set themselves up for fraud.

I think this is a fair question to ask. I also think that some rando Twitter X dude is probably not that reliable, irrespective of who likes the Tweet.

 

[MarcoVol]

Yea but he does have a point, there are rumors swirling that Spyre is hogging some of the money, Brice liked a post talking about it, and it would make sense because everyone nationally claims how great our collective is but yet we miss on a lot of prospects View attachment 600804

This all got started by a post from someone who doesn’t even know how to spell James Pearce’s name lol that’s great

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Let's dissolve them...that'll improve things immensely.

Nah, lets not dissolve them. Lets just drag them through the mud at every chance, whether deserve or not. . . turn as many against them as possible and try to cause them to stop donating. That'll show them!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Just not a fan of them
Maybe needs better vision and leadership
Just my opinion

You know you can start a collective, right?

Beatles legend John Lennon assassinated 43 years ago: What to know

They interrupted Monday night football. I am a big fan of John Lennon. Still makes me sad.

Don't critique government if you don't vote.

Don't critique Spyre if you don't donate.

Lol
Boom
You don’t pay
No freedom of speech for you good man

The govt deserves every bit they get. Nothing but a bunch of clowns

 

[Vols All Day]

Anyone heard how many dbs will be available for the bowl game?

What is Spyre even doing!?!?! Letting John Lennon get assassinated 43 years ago!?!?! What are they doing with our money over there?

 

[Christian Lowe]

Don't critique government if you don't vote.

Don't critique Spyre if you don't donate.

I’m sorry but both parties are essentially the same, with the only difference being one ruins the country slightly slower. I can criticize that without supporting either.

Lol
Boom

It is free to vote.

 

[csprig9]

Lol, Yea
If I had your money

I give my fair share to Tennessee and the damn govt
Nothing else to give
Im poor so im not a true fan though right
That’s what I’ve been told before

 

[JCVol00]

If you dont see red flags, or at least arent a little concerned then please take your orange sunglasses off for a sec

 

[KPT_VFL]

Good point… not many left. John Slaughter, Gibson, Matthews, Harrison, Walker, Macdonald, Mcollough, Conyers, Turrentine, Thomas, Rucker. More than I thought. Thank God it’s Iowa.

 

[csprig9]

It is free to vote.

I agree but it cost people money to get to the polling place lol
In all honesty your vote isn’t free

 

[drvenner]

IFYKYK.......I'm team Bailey as well

At the time, I was team Jennifer (or whatever Loni Anderson was called on the show). Today, I would definitely be Team Bailey.

 

[butchna]

Apologize to America, not us...pauper!

Can't have good news without bad news

It can't be good news all of the time, we aren't Alabama

Let's see what we do with the spots and money we've freed up. I see opportunity. Give it a week and then we can start panicking !

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

SIAP, why is Baron looking to transfer elsewhere? He's a starter and star here? Not enough NIL? I mean.... pay him for godsake.

I like Tyler but he feasts on weaker competition. Give his money and reps to someone else imo.

 

[drvenner]

Its about that time of year for a mayonnaise grilled cheese instead of butter. . .

I will stab you in the eye.

So we're losing like 6 in the secondary, it already sucked, and at this point we still have Banks and Willie here gonna be calling soft zone all next season with what talent?

Spyre is looking like snake oil salesmen, not doing crap... calling BS on them until they prove me otherwise.

Speaking of snake, if Boo is calling Seaton his boy and gonna flip, then he is deliberately running one of the biggest games on UT, but making it too obvious. He doesn't seem that dumb, but who knows... If he's calling Seaton slime, then he knows everyone is seeing it, so surely he's getting questioned left and right. If he trolls us this bad down to the very end and flips, then he better be ready to move outa Chattanooga because he will not be welcome...

Losing Echols to USF is just weak on our staff's part. No excuse unless they turn around and bring in 1-2 stud TE's. Either way not a good look for the program.

Heup and staff, with the guys leaving to the portal, the inability to close in recruiting, dragging our feet in the portal, and our NIL seems to be suspect as hell right now, they are quickly looking like the second stage of Butch Jones and staff... Yep.

And then here will come all those running to Heup's defense "But, But, But..." but what? We lost games we shouldn't have this season, the staff got out-coached by lesser and even opponents regularly by not making in-game adjustments and sticking with older guys when there is younger talent, he stuck with a QB who looked like Tarzan and played like Jane, we are slipping and not closing on the recruiting trail, other programs are stocking up already on portal talent while we are playing grab ass and having play dates/visits... Not looking good today. Very frustrating looking in from the outside.

Will be interesting to see what happens when the dust settles. Very underwhelming year so far for Heup after the first two seasons here. The shine is wearing off it seems, especially to recruits.

I'm pretty sure every single member of this board said it when we got Nico.

apparently they spent all their money on Nico and there's been nothing left for the past year or more.

No offense but this is very negative, in a nonsensical way. No offense I still love you.
