Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jackcrevol]

Tony Gwynn wasn't to shabby on swing, I agree about Griffey...

Without injuries, Barry Bonds as HR king wouldn't be discussed....he would have smoked Bonds record....

griffey was all hips. gwynn was calculated.

henry aaron also was nice.

for my money, id take mickey mantle all day long, and then some. to be able to be that violent from both sides. not sure how his SO compare to others, or hits. Dont care. im talking about his swing. Where the bat met the ball, mechanics, ease of swing.

another one was chipper. the power he generated with his swing will never be appreciated. again another upper cut guy, used a lot of hips. chipper was big enough to handle rigors of the 162 game schedule though. i will add he also could shorten up and hit up the middle. takes a lot of hand eye to be able to do that. really a generational talent.

What a wonderful man......played a lot of golf with him. So sad.

It may be someone else I'm thinking of, and I could be mistaken...but, did Wycheck have some problems with CTE? I think I heard that years ago...not sure it was him or not.

RIP, FW. From a Colts fan back in them days, nothing but mad respect for him.

The transfer portal and NIL is going to really put Vanderbilt out of their misery. They are going to lose any half way decent player every year.

Yes.......severe CTE.

I heard that he fell and hit his head....... Have not seen this posted, but a mutual friend told me that.....

SI is reporting that.

NDSU is a multi-time FCS champion...

That school excels in playoffs....

Yeah and?

They were 8-3 in the regular season. They wouldn't have sniffed the Top 4 in the FBS system. This is why I'm saying the FCS system is better and why you let teams play it out instead of having a "committee" decide who the best 4 are.

 

[peaygolf]

SI is reporting that.

This is really hitting me hard.........

 

[SoilVol]

@knoxvol52 might have been misconstrued what I was saying. NDSU is a powerhouse but had a down year. That program is impressive. I was criticizing the CFP system not them.

Feel like they should be fine with the right staff. Especially if league revenue sharing for players hits.

Switch to the triple option and specialize in grad transfers.

Not saying it's easy or likely, and Lea is sure the **** not the guy. I just think they have a path to relevance.

 

[SoilVol]

Big sad about Wycheck. McNair and Wycheck were heroes of my childhood man. Unfortunately you could see this coming. His last few years broadcasting his mind was slipping.

CTE is a nasty disease. Took Rob Bironas too.

This is really hitting me hard.........

Do you know if he still lived in Franklin?

Vanderbilt needs to get their stuff together and realize their only chance is to run a service academy offense and give everyone else fits. I hope they continue to not, but that's their best chance at being a thorn and pest.

 

[VolGee4]

Article or family statement said he had moved to Chattanooga.

And sadly, they finished 2-10 with those said players. It doesn’t get any easier.

They always struggled to be competitive in the SEC before NIL. Now, the chances are nearly zero they’ll ever get to 6 wins and bowl eligibility going forward.

60degrees and Sunshine yesterday....

Today's forecast Rain, turning to freezing rain with a chance of snow...

 

[volinbama256]

Really hoping Dobbs has a good bounce back game today against the Raiders... should have all his WR's back and fingers crossed they don't have the dropsys like last game...

 

[mrMet]

Jack is over baseball talk @mrMet break out the GameDay parlays ... anxiously awaiting....

Sadly only had time to get 1 bet in. Spent all morning cleaning up in Hendersonville

Graphic illustration of the RF lately.

 

[CaliVol2009]

Nwaneri, Franklin, Seaton. There you go.

We didn’t get every 5 star available…..Our NIL is terrible….

 

[DawgInterloper]

I'm only counting about six guys. I guess the others are walk-ons that are leaving?

It would be useful if somebody would try to report on scholarship-only portal entries. Including walk-ons distorts the information.

 

[MarcoVol]

Nwaneri, Franklin, Seaton. There you go.

Those dudes committed to Mizzou, Ole Miss, and Colorado. Don’t you find it odd they didn’t commit to big time programs considering they’re such high profile players?

 

[CaliVol2009]

This place is toxic AF right now.

The most toxic award goes to, BOT, captain of the legion of the miserable.

 

[peaygolf]

Do you know if he still lived in Franklin?

He was living in Chattanooga........moved last year to be closer to family

What BOT and other insufferable losers on this site don’t understand is that most of these guys would be team cancers. They are mercenaries, plain and simple. After seeing Seaton’s commitment I want no part of that dimwit.
