Recruiting Football Talk VII

We managed to get over the antiquated "One Of Us" ideology a long time ago on the men's side. Like around... 1926... when we hired Robert Neyland. Or what about in 1964 when we hired Dickey? Bill Battle?

Why can't the adults on the women's side move on and move forward?

They had summit for so long that it’s not really comparable. Women’s sports didn’t really exist in the 20’s, and summit is the bulk of WBB history here. Weekly’s for softball, too. I agree it’s ridiculous, but I see how it’s festered in a way that the men’s side hasn’t.

Here is your biology quiz for the day. Use mitosis in a sentence.
If you steps on my feets, mitosis will hurt.

Well I watched the game yesterday and the attendance was pitiful....
The energy was horrible and it was like team was just going through the motions....

Pretty sad ...

It's a systemic failure now. Everybody owns a piece of it. It's hard to blame fans for not wanting to watch.

I was told Mahomes and coach were mad because they said the ref didn't alert him that he was lined up off sides. Wasnt aware there was an obligation unless they checked with the line judge

If it’s minimal and they are splitting hairs, the ref will usually give the HC a warning about it for future plays instead of calling offsides the first time. If it’s egregious, the ref has to call it though. Toney’s was egregious. Definitely past the ball and an idiotic mistake. Toney never even looked at the sideline where a ref will usually tell you if you are okay or not. If he just simply looked left, the Chiefs probably win. Big mistake.

I've heard some talk that this makes it more likely he opts out of the bowl game. Not sure why he wouldn't just do both.

Tamarion McDonald is in the portal.

Tamarion McDonald is in the portal.

How many scholarship DB’s are left? Serious question.

 

[orange parmejohn]

Surely this isn’t cutting dead weight? I mean bad depth is still depth right?

I think the people saying we’ve forced 6 DB’s to hit the portal are coping at this point. I doubt we would tell that many to take a hike with seemingly no DB’s on the board to replace them.

This is leading me to believe that Martinez is gone

 

[Mullins2010]

Good thing we are playing Iowa lol

Prob a mixture of both. Doubt they wanted Slaughter or McDonald to leave

 

[drvenner]

Wow. We are going to go with the 5-5-1 lineup to try to trick everybody, I guess.

 

[BigSteve09]

six DBs is something!

 

[volinbama256]

So we have like 6 DB's now that have hit the portal, not sure who is returning, doesn't look like we are openly pursuing anyone in the portal at that position, and folks think marshmallow soft zone Willie is returning...
On the outside looking in, are we just trying to implode the secondary? Yeah we have some promising young talent, but certainly no where near proven for SEC play... not good.

 

[volinbama256]

Iowa gonna pass for more yards on us in the bowl game than they have total in four seasons...

I think Banks and Martinez would play Slaughter and McDonald until they were eligible for Social Security, if that were within the rules. So no, I don’t think they were pushed out.

Not sure they don’t end up back here, either.

 

[knoxvol52]

The young guys must be ready to play...

Seems like Tennessee staff is trimming the fat in the secondary....

 

[Volunteer21]

@MetalVolunteer what’s going on in secondary? I wanted McDonald at safety if anything.

 

[Christian Lowe]

We’re gonna be lining up in soccer formations

The guys leaving are the ones who didn't hear what they wanted to hear in the exit interviews. Everybody wants something-- a promised position, a move up the depth chart, more NIL $$-- and not everybody's getting it. UT wants anyone not all-in to be out this week so they can start bowl practice with a clear focus.
