Recruiting Football Talk VII

Colorado is reportedly still working on an agreement to play Helen Keller University of the Blind each year.

Deion keeps it up, he'll be begging for their transfers soon.

 

[Orange_Crush]

It sure wasn't from a lack of trying!

No, actually. I think it came naturally.

Jack needs a tranquilizer...Fed Ex him a prescription...

dude, of all things in my late 40's i dont need is a sedative. it takes this bastion of optimism about three cups of coffee to reach the ground floor.

So…..does that mean the Seaton chatter from today was real? That we tried to flip him?

UT put together a very strong package. But Maryland is close to home, and he has strong relationships there. They were always out there and they made a backyard play to get him back on campus last-minute and have him thinking how great it would be to stay home. That's where the chatter is coming from-- not from UT making some big money flip pitch.

that Gentle on the left? Big and Tall..

That’s Perry, Gentle is back mid/right

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

So...at the local mall. Anyone spot something off?!

 

[DD4ME]

Don't think they ever had him.

Oh once we didn't have him I quit watching. I thought they landed him.

Nothing makes me madder than buying Chocolate covered Cherries and at least 3 in box has no cherry ....

 

[CAVPUT]

UT created strong packages... but both sides have to honor the deal. Sometimes, guys try to get more last-minute, and the coaches trust their valuation. Brazzell likes UT and has a decision to make. There will be more opportunities in January.

Disappointing. Yeah, I know, but it's still sad that it's gotten to this point.

A little high for Joe Milton.

There will be new portalers after the bowl games. These last spots have to count.

Today was a good day.

So he ain’t coming here. Good to know. I can move on with my night now lol.

Going until Friday, anyway. Lots more time for unfounded rumors to get your hopes up.

[DD4ME]

No Drama Day on the Hill frees up time to fully enjoy the drama elsewhere.

My favorite part of today.

 

[UTProf]

You're marrying the wrong girls.

Well I have anxiety daily, so a good sedative helps me make it through the day....

 

[jakez4ut]

yeah, i think all in all, we're good. it's been said already a hundred times, but we all know the misses this cycle, some stung more than others, but i don't think you can look at this class and not be excited. this is a really good class. and i think when we look back on it in a couple of years, we're going to be able to pick out some top contributors and difference makers.

if we continue to recruit with an average class rating of 91+, we're gonna be just fine.

 

[MarcoVol]

Disappointing. Yeah, I know, but it's still sad that it's gotten to this point.

Kinda awesome really. Gotta be much more strategic than before and have a strong belief in your own system.

 

[UTProf]

Stick with the coffee maker.


And whatever is in the box that the coffee maker is excited about.

I gotta have both boxes. Can't live without coffee or gaming. That's 90 percent of my bloodstream lol.

Absolutely right.

Esp with a 12 team playoff

Yes, got to remember today is not the final class the way it used to be. We will still be adding all the way into next season. We got some really good players if not everyone we wanted.
