Recruiting Football Talk VII

[volbeast33]

Wait. Are you able to disown kids? Why was I not made aware of this. The money I could save.

i keep adding them…. 4 of my own…. 3 foster kids

 

[Vfl2407]

Had Vols offered?

 

[MarcoVol]

we are about to get the CB from Temple and an RT from Kansas

Who’s the Kansas guy? I missed that one

 

[Orange.]

Haven't checked out roster, what player is taking over SS?

Last I saw it looked like Christian Moore, like @MarcoVol said. Ariel Antigua is another candidate. But I don't follow that closely.

Guess milroe is coming back next year?

 

[UTSuave’]

In Mincey's case, he should look to Baron and TMac. UT does not appreciate attempts to renegotiate terms that have been agreed to-- with players or recruits.

Assuming the other two were going back on what was already agreed upon?..not really surprised I think we will be in a much better spot once all of these Pruitt recruits are gone…so far Josh’s evaluations of players are much better than Pruitt’s

Honestly the S**tty part about it.the transfer portal gives these kids the upper hand over the coaches to demand whatever they want or they leave especially in our situation when they all know our depth situation makes it so much easier to do.

That is why culture and transparency is so important. I think our staff and Spyre are hand in hand on these things and that is part of what is making this transfer season relatively smooth for us. We kept who we wanted to keep. We made offers to those who left based on what we were willing to give them to stay, and they chose to leave. So the staff didn't consider them worth what they were asking and figured they already had a piece to replace them with or we could get someone just as good for the same or less. Little to no drama and our locker room doesn't get bent out of shape because we are paying mercenaries 3x what the guys that have been in the program are getting.

 

[UTSuave’]

More trouble than he’s worth if you ask me

That’s what I’m saying…he’s acting like he’s some kind of 5* recruit making demands..but he knows we lack depth on the OL.

 

[Glitch]

We are LONG OVERDUE

 

[vol_in_ga]

Wasn't Stetson Bennett at Georgia for like seven years without graduating?

lol at uga. Those transfers and draft picks bringing down the grad rate.

Thinking back on it…I think this is where Pruitt failed and that’s the difference between him and josh.he’s not going to pay just anyone like Pruitt was willing to

How on Earth is their rate that much lower than everyone else's?

 

[vol_in_ga]

He must have had money on the game.

Bet he tells his friends he woulda had the tackle but he was wearing his new cleats and they didn’t work well with the grass field

 

[KptVFL]

I thought the Kansas OL was an OG?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Thank you collective

Amazing

 

[volinbama256]

AJ Harris would be a nice pickup in the portal for our secondary needs.

 

[LA Vol]

More trouble than he’s worth if you ask me

He is what he's always been. At least the "pay me" guys are transparent. The "pay me and play me where I want how much I want" guys always find a reason to be malcontents.

 

[SweetasSoda]

That's and you know it. What's our best win? KY or A&M?

Our best win is any win! Have you suddenly forgotten the last 20 years? Let’s keep getting better and enjoy every single point scored in every single game we win!!! Not taking any of it for granted ever again.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't have you ignored...I was saying I didn't know who Churchill was referring to, you miserable curmudgeon.

Lol..ok..I thought you did.

 

[Weezer]

Kiffin will probably find the money to convince him to stay. With all they're doing in the portal, they can't afford to lose this kid.

 

[LA Vol]

why would anyone give that for such a mediocre player?

Somebody might be desperate for a new LT and willing to pay for experience. The potential seems to be there.

 

[Brillovol]

 

[SweetasSoda]

Yeah, I heard there were riots breaking out in Whitwell.

Fortunately, it’s not been broadcast in Gruetli-Laager yet.
