Recruiting Football Talk VII

[mr.checkerboards]

I grew up in an area called Colonial Heights. Nice enough but just typical suburbia. Personally, if I moved back, I'd like head towards Bristol.

Rebels?

 

[KptVFL]

Me neither...do you know the original name?

"It is even better to find that the success requires a move to larger quarters. Such is the tale of Primo’s Italian Restaurant in Elizabethton. Owners Mo Farrouki and Kinsey Holliday have not only moved Primo’s; they changed its name to The Black Olive."

Old friends found at new location: The Black Olive makes its move

It is good to see a locally owned restaurant become a success, despite outside interference from the “Interesting Times” we are all experiencing. It is even better to find that

You're overly critical of all things Barnes and for some reason have a blind spot for Pearl...

The only ranked SEC team they've played was Ole Miss at their house who we beat more soundly. Now if Auburn smokes Bama tonight then I will probably be a lot more worried about them losing 3 or less.

Their 5 opponents
at Arkansas (1-4 in SEC)
vs A&M (3-3 in SEC)
vs LSU (3-2 in SEC)
at Vandy (0-5 in SEC)
vs Ole Miss (2-3 in SEC)

All he is ever going to do is point out any flaws in a CRB team. All teams have flaws. He is not interested in changing his mind. Not sure he even cares if he’s changing the mind of others.

 

[SweetasSoda]

We need 3-4 good ones in this class IMO. We lose a lot after this season. Big O, ONL, Elijah Simmons, and more.

Which makes me think they may go to the portal for 1 or 2 with experience. Crazy how the portal has changed high school recruiting.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Never heard of it but love the name.

They also have some other Mediterranean food options.

 

[Rishvol]

Never fear bro. Saw you liked bird watching. Honestly could be one of the better ones I made so maybe better late than never. Apparently they believe the model for bird watching is Derrick Dooley though. lol

Love that first one. Thanks

By this logic, Heupel lied to his recruits at UCF. I’m sure he didn’t tell them he might leave when he was recruiting them.

This fall out at Bama is bc kids signed up to play for Saban.

Because taking a better job and timing your RETIREMENT are the same thing?

It's not really being overly critical is more how weak I think Auburns schedule is.
Split Bama games
Split MSST games
Lose to TN

And that's all that I really feel good about them losing.
I mean they could lose to UK but it's at home, and then maybeeee one of the UGA games, but of they don't shoot like they did against us, I'm not really sure UGA hangs with a top opponent.

That is it...for some reason I always forget it.

He is a troll...period...same as Chief...same as Bruin...etc etc etc..

 

[SweetasSoda]

This looks like me during the Pruitt years especially at the 2020 Kentucky game when I wanted to run on the field and punch that mask wearing Bama idiot.

I wonder how many fans in stands needed a straight jacket that day!

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Over/under 2.5 - 5 stars for the 2025 class?

lol. Here we go. I think we can get 3 5*s in 2025. Highly unlikely that we get 4-5 5*s.

 

[MarcoVol]

Not telling your players you may leave is the same thing to me. It’s all good if y’all don’t agree. Wasn’t looking to engage in an argument about it. Don’t think any of it is a big deal

 

[BigSteve09]

Wouldn't shock me. Amy is all-in on Ran though. Gave him full control over personnel decisions. Either Ran is a homerun and he and the new coach will take the team to high levels or it will crash and burn in 3 years.

But I heard Ran had disagreements in philosophy with peers when he was in San Francisco too. Which is fine and expected, bc everyone has different opinions, but the fact it's reported on makes me think its more of a personality thing and doesn't handle it well when people disagree with him. Maybe with full control there will be less of that, because he will just dictator it... idk

heard the recent front office moves were to get him out of the way, basically

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Only thing Colonial Heights has going for it is cheap gas and a Pals.

Fisherman’s Dock used to be good

Although I do think we will win, South Carolina could present some trouble for us.

 

[OrangenSC]

Id look at Greeneville, personally.

We moved to just oitside Greeneville a little over a year ago and we love it.

 

[DD4ME]

Love that first one. Thanks

it saves my creation anf the text I used so if you ever need a tweak just let me know and I can massage the ask and try again

 

[BigSteve09]

tell the other fans in your life how we won this guy and why it's important for them to be members as well

 

[DD4ME]

Over/under 2.5 - 5 stars for the 2025 class?

2 things determine if we coast or take off.

1. Nico

2. GMac

If Nico does what we think he can this year the 2025 class will be stupid because kids will want to be there for his last year and GMac's 1st.

Min 2. Max 4

 

[Glitch]

TAMU has spent eleventy billion dollars between coaches and players over the last 5-8 years and don't even have a 10 win season to show for it!

But it IS a “big deal” when you equate their separate actions. Heupel recruited a class not knowing another job would become available in JANUARY. Gotta believe Saban had an inkling that it was his last ride WHILST he was heavily courting top end recruits and aggressively attempting to flip others commits all throughout and beyond Early Signing Day. Stop with the SAME THING bs.

Oh yeah, they'll definitely look for portal help on the DL. They'll have to. We lose too much not to.

It’s the same thing to me. And neither situation is a big deal

Heard, sort of makes me sad cause I really see him clinging to those LSU roots. One instance where making business choices takes a little away from you.
