Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Govolsman98]

Oh, Great!

Why is this Osobor fella so great?

I haven't heard people say that LeBron was soft.

The "I haven't watched the NBA in 20 years, but let me tell ya about it..." crowd...

Can just ignore the goofballs on that subject

I wouldn't take Bronny because he sucked a$$ at USC.

Played 19 mpg, shot 36.6% FG, 26.7% 3PT, and 67.6% FT for 4.8 ppg... he had his shot outta HS to get paid. If he had anyone else as a father I can assure you he wouldn't have been a top 20 player in that class.

Also how bad was USC? They have 7 top 100 players on that roster and went 15-18 in a Pac-12 that only sent 4 teams to the tournament... good lord

Honestly, I think Rick Barnes has been the only "big hire" of any of the major sports in my lifetime as a Vol fan (going back to the mid 90s).

Serrano was considered a pretty big hire at the time. He'd been to 2 World Series and 2 Super Regionals in 7 years of coaching before coming to Knoxville.

Massive disappointment!!

you can tell maria is pissed by this article.

Meh. She can accept it or not. Not good enough is not good enough. And Kellie was not good enough.

Dude's been freighttraining his way to the hoop getting whacked for nearly 2 decades now...hardly ever misses games with injuries...and yet...HeS SaWfT!

But also hasn't played 70 games in a season since being in Cleveland...guess those were all non injury related misses?

Who the hell is Kim Ogg?

Who gives a who Kim Ogg is.

Thus, they're looking to replace their coach? As for Bronny, will he even make it to the NBA?

Wtf…

That's because female employees working under a man can influence situations at times. When they work for another woman, a tool is taken from their tool box.

Not always

People need to calm the F down.

Honestly, the silly little semi-threat about getting it right is rich. That bunch got who they wanted after Pat then again after Warlick. Now it's someone else's fault? White? Come on. With a money loser like WBB, they're lucky White bothered to make a change this time. Waste of money is a waste of money. What do they want next? Same NIL funds as football? Mens basketball? Pfftt...

 

[SugarCC]

How many National PoTys have we had in the Big Three sports?

I'm guessing LVs has at least one, surely Candace has one, if not Holdsclaw and maybe another.

Football, we all know the Heisman history.

MBB? Not sure if Houston or Ernie ever won.

Holdsclaw was a 2-Time National POTY.
Tameka Catchings and Todd Helton were National POTY, as well.

WBB does generate a fair amount of money. I'd think it would support a good amount of NIL funds, not like Football of course.

Oh, Great!

What are the odds his middle name is Scott?........

April 3, 1973
The first cell phone call was made on April 3, 1973, by Motorola engineer Martin Cooper from Sixth Avenue in New York while walking between 53rd and 54th streets.

Cooper hoisted the 2 1/2-pound prototype to his ear and called a rival, Joel Engel of Bell Laboratories at AT&T, to declare that his Motorola team had devised a functional portable phone. “There was silence at the other end of the line,” Cooper recalled to Bloomberg in 2015. “To this day, Joel doesn’t remember that call, and I’m not sure I blame him.”

The clunky “shoe” phone, almost as big as a shoebox, allowed a user to talk for 35 minutes and required 10 hours to recharge, according to Wired magazine.

I'm convinced. . . Nico is the best college QB in the last 20 years. It's possible he may be the best QB you've ever seen play. He'll win the Heisman the next 2 years. They may give him the Heisman the year after he graduates, because he's so good. I don't think we'll lose a game while he's here. He'll have an impact on the QB's that follow him to the point that they'll be much better than anyone else in the country. His impact will last for years. We may never lose another game at Tennessee in our lifetime.

Feel the same.

Sure wish this vitriol over the LVs would stop. Ironic that some of the people kvetching the most aren't even staunch supporters of the program.

This is awesome with John Wards voice.

Outrage is fashionable.

And tiresome.

LeBron is soft.

Now you've seen it said.

If you want to post your phone number, someone will call and tell you the same thing, then you would've heard it.

They called him Charmin in college!

So true. And, what's most frustrating is that so many people kick in to 'outrage mode' before having good facts. Or, without the ability to utilize critical thinking skills.
