Recruiting Football Talk VII

[DD4ME]

Why would we add this guy and lose Sampson? Makes no sense….

Don't think we are but more had mentioned him. I am reminded though that we get our name used by recruits to drive price. Most agree we have deep pockets when we want.

I actually think we can do 2 for 1 there. They were solid players but not something that can't be replaced. I'm just not sure Barnes and company want to play those games. He's interested in players that their sole purpose isn't squeezing every nickel out of a program. Unfortunately, I think the pool of those players is pretty small.

Yep...that is my fear as well.

I hate the purely mercenary nature of players now...is this what everybody wanted when they wanted players to be able to get something for their efforts?...I want them to, but this is exactly what I feared would happen....that it would just turn into a chaotic garbage heap of pure unadulterated greed on all sides.

They don't care about us...ZERO...so why should we care about them?

Fans...you know..the ones that offer our time, money and hearts to these players and coaches, the thing that makes it all possible...are nothing to these people.

I hate losing animals. Will be upset when any of our Horses or mini cows go.

I have a 30-something horse that is completely blind now. She's still going but I know her time will come soon....... But I've been saying that for a year now.......I know exactly what you mean, even if you've prepared yourself you're never ready for it.

Good Question

For me it might be Wild Child by the Black Keys.

Seek and Destroy

 

[volbeast33]

I gotta agree. I think we need to all begin prepping for next year being a tough one.

I think the majority that left is a good thing.

Barnes is going to retire on his own terms, having made our job more attractive. That's a real accomplishment.

Edit: I know you were being sarcastic

I don't know about sarcasm, more like a excellent historian.

 

[rikberry31]

Eh UK is having a hard time landing their targets bc their targets are national championship winning current coaches. Not many of those exist.

Besides Oats. That’s really the only surprise to me that he didn’t want to participate in the convo

So far the KU's targets have played it like rookies. They need to allow speculation to percolate for a while in order to leverage a lucrative extension.

 

[volsagain]

All these players transferring out but sorta quiet with the portal at the same time.......bet this staff is making moves right now. Calm before the storm IMO

These guys are just going to work harder to put a team back together. Sometimes it's the luck of the draw and now money will be a big factor for most .

 

[butchna]

This time last year we were fretting over next season's roster...then Knecht. Stopped panicking with Barnes and losing players after Punter left.

Sorry, there is no way a backpack is more manly than cargo shorts. Real men wear overall cut offs (unhemmed) as casual summer wear. And house shoes are for inside or getting the mail.

Yeah, I’m not taking attire advice from some metro sporting a backpack.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

good to know he will be back for camp..last I saw on here back when it occured was Oct timeline.

Every time I hear something it seems further away each time. I don't think anyone outside of Cam, his family, players & the staff really know. I hope he's back for fall camp. I was really looking forward to seeing what he can do.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Lol. Y'all love absolutes. I am not creating a middle fallacy for anything. If a kid with low iq does we'll on a test through study and hard work I don't remind him how low he scored against the mean.

The same rules can apply to every struggle a human has, and we all have some.

The statement in question is closer to telling him that there's no need to study than smiling quietly and encouraging him for the studying he did. Again, the point in question was telling obese people that health isn't about the amount of weight lost. Similar sentiment in your example would be to just tell less smart people that there's no need to study.

I'll offer another example. The phrase "Mad as a hatter" was a disparaging insult based on the fact that hat-makers went crazy quite often. They formed the bills of hats by chewing them. Turns out they were ingesting toxic chemicals while doing so that caused brain damage. Would it be kinder to affirm them by denying the health consequences, or tell them, "Guys, you'll be healthier if you stop chewing on toxic chemicals."?

Some lucky person is gonna get a gem from carvana….

It is why you don’t but from Carvana

 

[JT3]

Why would we add this guy and lose Sampson? Makes no sense…

We won't be kicking the tires here. Rumored kid turned down $400K to stay at Oregon St. We definitely wouldn't pay more to come here. We have bigger needs and limited spots.

LOL. ONLY sell to Carvana. Never buy from them.

Tiger's problem isn't birdying early holes. It's making it to later holes.

 

[JCVol00]

Aidoo got bullied in the sec/ncaa tournaments this year, as well as throughout the season against the 6’10 or taller C’s. He also let a freshman play more than him in the E8, so I think he wasn’t that great to begin with, and we can upgrade in the portal

Well, looks like he just yanked his tee shot into the creek on 2.

Edit: Nope, ran it up next to a tree.

Will anybody be able to move that tree for him?

 

[Orange_Crush]

De'Chump Bo Went pretty low.

 

[SmokinBob]

Any other AD loses him when LSU came calling.

Exactly

I just spent a freaking hour unclogging the shower, bathtub, and both vanity sinks. I feel very drained.
