Recruiting Football Talk VII

Final in 10 innings

UNC 4
LSU 3

So close.......View attachment 645730

Was honestly hoping the #4 national seed wouldn't advance further. LSU in Omaha would've been much easier $$.

That said, I'll never decry LSU falling flat on their faces.

I'm more concerned about Leacock than Bradley. I still have faith both will find themselves on the field during mop up duty this fall and be competing for real snaps next year.

I thought Leacock would see a little playing time this year.

A few months back I had to put my 10.5 year old pit rescue, Deebo, down due to hemangiosarcoma. He is the brown pit laying in the yard. My wife and kids have been wanting another dog but I haven’t reached that point yet. A couple weeks ago we had our neighbors over and they noticed his pictures everywhere and asked about him. The wife ended up telling us about her friends mom who has a 12 mo old Great Dane/Pit and he is too much dog for her and her work schedule. Well…..we ended up hosting her and the pup and he fit right in with our family. He favors Deebo in looks (except much bigger) and has the exact same demeanor. I swear it’s like Deebo sent him to us. We have adopted this 90lb maniac and couldn't be happier with him. His name was Baxter and we decided to change his name. I introduce to Volnation, Nico!

Not enjoying reading about other teams visits highs with our targets while we wait for our two big weekends. When did June become such a stressful recruiting month?!

 

[Devo182]

We've never been this good at so many sports in decades. We have a lot of other stuff to talk about until football and major recruiting dates.

4 years ago we'd all be handwringing over recruiting or arguing about 60 things and instead we are enjoying the times.

Almost all yard gnomes wear red hats. It's a little gnome fact.

It's the recruiting forum community thread. It happens to have football in the title. If you were a participant in the community you'd know that. If you don't wish to participate in the community there probably isn't a great reason to be here.

"If ya ain't a damn moran, take yer knickers and slippers and just git!"

 

[volbeast33]

Have a hard time believing that. With this S&C program. Cmon. Its about effort and work.

I remember reading that there were questions about whether he could add the necessary weight to play the position.

 

[volbeast33]

Pearce was the same size when he came in and I'd be suprised if he were over 240 now. Josephs looks even smaller than Pearce.

I think a pass rusher can play at 220 due to the speed advantage, but they're a liability in Run D. That's the risk I suppose.

Pearce is listed at 242

 

[SoilVol]

Pearce is listed at 242

So about what I thought he was. He put on 20lbs. I think Bradley has also put on 20 bc he was lighter

It does make me wonder about the purpose of the off topic thread since many discussions could be moved there. Probably due to a road less traveled

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I remember reading that there were questions about whether he could add the necessary weight to play the position.

I remember wondering how he could be a 5* at his size. I consider a 5* as a player who could potentially come in and start as a freshman or at least get on the field. It was obvious he wasn't going to be able to do that, just based on his build out of high school.

Hopefully he can add the weight needed and eventually help on the field.

June 4, 1942
The Battle of Midway begins. During that morning, after sending planes to attack the U.S. base at Midway, the Japanese carriers Akagi, Kaga and Soryu are fatally damaged by dive bombers from USS Enterprise (CV 6) and USS Yorktown (CV 5). Later in the day, USS Yorktown is abandoned after bomb and torpedo hits by planes from Hiryu. The latter is, in turn, knocked out by U.S. carrier planes. Compelled by their losses to abandon their plans to capture Midway, the Japanese retire westward. The battle is a decisive win for the U.S, bringing an end to Japanese naval superiority in the Pacific.

Before Midway the US Navy didn’t win a major battle against Japan.
After Midway they never lost a major battle against Japan.
Talk about Turing the tide

Exactly. That was a great 2 minutes of television. The host should have been like:

 

[Devo182]

We're just used to being an annual top-10 team now...in men's basketball...


Never thought I'd see that in my lifetime. What a time to a Vol.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

She wont reply. Sally thinks I'm trying to build a time machine to go back and stop her creation.

Great Scotts!

 

[franklinpence]

That tree reminds me of 1 or 2 running around in here.

I think I have ignored all of the pretentious trees. Just don’t have time or patience for nonsense anymore.

 

[Jackcrevol]

several T hats at pool here in SC. One man was teaching his son about 'I, I, agh, mah, lee, ava.'. 'Lots of good players.'

I almost interjected. 'Except Christian Moore, he doesnt hit enough foul balls, and his range is bad at second base.'

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I thought it was just me. He’s on the ground at least two or three times a year being injured during an extra point. Glad someone else noticed this.

2-3 times a year?...didn't you meant 2-3 times a game?

The poor soul givin his all fur Tennessee out there and getting kilt on every extra point...

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I thought Leacock would see a little playing time this year.

Sooo...you're saying you wanna see a little Leacock at some point during the season?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.. @Weezer don't judge..
