Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jimmy Football]

Well, it looks like Vandy fans have anchored down in baseball to their customary position for all the other sports.

Hope they enjoyed the ride.

 

[BigOrange15]

Vandy fans getting salty now that they lost their recruiting advantage. Just makes for sweeter tears.

Conveniently forgetting that they built their program and recruiting on the back of what essentially amounts to legal cheating.

The fact that so many LeBron haters on here now have to cheer for him warms the cockles of my heart.

Not cheering FOR LeBron. What are you doing with your heart?

 

[tn4elvis]

Agree, he's an idiot bammer. The fact that a bammer thinks he lecture anybody about class is laughable. He's garbage like the rest of the inbred DAs in Tuscaloosa.

He’s a Texas born idiot. Probably mad TV told the Horns not no but hell no

 

[VolFreakJosh]

It seems like almost every time we see a commit to another school on this board and look at the prospect it's a composite 4-star or higher.

Yeah because Tennessee is the only school that signs 3 stars.

Where do you guys come up with this crap?

 

[vol_in_ga]

He should cut him a fat check. I woulda dove out the way.

Sarkisian & Schlossnagle sounds like a law firm set in a Dr. Seuss book

 

[Jackcrevol]

Starksneezin & Schlongdingle sounds like a law firm set in a Dr. Seuss book

Correct

[Rishvol]

big facts don’t @ me

Aka. Tennessee pro sports are confused by Tennessee fans not bowing to them because they're pro sports

 

[TrippieRedd]

Imagine sitting there and watching him just lay it off the back board.

“Yup, dominant”

On the other hand, Sark & Schloss sounds like a weird drink order you might make while on vacation in Germany.

Cockles hehe

Internet went out yesterday so im just now catching up

Grizzlies WTF you doing?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

are we sure that black has become our primary color? if you added up all of the jersey combos worn for every game in baseball, and across all sports, I think you would still find that orange has been and remains the primary color

every black alteration that has happened with our jerseys in the last 10 or so years has simply been replacing white with black. which I think makes the orange pop more as well and really accentuates our specific shade of orange.

I love the Dark Modes...which is weird because everybody knows I am a usually a hard core traditionalist...but...all the way back in the 90s I used to find some Vol garb and hats that were were black and orange here and there, and I would always buy them and wear them. They were not official Tennessee merch...but I loved them and everybody always asked where I got them.

At flea markers and swap meets.

I have ALWAYS wanted a black and orange alternate combo...so I'm happy about it.

I mean Ryan Dunn a 6'8" shooting guard from Virginia was taken by the Nuggets in the 1st round (traded to Suns). He's played in 65 games is a career 5.5 ppg, 5.0 rpg shooting guard that's shot 23.5% from deep and 52.5% from the line and he's 21 to boot.

 

[BigOrange15]

Why, did they foul out all the players he was practicing against?

Yea..............I'll believe it when I see it. NBA is a different beast.

there isn't that big a difference between college game and the NBA game. In terms of Edey's domination. He will absolutely translate to pros, as much as I hate it.

 

[mrMet]

I see college and pros very differently. I went to UT.

You also live/from east TN right? So that skews it too. Much easier and affordable for me to go to Titans games my entire life vs as many Vols games

 

[peaygolf]

They have needed a "Big Man" for a few years, but this is a major stretch imo.......I hope it works out.

A friend of mine is an assistant coach for the Grizz.......Let's just say they were thrilled to get Zach. We shall see....................

Until he's getting his ankles broken by Chet or Wembanyama while they also send back his soft ass layups.

I mean the West is full of bigs. Wemby, Chet, AD, Gobert, Kessler, Giannis, Jokic, Sabonis...

I think he'll contribute though. Big, strong and he can rebound. Mostly just don't think many will look back at a 6-8 year career of 8/8 and think "great value at the 9 pick" is all.

So we are shaving aluminum bats in between steroid injections?

I don’t believe those organizations are confused at all

Also having been to both a few times, Titans games are so much more enjoyable and less stressful. Parking situation is easy, crowd management to and from stadium figured out, fan experience is far better and seats more comfortable. The energy of the crowd isn't quite as epic...even for lesser teams the Vols fans are a lot more into it.
