The recruiting services and their “expertise.” Just a scam system

I don’t think any of the coaches give a rats arse about recruiting rankings/ratings, except maybe Shane Beamer.

I'm picking Rory again, the guy has to break thru again eventually..

Yep, all those teams that have won national championships lately are paying recruiting services to rate their players highly. They definitely are not rating those players highly because they are talented. The NFL follows along with this of course. I am sure there is no relationship between recruiting rankings and NFL draft picks... Oh...

Yea, the recruiting services follow who teams chase in the recruiting process. Their “analysis” isn’t from them dissecting game film. If they were real talent evaluators, they would be on a college or nfl campus.

Listening to Pili on SEC Network this morning, now I know why Heup selected him!
No bulletin board material and well spoken!

Defense is hard on the game, I’ve played 2 games so far of the season on varsity difficulty and gave up 28 to FCS SE (Chattanooga) and 41 to NC State

You have to look at your secondary players... it'll show what they are best at. Once I called defensive coverages to their strengths I started being able to shut teams down.

So far Bama scoring 28 on me at their place is the most I've given up on Varsity... but I dropped 31 and broke their hearts.

For me the passing has been the hardest to adjust to, you can't really just tap a button to make quick throws and when on the road the crowd noise will just **** all over your QB.

He won't...if he has the lead Sunday on back nine he will choke again. If he ever wins another Major it will be from behind. He has insane Sundays sometimes when he doesn't have the pressure of holding a lead.

The guy wants it TOO bad.

pretty much exactly what you want out of these things and a big reason why darrell taylor was a "concern" when he was selected lmao. Love that dude, one of our all time great crud talkers

July 16, 1945
The world's first nuclear explosion occurred on July 16, 1945, when a plutonium implosion device was tested at a site located 210 miles south of Los Alamos, New Mexico, on the plains of the Alamogordo Bombing Range, known as the Jornada del Muerto. The code name for the test was "Trinity."

Hoisted atop a 100-foot tower, a plutonium device, called "Gadget," detonated at precisely 5:30 am over the New Mexico desert, releasing 18.6 kilotons of power, instantly vaporizing the tower and turning the surrounding asphalt and sand into green glass, called "trinitite." Seconds after the explosion, an enormous blast sent searing heat across the desert, knocking observers to the ground.

Reports from witnesses came from as far as 200 miles away. A forest ranger 150 miles west of the blast said he saw a flash of fire, an explosion and black smoke. An individual 150 miles north said the explosion “lighted up the sky like the sun.”

I agree with this guy that teams would have some sway to get a guy dropped in value. We have seen it first hand when guys flip to us from Bama or UGA. They can't do that on all recruits, buy they can certainly target some.

 

[DarthVol1]

Did anyone bother to ask Kirby about his team incarceration percentages while on stage this morning? Or did the media just ignore it again? I am sure he told everyone about their great locker room culture.....

They (on3) did it with perlotte. Dude was dropped to a 3* a week or so ago

Dropped Gmac too which dropped us 3 spots in the team rankings…this year has been oddly egregious moreso than others and I have been following recruiting since Eric Berry when Rivals was king

Okay, so I have told y’all that one of my patients played for Bear Bryant at bama.
Saw him today and we were talking football. He said that his least favorite place to play was in Neyland!

Said that his assignment as a TE was to block Hacksaw Reynolds. He said it was his worst game ever. He felt like he basically just kinda got in the way, but never slowed Hacksaw down. Never kept him from getting his assignment. Said Hacksaw pretty much kicked his ass every single play. He can laugh about it now.

I know, cool story

He said that he can’t wait to see Nico play. He admits that Nico will be an incredible force in the SEC. He hopes bama can keep up.

Jack "Hacksaw" Reynolds played linebacker for the University of Tennessee Volunteers from 1966–1969, earning his nickname in 1969 after cutting an abandoned car in half following a loss. Some say the car was a 1953 Chevrolet Bel Air, while others claim it was a Porsche. Reynolds was originally a fullback at Western Hills High School in Cincinnati before signing with Tennessee in 1966 and becoming an immediate success for the Vols when he switched to linebacker his sophomore year.

Had to look him up, but speaking of cool stories!!

At least he’s handling it
