Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Nash_Vol97]

This premise is the silliest case I have read in a while. Little leagues are competitive with each other, but not with MLB.
BIG 12 can be competitive with itself, but take any team outside of TX and OK and they end up getting blasted in the SEC. Vandy could win games in the BIG 12.

Most competitive != Best League

I don’t think that’s what he is saying either. Just because you are the most competitive league doesn’t mean your group of teams are collectively the best teams in the nation. It’s just an interesting stat to point out which conferences have the most close games/blowouts. If I’m betting on CFB, I’d want to know this. If I’m trying to decide what league has the best collection of teams, this stat on its own doesn’t really help me.

That’s insane

 

[SpringBokVol]

The first, second and third All-SEC teams are a JOKE

 

[jpope9]

Lol

I mean.....he's not wrong.

true titan fans hate the ravens, I dont remember rooting for tuu tuu when he went to bama.

 

[Rockytop10nessee]

I usually start to and then say to myself "Nah no one will need blue font for this one". And I'm usually wrong. But it happens to me too. Product of an environment where people say some wild stuff lol.

Glad were back on the same page!

Good grief, Rory and Tiger

Should be a building that has a sign "The Biscuit Place" above it. Does that help.

 

[JohnnyD1024]

Simone Biles shouldn't be top 40

She absolutely should

In more important news.

Does anyone else think over the next ten years Texas becomes one of our bigger rivalries? Seems like a lot of natural history there.

 

[kemotoe]

The point of blue font is that if you don’t use it, the board should assume that you are saying something that you really believe. I read your post and thought, “Jesus, it seems sarcastic but he didn’t use the blue font so he must be serious. Yikes.” Lol

Doesn’t using blue font take away from the sarcasm? Can it be real sarcasm if you are letting everybody know it’s sarcasm?

Disclaimer: I realize that it's just summer league basketball and most of the guys playing are either 2nd or 3rd year guys trying to break out, recent draftees, G League players, end of bench depth or guys who probably never see much real game action.

That said.....Dalton really is looking like he is going to continue to elevate his game to the competition he plays and be a high level NBA player who is immediately in the rotation and probably starting eventually as a rookie. He stands out as one of the best and most consistent guys in every summer league game and against better competition than he typically played in college.

I hope he stays healthy because he is looking like he is probably going to have the best NBA career of any Vol in history if he stays healthy. I can't wait to watch him this season....first time that I will watch regular season NBA in two decades and nearly a decade for the playoffs.

Lol

Derrick Henry! Hilarious!

I agree and hope along with you.

Except for the "better competition" than he played at UT remark. I've only watched 2 Lakers summer games and they didn't look tougher than our best competition to me. Idk. Don't mind if I am! Of course I was mostly watching his team, which is really bad. No doubt at all the NBA will be a major jump in competition.

CBS gets the B1G TV contract and "breaks" an alleged "SEC oversells" story as the season nears.

allll-righty.

In more important news.

Welcome to the SEC! Hey TEX, you‘re just one of the member schools and nothing special.

 

[SugarCC]

Derrick Henry is probably my all time favorite RB.

I was going to drag you for this, also remembering your nonsense during baseball season; but, I'm a fair guy and recall this, as well...

I’m no longer a NegaVol. From this day forward I vow to put my best foot forward. Please keep this as receipt. I have been delivered. Go Vols and most importantly Jesus is King!

...so I'll let you slide a bit. However!!! I can't let you off scott free, because you still disgust me, somewhat...



He could've won multiple Super Bowls for the Titans, and it still wouldn't erase THAT stain.

Problem is I read too many comments on here where people are being serious and their comments are absolutely stupid and most people would assume it is sarcasm………

 

[Lloyd_Christmas]

Uh, you could give a more accurate description than 'that Biscuit Place,' cmon man. That could be anywhere.

That's the name.

There’s a huge drop off after the top 8-9. There’s a realistic scenario in which the top 7 teams finish with 9+ wins. And the bottom 5 don’t win more than 4 games.

if that holds true, we are 10-2

hey a rhyme.

My son has finally decided on a career path. He wants to be a roofer. I will fully support him. He is just beginning to learn the trade, but his boss says he is picking up everything really quickly. I mean, he's not the best roofer in the world yet, but he is up there.

 

[Orange.]

Man we could have a pretty stacked 25 class. Sitting at 12th right now with 17 commits... quite a few 4/5 stars we're still heavily involved with that could help push our ranking into top 10 easily... Would say depending on how final ratings go for players we're still within reach of a top 5 finish in recruiting if we land most the high rated guys still interested.

Exciting times!

Do the rankings use class average of class combined total?

He's prolly suffering from shingles.

Paul is correct.

I loved DH as a Titan fan and hope he cements his hall of fame legacy. But I DO NOT want to see him win a super bowl there! Are you kidding!? No real Titan fan would want that.

The Titlers are garbage at personnel decisions and rode DH hard and put him away wet for years. He gave his all for that org and did everything right as a player and a person from what I can tell. I hope he wins multiple SB's anywhere else he goes to further prove that the Titlers don't know what the heck they are doing and amazing players don't have a prayer of sniffing a championship by coming to Nashville under the current leadership. I used to be a huuuuuge Titans fan but they have just utterly run the thing in to the ground and continue to make questionable decision after questionable decision. Good luck the DH!!! He deserves success after getting used up in this org.
