Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Glitch]

That makes zero sense. A flute does not have a reed. Clarinets, saxophones, etc. have reeds, but a flute does not.

Might be the black but coach is looking slimmer these days.

I think he played tuba.

Weezer seems more like a Triangle guy. Takes lots of talent to do that

 

[Ten_Titans]

That's so much work to embarrass yourself in front of the entire world...

J.J. McCarty had a nice preseason game and now he is out for a while because of a torn meniscus. About 8 weeks I believe.

Hurt it in the game and played on it. Tough kid, but gotta learn “just rub some dirt on it!” doesn’t apply to the preseason. I think Darnold would’ve started the season anyway. Damper for Viking fans.

 

[butchna]

Can’t remember the players name, but when the Vols won the Sugar Bowl against Miami, they had a walkon CB who led the SEC in interceptions. The RB who torched the canes was also a walkon.

Scholarship status doesn’t always mean that they are the best players on the team…

I think Chris White was on scholarship. Originally signed as a QB. I don’t know about Jeff Powell, but it is more likely since he transferred from William and Mary and was more of a track star previously.

The coaches are giving up some athleticism with Brooks on the field but they are gaining a player they trust and trust to get everyone in the right position.

There were no Olympics in 2006

It isnt just about Boo. To me its just rotating younger guys in. Helps in development.

Anyway, necks.

I'm fine with Will Brooks

But it's when it's late in the 4th quarter of a blow out and guys like Jaylen McCullough are still out there...it doesn't make sense.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

I know we are in football mode but shouldn’t we have already heard about a lifetime contract for TV?

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

That was from the FIBA world cup and actually a couple of those Greek guys spent some time in the NBA.

 

[cncchris33]

He is at least just as good as Small.

Again, how do you know that? What evidence even suggests that? He's not played a single down of football at Tennessee.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

With the Defensive Backfield better at the Corners, I believe CTB will play more in your face press coverage and blitz like hell. He has the studs up front and at LB to play this way now.

I sure hope so because I absolutely hate the soft zone crap that we play!

Kirby's father posted they are still working on the little things in the contract. Ever what that consist of.

 

[mrMet]

Wasn’t he the walk-on or at least one of them that finished the game we won against Bama, when we had a few secondary players go down.

That’s a good question. I’m not sure

I hope Nico ends up on that list at some point.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

She’s worth an estimated $400 million on her own. She’s not hurting for any of Tommy Boy’s money

Exactly

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The reason it's funny was the wife was Gisele, who probably worth more than Brady. Now why would she need his assets, I'm positive he has got his kids financial set up for life.

Exactly...typical greedy freakin witch.

You might end up being correct, but what current evidence is there that Bishop is an upgraded version of Jabari Small? The guy ran for 2100+ yds and 24 TDs in his career while working a pretty even split of carries. Additionally, he averaged over 5 ypc. More than Arian Foster, Jalen Hurd, Jay Graham, Montario Hardesty, and Travis Stephens, among others.

It seems wildly assumptive that a borderline walk-on RB who has yet to take a snap is an automatic upgrade.

This wasn't a knock on Jabari. I just think Bishop is that good, if he stays healthy. When Small signed with UT, he was thought to be a packaged deal to get Big O. Very few fans thought he'd ever see the field. You consider Bishop a borderline walk-on, but his recruitment was an oddity. Did you see him play in high school? He was probably the best RB in the state. Like Small, he won't wow you on paper with measurables. But the kid just produced every single week. I know Seldon is out right now, but did you expect Bishop to be running second behind Sampson to start the season? He's coming back from a season ending injury that happened last preseason himself. His name was the first one mentioned by Heupel after Friday's scrimmage, and he was running against our first team defense. I know he hasn't played a single down, but I definitely wouldn't bet against the kid. I think the Jabari comparison is fair. He's come in with zero hoopla and just put his head down and went to work. Sounds like Jabari Small 2.0 to me.

Ouch.

unfortunately, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

 

[knoxvol52]

It's truly unbelievable how so many fans are freaking out over these Pilot logos being on the field. Pilot is investing millions of dollars into this University, I see no problem with it unless they set Diesel pumps out front for 18 wheelers to use.

What are you all's favorite sleep supplements?

I've heard magnesium helps.

Don't love melatonin due to a bit of grogginess, but it's fine and may try again. And I HATE diphenhydramine.
