Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Our defense sans safety really has a shot at being special.

Yea, but they sure can reed gud.

 

[drvenner]

Did you and the other passengers have to pedal?

I'm on the return flight now. In the engine area, I saw hamsters running on their wheels. They had some, um, large glutes.

 

[drvenner]

No clue what it even means.

If they issue a UT belt because we won the National Titty (I know some here don't like the term "Natty"), then I'll be fine with us getting one.

I do, however, enjoy the term, titty.

Sorry SaS, I just couldn't help myself.

 

[Buzzbait]

I am over the top jealous. Bonefish have incredible speed,strength, and stamina.

 

[MarcoVol]

The coaches don’t bear any responsibility for player development? That’s on odd take.

Not in the offseason. Players are given every tool necessary to develop. It’s up to them to follow through.

 

[85SugarVol]

Not in the offseason. Players are given every tool necessary to develop. It’s up to them to follow through.

We have a Coach whose sole responsibility is player development, even (especially) in the offseason.

Obviously the majority of it is on the players.

But to completely absolve the Coaches of any responsibility for development in the offseason, at a major P5 program, seems off to me.

 

[butchna]

Okay. Okay. I've got some time today with no work computer. I'll get to work on it.

It’s gonna suck losing to Chattanooga.

 

[volbeast33]

If players didn’t develop in the offseason, that’s on the players, not the coaches.

It’s on both the players and the coaches.

 

[MarcoVol]

It’s on both the players and the coaches.

Yes but coaches are less involved in offseason. Thems the rules

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's a myth.

You having observational skills is a myth..

 

[MidTennVol]

Please go back to your previous format. It doesn’t matter what others think. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the original format. If someone doesn’t like it, then they should just scroll through it.

I agree, I have really enjoyed your devotionals.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

We have the #1 player on the list and the only freshman on the list. I'm not sure we can play the ESPN hates us card on this one.

Uhmm...we have multiple decades of slight and insult thrown at us...we will ALWAYS play that card!

 

[knoxvol52]

You having observational skills is a myth..

I was going to argue but now I will just ignore and scroll on past your BS replies just as you should mine.

Besides Jourdan, has there been any significant injuries where someone will miss part of the season?

The Rickey Gibson hamstring is concerning to me. I know the timeline for a hamstring suggests he'll be back but the fantasy footballer in me says preseason hamstrings linger and get reaggravated

No

How concerned should we be at safety? Camp rumblings have not been positive there and I would hate for that to cost us a game or two and miss out on the playoffs (when we’re so talented elsewhere). Do you think the staff did enough to address that position group this offseason, whether it be transfer portal or development?

Of all the things to be concerned about, this is the #1 (and assuming no injuries.. #2 and #3 imo). idk if we did enough- I certainly wish we had more there. Kamari Ramsey was who we really wanted there but he just followed his DB coach from UCLA to USC.

Overall id give the portal an A/A- for how many guys we hit on but I wish we had another guy at S.

If Boo is coming on, could we see Harrison slide to safety?

Not early on. Maybe later in the year. Harrison has been a really pleasant surprise. Thomas getting hurt just sucks.

 

[LaagerVol]

Drunks at high altitudes...What could go wrong?

I’m surprised no one has fallen from the current upper deck

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Never thought I’d see the day we finally get our Trevor Lawerence and people make it a thing with a walk on back up.

Lol...I don't call a very loud, extremely stupid portion of our fanbase "The Idiot Margin" for no reason..

Will do. Thanks

Have you seen enough to believe we'd have a realistic chance to beat a team like UGA on the road?

Also does the staff seems as optimistic in person as they appear to be fron afar?

 

[Orange_Crush]

It’s on both the players and the coaches.

Coaches can't "coach" in the offseason. That's like saying that a good manager after giving all the needed tools to a lazy employee, shares responsibility for that employee's failures.

These players are people; not avatars.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

BMF is goated. Pretty sure I watched all his videos a few years ago. The man doesn't lose.

And yet he isn't a pound overweight. Life most definitely isn't fair...

I could eat like that and not gain weight until I was put on Gabapentin back in 2003...that horse crap absolutely ruined my metabolism.

Dyslexia is real. Your game threads could garner 0-16

If the manager hired the lazy employee, he does indeed share responsibility. And if he's unable to motivate someone he hired not to be lazy, he also shares responsibility.

What other job does a manager have than to hire well, motivate, and train?

Sally says you better just sit this one out. . .

North Carolina Seems Primed for Private Equity. Why Is It Passing?

Bubba Cunningham explains why UNC isn't taking PE cash and envisions a future where major NCAA programs consolidate more of its business operations.

www.sportico.com

UNC is among many other lower tier schools in the country that are well on their way to selling their souls to the devil(Private Equity) for extra cash because of all this realignment business.
We are truly blessed to have a program rich in tradition and money and to have an AD that is creating new revenue sources to help us when we have to start paying these players directly through revenue sharing.

Yet, people are still complaining about a fuel station logo on our field and high ticket prices when there’s other schools that are quite literally selling their futures down the river.

I don't mind the logo. Ticket prices should be addressed. The tickets being sold through a place like Ticketmaster and all the fees charged are ridiculous.

Considering all the funds being produced by the football program, they could afford to cut the prices, or find a way to sell them without using an outside distributor.Too much greed.
