Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[LittleVol]

I was only joking, thought people would catch it.

I know you meant it as a joke. (Tongue and cheek)

But ..being for real. Belichick did exactly that haha. And they were good WRs too!

It's not my statement, it's the ranking from a service the NFL even uses for draft and eval purposes.

Exactly, there are no stats. The folks that sit down, are knowledgable of the game and position, and watch every single game, do the ratings.

According to experts he's the best P5 guy at the position. The NFL draft boards seem to agree (or at least not disagree). He's going to have to pick a position in the NFL (from what I've seen at least).

There isn't a consensus like you're making it sound. I've seen plenty of opinions where he's not even top 10, other have him just inside the top ten, others have him as #1.

I remember as a kid hearing the story of Moises Alou peeing in his hands every day to “harden” them so he didn’t have to wear batting gloves. Like what?

I have heard long term exposure to acid toughens skin. Pee is acidic, so maybe that's it?

I see it differently. The mercenary players with no heart will flock to the high dollar teams with no soul. It will work for a while (uga, texas, osu), but not always (ole miss, bama).

Sustainable development will always work for others (Oregon, Tennessee). The route to success is more likely our way than theirs.

The coaches who push for the highest paid teams will ultimately lose not only their team, but the fanbase, their donors and ultimately their job. For example, watch the plight of day and kiffin. Day’s seat is hot and will go nuclear if he loses to Tennessee. He will coach to not lose and essentially coach scared for his job. The osu fans will storm the field when they lose to Tennessee, but not in joyous celebration rather to catch Day for some tar and feathers.
Just watch.

We will triumph in the end! DW is doing it right. Our coaches are not chasing the mercenaries in any sport and it saves our fans heartache and frustration over wasted money. Just watch.

14-2

I like your scenario better than mine and really hope you are right. I’m going to enjoy the now and let tomorrow worry about the future. Ultimately some common sense gaurd rails have to be put in place because the current structure is basically no structure. I do like the current Tennessee way and it’s clearly working across all our sports. I just don’t have much confidence in the NCAA and Sankey and the BIG commissioner.

he was... fast.

Fastest human I recall seeing in Neyland was Raghib Ismael. I can still remember vividly the feeling of watching that dude run a kickoff back.

There have been some special Vols though. Cordarelle had underrated speed. I think EB had underrated speed.

But, any list not containing the following name should be shredded.

One of my fave Vols, Dale Carter.

I started following the Vols when Bobby Majors was returning punts. He was very good at it as well

Side note here but VFL. JaVonta Payton got contacted by the Denver Broncos and they’re going to check him out. Injury main concern about getting a shot but have him in your thoughts for good luck. Great family.

Ryan Day liked Brokeback Mountain because he thought it had a great story line.

 

[Aesius]

10-0 feels good, man.

If some teams ahead of them lose and the Gators knock off Kentucky at Rupp, there’s a possibility we go to Gainesville for an undefeated No. 1 vs undefeated No. 2 matchup.

Ryan Day thinks Leatherface got his look from smoking too much.

 

[Orange.]

Ryan Day was supposed to be in a Charmin commercial but they said he is too soft.

Watching this 'kings of the north' podcast... These guys just don't know... Lol. They've boiled it down to...'they aren't good at passing, so stop Sampson, and double James Pearce, game over'

stopping sampson is easy just ask Georgia Alabama Oklahoma Vanderbilt Mississippi State Kentucky Florida Arkansas UTC Kent State UTEP or NC State what they did

By the way, ticket prices have DROPPED a lot (or a lot of cheaper sections have come available)

he is not wrong

 

[ShelbourneVol]

Jobbed again. We should have won by 3.

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

he is not wrong

facts.

the disrespect is insane.

i get he had a few fumbles towards the end of the year, but having your team in the CFP, which owes a ton to dsamp's success, should carry some significance...right?

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

not sure if this espn clip will show up for everyone
great discussion w/ Slay at the end of the segment

 

[JP_UT_O&W]

lulz - why not both

 

[MarcoVol]

he is not wrong

Love D Samp and he’s a baller but don’t agree with this at all

 

[Wickman]

Ryan Day prefers GoBots over Transformers

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

23 of 25 signees are EEs!! The 2 exceptions are Joakim Dodson & Charles House.

Some will arrive early enough to travel for CFP
