Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[TN-POSSUM]

So Holden Staes is gonna be playing for his 3rd school in 3 years now?

Maybe Mama shoulda named him
"Dropsan Leaves"???



Thanks folks. I'll be here all week. Don't forget to tip your waitress.

WR room would be in dire situation

Why? Because an undersized WR that is injury prone wants to leave? We usually only use 3-4 receivers anyways.

Its already dire lol

At the beginning of the season, there was a poster who insinuated that the staff thought Staes wasn’t quite as dynamic as they first thought. I thought it was a bit premature and he had showed some solid play, but maybe they’ve recruited what he would contribute. Kitselman coming back certainly makes it a strong position for us.

It was me. I shared what Basilio was hearing from Fall camp. It wasn’t well received but appears to have been accurate.

There’s been a lot of chatter that Staes was probably a miss. Lean on MK and Davis next year while getting Jack and Brahme ready.

Don’t think we’ll miss Staes

I think he was relegated mostly to blocking.

Kitselman coming back also affects decisions being made. He was clearly the favored TE.

That's worse than any pun @McDad , @drvenner , or @peaygolf have ever told.

Probably not really, but hyperbole felt like the way to go.

Is there another ham as good a Honey Baked Hams?

Squirrel was part of the reason it was a dire situation. He is no better now than he was as a freshman.

 

[Weezer]

Maybe we'll get lucky and when their teams get eliminated, Trey Wingo and Carnell Tate will hit the portal.

Okay, it's not going to happen, but I'm just trying to remain positive.

 

[butchna]

The ignore feature has really made it seem quite a bit better for me. Hopefully more people will use it and stick around. It’s sad how many of our better fans and posters are leaving.

Mine’s extensive and yes…twss.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

We get to see Burtch Jones' team tonight. You think Bowling Green will beat them by a lot?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Pitt, smh

 

[VolGee4]

Pitt, smh

Narduzzi coaches scared.

 

[JacketVol]

Everyone calm down. Losing one player isnt end of the world. I think it's concerning, but not end of the world.

At LB it is. We can't afford to lose him unless we bring another in and I don't see us getting one better out there.

Well good thing AP confirmed this was only a rumor.


**I’m also making a big assumption AP is correct**

 

[JacketVol]

Yeah, this time of the year brings some great memories. Both my Granny and Mom have died and I miss that borderline burned sausage and bacon, especially during the holidays. Man, I would give anything to have my Mom's hot sausage balls, again. Damn, I just threw out a softball, "twss" didn't I ?

I made hot sausage balls for Christmas this year using my mom's recipe and they were DANG good.

Not so fast

Acc is so bad.

 

[WesTnVol]

I really like that Saban retired due to NIL "leveling the playing field" but I'm really starting to hate NIL and what college sports is becoming, especially football. I didn't expect to read "Arion Carter possibly hitting the portal". I thought he was our next big time leader of our defense. And I also thought we had another Cameron Carr mid-season portal hopper, when I read the post about "Bishop Boswell coming back". I forgot he was injured and just returning from that.


I don't think anything can be done about the money being paid or tampering but a 1 time transfer has to be implemented or it's just going to keep deteriorating college sports.

This really sucks.

I’m sure there is some volnation lawyers on here can answer this for me/us.
Is it possible to back load NIL deals for HS recruits and portal transfers so that you get most of your money when stay versus leaving jumping from school to school. Some of these players are going to be going to there 3 school in 4 years.

No way they have indisputable evidence to overturn with no shot down the line

 

[GVol1966]

What?! Seriously? I thought this kid was going GA route?

Could be back after he’s done playing.
Maybe him and Heupel had a discussion and it’s a win , Win.
He can go somewhere and play a year and open up a spot on the roster for UT.
