Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JCVol00]

I don’t like hearing this one bit.

Not buying it, but kind of arrogant of his family to do that given his production thus far if it is true

 

[Jackcrevol]

deer lord let us please land a transfer OL so everyone will leave the Iamaleava's and other TN fans alone

I don’t like hearing this one bit.

I just listened to the first 5-minutes. Here’s my thing with this, he starts it off by acting like it’s a huge deal only to then come around the 4 minute mark to say “well here’s why I don’t think it’s concerning”. Guys it’s January. The portal is coming to a close and there’s not going to be much news items for TN football. The media needs a story to sell and what better than “the star QB’s family at odds with coaching staff” as a headline? That said, I love what he says around the 5 minute mark. If Nico is elite, TN will either pay him more or he’ll go to the NFL; if he’s meh, then they’ll let him walk and we have good talent that’ll be ready. Nico is a great player, but we all need to stop acting like he’s a god of football. The kid has a lot of development that’s needed in the passing game and, to be frank, leadership skills as well.

Dave Hooker and the boy that can't comb his hair are an embarrassment. I mean anytime I've ever viewed them they seem under the influence. Not kidding. Yikes cringe fest.

Just realized Squirrel signed up to play in a Gus Malzhan offense

Nico? Didnt he have the best season ever for a RS Fr QB at UT?

Watching that I’m actually curious, and I don’t mean this to be an a-hole or anything, but does Dave have some kind of medical condition like Parkinson’s or tourettes? He couldn’t sit still.

4.5 months til May. . .

That kid the decommitted from blama, did he have any interest in us? Which transfer OL are we targeting in the porthole?

Seems like he's on some medication idk lol

Good rule of thumb is to never listen to Caleb Calhoun.

But also it wouldn’t be surprising if a QB’s family wanted the QB to throw the ball more. Seems like common sense.

Whenever someone quotes Calhoun, it just shows you how deep the void goes into obliviousness...or, the level of trolling.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

Watch the throw at the 2:36 mark

 

[The Dog]

Btw, I, also took Williams and Addison on another parlay, one down, one to go.

 

[CAVPUT]

Not a real football player

Well duh. Anyone could see that it's clearly an oompa loompa having a bad hair day.

 

[The Dog]

VFL, Byron Young with a sack

Caleb Calhoun and Dave Hooker should both be ignored at all costs. Infinite amount of nonsensical takes from those two.

With that being said, it shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone that Nico’s family wants him to sling the ball more as well as upgrade an offensive line that at times was pitiful in pass protection.

The only time their show produces anything resembling a good take is when they have Steve Hamer on during basketball season.

I mean…his stats weren’t great. 201 ppg is decent, but take away the 11 tds vs utc, vandy and utep he has 8 pass td to 4 int (taking away vandy int as well), which isn’t exactly great leveraging #’s

I can't argue at all if that's what they wanted. I'm in their corner on most of it. I'm undecided on the contract demands.

A lot of QB's look a whole lot different if you start hacking into their stats from productive games. Hopefully it was a talent/play calling issue that slowed production in SEC play and it gets worked out. He can make any throw when he isn't hearing footsteps as soon as he steps on the field.

@Weezer moves to the edge of this cave dwelling.

That's their schitck. I refuse to listen to those clowns.

I learned about Caleb Calhoun when he turned that one place into a rag when he first started. They've been trying to wash that stink off of them since. They may never recover. . . (assuming he doesn't write for them anymore )
