Recruiting Football Talk VIII

So we arent on Howard Wallace III's list? Of course
On the bright side, we are rumored to be on Thurston Howell III's list. Who knows....he might be able to bring a couple of his mates with him. Skipper, with his girth, would make for a decent interior OL and his little buddy might make a decent WR in time. He'll need time in the S&C program tho. Way too thin to help right away.
 
Are you talking about this? Bottom of the Forums page.

We seriously have 67000+ members on here yet can’t get more than 4500 to join the Vol Club??? That’s pathetic! If only 30,000 joined and donated $10 a month, that’s $3.6 million a year that goes to NIL to help land the best players possible. There’s strength in numbers. Sad we can’t take better advantage of our numbers.

I bet the professor would be a good DC.
 
Half the comments are arguing I’m with one another instead of info and opinions. My gosh. WTH has happened to volnation?

I enjoy others’ comments and opinions, even if I disagree. I can’t stand the name calling and bashing due to someone having a different opinion. I’m a passionate person but respect others. The sad thing is, you now see this in the business world.

Go Vols!

How many of those 67k are active, though? Maybe 10k? Probably lower? I love this website, but there’s no 67k people actively participating on a weekly basis.

Hell, I can do $10 a month even at my salary..lol.. where do i sign up?? Could even do more depending on monthly salary.🤷‍♀️
 
Looks like I owe @EJVOL4LIFE an apology! My bad, my man!
U don't owe me an apology buddy. I didn't know midwit was a thing either!! I thought he just misspelled nitwit, tbh. But I do appreciate the thought and gesture, which is very rare on here. The testosterone in here is ridiculous or should I say,estrogen!! If I'm wrong about something, it does not bother me to man up and admit I was wrong and I usually apologize depending on the person. And as evident, you are one of the few as well. But the majority of the posters on here would rather take an @$$ whippin than admit they were wrong!! Puzzling how a bunch of grown men and I assume a few women act like a bunch of teenagers right after their 1st true love breakup!! Emotional as 🔥 !!! But anyways, like I said, I didn't know that either so don't feel bad, bro. But again, thank you
for acknowledging that you might be wrong even though you weren't, at least to me.

I've been wrong well enough times to develop a bit of an immunity. Turns out it's @Vawlz that I owe the apology to.

Attacking? Your being dramatic. And it wasn't being overly generous. You are also misrepresenting with your two points.

I told him I appreciate his recruiting info. He claimed that Elarbee gets no credit for the recruitment, yet the recruit gave him lots of credit. I asked about that. He claimed to be just sharing facts with no opinion on that. Then he admitted that he was just passing on other peoples' "sentiments", i.e. opinions.

I in no way attacked him. I was actually respectful and gave him credit/thanks for his recruiting info. The exchange is still there. Anyone can go read it.

Do you know what's NOT still there? The attacks by the angry-people after the fact. If Butch or myself had attacked him, our posts wouldn't still be there to be read. The admins would have cleaned it up with the name calling that swooped in immediately after.
It has been disturbing and fascinating to watch. Take this little exchange right here, b/t you and @Vawlz ...

He said about you two, and I quote, "attacking King for daring to question Elarbee's legendary recruiting prowess".


I mean...is there anything else to say about the absurdity of these last few days? The irony of that quote.

You need to tell the Vol Club merch shop to create an ugly Christmas sweater for next Christmas. I guarantee that will sell out within 48 hours. I’d drop $75 on a TN themed ugly Christmas sweater.

Actually I just heard from On3 that Thurston Howell is staying at the University of Gilligan's Island A&M Community College. Skipper and Gilligan are both returning to form a dynamic trio on offense. Favored to win the natty next year. Bad thing is they still need to sign 8 more players in addition to the 3 via the transfer portal or will have to forfeit the season due to insufficient # of players on the offensive side of the ball. Defense is stacked led by All MISS American, Ginger!! She is a firecracker!! Hate to be the bearer of bad news but someone has gotta do it! Sorry I'm an idiot sometimes. Just bored as no other!!
 
If it was paid through the school then yes but NIL is third party so they have no ability to make this ruling

But I think that is what this is referring to. It’s a part of the House settlement that is about to bring revenue sharing to college athletics. My reading is that this is basically going to require the $20 million pot that schools divide up to now be equally distributed, but yes all the standard NIL stuff won’t change.
