Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Orange.]

These porthole meltdowns are tiresome.

Something about like this.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Someone dig up ole spoon boy’s tweet.

This thread has seen a lot of lately between you & @Jimmy Football

I think our best wr is already on the team irregardless of who we bring in, outside of Jeremiah Smith.

I used to think a scholarship, room/board, access to free training and medical, all those perks, was payment enough. After all, they were students and amateurs. Then TV contracts and coaches salaries soared, schools started raking money and spending money like never before. Now I agree that the SAs deserve a good portion of that money.

And I agree, something has to be done about the no rules free agency

Hubbs made a good point on the radio this morning with Ramon etc...if all the improvements to UT facilities werent already approved before NIL started, they either wouldnt happen or would have been scaled down severely to fan experience improvements. To expand on that, we got super blessed IMO that we already approved and cut the checks for Neyland reno, Baseball park reno etc. Now is not a time to be an SEC school trying to keep up with the Joneses and need a couple hundred million here, 100 million there etc. Our upgrades were timed perfectly.

Milicic and Gainey are questionable for tomorrow's game.

Umm broome or no broome need them ready to go to steal a W down there

I always find it hilarious when posters have meltdowns and predict doom and gloom. It always seems to be the same ones doing it too.

Same as when something goes bad in a game. We haven't seen them for months, but as soon as we throw an int they're posting like they're getting paid overtime to do it.

If they can’t play will we have enough guys to play?

The 2025 crop is dirty. All 3 are ballers IMO.

Staley and Matthews from 24 are ballers...and Jefferson may be also.

2026 is looking sick with King, Evans, Keys?!?

All we have to do is hang onto the guys we recruited. Which we have been VERY good at doing. Excellent retaining talent.

The future is extremely bright at WR in my opinion. Best we've had in 20 years as a unit...just like LB can be.

How big a flock do you want? I had a backyard flock usually between 5-8 since 2018. I taught other friends how to predator proof their coop, make auto feeders and what breeds to look at based on what they wanted. I did a ton of research before I bought them.

Happy to help with any questions you have.

We were just looking to get maybe 3. Just for eggs to be honest. I have no idea what breeds to get. I mean we want chickens with good temperaments and good layers. If we only get 3, do we need a rooster as well? A friend of mine said you always have to have a rooster.

I think Brazzell is gonna have a big bounce back year. People are sleeping on him.

The only thing that worries me with them is drops. It was very odd to see drops from all of them. Seems like a training/coaching issue. Drops and getting separation. I have a bad feeling they aren't being coached up properly.

Great guy
Happy for him

I'm very interested in how well this works out for them. I think their model will change over time but we'll see.
