Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[VolGee4]

Gillespie chose home over money..rarely see that in this NIL era.


Nice pickup though, a scoring PG what ever team needs...

I’ve always said there is more than an actual money figure. How much were his parents going to spend to travel to Philly? Or rent a place up there? Or in income taxes? I also believe in taking a cut when you play for coaches that will better prepare you for a chance at the next level.

Ja’Kobi is from Greeneville, TN. After learning that I’m surprised anyone else seriously thought they had a chance beat out Barnes. Get paid, play in front of your literal hometown friends and family with a team coming off an Elite 8 and the winningest active coach in the game? Is this even a choice?

How's the SO?

So apparently a while back Lamar Jackson sued Troy Aikman somehow over trademark rights to the number 8 and now has filed suit against Dale Earnhardt Jr.

It’s a number. How?

And how greedy can you be?

Entitlement has a spokesman.

That is terrible, makes my heart drop. Its hard to fathom that people deny that the Climate is and or has changed. I'm not here to argue this or that in the face of tragedy. No thanks. People have lost their lives, homes, pets.

If we're in a cyclical pattern or things have changed for good. Its time to be forward thinking. Tennessee, all of it, is no longer safe from disasters, biblical floods, winds, tornados, fires.

Shelters, first responders, weather warningn systems. Peace be with all those affected.

I know, right?

A few weeks back you could see 4 planets in the night sky at one time.
Coincidence? I think not.

The locusts. The comet. All of it.

Man made Climate Change is real. These sheep with their heads in the sand…

Doing well. He gave me a scare with another infection but with that cleared up he’s regaining strength. The sepsis left him completely immobile when he first came home (so weak he couldn’t even sit up enough to keep a pillow behind him) but since then he has made remarkable progress. It may not seem like much but he has been able to sit up and stand on his own which even sitting up (with pillows let alone sitting upright) seemed impossible for weeks. He has been using resistance bands to regain strength and doing exercises in bed. I think he’s very close to being able to walk again but he was immobile for so long stamina is an issue, especially with his heart.

They have him on a new med for his liver that has been working well so far. It’s especially good for the encephalopathy. If he had his mobility back this would be a time I’d really be pushing for us to try and go do things because mentally he is himself.

He is def one of us. Found this in an older article on him. Vanderbilt and VT were interested in him as a WR but he always preferred basketball. However…..

Gillespie mentioned if one particular program offered him a football scholarship, perhaps he would have considered trading in his basketball shoes for cleats.

“If the University of Tennessee would’ve offered me I probably would have flipped,” Gillespie said. “But I mainly knew I was playing basketball. I always loved basketball more, but I liked playing football as a receiver. A lot of the schools that were reaching out to me wanted me to play [defensive back], and I didn’t want to play defense in college.”

For Maryland's Ja'Kobi Gillespie, Basketball Was Always The Path - PressBox

Whether it came through basketball or football, Ja'Kobi Gillespie was always primed to make an impact in college, and after two years at Belmont, Gillespie is a big part of a roster overhaul in College Park.

I was more worried about his relationship with Willard.

This is one of life’s mysteries. I spend more time fighting it than benefiting from it. It’s particularly bad whenever I’m using iOS or Android. But we should all be prepared for the next Hegel. He contributed greatly to western thought.

The one time I actually wanted to say “ducking,” it betrayed me.

It's a scientific subject with value, but unfortunately it's been turned into a political topic...which likely explains the sarcastic responses you've got. There is merit to studying the frequency and intensity of tornadoes and hurricanes and determining if climate changes have had any influence. Benefits everyone to know...but some equate it to a movement to take away their trucks and make them have an all soy diet or something.

Now, let's hope we can get more top players who don't necessarily have a direct tie to the area.

All good topics go to hell when politicized. Flying private jets and cutting trails through the amazon all for purpose of climate change summit is the peak of irony. Do as I dictate not as I do. I support all my scientists brethren. I love all my nature lovers as I love it too. For anyone cutting bamboo instead of trees just to build a soap box tho.....
