Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[MoCo_Vol]

If...my theory is correct.

I'd expect you'll see Kasim Hill & Braden Collins both get summer scholarships as "walk-ons" since they'll have completed their academic year after Spring semester.

Listened to the Nigel Warrior interview. One of the reporters was a douche and kept asking about the past, and Nigel shut him down. Good for him. Could be a few guesses to who it was, Knoxville "media' is a joke.

Two different "reporters" did that to Pruitt in the Monday press conference this week exactly about Warrior. CJP felt compelled to say at one point, "I didn't say that. You said it. Don't put words in my mouth."* Then he ended the press conference rather quickly thereafter. So they've hatched this over the course of several days. I guess it's the best way they can up with right now to hurt the team, since Warrior is getting better every week.
* Approximate but very close; from memory.

The phrase they kept using and tried to imply that Pruitt used, which he did not, was "the light finally came on for Warrior," which is a backhanded compliment. Did they work it into the interview? Curious.

You don’t get initial counter spots (25) back when a player transfers out like Murphy, jones, gray or Reid.

That’s not how it works

2019 we had 22 out of 25, McBride medically retired BEFORE the season. That leaves 4 initials to the 2019 class.

Which has nothing to do with the guys who transfered out, they'd only be "counters" towards the 85.

I am loving these!

Wow, Bruin has been beating or doing something obscene to that dead horse for 4 hours minimum.

You have to look at the year before 2018 to see why we were at 22. That’s all
Connected


But who transferred out is irrelevant. Mcbride does get one back though

And Bruin isn't even the worst poster we've had when it comes to arguing for days about NCAA scholarship limits and how many players we can take in a certain class.

The freshmen for the lady Vols are going to be a very good core for the next couple of years. Horston is a player.

Do we have to pick just one?

Honestly I am just trying to understand what numbers we are working with or at least come close to knowing anyway

 

[Pane di mais]

I think, employing a charitable reading, we have to interpret that sentence as meaning: "among the panoply of douches, one in particular expressed his douchebaggery by taking Nigel as his target." So you are both correct.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Someone with a long recruiting period and a redshirt senior year I'm guessing. Dillon Bates might fit that profile. Thread started in mid-2012 and played here until late 2018.

No...it was a DL I think..sometime between 2006-2012ish.

 

[Devo182]

Bama at 5? Boo the committee! Boo hiss

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don’t think the 3 guys count toward the 25. I want to know what rule we are using
To pull it off. I love trying to know ncaa rules and want to know. The rule you guys posted isn’t it.


My guess from the start is all 3 guys won’t be on scholarship next fall and thus won’t be considered an initial counter. Just a guess

But in the fall won't they be past the one year residency requirement allowing them to stay on scholarship and not count toward the 25 but only the 85?

 

[bullet20]

So most walk ons wouldn’t be excited about receiving approximately 20k in an one time gift??


Now let’s see who’s delusional and clueless.

I have nothing of importance to add to this discussion just wanted to say I was involved in this great debate. I think.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Honestly I am just trying to understand what numbers we are working with or at least come close to knowing anyway

85 counters
25 initial counters for 2020

2016- 23
2017- 27
2018- 22
2019- 22

We aren’t still counting any of Botch’s recruits. Not with being under 25 the last 2 classes & with the medical retirements and transfers.

Yes.

It’s a confusing deal. My guess certainly could be wrong that they are on $ for just one semester

Did you count the qb and RB transfers in 2018?

 

[bignewt]

If you don't know what any of it means, then why....never mind.

I'm here for work.

 

[jakez4ut]

OMG...we're gonna sign 25 this cycle!! wtf cares about the rest lol............good grief.

 

[BruinVol]

I’m thinking maybe more. Solomon and Mcbride could give us more than 25

i'm sure if they can, they will. until then........................

 

[BruinVol]

i'm sure if they can, they will. until then........................

Until then we talk about who else we are getting. Spots are very relevant to that talk

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

You should be the only person with that opinion. He’s the most complete QB prospect this decade. You saw what bama looked like against us with him.....:a lot like us.

The greatest ability is availability...and this kid has zilch of that.
