Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

I’ll await confirmation from a non-cuck. F simonton

We basically had guys hired within the hour. No comparison.

Now don't start trying to reason with somebody trying to push an agenda... you'll make his fan base upset.

Shaka Smart has been attending all the Cuonzo Martin offense seminars.

Meant to post earlier when sleegro was talking about what makes him so great.
I mean, Bo Davis just spent 2 freaking years as a truck driver.

You'd think the "sexiest" hire in the country could have snagged an earlier NFL look during his show cause.

Essentially said Vols fans eating crow for laughing at the staff turnover for the rest of the league (namely Cocks). Gatadawg buffonery

Someone will say "he's not wrong" so this is preemptive. It's not like he says these things provoked, asked or brought up in conversation.
He just goes out of his way.

Usually not a technique applied to dealing with your customers.

Glad he’s gone

Had one rival SEC coach reach out to me 5 months ago and say, “Rocker is killing them with the instate Dlinemen. They don’t like him” I think that was a bit overblown but he clearly wasn’t engaged in recruiting.

For real. Haha. I never understood why everyone was bringing him up for months now.

Agree.

We’ve got the development culture in place. Get the guys that live on the road and know how to text high schoolers.

It sounds creepy when I type that out...

I'd say he's good of course..but yeah, the Bama/Ga etc., thing..

Could a savvy phone person answer this question:

Ex wife sent the kids a phone in the mail. An old(ish) IPhone that used to be used by her.

I’ve come to discover that my ex wife has full access to this phone, can see all text conversations, see downloaded apps (and delete them), and as unbelievable as this sounds - she can, from 7 hours away, send text messages from my kids phone.

I never would’ve thought that possible. But here’s how I know - my kids went technology free at 8pm and left the phone with me. At 844, a text was sent from my kids phone to a family member who my ex can’t reach directly on account of being blocked by them. And she used a nickname for that person that only she used so it had to have been her.

My question is - how is this possible? And can it be prevented by changing a setting on the phone itself? Service provider is Verizon if that matters. And her boyfriend works for Verizon, not coincidentally.

Yes

Gotta be Hardy related, right?

Could not have helped. Also the 2021recruit who commented that his position coach hasn't reached out to him.

I’m sure there’s a way around it, but I recommend adding one line to your account and putting their phone on it. She’s clearly not providing it for your kids’ benefit.

Is it an iPhone? If so, its probably an easy fix. She's probably got her account on the phone, which would allow her to iMessage from her iPad, iPhone, MacBook, etc. Disconnect her account and connect yours (or make a new one for your kids) and you should be good. A total reset would be a good idea too.

Rolls eyes...when the talent pool consist of him and Rucker those jobs must pay 25K a year.

So, spoofing a phone number is as easy as filling out a form and clicking a button these days. It’s unfortunately almost impossible to stop that. (Same goes for email)

In this case though, it sounds like there might be some crazy spyware type thing involved. There are some anti spyware apps on the Apple/android App Store. I haven’t had experience with them to recommend one though.

Edit: Factory reset would be the best play here if she doesn’t have access. However, as mentioned, this may do nothing to stop texts.

Edit2: just read where others mentioned the possibility of parental controls or a shared Apple ID. This is more likely, but I’m drunk and paranoid and wanted to sound like I know something on the internet.
Good luck!

Wish this guy would find another job.

Vols are stuck with the biggest losers in sports media. What other sports writers consistently dump on their own teams??

Get them a new phone and get rid of that one. Maybe a restraining order, too. Teach the kids how to put 7 aspertames in her coffee. Just spit-balling here.

Probably the only thing that's happening is that her AppleID is still being used on the phone, or at least an ID that is under her family plan. Easy fix: sign in under a new AppleID that you create yourself. Easy to do, go to Settings and you can figure it out. It means you'll have to download some apps again, and pay for the ones that were already paid for by her, but small price there.

Actually, just go to Settings anyway and see what AppleID is being used. Chances are it's an email address you're familiar with. Then you'll know for sure that's what she's doing. Resist the temptation to guess her password and access her data. That road only leads to trouble, not worth it. Just sign in anew.

And sure, if she's technically savvy, she could have put some spyware on there but really, it's probably just that she discovered after she gave them the phone that she was still getting their texts on her iPad, Mac or whatever, so she's taking advantage of it. So just change the AppleID. If she doesn't know the ID or the password there's nothing she can do. Solved, thanks for the free phone. You'll know if it did the trick because she's bound to say something about it.

Can’t say how often I’ve thought I should make it a rule to give a Like to every post that’s just a period or a “nm” where someone has rethought a post or otherwise felt obliged to delete it... mostly just because it seems like a funny thing to do. But then I never actually do it because I realize that if someone Liked a period post of mine, I would feel obliged to edit my post yet again to say something really weird just so people would wonder why that person gave it a Like. ‘Cause that’s funny too.

I’ve been out of pocket for a few weeks and am just now catching up on all the coaching changes. Wow! This is big. So far I give Pruitt an A+ because I think he’s getting the right guys into the right spots. A lot of times when you have old pros, so to speak, it can be tough to get those guys to do things “your way”, whether it’s on-the-field issues, personnel management, or in recruiting. Sometimes it can seem like things are just a bit out of sync. My early assessment is that the guys Pruitt is bringing in on defense will be more of a seamless extension of himself. I think we’ll be better at knowing what to do, how to do it, when to do it, and I also think we’ll be even better at recruiting on both sides of the ball. We’ve been trying to reunite Graham with Chaney since the end of the 2018 season. Mission accomplished. jmo.

The big thing about all these staff changes is that we probably aren’t changing anything schematically this year on either side of the ball. We are, however, still getting bigger, faster, stronger, more talented, and better. Last season, by most accounts we should have been 9-3 as a minimum but we incredulously stumbled right out of the gate. We fixed that and finished strong both on the field and in recruiting. I think with these coaching changes so far we will be able to better streamline the vision Pruitt has for our team, get everybody (staff) enthusiastically on the same page so that we minimize any indecision, hesitation, and confusion that sometimes infects our players if there’s even the slightest gap in what they’re hearing from their position coach, the coordinator, and the head coach. jmo.

Removing the possibility of even the slightest friction between the moving parts on our staff should allow our players to play a lot faster and with more confidence because they’ll be more connected to the coordinators and the head coach. That along with, as noted earlier, the likelihood of even better recruiting should pay huge dividends for us this year and going forward. jmo.

I’d like to salute the staff members who are moving on and express my genuine appreciation for their contribution to rebuilding our football team. We desperately needed their teaching experience for the roster that they inherited. Pruitt wasn’t going to be able to do everything in every position group by himself. Those departing staff members have provided for us a foundation of knowledge on our roster that was missing when they first arrived on campus. We are a better team for they having passed our way. jmo.
