Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[delfonic]

Ok, it’s time for a way too early, bold prediction. Instead if weeding through this morass of decidedly non football talk and moving the irrelevant threads to the off topic forum, Freak just says, ”to hell with it,“ and starts Recruiting Forum Football Talk III.

We are just gonna do the same stuff there. There's no football right now. Furthermore no sports unless you're into Bundesliga. Roll with it.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Dave Debuscher for the win!

You old man!

 

[Kristy*]

Stats be hateful.

And old.

Well, dammit...now I gotta go look up Bundesliga. Probably self evident, but I’m way over 30 and so, scientifically, ancient.

 

[OrangeBlitz]

Ahh...it’s soccer.

The GHSA just posted this about guidance for reopening sports and these are the national guidelines. Football and wrestling are considered high risk because of the contact.

[SpringBokVol]

For me, it's:

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Magic
4. Shaq
5. Labron

 

[Vols410]

So 247 update tomorrow.
Campbell, Wright, and Rucker all better get 4 star bumps

Rivals is the one killing the composite right now. Smith, Rucker, Washington all low 3-stars. Can’t believe none of them got any bumps in the recent rankings.

Just 247 solely

 

[Glitch]

For me, it's:

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Magic
4. Shaq
5. Labron

Solid Top 5. No issues with anyone on that list.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

For me, it's:

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Magic
4. Shaq
5. Labron

Shaq is such an odd one for me...pretty much any one north of 6'9" I'm cautious to put in a top list cause you know the size advantage matters.

 

[franklinpence]

For me, it's:

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Magic
4. Shaq
5. Labron

1. MJ
2. Bill Russell
3. Magic
4. Lebron
5. Shaq
6a. Kobe
6b. Oscar Robertson

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Shew. I made it to the end! When I saw how many pages I was behind I thought for sure we had gotten a new commit. HA!

[butchna]

Was he a gentle but passionate lover? I'm sorry it didn't work out with your "old" man.

Genius! Not scientific, of course...but genius nonetheless! Guess that’s all that’s needed to be known.

 

[Catbone]

Ehhh.. look at our roster and particularly our QB. I kinda disagree with this take. We are close but I don't expect to win any of those big games with JG. Dude is tough as nails but not a winner.

2021 is our year to come come back. Soft schedule, better QB, more depth.

 

[butchna]

Let's get Butchna in there too. I'll make sure it is a warm day, so your joints are at full strength.

Chattanooga native. Visited folks two years ago and didn’t recognize the place. Lots of nouveau rich and boisterous academic types spouting off about knowledge and facts and sperm cell counts. Nobody you know, I’d wager.

 

[jakez4ut]

no disagreement here. we need a 2015 type season where we don't lose every stinking one of those big games, and to a mediocre Ark team at home. (beat UGA that year was big too....just can't look back at OU, UF, and Bama...and ARK...and think what might have been).

and you sure can't start your season like we did in 2016, and finish it the way we did.

so yeah, i agree with everything he said.....

just need some confidence in the QB position and we're gonna be fine....yep, just fine.

I think Wilt & Bird are also top 5 worthy. Would be interesting to see how much Oscar's numbers would have changed with a 3 pt line.

 

[KPT_VFL]

1. MJ
2. Bill Russell
3. Magic
4. Lebron
5. Shaq
6a. Kobe
6b. Oscar Robertson

Bill Russell is great for basketball history but the dude was being guarded by 5”10 Centers I don’t think he’d be anything special in MJs era or today.

Accounting for era can quickly become a slippery slope.

I saw someone say that Wilt's achievements are so legendary that it actually hurts him in the all-time rankings. Because how could a guy be so dominant unless he was playing against ditch diggers? But in reality Wilt may be the best athlete in the history of organized sports. There are endless stories and anecdotes of him just being laughably dominant. He wasn't just tall. He was freakishly athletic and strong on top of it.

 

[Vols4us]

For me, it's:

1. MJ
2. Kobe
3. Magic
4. Shaq
5. Labron

I'm good with the first four. I've also got Duncan, Olajuwon, Oscar R, and Jabbar ahead of James. If I spent some time on it I may come up with a few more.

Except Russell and Wilt shared their primes and Russell completely dominated Wilt for a decade plus.
