Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[HoleInTheRoof]

Yes, he’s gone. And the wait has nothing to do with the funeral.

But carry on...

 

[Jackcrevol]

He’s not returning. If funeral is tomorrow I’m sure it’ll be announced Tuesday or Wednesday. Or maybe they wait until after Christmas.

is this all simply you all just hoping?

if unsubstantiated. the man is mourning a family members death. my condolences to Jeremy at this time.

 

[SergeantVol]

Did you just get released from prison . Long time, no see but we're having fun in here. Welcome to the party Sarge. Buckle up and hang on tight for this wild ride

Been training a lot lately. I still lurk most of the time.

 

[UTK]

Think SEC has told all of the teams that get invited that they are going if they have enough bodies.

LSU banned themselves form a bowl though, you'd think we coulda done the same if this NCAA trouble was anything major. I would suspect it's not now

 

[JCP201]

of all the years, the college playoffs should have eight teams. I hope nobody watches that crud.

 

[Govolsman98]

Yes, he’s gone. And the wait has nothing to do with the funeral.

Man where are you hearing this from?

 

[UTSuave’]

Yes, he’s gone. And the wait has nothing to do with the funeral.

 

[Weezer]

Am I the only one who thinks we don’t need a transfer QB? We’ll have bailey, shrout, and salter. That’s a good QB room imo

I think we have other, more pressing needs. A good transfer QB would be nice, but a couple of CBs that can actually cover, an edge rusher, maybe an ILB that can cover a slant, perhaps some safety help...those would be better, IMO. Of course, we also need to see if any of our guys transfer and what holes that may open up. And, oh yeah, we might have to worry about finding these players while dealing with scholarship reductions. So who the hell knows what we're gonna do?

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Couple hours after game pruitt was slated to come back next year. Haven't heard anything new today.

 

[Catbone]

Yeah, but you always choose the negative. You're worse than Catbone.

WOAH calm down

 

[Ron Swanson]

I still think Pruitt is gone, but I just don’t get accepting the bowl bid. Are the violations not bad enough to warrant a postseason ban? Does UT just think it will be a slap on the wrist now?

Have Hubbs, Price or 247 commented on the bowl invite yet?

Hubbs said the SEC is pushing its teams to accept the bowl invites.

 

[Kingston Vol]

But carry on...

All good.

 

[Batman1948]

Hyams mentioned after the game yesterday that the SEC guaranteed bowl officials that SEC teams would accept. He mentioned that if UT backed out, the SEC might withhold bowl revenue

I get that, we need all the revenue we can get this year but consider this for a second. With all the talk about Pruitt being done, is it possible the coaches and players will even care about being in the game?

 

[Weezer]

Tell the SEC to eff off. What have they done for us lately?

Other than TV contract money.

How long did it take you to post this?

Just waiting patiently

 

[Nash_Vol97]

I think it’s been blown out of proportion a bit. It was leaked for UT’s purpose on possibly moving on from JP. I would be shocked if it’s serious enough to warrant giving up a bowl. As LAVol said, this investigation has been going on for weeks. Just became public.

This is the vibe I had as well.

Hyams mentioned after the game yesterday that the SEC guaranteed bowl officials that SEC teams would accept. He mentioned that if UT backed out, the SEC might withhold bowl revenue

interesting. Hadn’t heard that. I guess LSU said screw the money we’re gonna self impose.

 

[MrVolton]

I don’t know anything about him.

I didn’t either until I read up on him. He had a really nice run at Troy. They had never had a 10 win season in program history and he won 10 wins in 3 of his 4 seasons there, including a conference championship and win over LSU.

The results don’t matter, the payout counts the same.

Bc through-out history, this isn’t a huge violation
think about what it has taken for programs to get huge post season bans and scholarship sanctions.
USC - paying players and agents buying homes
Penn state - Sandusky
Ohio state - memorabilia and payment
UNC - university wide cheating/grade scandal
Miami - pay for play over the course 15-20 years
and even those punishments
Were fairly tame compared to what smaller schools get for trying to join the ranks of elite

Exactly. LWS, Bob on 247, Hubbs even talking coaching replacements and big boosters all in town together, Swan man flipped his prediction last night. It just hasn’t been announced yet is all.
