Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volatil]

You’ll have to give it up at some point right? Might as well eat that frog now considering those bowl payouts will likely increase in the future.

Also where does that money go when it’s forfeited? Stays in Birmingham or get redistributed to the rest of the schools?

So we are supposed to get a share even though we didn’t play because of “Covid”. My guess is it increases shares for schools who actually played.

Another thing on the NCAA. Jimbo Hyams said that the NCAA has cut staff so much and their backlog is so great that they may be satisfied with UT's investigation and may just accept their results. Said if they self imposed a reasonable penalty they may just rubber stamp it.

Consider the source. Knowing him he’s probably referring to the Pearl investigation.

I hope the sickening trend of hiring people simply Bc they played here or love the program ends with him.

If they are a good honest coach that's good at his job then hire him, but if he is not help him find something that will suit his talents

 

[Orange Studs]

I can’t wait to see how he uses Jaylen Wright. He has legit world class speed

We already saw Hyatt burn an Bama DB as a freshman

Right. Everyone gets it even if you didn’t play in a bowl unless it was for violations.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

So you would take lambier 1 on 1 vs lebron......?

No. Not 1 on 1. Lebron would school him badly.

 

[butchna]

Stoops said “not surprised”. It was known and a matter of time before we got caught.

Guess we should have been nice and all clean like him with Justin Rogers and Oxendine? And there’s a reason he was all butthurt over Tyler Baron.

And how is this a problem?

 

[Vols4us]

Exactly. If everybody knows, it eventually gets to the NCAA. Somebody gets mad or drunk and blows it wide open.

 

[Sleegro]

What are they?

SpaceX next rocket the starship. Those are about 14 stories tall and will eventually sit on a much larger booster. Will be the largest rocket ever made and fully reusable. Just refuel and launch. Larger pressurized cabin for people to ride than a 747.

 

[KB5252]

Lebron would have to toughen up though, they were head hunters back then, especially teams like the Pistons and Celtics. Game was different, much more physical.

Conditioning and athleticism is much more advanced these days but that's true for every sport played.

100% agree. Sankey adds it to the kitty to bribe officials.

 

[De La Cloobs]

Diabolical

Danny White cleaning rats outta the top office, Fulmer no longer meddling, young boosters replacing the entitled boosters of old, players that don’t want to be here are leaving, and bad coaches getting the boot.

The culture and change we wanted and needed with Pruitt is happening now that he’s gone. Also good to see the remaining players buying in. Looks like the rebuild is actually starting to happen. Had to occur from the top down and should have started years ago.

That's the beauty of summary dispositions. Just have to make sure Donde doesn't have control and overdo it.

 

[BruinVol]

Covid has been a blessing in a strange way as it is allowing some seniors to come back.

I might be wrong but I don’t think they will count against the 85 so with that said next year is the perfect year to start the scholarship reductions. Go ahead and carry 80 and self impose 5. Then allow the seniors to lessen the blow and we should be close to the normal 85

 

[BloodShovel]

Lebron would flop just from a Bill Lambier glance. An elbow would make him retire.

Not a big basketball fan but today's defenses are laughable compared to Bill's era.

 

[butchna]

It's Tennessee, do you really see that happening?

Yes. Lot of fallout from the USC sanctions that resulted in lenient handling of Miami and Oregon. And McNair’s mega lawsuit hasn’t seen the courtroom yet...might not be itchin for another project.

 

[backdoorcutvol]

Lol. Lebron hasn’t faced real physical defenders. He plays in an era where if you sneeze on a player it’s a foul. Give it up Hank. LeBron is an all time great. But he isn’t and never will be in MJs league.

Or Birds, Magic, Kobe.

 

[VolMike16]

Of the VFLs that have coached at UT I've really only liked Fair tbh. When he left after his GA stint the DBs were awful and felt he didn't get a fair shake with Pruitt. Tee has been awful and I'm not a huge fan of Graham.

 

[backdoorcutvol]

Lebron has two weight classes on Laimbeer. Laimbeer was always a bigger threat for smaller guys instead of those big enough to retaliate.

How could Lebrun retaliate standing back there at the 3 point line.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I seen LA comment about this isn’t what Steele envisioned. What did he envision? Being the Hc? Being DC for a different candidate? What happened to wanting to see your university through this? All changes when you realize you can take 900k for two weeks of work lol. Can’t believe we don’t have some kind of out in thst contract somewhere.

It’s really phenomenal that they signed off on this knowing what was coming
SMH

 

[all_volz]

Seems like our new AD is working the PR game.

So this seems to contradict the narrative that Steele did not know or understand what he was getting into when he was hired, which story is true and which is a lie

 

[Ashevolle]

It's Tennessee, do you really see that happening?

Yes. The NCAA isn't going to hammer UT for fear that no school will ever self-report again.

The scholarship reductions are generally a certain number per year for a set number of years. So it affects initial counters rather than total scholarship.
