Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[SweetasSoda]

Maybe.. All I know is I hear it in his voice. He’s happy and honored to be here, and he wants to be successful.

The others were excited to have a job at a big university. He seems to be excited to have a job at Tennessee.

Does Pepperdine play in a high school gym?

I thought the same thing.

 

[InVOLuntary]

What did Vitale say about will Wade?

 

[BruinVol]

Siap

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

I thought it was after the rolled ankle that he didn’t return?

No after he banged knees on a baseline drive.

What did Vitale say about will Wade?

“Oh my baby! Will Wade’s face should be punched repeatedly. I’m going to need him to work on that baby!”

 

[mr.checkerboards]

What did Vitale say about will Wade?

Was talking about the FBI Bball investigation. Said some coaches were on tape but still coaching on the sidelines anyways.

 

[Devo182]

I may get roasted for this (and don’t get me wrong this team is very good), but the 2017 Vols beats this team by double digits.

This team may go farther and be more “successful”, but 2017 beats them.

You're comparing what was a very veteran team to a team anchored by 3 underclassmen 5*s after a shortened offseason.

I loved that team and think it was great. This team can be that too, but won't reach it until March. Patience.

What did Vitale say about will Wade?

He said they had coaches dead to rights with the recorded conversations and the NCAA needed to get on with handing out some punishment.

 

[SoilVol]

What did Vitale say about will Wade?

Second Vols game in a row he has gone off about how the NCAA is dragging their feet through the mud on a program that has been caught on tape talking about paying players and those players are still playing and the coach is still coaching, meanwhile programs like Tennessee Football (his intro to the discussion against Florida) and Kansas basketball (today's intro) are dealing with more recent issues.

Last time he said the NCAA better not do anything to Tennessee because of how they handled it internally should be sufficient. Today he talked about how Kansas has denied any wrongdoing from the beginning and their 5 Level 1 violations are based on assumptions without proof. Then contrasted to LSU.

 

[Batman1948]

The biggest takeaway is that we can play offense. Just need to do it more consistently..

Agree, somewhat, on your ku take, but I'm gonna say that's because we took the fight out of them.

It looks like Pons was letting the new guys have their shot to shine in the first 8 or so games and then Barnes told him to get his sh^t together and take charge like last year. We should be fine as long as Pons and Fulk keep stepping up.

 

[Devo182]

Because good defenses make it harder to score for anybody, especially when you have team talent ranked in the 40s playing teams with 4* and 5* defenders stacked up like cord wood..plus it is not like they had great talent to start with. I think JH squeezed every drop of production he possibly could out of that group of players.

He made Drew Lock look a lot better than he was.

Yup. Consider how many NFL skill players or even OL were on that team...yup zero. He took a good QB, nothing else, and put up the #1 offense in the SEC.

 

[UTJoe]

What did Vitale say about will Wade?

He didn't name names, but was talking about the trouble Kansas is in and referenced having coaches, on tape, talking about paying players. It was all in the context of recruiting today.

 

[BruinVol]

No after he banged knees on a baseline drive.

Off the left side?

Maybe we are talking about the same time. His ankle rolled then as well

Either way it sounds like he’s fine. Good news

 

[volatil]

These accusations against Kansas were from Zion Williamson recruitment to Kansas. He will be in HOF before they rule.

 

[Paper_Towel]

I am by no means a BBall fan, but if I ever moved out to East TN I would damn sure go to as many BBall games I could.

Truth be told it’s way more fun to be in a packed TBA than Neyland imo. Probably cause it’s protected from weather & traffic isn’t completely ridiculous lol

 

[Catbone]

Good good

I’m not sure about that. I was at Neyland last time we beat Florida. When Jennings caught that TD over Tabor grown men were hugging each other. It was so loud.

I live in a rural community and I think our gym is bigger than this.

At this point that’s all he has to say. It should be easy now that all the groundwork has been done.

But how did it start?
