Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I was walking in the bedroom and tripped on my wife's bra.......it was a bobby trap.

Going to be a mess to execute. Going to have boosters piling in millions to bring kids to campus under the guise of allowing them to make money off their likeness. I'm all for it, but only big schools with big money are going to get good players now.

I’m still confused as to how this will work. Can they sell autographs? Literally, big boosters could just pay big money and say it was for the autograph.

Umm, that’s not the age of an old warhorse.

I turn 59 this year. I am not an old warhorse yet. Maybe when I am 60....naww, 70 is old warhorse age.

I am going to get a season pass for skiing this year. My goal is to get on the slopes 3-4 trips at least.

Who’s with me? Geezers unite!

Doc, age is just a number. I will be 73 in about 2 weeks and I'm as active now as I've ever been. I play over 200 rounds of golf every year and still play to a single digit handicap. I've never done drugs, never smoked a cigarette and never had a cup of coffee---can't stand the smell of it . Life is good

It has some sway. Maybe he knows more. You think VQ reports of their 10 minutes watching routes against air has that much sway?

Ace certainly has coaching connections. Not doubting that at all.

Bailey was running with the 3's in a majority of Spring reps and I believe he was the with the 3rd team offense to start the O&W game.

He had a good showing - we all saw it - but there's a reason why Heupel was so desperate to get Milton in the fold.

If I had to bet today, I'd say Milton will be the starter for Bowling Green. Hooker, Maurer and Bailey in an interchangeable pool behind him that could change by the day.

From an article on how it may be handled. First, boosters and their businesses can fully participate in the NiL model.

"To prevent shenanigans, the NCAA would set fair market value for various sponsorship arrangements, and athletes would be required to disclose (to their school) the full extent of their contracts.

(Additional resources for compliance departments will be essential.)"

No way Bailey starts. The coaches want to ride with their own guy.

It’s going to be Milton.

 

[Batman1948]

We better be doing the same...

Some of these Universities are painting the NCAA into a corner and they may not like the outcome from their actions. They're still members of the NCAA whether they like it or not.

That would be dumb

 

[engineerVOL]

That would be dumb

I wouldn’t be surprised. They may want to showcase every complexion of their offense to recruits. Can they do they with Bailey? I don’t know.

 

[lilesrt]

That would be dumb

Dumb would be not giving the starting job to the best player. I’m not sure we know who that is just yet.

 

[Batman1948]

If HT is waiting does that mean it would have an effect on Payton who transferred from Mississippi State?

Is he a grad transfer?

Disagree. I think Bailey earns it. Milton as back up. But they could certainly change in and out throughout the year if one does not perform well.

Not sure why people keep putting stock in which QB was running 1st, 2nd or 3rd team in the spring.

Seems obvious to me that the coaches told all 3 QBs they would get equal reps and rotate with 1st team through the spring. Then evaluate all 3 after spring. Every practice report had a new QB running with the 1's. The spring game confirmed the rotation.

This is how the new coaching staff should have approached the QB battle. Makes perfect sense to me.

Henry T is getting the worst advice. He should have just come back for one more year and then gone to the NFL. Now he is risking it all to transfer to Universities who are pretty loaded with talent and I doubt he will leave a new school after one year. So he is risking another year that he could get injured or not show out.

 

[RikidyBones]

That's my point. A disqualification because he's not "our guy" is dumb. Fall practice, iron it out. QB that come out on top should be it no matter the number or name.

At a minimum he should’ve just gone through spring here

At what point does UT tell him to pound sand?

Why would he not leave after one year at a new school?

Hopefully yesterday

Truth.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I wouldn’t expect his coach to trash talk him.

He’s being 100% honest and I will hear no arguments to the contrary

 

[Ten_Titans]

He's gone. What is left for UT to tell him?

UT fired Pruitt after the add/drop date and after all scholarship athletes' tuition was paid for in full.

The fact that it bothers so many of you that Henry finished out his Spring semester as if it was his idea to fire Pruitt so late in the semester is hilarious.

The dirt bag move would have been to get a few free workouts and practices and then enter the portal in May. Oddly enough I think y'all wouldn't be nearly as on his ass if he went that way.

Yes, and which ones were 1st, 2nd, and 3rd could have simply been by class with older going first the way it used to be done until someone separated themselves.
