Fun fact, that uncle y’all think is made up looked just like Keith Hernandez lol

We do and will lose some to the draft….. I love Tony’s recruiting approach…. We over recruit and let the best guys make the team…. No one is guaranteed a spot from year to year….. it also drives Bruin crazy so that is also a plus.

Duuuude

If you say his name 2 more times

A guy decides to crash a wedding reception. He walks up to the bartender and says, “Is this the punchline?”

 

[Devo182]

No reason they can't move forward simultaneously. They're both phased projects. Neyland has some deferred maintenance and structural issues that need to be addressed, but that won't impact continuing with other facility renos. UT has a master plan. The baseball and softball facilities were always going to be updated, but plans for LNS are being upgraded beyond the original budget/plan.

Sorta random, but just curious if there are any future plans for TBA.

Maybe they could they just build a fake exterior to hide the hideous outside? Looks like a 1950s Soviet building.

I hated those dudes, LOL, except for Mookie Wilson. Freaking Keith Hernandez and Gary Carter can suck it.

VFL

 

[TrippieRedd]

QB - Tayven Jackson
RB - Dylan Sampson
WR - Cameron Miller, Isaiah Horton, Kaydin Pope, and one more.
TE - Brody Foley
OL - Brian Grant, Addison Nichols, Maurice Clipper, Masai Reddick

DL - Venson Sneed, Quentel Jones, Bishop Thomas, Gio Davis, Elijah Zollicoffer
LB - Jared Badie, Kalib Perry, Elijah Herring
DB - Andre Stewart, Jeremiah Caldwell
Safety - Jordan Allen

This will be way off.

Add another OL, LB, and Safety/DB and it's a good class. With those 21 recruits, that would put us at 214.56, which would be good for 24th last year. and 29th in 2020.

I added the last 3 spots with random recruits we were "warm" for to get an idea how this class could close (Added Kutas, Joshua Josephs, and Tommy Winton). With the addition of those 3 it would put us at a final of 219.52, which would be good for 20th last year and 29th in 2020.

Structural issues at Neyland? We don’t need the stadium deemed “unsafe” before the season and be closed like the Mississippi River bridge in Memphis!

like ive said, which means jack ****, its easier for him to win here. East is wide open. Great fan support, lower cost of living, no corn dogs, and an AD that is all in. Plus he about tah git paid. Very little pressure to win.

Only thing he needs. Listen up, this is crucial. Catbone, never, ever turn on a TN baseball game.

I was told by a MLB scout that Vitello would build a AA type talented roster at LSU. However, he said that he wants Vitello to be at a place like UT because it's great for the college game with our fan base. He said Vandy does nothing for the game because their following stinks. Bottom line is Vitello is known for being an unbelievable recruiter.

They pausing rescue efforts on the collapsed building in Surfside due to a thunderstorm? That just seems wrong unless you know there isn’t a chance of pulling someone else out of there.

Saftey of the first responders are important too. The structural integrity of the other buildings is in question. Dont want a bunch of rescuers to have them building fall on them to from weather. They said this morning that there was high wind when it collapsed. Just taking every precaution. Not to mention lightening and standing on all that rebar and other metal.

He has long been and will continue to be a credit to our program. Absolutely agree that he is a VFL.

He does a great job.

Do you think how the season goes affects this group in any way? Is this a 6 win class? A 4 win class? An 8 win class?

I honestly feel like whoever commits will be bought in to Heupel. Only time will tell.

If it’s from the Baylor guy that was a few days ago with a confidence level of 3

Catbone just needs to sit in the corner, fiddle with his zollicoffer, and then read the game comments 2-3 hours after the game is over. We will never lose again!

Don’t want any references about Catbone fiddling with his zollicoffer. Interesting name for his

Not that far from basketball. I mean...you can go the UK/Duke route and all...but the Nova, Baylor, Zaga squads have been going the furthest recently.

I actually like the bball strategy of getting a bulk of top 30-100 players and developing them. Sprinkle in the occasional lottery freshman for immediate impact. The "UK Way" just feels broken at this point.

That's true. A senior squad of 4*s are often better than a freshman squad of 5*s
