Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

Yes

Does it work? Like it? They sort of expensive but cheaper than building your own pit.

I never said talent was the problem. My point is it doesn't matter how much talent he has because of his style.

U said no bluebloods wanted our 5 stars, but I do agree a little bit with how hard Barnes works and rides his players during the season, sometimes backfires. But, if u have the right players they will also thrive in that environment. Grant, Admiral, Kyle and Bone proved that.

4 and 5* kids playing down is still better than 3* guys playing at their potential.

Not always.

Exactly, and IMO young players NEED this. We want to rail on the softness of this younger generation (which is real) but we then want to rail on the antedote. Sports needs more men like CRB.

Side note, wonder if Pat Summit was hard on her players?

Well, I finally went to Pal's and I got the Big Pal with cheese and Frenchie fries. Pretty good, big piece of meat (I know, twss) and the fries may be the best fast food fries ever. Of course, I'm stoned and starting drinking at noon, so that may or may not cloud my judgement

Now go try the Bar-B dog and get some cheddar rounds for breakfast. Pals also has really good milkshakes.

This just isn't even remotely fun anymore. At all. Pruitt was the final nail in the coffin. I think most of the fanbase is checked out regarding football, moreso than it's ever been in program history.

Baseball and basketball is entertaining. Still enjoy chatting with you guys

I know you’re getting crucified but I tend to agree with this sentiment and feel the same way

My girl said her milkshake was "amazing"

If he was that automatic then he's not a feather in Barnes cap because again my point remains he isn't beating them out for top guys.

What about Kennedy chandler? They ALL wanted him

 

[drvenner]

I know what you were referencing too I just dont agree with it. It's kind of a perfect storm for Barnes K and Roy gone, Self and others in trouble its more luck then anything. Doesn't really matter though he will still struggle to get past the sweet 16

Yeah. It was only luck that got Kennedy Chandler to come here. That is by far your lamest take on Rick Barnes yet. We get it. You think he's never going to win championships here.

If only her milkshake could bring all of the 5 star boys to the Vols.

Following up.

Awesome!! Congratulations!!

There you go!!

I'm talking about this off season.

Move those goalposts.

Vandy starting 17 year old on the mound.

 

[drvenner]

Pals is solid, but I wouldn't go as far as best fast food fries. Their breakfast is good too.

If I could bring one chain from TN to the Missouri/Arkansas area it would be Cookout. Similar price to Pals, but better.

And Bojangles. Man I miss bojangles.

We have cookout here. Nowhere close to Pal's. Not even in the same universe.

I don’t think anybody’s crucifying him, it’s a legit question to ask why somebody still shows up all the time when they’re not interested. Nothing wrong with asking that

Per Rob Lewis:

Just talked to BJ Edwards coming off his official visit today. Had a great time, feels very comfortable with the coaches and players. Continue to like where Tennessee is here

It will be pure luck if we land him.

 

[volbeast33]

Think about your post and what you are responding to. The person you are replying to is talking about Keon and Jaden not having great offer lists coming out of HS. Yet they are both projected to be top 25 draft picks. Keon brok the combine record for the vertical. What does that show? Barnes ability to develop.

Develop? They were top 20 players in the nation…. Both of them were top 5 at their position.

Vitello has agreed to a deal. Still working out the details according to Hubbs.

There are positives and negatives. They definitely work. They have to get pretty hot to reduce the smoke. They do go through a lot of wood. They are portable. We got the middle size one. It has a bag. It takes a while to cool off so you can't put it right away. It burns the wood very thoroughly but you still have significant ash to dispose of which isn't a big deal. I recommend the base for it to .

I like Pals. We stop there every time we go to see family in Virginia. But the best burger in East Tennessee is at Burger Master in Townsend.

??? We are far and away the leader.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Nothing to do with this post, but why did you want the J capitalized? Is that your name or who you identify as?

a fish?

Twas sarcasm.
