Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[volatil]

That’s bewildering. I’m honestly not sure how to evaluate it, other than to remind myself Heupel needs lots of patience.

One thing we as Tennessee fans are proficient at is having patience

 

[SweetasSoda]

That’s the board narrative which ignores how it could have been done better mitigating the unnecessarily negative way recruits, coaches and development organizations view UT.

She had to do something extreme and swiftly because PF had a lot of support in the AD and with boosters that would have literally laid down the program for loyalty to him. Guessing there was no one doubting this. It's easy to sit back and say someone should not have done what they did because here's the negative consequences of that. Sometimes there is just not a good choice. Things behind the scenes were a disaster waiting on an explosion because the ones against PF and JP were willing to destroy the program to get them out. She effectively went public before they could and took control away from all of them. Yes, we are going to have to deal with the consequences.

if you're a regular visitor here to this board you are either:

A) a troll

OR

B) blessed with an abundance of patience, kinda

While I do believe PF loves the university, I do believe we are in better hands with our new AD and coach. Hoping the purge will allow all the parties involved to start pulling in the same direction for a change, and fans can be patient with the process. UT football has been the brunt of jokes for way too long, and I’m ready to see signs of competence at all levels.

we gotta consider a new phrase here

I've had it with patience and will now be resorting to controlled violence when "patience" is mentioned

Agree with a lot of that. And if she had managed the process and moved at least two weeks sooner, it would have really helped with roster, recruiting and hires.

You had me up until the cock reveal...

[Big Gucci Sosa]

so many commitments today.

 

[drvenner]

In the last 40 seconds...after eating 72 dogs and buns...he put down another 4 more just to break his own record. That's a bun + dog...fully swallowed...every 10 seconds...WITH 72 ALREADY INSIDE HIM

That whole dunking them in water thing is enough to make me hurl.

 

[drvenner]

I’m always at Sequoia. I like Stardust as well. If you smell pot it’s prolly me.

I work in Clinton. Are these places on the Norris side?

 

[TrippieRedd]

I really hope we didn’t promise Turnage a starting spot, that would be terrible for team chemistry.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

I really hope we didn’t promise Turnage a starting spot, that would be terrible for team chemistry.

I dont think we did.

 

[TrippieRedd]

I dont think we did.

I know that was random af but I was just thinking about it.

“We didn’t promise him a starting spot, wink wink”

 

[butchna]

Just read it. Honestly, it’s kind of a bad look for everyone involved. Bet the Mendehlson guy loses some money over this. And bet espn employees are more careful about what they’re saying when they have company equipment laying around.

It just proves that not even THEY believe all the crap they’re slinging.

He will probably play a lot regardless. At this point, any good CB will play.

 

[butchna]

If she jumped before she KNEW anything, she would truly be in the wrong…instead of the contrived version.

 

[So.ProVOL]

Btw all you bigots celebrating this racist country is disgusting. I am literally shaking rn

I'm gunna celebrate! This country was built on gunpowder. I'm just doing my part! Keep your political BS to yourself & stay off my doorstep. No problem here big dog!

 

[So.ProVOL]

Anybody else on here feeling pretty good & heading to the next party? Happy 4th everyone!

 

[beneVOLence]

Saw this over on 247 and now on the FF.

Great summary of all the roster moves this year. So much to keep up with, of all the years this year we definitely need a summary. It's been a clusterwhirlwind

Tracking all of Tennessee's offseason roster movement

Is there a rule if you enter the transfer portal and don’t get picked up by another team is your eligibility with your current team over with? I assume most coaches wouldn’t want to back players back if they had a choice, but in certain circumstances I could see where you might take a few back for depth concerns at a position group. Mt assumption is they can return to the team if the coaching wanted them back, but I don’t know all the rules.

 

[volbeast33]

No, i encourage it… but when you cheat and get caught while going 3-7

Not sure if he got caught as much as people didn’t like him and turned him in.

 

[T2P_Priceless]

I’ve thought a lot about DWs hire of CJH from the perspective of a hiring manager. When hiring someone the main two factors I consider is performance and trust. Trust is a very close second to me, but in DWs case it may be first considering the NCAA situation, admin situation, boosters, etc. I expect that the two of them will be hip to hip the next 2-3 years navigating through these land mines, but the hire gives me encouragement when you think of it this way.

It was also important he hire an offensive coach and someone that will create a more fun culture to change the vibes. He did that too

Doesn't look like it would be hard to EARN the spot, but someone will say he was promised it I'm sure.
