Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

All kinds of uprightness up in here this evening.

Emerson just ain't any good................

I chose the optimistic route at the time but I remember former North Side folks that had coached during his first few yrs there were shocked when he was ranked so high. Looked better than his actual play and drive

What do you mean by this????????

Now there's something you won't hear your wife say....

Pirates with random pick number one over all

Rangers take Leiter 2

 

[bignewt]

Are you buying it? Do you think it would be a good investment to make and keep the shares long-term?

I've had it and yes I think it's a great long term hold. It will probably jump early tomorrow so I would watch it at the bell and see if you want to make a move. Some peeps are saying $100 a share soon.

Pirates picked a stud but I didn’t expect him at 1. A good hitting Catcher is a rarity though

I agree but zero mock drafts had him going one.

No, most had the kid from California

My son just got upset when I told him Cheese would be getting drafted.

Good for Vols that HS shortstops falling further than expected. Still a long shot, but maybe House dropping a little might push him to Knoxville.

Lol same. My wife is English and as we sat there and I just went "that's dumb.. They better not touch the ball until the 8th or 9th shot"

When they both missed, this was me:

If that’s really you…you had better NIL sponsor every Volunteer athlete. Even the club teams. Would just be pocket change for you…
Get on it.

Szechuan Garden on Chapman Highway in South Knoxville. Best hot and sour soup on the planet.

Went there when I lived at Gateway Apts while a student. Can vouch.

English soccer fandom is the closest thing in terms of fanaticism to SEC football fandom without the murder of South American soccer fandom.

 

[UTMVol76]

Jordan Lawler is a SS who just got drafted at #6 and is a Vandy commit. From the sounds of it I’d say he’s going to Candy.

We really need Brady House to go to Knoxville!

Thanks for the advice. I’m thinking seriously about buying 100 shares to keep long term and see what happens. It’s at $49 per right now, so $5k investment or so might be worth the risk of this turns out huge.

Just downloaded the Revamped NCAA and I don’t know whether to laugh or throw my ps3 through a wall

Dang that look nice though.

My baby's anniversary. Are they not beautiful?

It's way beyond anything seen here imo. It's hard to even relate to. Some European club fans are halfway gangs. They'll literally coordinate attacks/fights against opposing club fans. True fanaticism.

Personally? No thanks. It's a freakin sport...

 

[Devo182]

Told my wife when they got subbed on that they were put in there specifically for PK, but that I hoped they wouldn’t take any because they would be ice cold. Sure enough…

The first miss was so bad. Had the goalie...couldn't tap it in wide open.

Painful...

Yes, it goes beyond what we see here because there are towns/areas of London/Liverpool/Manchester that live and die with their teams success and have for 100 years.

And being in the EPL impacts the local economy of their areas…talk about pressure.

Too much dancing + cold off the bench does that. No feel for the ball or turf. If you come in cold, pysche the goalie out by kicking it straight down the fkin middle after eying a corner.

House just off the board at #11.

Edit: rangers.

Double edit: Nationals.

Lower he drops the lower the slot money reserved. Getting drafted in the first isn’t a given signee. And McKee said on VQ that this kid considered graduating early so he could play at least two seasons with the Vols. His drafting team doesn’t blow him away and he might be inclined to go back in the pool with us.

Edit: after InVol’s post, I’m less optimistic. Nationals aren’t afraid to spend more than they’re slotted.

Brady House at 11
