Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

ETSU Bucketeers are on ESPN 3 or the ESPN app. Hanging with last years runner up in 2nd half of the TBT.

Did Mr. Jennings play? I know he's old but I bet he could still hoop.

That guy’s good…and understandable. I think I got a lot out of it…but hell how would I know?

I had watched the film study which is really informative….. last night, I watched most of the whole game bc I wanted to see what didn’t work and what did.

 

[drvenner]

Should’ve had Sweet Pea’s and Gus’ Chicken.

Dead End is very good. Gus's all day every day over Ruth's Chris.

Smokehouse 228 isn't bad. Local & military owned, foods good for the price. You can take a cheap date night there for less than $30 if you wanted.

You in South Knox or Seymour?

 

[drvenner]

Lost 58 to 57 on a 30 foot 3. Dang it!

That totally blows.

My 6 year old is constantly telling me what I'm doing wrong. She's taking after my wife too much

We’re all used to being chastised for our opinion on here, par for the course .

Srsly u guise r jurks.

Yes The Basketball Tournament. 64 mostly alumni teams. Winner takes all 1 million. They were 12th seed against the 1 seed in their bracket. UT starts their bracket play Friday night at 7 eastern.

I think we are the 9 seed and playing like the 4 seed, maybe?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

That's a very good point I haven't considered. Maybe he knows he might not play this year, but he'd have the opportunity to get coached by Heupel and learn from him for a year or two before going where he has an opening.

Really comes down to two things. Is he humble and how hard is he willing to work. Some of the greatest QBs to ever play didn't get their shot until their junior seasons.

A kid who is humble and just wants to be the best player he can isn't worried about starting. Had Pruitt still been here I think HB leaves, but I think (or at least I hope this is the case) with the new staff coming in all those QBs realized these guys can make me a better QB and regardless of how much playing time I get or don't get I want to soak up as much as I can from them.

Middleton to West Virginia

Them Mountaineers have no idea what they have gotten themselves into, LOL.

 

[drvenner]

BREAKING: Manchester United and Real Madrid reportedly exploring a move to the Southeastern Conference.

I would be all for Liverpool joining.

 

[JCVol00]

As long as we play Texas every year im happy with this move

 

[Jackcrevol]

Been to fantsee steakhouses. their idea of a steak is a grilled saltbomb...

Went to local place in JC once. Steak was like $45 - damn thing had peppercorns all over bottom. I like heat and spice but, it wasnt great.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah more I think about it...regardless if he even plays a snap this year for us or not Harrison Bailey has made a smart decision for his future.

He could have left the sinking boat with everyone else this off-season...but where was he going to land? Or he could return and spend a full off-season and regular season becoming a better QB under arguably one of the best QB HCs around. Even if he leaves after this season to transfer out he'll at least do it as a better QB. But I hope he's willing to play the long game here.

Hooker or Milton start this year and ball out. We land some more weapons and HB enters next season ready to hit the ground running.

Ballinteers play their first game tomorrow night

JMO - no arrows please. Heup recruited Milton to the roster because you alway take a shot at developing talented players if you have a spot on the roster to give even if they have already failed elsewhere. Milton failed. He was at fault and maybe, so was the coaching. Terrible accuracy and decision making. Very talented and physically imposing. So you take a shot on the guy figuring it out if you are Heup since he had a vacant spot in the QB room. He will have to learn the O scheme as well as player tendencies while they learn his. You go with a guy who can run when you don't have a guy that can get it done in the passing game. So if HB flames out at some point in camp or during the season, you have somebody that can potentially put points on the board with his feet while learning to be his best self as a passer. Jackson will be here next season and he fits the O scheme perfectly.

But being a good QB always starts first between the ears. You have to think correctly and quickly. That was JG's major problem - it never clicked.

Personally, I see nothing of Maurer and Hooker that tells me they can run this O well. Which is another reason you would bring in Milton.

Seymour

 

[VOLUNTEERSZN]

Most likely true and no way in hell we ever willingly leave the SEC. I would think that even Bama would fight to keep us in the conference.

I’m sure they would knowing it’s a free win lol

Such a good team name love it

 

[Ron Swanson]

I actually like the idea of adding Texas and OU.

The playoffs take away some of the importance of the regular season games and that’s what is/was so great about CFB...every regular season game matters. But it’s been diluted lately where only a handful of teams have a chance at the playoffs. So by adding more quality schools to the SEC it’ll make every game matter with the inevitable expansion of the playoffs to 8 or 12 teams, it will improve our chances of making it. And I’d prefer watching Tennessee play Texas or OU instead of Bowling Green or UTC. JMO.

Playing devils advocate, but we haven't seen any of these QB's run this offense. How does anyone know what Mauer can do?CJH wanted him at UCF for a reason.......
Spring Game doesn't mean squat.

 

[Glitch]

oh wait you're asking me?

I think when he says 'down set hut' he isnt wagging his arms enough. If I were him id yell 'hot route' a lot. Not in the game, just randomly. 'HOT route!' Like he's autistic.

Edit: You werent asking me, my bad.

Bet.

I'll say this, originally I was confused by the Milton take.

Then the issues with Salter popped up...and then Milton got here and he's already (at his size) one of the fastest guys on the team, not just on offense. So now I understand why they wanted and were willing to take him.

 

[JCVol00]

If we add ou and texas, we should just do away with divisions, because say we do add them then we would never play any of the sec west teams, since we would already have 8 teams in our said division, that would only leave for ine cross division game a year unless we only have 3 ooc games and do 9 conference games

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

good luck, i hear they have nice azaleas... which would me more interesting than seeing people hit white ball with stick

I knew you were a communist.
