Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I know, but they've been gymnasts since before they went to Ohio State. Just like the girls, they start at an early age. There is a sense of indoctrination with some coaches.

I said some @Geaux_Vols so plz don't be offended.

I’m confused….. how were the wrestlers gymnasts before they went to Ohio state.

My bad. I got the twisties and replaced "wrestlers" with "gymnasts".

Wrestlers, I have no idea. Maybe the same principle? I just don't know.

 

[Orange Studs]

Probably for the better for both of them. Sad to see it though. They gave their All.

So how does this shake down as far as next years class? Will we be able to use these two spots?

 

[Weezer]

Side note, in ancient times, didn't guys wrestle each other naked?


I bet @InVOLuntary remembers.

 

[VflPT22]

Not trying to be negative, this is a genuine question... From top to bottom is our 2 deep probably one of if not the worst in school history right now?

I don’t think so. On offense our wide receivers are solid along with our running backs. On the offensive line we will be starting two 5 stars along with other good returning players. We have a bunch of experience on the defensive line while also adding two valuable transfers. Linebacker is weak but also added two good transfers and with banks and Willis we should be fine. In the secondary we have good not great talent. I think Taylor can be good and we added turnage and Hadden. I think our top two is good..it’s the depth behind them that’s the problem

Since they are both redshirt seniors then my answer would be yes.

I think both were COVID seniors, but I could be wrong. If so, I'm sure @butchna will correct me.

LOL You can be sure of that.

Not at all, there are good and bad in every profession, for sure.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

He's a grown man, he can take his own medicine.

Also, catch up. @Ulysees E. McGill and I made up. We're besties now. Btw, McGill I just got back from Missoula a few weeks ago but haven't posted pics yet. Love MT. I think I love Idaho more though.

I've not been to Missoula yet, but it does look like a great spot..and I've been watching a ton of YT vids by this guy that lives in Idaho...it is an awesome place for sure.

You corrected yourself…autocorrect.

No.

In those old Greek armies they fought in the nude also…and didn’t exactly miss women. Right InVol?

I wasn't abused but I did wrestle in college. Wrestled plenty of times where I wasn't fully mentally in it. Nationals my senior year I pulled my groin very first match and lost. Since it was my senior year I put ice on it (very uncomfortable) in between each match and kept wrestling. Was one match away from being an All American but I tweaked my groin again and couldn't score any more points. I did finish that match though

Wouldn’t these go for this class?

NO .

You are suffering from "BVS".


Put your orange big girl undies on and prepare to be obnoxious to every opposing fan you run into.

Say it with me WGWTFA!

I’m not one to share personal family things, or ask for anything, but want to ask y’all for prayers for my daughter, her husband, and my new grandson! He was born last Friday, had to be taken at 33 weeks, but was still 7.2lbs.
On Saturday, he was air lifted to Morgantown, due to collapsed lungs. My daughter developed diabetes with her first child, weird bc she’s very fit and 24, but this time around it affected the baby’s sugar levels.
He’s been on oxygen, feeding tube, and umbilical IV this week.
He’s now off everything, eating and breathing on his own, and his sugar levels have stabilized. They may get to come home this weekend, but most likely early next week.
She’s a trooper! 24 hours after a c section, had to jump in a car with her husband and drive 3 hours to be with him and stay in a hotel!! That’s a sore subject!!
But nonetheless, he’s doing better, and I can’t wait to meet him! Having two boys of my own, this little dude will have plenty of UT gear for the rest of his life!!
Keep them in your prayers as they try to get home and on the mend!! Thanks y’all!!

*Gets presented the full details from the athlete herself, confirmed as a legitimate issue for gymnasts by professional and Olympic gymnasts, gets supported by her teammates and coaches who back her decision as legitimate*

"None of us know the full details and none of us ever will."

It's certainly an intriguing human condition to flippantly disregard information coming from trustworthy sources as made-up.

Okay, I swear I'm done talking about it.

If you're so easily convinced on an issue, that's fine. There is a lot of evidence that this was a selfish, petty decision based solely on ego, and a lot of evidence that this was a legitimate issue she was having.

That fake, unbelievably contrived video isn't evidence of anything other than her need to try to convince people to her side.

You've made up your mind and will ignore any evidence to the contrary and believe any evidence in support, no matter how outlandish. Lots of other people are the exact opposite and refuse to believe any evidence that supports this being a legitimate issue and a smart decision.

Noone should believe that video as evidence for anything.

I think she just cracked from a combination of poor performance, mental incapacity, and ego.

 

[ptclaus98]

No.

Doesn't it open it up for transfers?

I knew I liked you. Similar situation but happened in high school and cost me my spot in college. Decided to hang it up and go to UT.

What a novel concept...doing your best and finishing what you started..

See...now that was inspirational.

 

[SCvol333]

I haven’t followed every detail of this, but I think there is no chance it’ll end up 2025.

Agreed. They are saying that so they don’t have to pony up money to a conference that will likely dissolve when everyone leaves. Then they can all leave for free. Would be shocked if it took to 2025
