Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Not gunna lie I’m a little excited about the changing color lights.

That was the was the final nail.

Losing to Kentucky is acceptable under absolutely no circumstances

 

[HankHill]

Tony Basilio just said there's concerns at WR, coaches don't love that room. They have speed but that's about it. Velus Jones has a hammy issue. Hyatt can't play on the outside because he can't beat press coverage. RB is going to be solid. Defense won't be as bad as you'd think. DBs could be surprisingly good

Agree with all this. Velus is a nfl WR though. Hyatt can play off him. Flowers fits very will in this defense and I’ve been on Alontae since he arrived. Nfl corner.

My boy Beasley will impress y’all too.

And saying losing to Kentucky makes me want to . Never should have had happen in my lifetime. Never.

So if the high school coaches weren't fond of Pruitt, why did @de1conley and NPA love him so much?

Again @Weezer we didn't hv so much love but what we do know is he's a national recruiter that kids love. That's why he's been NROY more than once. What we will say and continue to say is the way it was handled here to get out of paying popcorn money is Bush league as hell. Pay the bread and be done with it vs helping the NCAA punish the school while paying attorneys long money.

$13 mil is “popcorn money”? How much you charging per chair cut, Dawg?

 

[SweetasSoda]

Oh, smh.

Maybe I'm interpreting the tweet wrong BUT it sounds like the kid who transferred (probably because he was unhappy with his place on the depth chart at Auburn) is now also not happy about his place on the depth chart here (and maybe thinks he's better than the more experienced guys in front of him) (maybe also having to change numbers) and is being a diva and tweeting about it.

I think he has been using the #free9 since he was at Auburn. Thought it meant free him from there. Here is a recent tweet...

 

[Smokeytom]

The UTAD continues to be out of touch.

Lol SO many more people will be watching us on tv bc it’s a Thursday game, 2 days before week 1 officially kicks off, and CFB fans will be foaming at the mouth for games. Small

Lmao I'm not the University of Tennessee but 13 mil is popcorn money to them. Less than they've paid the coaches before him for failing in longer time frames given to achieve success or rebuild the program @butchna

Maybe it's more of "just watch me play" kind of thing with the Free9? Like "just let me get on the field and watch what happens". Nothing wrong with a player who's hungry.

$13 million is $13 million. I’d be happy if they spent $40 million to not pay that MF a nickel. Fulmer, Dooley and Butch ultimately failed at their jobs but without all this other bs. And we grumbled every second of every paycheck. **** him!

The FF is a weird place.

 

[Glitch]

thx.

sidenote: dog farts stink.

Could be. It is not negative toward Tennessee whatever it means.

I hear you but they all did it but some less than others. I've witnessed the good. The bad, and the ugly of every coach since Fulmer. I've been around since Big John, Buck, Reggie Ridley, and Satonio Beard days of recruiting on down to E. Gordon, Stone, and many others

I still like it too. But also noticed OSU-Minnesota scheduled an 8 PM game too. Stealing the spotlight. God OSU is the worst.

 

[Glitch]

My wife wants us to get a Honda ridge line. I told her that people will make fun of us.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

It’s a Thursday night game. Our fans have to drive a long way to get there. Surely they didn’t expect anything near a sellout?

I say just offer super cheap tickets to get the seats filled and hope you make the difference in concessions.

 

[VolNash17]

That was my thinking as well… offer tickets in the $15-$20 range and sell it out that way

And if there was no sweeping it under the rug? Do you support paying him anyway for getting the program in trouble? Seems counterproductive IMO. If we're going down for something he did, I'm all for him going down with us, and not getting paid for it. It's called responsibility. Screwing up comes with consequences. One of those should be not getting paid millions of dollars for it.

Ya know, I have a hunch that Arch Manning kid might be pretty good at football one day

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Glad to have you back. Thoughts on the upcoming season? Record prediction?

Better be the right shade of orange or the blue hairs will cancel their donations

 

[Bruce Wayne]

I just placed a hefty sum of money on the over 58.5 for UT vs Bowling Green… instant regret. My one rule is never bet on Tennessee games.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

15 years later looks like they finally got the scumbag who did this! I was living in Miami when this terrible tragic murder happened. Senseless!!

Former Miami Hurricanes player Rashaun Jones arrested in 2006 killing of teammate Bryan Pata

Him being front row of that picture on the field around the banner is crazy.
