Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[thomaseusin]

Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse..

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

What’d you do…..

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Tank will basically have his pick of schools. I don't think UCF will even be in his top 5

 

[orangejuice]

It’s absurd how easy it is for players to leave a school now.

The turnover and attrition is really something you have to expect and manage.

This more than NIL is what is ruining college football to me.

Welcome to the conversation we're already having...

Read my header old man

Probably need one more but Bo ain’t it. That would be a pretty scary and unknown QB room. I feel like we should take another or a portal player this class. Don’t like the idea of just having Milton and 2 freshman who haven’t played.

Fine. We'll just take Arch if we must.

The coaching carousel seems crazier then ever too. Maybe it's just a one year anomaly, but it seems a lot of guys are just job hopping their way to doubled salaries. Wild wild west.

I know everyone is excited about recruiting and the upcoming holidays but i need to vent a little and ask a couple questions for the ones who may know. So after a week the investigation wrapped up, the bank finally puts the money back that was stolen out of our account only to find out the funds are frozen and my account restricted due to it being compromised. The bank needs me to send them a copy of my drivers liscense front/back, most recent utility bill proving my identification is what they have on file. After that they are gonna send me a hard copy check of the amount owed and could take up to 14 business days. I told the bank if they made it this hard for the hackers to get my money it woulda never gotten stolen. My question is this protocol for it to be so hard to get my money back and to take this long? I know its a long shot but is there any legal action that can be taken??Im the only income for my family and this has almost crippled us with my next paycheck still a week away.


Sorry for such a long post.

Go to a credit union. Had fraud one time for a small amount, they put the money back into my account within two days and they investigated what happened. Really easy process and all I had to do was fill out a couple pages of paperwork.

hope it's a night game.....

And Tennessee wears all Orange just so they can’t escape from The Pantone 151! I hope that the band gets to play Rocky Top so many times that the recorded music never gets a chance to play…

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

<sigh>

I don't think we're getting another commit today....

Be patient. Your incessant “where’s the next commit?” Is almost as bad as the realist’s negativity.

The difference is that I see all your posts. I have most of the realists (negaVols) on ignore.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

The first time in 5 years will have no question who the QB1 is, kinda nice.

We unfortunately had no QB controversy during the pruitt #2 years.

 

[triadvolfan]

Ever who these people are thinks Bo and Tank ends up at UCF

Lol. The CFN intern probably googled who Auburn's last coach was, looked up where he's currently coaching, and then said UCF was the early favorite.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

No one cared.

Anybody that wants us to get those extra portal transfers cares. SFA is a FCS school but is division 1 and I think earns us one of our 7 possible replacements if this is in fact a completed transfer.

edited to add this was in reference to Maurer completing a transfer in the portal.

Sorry for such a long post.

Is this a regional/national bank or local, small town boutique bank? I used to be in banking 12ish years on the IT side for a large regional bank and it should just be a little paperwork upfront and they will typically give you the money back within 2-5 days. If it’s a local, small town bank there could be more red tape and longer waiting periods just due to them not being able to consume that risk as easily.

Hope it gets resolved for you soon!

Manning is the only Vol that got screwed out of the Heisman…….

Johnny Majors says Hello!

Lost out due media to a player from a loser ND team…

Imagine having 3 NFL receivers and starting JG..

I really do hate Jeremy F’n Pruitt.

Without the pain of pruitt, we would not have the Hope of Heupel. We’re in a better place now. Sometimes an awful experience can be a blessing in disguise.

Just imagine if we had hired an OC Heupel 4 years ago instead of a DC in pruitt. The entire football world would have thought that we were crazy.

We would have never dealt with #2. Those NFL WR would have been All Americans. Think of all the players thst went elsewhere. Cade Mays would have never been a dawg. The potential differences are endless. But we didn’t, so here we are.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Evans yes, Nolen no. He’s is sooo average. Dude is average at the Tennessee high school level he’s never gonna make it big time in the SEC.

The ted flag for me is how many high schools he has played for…

I can help you find Waffle Houses in Baton Rouge, and I even have boxing gloves, swords, mattress to burn, just let me know your brawling preferences.

Jousting.

Mike Gundy showed interest in open SEC job through agent’s letter to AD, per report

I sort of thought next year would be a mystery. HH 100% helps - but I'm thinking more defense. Aren't we losing a good bit of veterans on the DL? Of course...our LBs really can't be any worse is an upside. Losing AT hurts a bit. Velus...Tillman(?), not sure about Payton...does he have another year? OL will have to fill up the Cade gap and we haven't recruited there well in a few years. RBs are meh. TEs could improve.

Schedule is even better than this year though (no way Pitt is as good and LSU will ofc be solid, but not top 10 good as Ole Miss). UK could be good again though and Mizzou and USC found their footing. Not sure those 2 will be pushovers. 7-5 feels about right, but 8-4 would be nice to overachieve a bit. I had us at 6.6 wins last year. I'm feeling 7.1 for next season...way too early ofc. Grabbing a big time transfer or 2 sure would help...maybe a big time LB and RB and OT...

Jones and Payton will be gone next year but we have plenty of depth and speed at WR. I'm not concerned about losing some off the DL. Omari Thomas played more and more as the season went along, and so did the big kid from Kansas. Like you said LB will likely still be an issue next year unless we strike transfer portal gold.

Cade was out for more than one game this year and we survived. For next years schedule, Pitt will be a shadow of it's former self, Florida will be down, We will continue to be a bad match-up for Kentucky, Vandy gonna Vandy, and we will be better on the offensive side of the ball at the very least than both Missouri and SC.

If they can do Christmas in July sales, we can do July vols predictions at Christmas!

Question for you: are the POTS musicians happy with all the recorded music being played?

The POTS always got the crowd so fired up. I just can’t see the same response to some snippet of recorded music.

I would always choose to listen to the POTS instead. Seems like an incredible waste of all the scholarship money…

Let me guess, he wants to date your daughter and he knows you are a huge Vol Fan.



(@VolsDoc81TX gonna be pissed when he reads this in about 4 days.)

Nope, just one of her classmates.
She’s dating a WR.

It’s really hard to be the scary, intimidating protective Dad when my daughter has good taste and picks truly nice guys to go out with. On the other hand, maybe they are so nice because I am so scary, yeah that’s it.
