Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Ace]

Players are back channel with coaches through HS coaches and family. Would not surprise me that we already know several transfer who have interest, but have not hinted at possible transfers

I can't imagine this plant would be anything close to the addictive power something like suboxon or methadone boasts. What I've read is the plant carries an addictive quality similar to caffeine and less than nicotine. I would bet the house that it is not even in the same universe as the withdrawals from a high powered opiate, such as hydrocodone, oxycontin, heroin, methadone or subutex/suboxone.

Also, I think using anything as a replacement would be a terrible idea. However, using something that is virtually non-addictive in comparison for stepping down from a chronic addiction to a particular substance could help millions.

The more I've read about this plant, the more obvious it is that it will be studied and eventually approved for use in addiction recovery.

Nicotine is one of the most addictive substances on the planet. So, there is a lot of territory in there. Most of the people who are in recovery from opioids, maintain their addiction to nicotine.

You may be right that it may someday be used in addiction recovery, but for now I continue to believe it is doing way more harm than good. Where there is a huge potential market ($$$), there is also the huge potential for lot's of misinformation. Let the buyer beware!

No doubt Suboxone and Methadone are misused a lot.

The way AP and those guys handled the Mincey deal this past weekend def makes me believe they really have no idea how we are approaching the transfer market. Outside of Verse who everyone wants the staff is keeping that close until after this signing day.

 

[Weezer]

I'm thinking of hiding under the bed until Wednesday.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Which ones? Goodwin and..

Afari is going to end up at Cincinnati. IMO.

 

[i2amavol]

Relax everyone, after signing days the portal will be full of experienced players in positions of need. Our offense will be high octane. Chess not checkers

Agreed (until proven otherwise).

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I wish Purdue was at full strength…. Means even less beating them.

A random bowl in December against Purdue doesn’t mean much regardless.

But a win gets us to 8 and for recruiting and “marketing” it helps immensely. Nobody cares if Purdue is out two guys when you can go into recruits homes and say that you won 8 games in your first year with like 65 scholarship players

You didn’t talk to me…. Besides Heupel, Garner was by far our biggest coaching get…. I did a happy dance when I heard he was coming back…..He was a big reason for our 90’s run and a big reason why we started our slide was bc he left.

No argument from me. I'm a fan. Not what I was talking about though.

I take it when I'm having really bad pain. I have been for about a year. I have taken it daily for several weeks before and then stopped cold turkey for a week or so without any withdrawal.
It also seems like it would be impossible to overdose on. Anything can be abused though. I think it is one of those things that has slipped through the pharmaceutical companies fingers and can be grown locally, so there's not a lot of money in it. I always buy mine from a reputable, local online source that shows exactly where it came from and the manufacturing process.

Florida's current recruiting class is 6 Linemen and a Kicker. I think they're taking the "games are won and lost in the trenches" thing a little too literally.

Reading all y’all’s posts has me confused… the way I understand NIL is that it doesn’t come from the school. It comes from businesses.

Now maybe there’s collusion between coaching staffs and businesses. I think NCAA has a rule to prevent that. So, to circumvent the rule, some wealthy boosters are essentially setting up fake businesses to sign players to NIL deals.

Correct me if I’m wrong, I don’t believe the school makes a deal or “signs” a player to a NIL deal

 

[RiseToTheTop]

It’s such a strange thing to think about, but if you get a first-second year guy as a transfer, you’ve basically gotten a high-school recruit, but you have more film on them, they’ve had much better S&C, and there’s less of a chance they’ll transfer out on you.

Yeh it’s less of a crapshoot than a true high school recruit bc you have no idea if he pans out. You have an idea of what a kid is in the portal as he’s further along in many ways.

I think this is a most unusual year. There are going to be so many moving pieces before it is all said and done. With the free year last year, it makes transfers even more important. I think our coaches are taking this into account when taking HS commits (or not).

Yeah, that's exactly how it works, wink wink.

It’s going to drive fans crazy, though. Everyone is used to taking 25-28 high-school/JUCOs, so if you end signing day with a 15 person class, it’s going to be doomsaying for months until they realize “oh, we’re taking ten transfers.”

This is probably the most unappreciated facts about the Fulmer tenure, and yours is probably an understatement.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Man it really does seem like we’re gonna lose out on a good bit of targets to finish 22.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

It seems like we are just missing on a bunch of our remaining targets... Common theme?

 

[volbeast33]

All of them do that. Unless you’re AP or Hubbs which in that case you make a prediction and then rescind it with another possibility.

Usually I can get a feel for where the truth lies with Hubbs and AP…. Callahan literally says nothing.

I just saw Bruce Wayne and Batman together.

I have heard that people have wildly varying responses to it. Glad to hear that it is working for you.

I had not considered the info in the bolded text. Pharmaceutical companies, in general, are not our friends.

Like who?

Can portal kids sign Wednesday?

Portal kids just show up. They don't sign.

Having a hard time closing on the defensive side of the ball. Offensive recruiting is solid. Great class of WRs. Solid RB class, assuming we close on Williams, which we should. A great QB. And some good pieces on the OL, especially with Mincey, the transfer from UF. But the recruiting on the defensive side of the ball leaves something to be desired.

That stinks since D is where we need the most help at this point... Portal Portal Portal
