Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Life lessons are hard as bituminous. We are all fallible, some by choice, circumstance, or scenario. We can all minimize the muttonheadedness by staying off social media.

"besides Tiyon Evans who QUIT THE TEAM"


Finally someone stood up and just said it. Throw him and HB in the quitter pile.

Evans would have never made it through the entire season next year anyway without getting hurt...

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I'd be tempted to stay away from Nolen just to avoid the dang circus.

Just looked at the books on top 100 for libraries, and number 2 is: Hookers and Blow Save Christmas. Apparently it's supposed to be perfectly innocent for children but humorous for adults. It's about a tow truck and a snow blower. I don't know why, but I thought a bunch of you would get a kick out of this.

Bought.

The Tiyon Evans situation is just plain weird

 

[DawgInterloper]

No, he's not LOL

Plus Georgia still has JT Daniels (for now) and Gunner Stockton incoming with Brock Vandagriff still there from last year's class. Zach wouldn't see the field at UGA. He's going somewhere he can play, would have to be a lower level P5 school probably or a G5.

I'm pretty sure that JT will transfer again. At this point, I'm conflicted about whether I care or not, because I'm not sure JT's heart is in it to play football. We do still have Carson Beck on roster, but he'll probably leave too. I guess it'll soon cost several million a year to keep a full QB depth chart.

Saw some people talking about this while internetting. . . it's crazy that there are natural ways to fight most chemical dependencies and they are so hard to find. Apparently this plant can eliminate the withdrawal symptoms of alcohol and opioid dependents. Crazy, it could help a ton of people, but not many know about it. . .

Kratom for Alcohol Withdrawal: How to Use It | Fit Recovery

P01-50-Kratom and alcohol dependence: Clinical symptoms, withdrawal treatment and pharmacological mechanisms- A case report - ScienceDirect

Been using it for almost a decade and remember mentioning it to Mcgill a few times. I highly recommend it if you have moderate...maybe even severe pain. It is great for pain and imo non-addictive, though it technically works on the opioid receptors, so I'm sure it has the ability to be for some. It just tastes way too gross for most people to want to take when not in pain. But it's mostly just calm/non intoxicating and just works. I go to the local Kava bar whenever I throw my back out and get some kratom and it takes the pain away for the rest of the day and I'm not inebriated like I remember real pain meds doing after a root canal.

Ofc every year there's a push to make it illegal...probably have Purdue and big pharma to thank for that. Something that's farrr less dangerous and does the same job...that's just too much a threat for those awful folks.

As for alcohol withdrawal and opioid dependence - haven't heard of the former but that's awesome. On the latter - yeah I could see that - just from the crowd sometimes. Some of the people I used to see there late night seemed like the kind of crowd that might have had issues at some point...but they're trying to do better and find a better route so it's a good thing and they weren't at all messed up and maybe I was just being judgemental idk.

I still don’t know how he transferred to another D1 school if he didn’t finish/pass the semester

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

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.

I wish everybody would just quit talking about it...you got guys like dude that don't give a **** how bad your quality of life is, all they worry about is "addiction"...you know what I am "addicted" to?...being able to hike and do other light physical activities I love without being in so much pain it makes me want to die.

I love the stuff, it doesn't "work" like opiates. I can get those in bucketfulls with all the physical issues that I have if I wanted to....I don't, so that should tell you the value of Mitragina Speciosa.

Oh man, Jordan Phillips is smart! Getting on campus early enough to be able to practice for the bowl prep (don't know if he can play in the bowl game or not) but that'll help him a ton getting live practice reps before Spring Ball.

I gotta say, if I was trying to help someone addicted to pain meds or alcohol, I'd really consider on figuring a plan that included using kratom to reduce withdrawal.

As far as pain management, if it works, it works, . I won't take opiates. . . except maybe an emergency surgery or post-op recovery, so this might be something to have in the medicine cabinet. . .

@Devo182. I've read a bit more on it today. Apparently locals in Asia use this stuff religiously for pain and other things. They say there are several different kinds. Some give you energy, some make you relaxed and sleep better, some work for pain, and another does a little bit of all that depending on the dosage amount. . . interesting stuff to learn about, if you can sift through the junk propaganda that's out there.

Not sure if he's any good, but the publicity would be out of this world.

I don't want LeBron anywhere near our program or University. Sorry kid.

Saw this beauty last night at the tail end of a 12 hour drive. It feels good.

Every time

 

[MoCo_Vol]

You 100% recruit Bronny James. I doubt he comes to TN, if he does it'd be awesome. Despite his name I don't think he's going to be a 1 & done, and if he's interested in playing Barnes' style of ball and staying around to develop that's going to be big time.

More kids will know about UT basketball and think of us at a higher level because of it. And if he ends up going elsewhere just the buzz recruiting him would generate would be helpful.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yeah but Olsteen is a cheater...so...

 

[Vol464]

By getting two commitments? One of which was already to committed to OU with Riley but de-committed when Riley left.

Well, when UT gets two good recruits we suck. When someone else does it they are killing it. You know how this works.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

I don't want LeBron anywhere near our program or University. Sorry kid.

And why is that? The cultural following he has with today’s youth is enough of a sale for me. Seeing him in orange and white would do wonders for our brand! I guarantee you put him in a TN Nike hoodie, it would sellout in under 24 hours.
