Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Jack5151]

I don’t think we really recruited 2 of them. Also, look at the schools they went to. If they had gone to higher level schools, then I would guess we missed out on them and wanted them. I understand Pittman got one, but the other two schools are not recruiting juggernauts. OL is the toughest position to rank for the services.

I've seen Bussell and Sanders play from field level and they are the exact same type of player. Not overly aggressive but they move really well to be as big as they are.

You’re either new to this or a troll

And either way, clearly in need of the ignore button.

Click it and they never existed!

Hadden has hardly practiced. I have a hard time believing he will contribute much in the first few games at least.

 

[Gilbert]

Been super busy lately and may have missed it, but what’s going on with Kamal Hadden, having missed 4 straight practices? Doesn’t sound like injury.

Will a yak let you ride it in the water? Holy Moley.

You can ride a yak in shallow water. And up a mountain. Their wool is sought after for clothing. Their milk is used to make butter and yogurt, and their dung can be dried and cooked over. They do smell, however. Some Bama fans have also spoken of their ‘companionship’, but .
Overall, yak or kayak, it’s a win-win situation. (Except for the yak in regards to bama fans)

If recruiting doesn’t pick up for offensive linemen, it won’t matter who the running backs are! According to this, evaluation and getting guys on board appear to be a big problem for OL. This needs to change ASAP for stability and success in 2-4 years! It must be a high priority!

The Tony Basilio Show

Basilio didn't write this article. A recruiting guy named X who occasionally does blogs wrote this.

X sounds totally legit.

Couldn’t possibly be Basilio writing it to make it look like a ‘recruiting expert’ was stopping by.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Does this mean they’re going to be the new media favorite? Ridiculous they’re not on that list, and yet their stadium was voted number 1. Obviously whoever is doing these knows nothing.

Facts

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Id say

1. LSU
2. Florida
3. Clemson
4. South Carolina

I may agree if I lived in those states. Living in Georgia is brutal. Shoot, one of my best friends is a Georgia fan and doesn’t like to announce it because he said the fanbase is ruthless and crazy.

 

[thomaseusin]

Can’t say I know anything about this guy’s analysis but thought it was a good listen on Hendo’s abilities and opportunities for the Tennessee offense this season.

It’s almost football time in Tennessee!!

Sounds EXACTLY like an injury. Missed practices dating back to his elbow being padded up.

I hope Turnage can take hold of one of the corner spots.

I used to think that also, but there’s actually an X. He comes on the show every now and again. Sounds a bit like Tim Priest.

X is not Basilio. He occasionally comes on the show to talk recruiting.

X also comes on the radio show from time to time to discuss recruiting.

 

[franklinpence]

Florida fans are fairweather so they disappear when they suck. Miami needs fans in order to be annoying.

Fair enough. I just always consider them the classic, fan douchebags.

 

[bignewt]

doesnt X come on the show sometimes to discuss recruiting?

Was just going to ask this. I will wait impatiently for a response from anyone that might have this coveted information.

Injured elbow. Cain said he was throwing the medicine ball inside today. He’ll be fine.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Exactly! Thank you!!! Clearly hacks on this board can’t understand FACTS.

But.. they aren’t facts?

We didn’t even really recruit 2 of the 3 OL. Staff basically deemed them a low priority for the recruiting class and then we are supposed to go doom and gloom that we didn’t get 2 guys that the staff didn’t even put importance on? Nah, no thanks.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I can't argue with the fact that they are the best of the best, defensively, but as far as hitting goes, longevity should be part of the equation, IMO.

I agree...but if I had to pick one guy to play for one year at the peak of their game....I'm taking The Kid. I think the injuries that took their toll in his later years have fogged peoples perception of him.

I really believe that for three or four years that he was the most spectacular baseball player (not just hitter)of all time.

Like I said...that is not just taking offense into account....and of course I'm throwing out all the roiders.

 

[engineerVOL]

I was there One of the loudest moments I have ever been involved with.

It was awesome. My top moment at Neyland.

 

[Volsdeep4]

Yes and that’s four players for a unit we desperately need much better depth and some people around here understand it takes linemen the longest time to develop!

If kids don’t want to come to TN then it is what it is. Really we only had a shot at 1 that’s Brycen. We’ve been a disaster for a decade. Can’t knock this staff in year 1.5.

Just got the call that my Cupcake, a 13-14 year old walk on rescue peaceably passed in the night. Thought we had a little more time as she has been winding down for a while.

An American bulldog yellow lab mix has been a wonderful companion, damaged one hammer handle, and no health issues with annual shots only involved. She was a feral ghost dog living in nearby woods that we won over ahead of several neighbors due in large part to my grandson being an attraction. 80 lb Cupcakes come about when you ask your 5 year old grandaughter to name her.

Having to cut short a visit with the Auburn grands for the return trip to properly prepare her and her spot of honor. Sadly on my 47th wedding anniversary.

Wild dog to full blown loving house diva is a saga I will cherish always. Looked a lot like Marley, but ALL smooth sailing all the way to checking out on her own terms in her own house.
