Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I still take Lebby over most...but that's just me.

he's definitely intriguing to me.

Well guys, we won't be seeing @volfanngatorland for awhile View attachment 187853

My rights weren’t the only thing violated during my arrest

If a young up and comer is mentioned people think we're not shooting high enough. Monken is mentioned and people whine that we're shooting too high. Nothing but big names mentioned lately and everyone complains that Pruitt is panicking. I think I see the common theme. No matter what happens there will be a lot of belly aching in here.

You are right. I've liked the names but not the outcomes.

And everyone has rubbery chicken and rice at the banquet.

Once I saw FootballScoop advertising that they have their own party at this thing I began to see what it really is. It’s for the media dorks to hang out with football coaches and feel cool.

He's probably using the buckle end after that game (also still ridiculous that he hits his kids based on their athletic performances).

I know. I was at my friend's house watching game and his wife(bama fan( made me watch the special on his dad. He actually made him a lefty(not natural). And beat him. Kinda sad really.

Only from the standpoint of advising Pruitt to talk to people and seek out ideas and advice from good offensive minds. And he counseled Pruitt on hiring someone who would represent the university well and be a good fit. Fulmer stressed the importance of everybody pulling in the same direction, which is a top-down focus at UT. Fulmer hasn't micromanaged the search. The timeline and anything slowing that down is all Pruitt.

and i think Pruitt, i know he does, agrees with that sentiment.

This OC hire is never gonna happen, is it?

Never ever

"This just in, scientists have cured cancer! What a great day in world history. Now, turning to sports, the Tennessee Volunteers still have not hired an OC..."

Was not trying to put words in your mouth. Thanks for the info.

@bignewt (and anyone else with some insight)

Do you have any recommendations for CBD, brands/strains, and places to purchase (retail or online)? I have a loved one who is suffering from insomnia and side effects from epilepsy medication. Her provider is completely unwilling to look into any kind of holistic approaches to manage her condition. Any and all comments/replies are most appreciated. Thanks!

I know-- just clarifying. Fulmer is kinda damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. People want him to stay out of it and let Pruitt run the show... then get mad that Fulmer isn't running it better.

Tennessee players are set to begin classes Wednesday, as Jeremy Pruitt’s team will start its first full offseason under strength and conditioning coordinator Craig Fitzgerald. The Vols inked 19 players during the Early Signing Period and have two more commits still in play (DB Anthony Harris, DL LeDarrius Cox). They also hope to add 5-star tackle Darnell Wright, linebackers Henry To’oto’o and Chris Russell and possibly one other prospect in February. So how will the numbers work themselves out?

Tennessee went through its 2018 season with a roster of 85 scholarship players. Pruitt put walk-on lineman Paul Bain on scholarship to get to the full limit, but a pair of offensive lineman were hurt the entire season (Tanner Antonutti and DeVante Brooks) and have since medically retired. Tennessee now has two extra scholarships to play with in 2019, but numbers remain very tight due to minimal attrition elsewhere thus far.

Quart’e Sapp (NFL), Will McBride (transfer) and Marquill Osborne are the only players to leave the program this offseason. The Vols graduated just 11 seniors. As it stands, Tennessee will have 79 scholarship players when classes begin tomorrow. That includes 10 early enrollees (Brian Maurer, Wanya Morris, Chris Akporoghene, Ramel Keyton, Warren Burrell, Jaylen McCollough, Quavaris Crouch, Eric Gray, Tyus Fields and Jackson Lowe) and former 5-star and Michigan d-tackle transfer Aubrey Solomon. It also includes Trey Smith, whose status for 2019 remains unknown right now. That number does not include a player like fourth-year tight end Andrew Craig, who signed with Tennessee as a preferred walk-on in 2016.

The Vols still have nine signees set to arrive this summer and want to add 4-5 more prospects in February. To get to the 85 limit, attrition (at least ~ 6-7 players leaving) must happen. It could occur tomorrow before classes start, within the next week before the NFL early entry deadline or after spring practice. There are some obvious candidates, with someone like Latrell Williams exploring his options in the NCAA Transfer Portal. Others make sense, too, but we'll withhold any speculation.

I still find it funny that he's from Alabama. Everything about that game was a dick punch to Saban.

How could Saban let a kid in his backyard get away like that? Oh, Bama. what could have been...

go to Plus CBD Oil™ | Americas #1 Choice for CBD Products I get the spray or the oil.

is the oil like essential oils where it gets released into the air?

nvm I think you meant drops.

 

[IhateGA]

While I agree with the importance of having your coaches all pulling in the same direction, It shouldn't take 40+ days to find someone to fill that need. 42 days and counting and we don't appear to be any closer to finding a coach who wants to be on the same page as Pruitt still. It's damn embarrassing.

Did it also allude that Wright and Russel where the most likely atp?

Yeah it was the lead story on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC yesterday. Everyone is making fun of us!

Thanks Newt! Just for my own curiosity, how did you find out about this company's CBD products?

I see you're in East TN as well - have you looked into any of the CBD retailers here in the area? Just want to make sure I cover my bases in case my better half wants to patronize a local company.

He picked a green one so it kind of comes with the territory. Sounds like they are navigating the waters ok though.

Dear Baby Jesus, I would like Monken please

I was referred by a friend in Texas. I've never looked locally since this stuff seems to do the trick and is truthful in what they use.
