Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Baseball needs to embrace the two-way players. Trim active roster sizes to 18-20 Have guys like ohtani will become insanely valuable. Find a way to create more storylines.

Just recruit Ohtani level players...sumbuddy’s an effin genius!

And Fulmer’s using that money for FOOTBALL upgrades. So Currie indirectly ended up doing right, there.

We can talk all we want about an AD but the only thing that matters here is what the football coach does that they hire. If Pruitt ends up failing then it’s all for not.

A lot of the guys in the league were phenomenal two way guys in high school and/or college. If teams didn’t have 35 players and 11 pitchers to get 2 outs then players would be forced to do it and i would love it.

Also DH is stupid. Pitchers need to hit.

Cart horse thing. I think we can agree that having everything the coach needs...is KINDA important.

 

[VolGee4]

Lol. These forums can get funny...especially when a great basketball team gets criticized for winning but giving up a huge lead, while your former arrogant AD, who made your school a laughingstock, is getting praised for doing his job the 8 months beforehand. All in the same week.

It’s just strange what people argue about.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Currie sucks all the balls.

Hank hasn't spelt his damn name right once when using it, worse troll job ever.

 

[Catbone]

And so it begins. The 3-year long baseball season.

Truly the worst time of the year. April - August SUCK!

 

[BigOrangeVols]

Name me one thing that you disagree with that curry did prior to the football search.

Threw his mouth piece when he fouled out against the Cavs.

Spray carb cleaner in air filter hole while pulling starter rope. If that doesn't work then disassemble & clean/rebuild carb, replace spark plug, etc etc.

Clean and rebuild carb? What's that take...about 10 minutes?

After hand cranking the blade? Maybe 20

Don’t necessarily disagree with the last part as a NL guy...never going to happen as long as unions are legal. As for the first part? In the high school ranks, your pitcher is usually your best athlete in that small pool. They get chunkier and slower in comparison to the patrons in the bigger pool. There’s a reason that Ohtani is the exception...not the rule. Pitching development requires near obsession level attention and exclusivity. Worrying about your batting average cuts into that. Now for the purposes of college level...a little more chance. But it’s becoming more and more a part of your baseball future (if you have professional aspirations) to mimic that process.

about 5 hours

Yeah, because Ohtani did not get hurt last year. Oh, wait.

There’s definitely no excuses for Pruitt. Fulmer and the money guys are giving him everything he needs and some

Part of it. I don’t want to see 3 pitching changes in the 8th inning for a couple lefty specialists

Which is what the majority of us clamored for...but were denied. When Haslam was running things.

Except for the weather. I love warm weather.

I agree with this. It drives me crazy and I LOVE baseball. It's all analytics. If you made a pitcher throw to a minimum number of batters or limited the number of changes within an inning or 2 inning time frame it would help.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I don't think it's coincidental that this was tweeted out about 6 hours before we tip it off tonight against Purdue. There seems to be a good bit of speculation and limited factual information tying Rick Barnes to anything, IMO.

It's a troll job.

Help! Can't get lawn mower to work after its been sitting.

Sometimes I have to “prime” mine for the first start of the season....pour a little gas in the carb.

 

[StoVol]

didnt see it , but did see this that I didnt know

New England Patriots: Former Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo, will be the Patriots new linebackers coach, according to Tom E. Curran. Mayo retired in 2016 after a nine-year career in the NFL – all with the Patriots – and spent the last few seasons out of football.
