Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[UT = Checkmate]

Is he saying upperclassmen are going to transfer because they know what freshmen are getting paid?

He ain’t lying. It’s about to get real.

 

[Ashevolle]

I am willing to see how it plays out also, but you have to admit that it is more than a little frustrating. I sit and watch this team and drool thinking about what he could do with a high 4*-5* loaded two deep, Bama, OSU and UGA type roster.

The difference would be mostly on defense and having depth along the OL.

Make no mistake, Heupel is doing this the hard way right now...We have to close the talent gap significantly with the big 5 if we want to do this year in and year out.

I don't believe that current recruiting is a failing of this staff, I think it is just the result of 15 years of suckitude plus the financial realities of the new NIL era.

We will be alright, but it would be nice if just for once we could have the cheat code....you know the same one Saban had when he skipped 4-5 steps back in the late 2000s. The route we are having to take will have more ups and downs...and you just have to hope that the downs will not be so bad that momentum is ruined

Saban's natty at LSU made things a lot easier at Bama. If Heupel had won a championship elsewhere before coming here, we'd have a top 5 class easy for 2023. As it is, he still needs to make his name. Good news it looks like he's doing it.

A guy on a message board made it.

Lol

So upperclassmen are not happy???

Quit going to the football forum, it’s toxic and it’s apparently affecting your perspective.

Return to the Recruiting Forum where Rralists are one game at a time. Take care of each obstacle weekly.

Optimism is a very realistic 15-0

Could be bad bassmaster… blink twice if you are posting against your will with these ludicrous negavol ideas…

It's a joke. Someone always fires Banks in the first quarter. . .

Sounds like it and is understandable.

How is someone gonna feel when they find out the new/green employee at work is making more than them and they've been with the company for 3 years?

 

[Enki_Amenra]

@Enki_Amenra take the Q1 over. I had a dream it was 7-0 good guys with 12:42 to go in the first. It’s a lock.

I think they're onto the 1st qtr boys. Usually over 6.5 Tenn total is pretty decent. This week it's not worth messing with. Have to go up around 9.5-10 to get close to even money.

I'll check the 1st qtr over, I feel like it could be somewhere around 10-7 Vols.

Some of these kids are probably making as much as some of the coaching staff. Redonkulous! It’s gonna have to flatten out. No way this can be sustained for the long haul. JMO

Tyler Childers, Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson > the rest. They are all even better live too

Give Brent Cobb, Colter Wall, and Ryan Bingham a listen too. I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple of others.

Rewatched the ending to the Bama game for the 14th time this morning...

Something I noticed...

The two best endings to Tennessee games In the last 15 years involved #15 catching an improbable ball, and a CBS announcer calling "it is caught!"

Not "it's caught" or "caught". IT IS CAUGHT.

That's why I always make a SGP with Vols 1Q over 6.5 in it.

 

[Johnny Majors]

There are lessons here from NFL free agency. Big spending doesn't always equal success. Have to find that right balance between talent, character, development and strategically filling holes. I feel pretty confident in this staff's ability to manage that.

Kentucky is going to get victimized tomorrow night

 

[Vol464]

Glitch is definitely an instigator. I found him and a bunch of other glitches under a rock one day, and they all chased me. Scared the **** out of me.

Glitches don’t chase you. They are naturally inquisitive and want to tase you.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

I’ve dreamt about this game twice this week. Once we were in danger of losing and then I realized it wasn’t actually us playing Kentucky, it was Georgia Southern. Then last night I dreamt we were up 66-34 late in the game. I don’t know what these dreams mean. Probably that I shouldn’t eat so close to bedtime.

 

[butchna]

I don’t have an issue with it. You know what you’re paying for because they’ve been VETTED. Trial and error will prevail when errybody tries to land a Jahmyr Gibbs or Jarred Verse every class tho.

 

[Orange.]

He's talking about nationally, not us as a particular case, if that's what you're asking.

 

[butchna]

Glitches don’t chase you. They are naturally inquisitive and want to take you.

They can only reproduce when you fear them. Like the Sisters in Shawshank.

 

[Vols410]

Saving our money for this I think.

 

[Vol464]

10 years on this forum and I still don’t know the inside jokes I guess. And I still get butthurt by people trying to make me look like a fool, even though nobody knows who I actually am. Guess that makes me the fool.

Does that make you a moran?

 

[bignewt]

I have higher standards than you. It’s a shame.

We’re going to be fine. Never said we weren’t. But yes, I’d like to finish in the top 10 in year 2 and out-recruit sunbelt Billy who’s having a disastrous first season at Florida.

Ask yourself, if you don’t care about recruiting or discussing recruiting, why are you here, in the recruiting forum?

Because I have been tasked to police your ridiculously whiny, unwarranted and star gazing defunct school of thinking about recruiting.

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. I believe in development. You don't. I am being proven correct. You continue to throw your little crib fits.

 

[TN404]

Yeah... He's not gonna be in Oxford very long.... Lol

I was, and they never posted it. She has had more shows popup but scalpers are poaching the hell out of her tickets. Happy for her, but I'm also not going to overpay to see her live and have to travel. I love the Bijou & TN Theatre and if someone I enjoy comes to town I try to go. But her Bijou tickets were $25 a pop for anywhere originally, scalpers got 'em near $100 a piece. I'll just wait and try to catch her back in town another time.

Thanks for the heads up though!

I think Morgan's days of playing small venues are just about over. Excited to see her with my daughter at Buckhead Theater in ATL.

View attachment 506940I have enjoyed seeing Tom Brady fail this year.

I wish T-Bay would move on...I don't follow the NFL anymore, but I do want the Bucs to do well.
